I know, but there is nothing written specific to why is it "good" to upgrade
it only mentions developers that use those graphic components sdk

I don't know how many of you noticed this but here is the story...
the "normal" taskbar icon size is not 32x32 but 40x40 (if not 42x42), I measured my biggest icons, they go 40x40
then, if you add custom toolbars with quicklaunch enabled, and set icons to "large", these go also from 40x40
my question is, is there a key in registry, for both quicklaunch and taskbar, to force different size of icons, I'd prefer 32x32 for both
or sort of I don't know... maybe .vbs script that alters something to do same result
???

for a ordinary user, what does Platform Update bring ?
I see its mostly tied to graphic components
do these tweak even more of OS responsivnes or this is only for gamers ?

as coolman above said, norton ghost is the way
I used it too back then in win 98/ME days
it even supports compression of backup image (its not bad)

actually if you disable on vista and 7 UAC
their security is equal to XP's
//offtopic
UAC to me was dirty solution to security

meh isn't it a fact when MS drops support/updates for OS that it is abandonware thus free
AFAIK every win version including XP RTM (SP0) comes to this

I'd say give it a shot in a VM!
can't
, too little disk for both OS and VM of same this will break a lot of functions (thumbnail, copy/move)
copy/paste is dependant on this thing?

how devastating for OS would be if dllhost.exe would be replaced with dud ?
(just like XP could to get rid of verclsid)

and simple removing the exe would be damaging to OS ?
(under condition PC doesn't use win updates) ?

ok thanks for info

well I know you can't remove everything as mshtml must stay
but when user "removes" ie via cpanel then it removes .exe and whatever is tied with .exe
this is what I'm after for

well if you get yourself XP Pro VL iso (aka Corporation version) you don't need to worry about activation even after 2014

I wrote its untested
therefore I don't claim it would work or what it will do to a system
ccleaner is better to use

well I'd miss watching HD videos
also you could give a win 2000 a chance, its not that bad, in fact its lightweight almoust as winME but much stable
I personally loved winME more than any 9x version, but when switched to 2000 (just to try it for few months) it was indeed welcomed change

now came story (well not "now", bit its a recent buzz) of Windows Blue which would kill win8 metro apps (lolz), and only support apps for itself
and that this thing will be upgrade after 1 year passes that will include UI changes too
so tell me how is worthable to even buy garbage of 8 when new upgrade comes in 1 year and will destroy all worth of "8" ?

mostly grown ups pass on those 2 requirements (atleast reasonable ones)
mostly stupid kids and teenagers fall for "i must have newest and all" - kinda reminds me on those stupid cartoons pokemon
"gotta have them all"makes me puke when I see these kids from 4th (basic) grade already getting newest touch phones and such... I mean cmon.. are your parents THAT STUPID ?

ah cool
thanks to both
btw Tripredacus, when i rearrange in list view columns or add new
how to make explorer use it for all folders ?
as i see opening new folder simply reverts it back to standard "list view" (no details, no new column, no arranged columns) ?

Windows 8 - Deeper Impressions
in General Discussion

best indeed, if he'd gone more into detail of metro crappyness it would've been better
the ending also shows how worse things have become of PC industry
in past you could buy PC with free dos (atleast in my country)
these days you can't, all win 8 crap is pre-installed and forced on
so basically who ever buys PC, has to pay for win 8 licence, and then if available NEW licence for another Win OS to downgrade
I just hope MS gets blown in the face this time, much more than with vista fiasco
they don't deserve to get money with this kind of "product"
