  1. Apple made a study and came to the conclusion that Working touch only on PCs is an ergonomic disaster.

    a study is needed to conclude this ? ... oh my whatever...

    one can do it by simply raising hands and holding them for 20 seconds

  2. I don't like it simply because they ruined the concept of serious OS

    if we go back to Whistler, many disliked that next version (XP) would look so painted and ugly

    and naturally Vista followed

    I greet skinning with open arms, and think that OS should indeed look more nicer than just plain old gray flat panel look

    but there should be line drawn to what is serious and efficient

    now comes 8 that turns workstation into child playground

    seriously Metro is beginning of crapiness

    this move doesn't make user focus on OS and/or how to use it but to most lazy ineffective cluttered UI to which even biggest id*** will praise but still

    because its Windows OS that will need HUGE maintainance and thus such user will complain for various stuff as it always goes with windows os...

    now many complain how start menu is crap and how this start screen is sooo much better

    well who says that start menu's function was even that of start screen in 1st place ?

    AFAIK and this goes since 95 era, start menu always showed all installed programs and additional features (accesability, system tools, networking etc...)

    start screen does not

    and what is even worse its ran upon IE which makes IE again needed to be in core of OS

    the next thing they brag about is faster search... doh there were great and better alternatives to this since ~2005

    take UltraSearch for example, it reads directly from MFT - no need for databases or indexing or whatnot...

    and manipulates with files like you do from within File manager aka Explorer

    to me that they make Tablet UI OS for desktop is ridiculous, as much as I hate to say "apple got it right", but they did

    Desktop workstation and Tablet deserve separate OS-es, or atleast same OS core with UI that is made for specifically desktop or tablet

    now with all this web social bull s*** integrated, the OS concept goes even more worse...

    I just couldn't believe when Ballmer on last conference sold all that crap to people how all people he knows are now so "close to him"

    how virtual life and life are same

    I mean c'mon...

    sure technology and OS-es need to evolve but this is not the way...

    instead to patch NT holes they have they focus on... well I won't even describe it :P

  3. OS can't complete mine because it can't detect what CPU I have

    hilarious since CPU-Z and Everest can

    also I find it quite dumb that it takes Final score based on worst calculation, you can have everything of 5.0 score and 1 thing of 1.0

    and it will score you 1.0

  4. story goes

    my win7 dvd is rt7lite-d, thus it does not have recovery options on it

    now since I read that winre.wim is working(?) with that recovery thing on OS DVD, then I have no use of it on my hard drive

    so question is can I then delete it or windows loads this file in normal mode too ?

  5. new Hardware and drivers will force people to switch

    year ago I swore I'd stay on XP long after its extended support ends... behold the irony, I'm on "7" now

    reason: newer Hardware that XP sucked with + GDI object limitations problems it has and were never fixed

  6. problem is in custom skin/visual theme that you use

    from image, I would say who ever made it, either made upper window frame higher so buttons don't align anymore

    or simply screwed up the positions of buttons only

    maybe I'm wrong...

    is this system wide bug or only on that setup/installer ?

  7. not all are scam, but I personally avoid hyped products and stick with one I know for longest time (I won't advertise which is it)

    enough to say is, from XP to "7", it never missed anything and it isn't bloatware, been sticking with same product for ~5 years now

    use your product with HOSTS file, properly configured Firewall and a good browser that has popup/scam blocker

  8. well for repair it has sense to junk pile backup msi's

    but for uninstall only purpose either cfg or ini files to me are more logical

    you'd had maybe 5 MB big file with a list :P

  9. that bites

    I thought by now Windoze keeps install settings and file locations in ini file(s)

    btw thanks for answers

  10. these take rougly ~270 MB

    and me having small hard drive, I hate to waste it on useless things

    so do these have any significance or I can just delete them ?

  11. Its removed already is this nlited version I use

    its still better to replace it since Explorer will still be searching for it, in your case it won't find it, but is still linked to it...

    when replaced with dud, it will find it, but as dud's nature is, will unload it/self instantly :P

    you can alternatively hit ctrl+alt+del too see if anything else eats CPU time while your Explorer is lagging

    Offtopic:

    I even wonder would same thing help windows 7 too

    as I see same file in sys32 and loading thumbnails on any file lags Explorer too :P (tho not that much as on XP)
