Wow...

What a... thread.

Single clicking would do my head in - what a waste of time reading this topic. By the way, Eggy wooky boy, I actually found YOUR conduct offensive in this thread - the other guy was obviously joking and you jump all over him saying "I'M OFFENDED!"

I think you need to brew a nice strong cup of Chill The Fuck Out.

You could just as easily have read his comment, not dignified it with a reply and waited for someone who AGREES with you about the single clicking. Instead, you got aggro. So yes, you're the one who dug someone else a hole and fell in it.

And yes, I do understand the irony of me not listening to my own advice - I just felt I should call you on yours. *facepalm*

Single clicking IS for morons by the way - as my stepfather used to endlessly berate me: "WHY do you do it the hard way?" when I thought I was doing it the easier way by just grabbing as much shit as I could and trying to dump it somewhere else instead of taking that extra few seconds to organise the stuff into an easy to carry pile and not spilling anything on the way to the other place.

The thread title confused me a bit.;P
So, I'm single, and i doubleclick. ;)

Don't be a fanboy.

I didn't say it didn't evolve from xp, and I didn't say I didn't like it. I called it decent if you recall. I use Windows 7 probably more than I use ubuntu, because I am a gamer, and I used windows systems before I even heard of linux. The timeframe of Windows 7 release is pretty consistent with service pack releases for XP. Technically I'm sure it is quite different than vista, but the difference between vista and 7 is teeny-tiny compared to xp and vista. And yes, the SP7 was a joke. Lighten up!

Nothing I said is FUD. Look up what FUD means please.

Yes, there are solutions to some of Windows' lacking areas, but not as clean or well integrated as the features are in the unix world. And yes, linux has it's own set of failings. Nothing is perfect. I have real issues with trying to use windows for things other than playing a game or light web browsing.

Vista/7 do add some nice features onto XP, but for the most part, it doesn't feel like an OS that was released 10 years later. Do you honestly feel like it reflects well on all of the man-hours that went into it? I expected much more from Vista, and that's not to say it wasn't better in some ways, I just expected a lot more. With 7, I was just glad to have the additions from vista without some of the downsides of that OS (mostly performance related).
