Hey I like the new Windows quite a bit.

Though I promptly replaced it with Linux, but I like the new Windows. I think I do anyway, I’m forgetting what it was like.

Oh well.

OK... Enjoy. I personally have seen absolutely no improvements in system useage in any of the recent 'doze releases whatsoever. If anything, I have seen consistant reduction in performance, more memory demands and hard drive space requirements, and more susceptibility to virus and malware infestation.

The most I see people claim is they like the interface better.

I can list hundreds of 'nix options, GUIs, and OS's that will change the user interface at the drop of a hat, and require no greater demands upon any particular system than it originally was designed for with nothing but added performance gained with the addition of optional hardware.

No MS 'latest' version has ever touted less system demands, increased speed, or greater performance as a result of purchasing and attempting to install it.

Speaking of which: the default standard for most 'doze software is: you opened the package, you can not return it. Note that I specifically did not state that you 'own' it, as the fine print in the 'User Agreement' is that the software is still owned by the OEM regardless of how, when, or how much you paid some other entity for it.

It becomes semi-tolerable once Cygwin goes on and I fire up a few xterms. I can then (mostly) forget that 'doze is the foundation. But for me, Windows is just a curiosity piece on my dual boot system. If there's a must-have app that hasn't been ported, I just run it on a virtual machine under Fedora, now at 20 (Heisenbug).
