That was my point yes. However let me beg to differ on the last phrase.

Vista altered the perception of the underlying operating system. It may have remained the same (and it did, since much of...

If there is no clear reason to switch operating systems... one shouldn't change operating systems. It seems obvious, at least to me, that without proper necessity or without being urged by curiosity...

That worried me too. The general advise here was Ubuntu. But I wanted to explore my options a little more. So I decided to read about it over the web and reserve 1 day on the web to better understand...

Well, I'm on someone else's shoes. I'm trying Linux for the first time after 10 years of absence (when I did try it for a period of a little over a month). Did it the day before yesterday.

Today...

No one believes in you. It's what you say and the way you say it that betrays the fact you are lying. You couldn't even answer my question and couldn't even specify which books you consider REAL...

A place where I always found CLI to be superior to GUI is debugging. After some training I could always be more effective, gather more information, and generally better debug my C++ code under gdb...

Anyway, I settled for VeryPDF. $10 cheaper, fully featured, simple clean interface. During the 2 day trial I didn't have to squint at my screen, browse through to find how to do something or fight...

Almost, but not quite, entirely unlike tea.
And now that you mention it, Vista is probably our first attempt at the Nutri-Matic. I can see it being owned by Microsoft.

Yes. But I would really love to know the opinion of this someone who bought "a real book".

Please explain how disliking "shiny" GUIS is moving backwards.

AloneInTheDark probably hardly skimmed the article, if he did that at all. Only way I can understand that... post of his.

I'll comment on this though:


Should I say, YOU get a book? How about...

I believe that has been the problem with many people, yes. A shame really because I do agree Aero looks nice.

I couldn't agree more with that article on some aspects (not all). Familiarity is...

Yes, but you may as well the the minority here. Sorry 'bout that.

Touché!

That is odd. I have learned no such thing. However I took my degree when Windows was in version 3.1. So I can see you having learned different things.

The thing about universities was better...

Sorry, Vart. Skipped your post and I think it deserved an answer. Thanks for having taken a look at it.

And to add to all you said, lets not forget this application can be seen as an advanced...

The question is how reliable those studies are. Because quite frankly I deal with casual users everyday at home, work, and socially, and never even once saw or heard anyone complaining when using my...

For one. I already named them; resources, aesthetics, usability,... But mostly, I simply don't like fluff. I can't put it any more simpler than that. I always liked my applications simple, efficient...

I swear, if you say it is pretty again I'm gonna smack you. ;)

You are indeed just a tad bit off the target. The issue is not about some people liking it, other not. The issue is about you not...

Will anyone mention usability?
I thought we were a programmers forum... just asking.

EDIT: Ah! Kennedy just did. Thank you.

Thanks for the info, citizen. What I also need is a good fat book that helps me with the transition.

Many years ago I had a S.U.S.E. distro, while they were still a german company and SUSE was in...

hellu, this is rashmna abetaziir huw may i helhp you?

Sent Nitro PDF an email thanking them for the opportunity to try out their product and stating why I wouldn't ever buy it. Suggested also they use skinable interfaces if they want to provide users...

Absolutely. It's just incredible how you are forced to change your habits every 5 years because the company said so. They try to develop, they say, user friendliness. But then force you to relearn...

I can't find anywhere on these applications where I can turn this thing off. Running in classic mode with the Themes service disabled simply doesn't do a thing to it. I feel trapped. These things...
