Vista does not give me that choice, so here in lies the problem. Bloat on bloat!
The future, therefore, does not look great, far from it, it looks bleak, very, in an MS kind of way.
Lets all look forward to WinME 3, after all, we have had versions 1 & 2.
I hate sweeping statements. What are you referring exactly when you say bloat on bloat ?
If there is one thing that was bloat on bloat, that was only XP. Bloat on the same 15 year old routines. Vista is trying to change all this, and that is a big challenge believe me and at the same time maintaing backward compatability. It's like version 1.0 in all senses. It's obviously not perfect, no version 1.0 ever was.
Windows presentation foundation ? At long last! Finally we don't have to rely on the same cranky code of user32.dll and GDI/GDI+ patch OS that XP was. Now if you have no idea what I'm talking about it's not my problem.....

The Windows Presentation Foundation (or WPF), formerly code-named Avalon is also available for installation on Windows XP SP2, should you require that amount of added bloat...........Now, I personally don't give a toss what your talking about, as that also ain't my problem.

heres a guy keeping an eye on 7: http://windows7news.com/2008/05/12/windows...video/#comments
I'm quoting:
"Not just fake. Fake, fake, fake. Really fake. Obviously fake. Stupidly fake. The "screen capture" part shows off SnagIt, a third party application I use nearly every single day. This is "didn't even try hard" fake.
So please don't email me about it. But please do feel free to ridicule and/or ignore those who weren't savvy enough to figure it out.
Moving on...."
I'm not the only one who thinks it's fake

.NET 2.0 is great for programming apps at 96dpi. Once you change that, go and say a prayer. It's obviosly more mature than WPF. I'm still learning the nuts and bolts of WPF and from what I see I think it's still a work in progress.
