20 worst Windoze features of all time (PC World)

[DarkSentinel]

I'm the same, DS.

I make Visual Pinball tables, but first I model and render the graphics
for them in trueSpace 7.11. I make large master renders, then HUGE
(150-200meg) .psd files with many layers to create sprite like animations
for the lights and other objects.

I also capture videos of the tables and have created and maintain my own
web site, which stream the videos, on demand. The videos are sharp and
captured with a good frame rate, and they were done from within Vista.
That means there was an Emulator for the pinball machine running, AND the
Visual Pinball program itself, AND the capture program, saving
uncompressed video to my hard rive to the tune of 1 gig a minute, without
so much as a hiccup. I later compress them with Divx (and that happens
quickly as well).

I have no problems doing these things in Vista, and I might add, they run
better in Vista then they did in XP. I used to occasionally have to stop
what I was doing when my ram usage got too high in XP, and reboot, to get
my performance back. I haven't yet had to do this in Vista. I know by
experience that Vista handles memory MUCH better then XP ever did.

I have gigs of ram, and a dual core 1.8 ghz processor, NVidia 6600gt video
card and Vista Home Premium.

People just have to have something to bitch about. Like all the OS's that
came before it, it just needs to be tweaked. But there are those that don't
want to spend the time to do it, then bitch and moan that Vista sucks. Linux
is a stone cold bitch to tweak, but once you get it right, it's a great OS.
Me, I tweak my stuff until it screams uncle...lol

If more people actually did that, than gripe, they would see a big
difference
