Worse is an understatment, the classic theme in Vista looks horrible. The
new Vista parts of the interface clash with the old look and many parts
don't even line up or fit properly. Text gets cut off, icons are jammed up
into corners way out of their proper position, and many dialogs are solid
white instead of gray. The whole thing looks like an amateur skinners
unfinished attempt to make a classic theme for Windowblinds. It really is
terrible and it doesn't look like they care so it will probably stay that
way.

I know what you mean. I hate how the files and folders light up when you
hover your mouse over them, makes it very hard at least for me to work with
it. Files should ONLY be highlighted when they are selected, this is a
terrible design decision. Then there are all the legacy folders that aren't
really folders but junctions that point to the real folders. Supposedly it's
for backwards compatibility with XP but in reality it just makes for a big
confusing mess. Don't even get me started on the junctions that point back
to themselves so they just go on forever.

"..here are the four faces of Vista's start menu"
By h3rman (2.35) on 2006-09-23 20:00:22 UTC
They call it eye candy and most I can see is black. They release it in the
winter, people might get depressed.
New Start-button looks exactly like one of those ugly Feather Linux icons.
Who designed this stuff?? I thought they had some money at Redmond. I guess
Stylish Steve drew it all by himself.

Well, it's all about what's under the hood...

Why are you forcing yourself to use it?

 

[Intel Inside]

"holy cow"
If you consider cows 'holy', are you Indian?

 

[Kerry Brown]

If you don't like it don't use it. There are alternatives.

 

[Guest]

I switched over to "Classic" and didn't experience the issues you described.
Without more details it is hard to know. Can you post more screenshots?

 

[MICHAEL]

Lawd have mercy, keep shilling the same old tired line.

Just because some offer criticism- even harsh criticism-
doesn't mean they don't want to use Vista.

It's the same simple minded mentality of,
"Your either with us, or against us."

[Kerry Brown]

The OP wasn't asking a question, making suggestions about how to do things
better, but merely stating they don't like Vista and some other people
agree. My comment was valid in that context. If you don't like something
don't use it. There are alternatives.

Constructive criticism is great, but there was none in the original post,
only a rant.

 

[William Topping]

I like the classic. In fact, im using it now...

Ha ha ha! Stupid mazochist! Lol

 

[John Jay Smith]

yeah... see what I go through so I can be ready to help all in need?

..... and to imagine there are thousands of IT users who think XP is bloated
and still use win2k...

I wonder what they will say when they install vista....

 

[SAM-R]

What bloat? I've been running Home Basic for a long time now and I just
don't see it.

 

[vista]

well google for "xp bloat"....

if it did not exist you would get zero results.

hmm... blue bananas do not exist yet if you google it you get thousands of
results. ;-)

 

[Bill Frisbee]

John Jay Smith,

Anyone notice people with three name names are always mass muderers or
totally nutters?

 

[John Jay Smith]

results. ;-)

See what you get when you are ignorant?

Guatemalan Blue Banana Squash
Pale blue fruits are 16-20" long, 6" in diameter and weigh 5-8 pounds.
Thick, firm flesh, very good keeper. We like to keep this one in the
refrigerator after the initial cutting and continue to slice off
microwavable rings. Performs well even in dry conditions. 90-95 days.

[John Jay Smith]

Yeah, like George Walker Bush.... you hit that right on target....

mass muderers or totally nutters

YEEEPPPP.... you are right I would say both!


JJS is not my real name of course

Its a squash. Not a banana

 

[John Jay Smith]

Do you have an understanding about perception? If there was an isolated
island where they had only blue squash bananas, for them those would be the
real bananas, and if you showed them a yellow one they would laugh.

In reality bananas can be green or orange, or even brown too, so the image
you have in your mind of a yellow
banana is very limited, a stereotype. Blue bananas exist.. it just does not
fit the mental image you have.
You want to categorize it with your own standards, but as you can see they
are not complete.
Furthermore if there was a reason to, with dna changes you could create a
banana tree that would produce blue bananas... hey, they have make pigs that
glow in the dark.. you think that this is imposible?

As with vista I look at it through great understanding with depth of thought
and comprehension.. not some
crazy desire to call it trash.
