look vista aint all that bad, if you can run it.
The thing that irks me the most is the fact that windows explorer uses 4,00K of memory on xp but a WHOPPING 40,000 on vista. I cant wait for cairo desktop to come out. well i can, but it looks cool. It is pretty much a new os, but it's just a shell replacement for vista. It has a community of trusted testers. The only other decent looking one I have seen is litestep. But it looks like crappy kde. So I wouldn't use it. Is it possible to use the KDE window manager in vista? I downloaded KDE for vista a long time ago but I still have no clue what it does. |

whoa. So i tried setting kde as the shell and when I restarted it was just a blank screen. But to my suprise ctrl alt delete worked. So I close all kde stuff and open the windows components. I then fixed the regestry and now Im doing everything by switching through services in the task manager and opening them there.
