It uses dual-view (i.e. two monitors in a shared yet "separate" desktop), that's why it looks like I tacked another one on.

EDIT: And I hate people that bash Vista for no reason. Strangely enough, people that do that tend to know nothing about the OS other than "evil DRM" and "no drivers!"

Of course there are usually icons.

For some odd reason 3gb memory and a dual-core AMD just don't cut it with all the fancy stuff turned on. Probably need a reformat. All the other Vista machines in house work great.

I wouldn't upgrade to it, but I got a new laptop a few months ago with it installed. After reading so many comments bitching about how it sucks I was expecting it to be total shit, but it's actually fine. Slightly different then XP but you get used to all the changes.

Not the fastest OS in the world but it sure is pretty</end quote></div>

Damn you should have kept using XP and used the $$ you spent on Vista on a bigger monitor :D</end quote></div>

I resized the picture, and BTW the new notebook with Vista Ultimate and Office Ultimate was a freebie for winning a sales contest :D

CKENT = owned.

I have that picture on my external... it's made its way around 4chan a couple times. I could find it and put it up if you really want to see it.

EDIT: Of course not posting the link itself here :p.

EDIT 2:

I used it about 2 years ago, but it took too much of my processor then.

I used to use an application like that. But the thing is, I have a powerful PC, so what do I care how much of the resources are being used :eek:.

You should've asked me last week, before I reformatted and put XP Pro SP2 back in.

I use it on WinXP, I think they recently updated it to work with vista as well. I made a simple little config that sits in my taskbar so it's always visible and now I can't live without it.

Same here. I use Samurize configs(usually have two going) on all my XP boxes and haven't noticed the processor use - ever.

Nice Vista desktops, BTW.
