Windows 7 and general bitching about OSes
Spanks:
Saw Windows 7 the store yesterday while I was out, its $450 for the professional version(here). Fuck that.
Never realized OS's were so expensive.
fohfoh:
and no one realizes that XP became a power hog after certain updates? the damn thing uses much more memory than last year. I bet msft did so to get the performance closer to both vista and 7.
Klocknov:
I have been noticing that increased memory usage and also it tends to run higher on the CPU then it use too. XP is being killed by MS so people will upgrade I guess...

If Chrome ever gets adblock plus, I'd switch... Adblock is sent from the gods. It even skips those nasty youtube commercials and removes the ads.
Well, maybe still wouldn't switch if Chrome got something akin to adblock. firefox's plugin selection is amazing and I also use greasemonkey.
