All Things Microsoft > Microsoft Software
Longhorn Build 4015
Faust:
1 Beta code is always buggy, don't make up your mind until you see the final release.
2 FFS, link to images, some of us pay money for downloads. People are also intelligent enough to realize that a link claiming to lead to a shot of a windows crash will usually do that and don't need it shoved in their faces.
3 Wow, MS has made their desktop just like my Windows desktop was (just a recycle bin - everything else got at through the start bar.) I am *so* going to sue MS for taking my "only the recycle bin on the desktop" concept.
4 "No judge, we can't let X windows emulation software run on our OS because we integrated our graphics and now we can't get the darn thing out!"
5 Oh goody, what a lovely way to try and shut down any impending "browser wars" Bill you fucked up sack of shit.
Faust:
6 Aren't there security risks involved with making the shell the web browser?
7 The dude on a windows site uses png images???

As for the recycle icon, it's like that by default with Windows XP--"My Computer", "My Documents", and "Network Neighborhood" are hidden because people rarely use them.

If they claim that "My Documents" is rarely used WTH is it there in the first place, and why can't you remove it? And BTW, I thought it was the "more friendly" "My Network Places". Gee, is M$ just now realizing that the Desktop is practically useless? Is it somehow more convenient to scroll through a menu made overly large from needlessly long filenames and full of usless icons; rather than to fill the screen with meaningless and useless icons that are difficult to access? The best way to cater to people that are too lazy to organize things is to auto organize in an unorganized fashion?
Personally I feel that it's MY computer, not Microsoft's, so I've removed any reference to "My[space][anything]".

Hrmph. You can easily remove that stuff. The icons are removed by default (suprise!), and you can easily remove/change the name of My Documents.
I don't understand why you're so angry about it. If you don't like it, install something different.
I mean, the last time I was as angry as you are right now, I was fighting off an alien invasion.
