didn't vista have more aggressive power management and it would kill applications that prevented the computer from sleeping?

then microsoft wimped out in 7 and let application developers hang the system indefinitely?

any time ms has a good idea these days they always roll it back after one version because bad devs complain about not being able to do whatever the gently caress they want

reading "the old new thing" makes me marvel that windows works as well as it does in the face of 9 million lovely developers

the way they locked down mobile broadband in windows 8 so that the OS handled everything was a good idea. at the time i worked for a company that made connection managers and they were so mad and confused that microsoft wouldn't give them access to the hardware. i wouldn't be surprised if ms backed off of that for windows 910 except who bothers paying for a wwan card for their laptop anymore

that specific example is really dumb but the fact that nobody at that company could comprehend the concept of a restricted API explains a lot

windows vista had the round start button, which was a good start (heh) but, imo, the taskbar is when things really took off.

the sickest sig is probably the one that displays a live feed from #yospos as a gif

i don't want to read any of that poo poo, but it's impressive
