    I feel ashamed...yet oddly happy too

    So, I was using vista for a while on my laptop the other day...and I realized that I like the graphics...but I hate the OS. SOOO....I decided that my computer needed some spicing up.

    Sorry for all yous that don't have a decent Res...native is 1440x900

    That is a cr@p load of stuff in your system tray

    I recently canned Vista and went back to XP as well. My only complaint with XP is that Vista's Solitaire was much nicer. You wouldn't happen to know where I could find a more "vista" like solitaire for XP would you? There is apparently a hack that gets some of the vista beta versions of solitaire working on XP, but from the lack of information it wouldn't appear that it doesn't work with the solitaire game that's in the release version of vista.

    I'll list what's in my tray from left to right:

    Vista Sidebar; Windows Update; Pidgin Portable; ATI Graphics; Remove USB Devices; Thunderbird Portable; PortableApps Menu; Skype; EMIII Monitor; EMIII program (Both are for monitoring F@H Consoles); AVG; APC UPS monitor; Process Explorer; ATITool; Vista Tooltip; Network Connection; WindowsBlinds.

    And I ran across a few game links in my search, but none of them seemed worthwhile. But I will agree, solitaire on vista is better.

    As Acru said, you got cr@p load of stuff!!

    Now there is a valid reason to upgrade to Vista!!

    LMAO!! I may have a lot of stuff, but most of it is hidden most of time time, and I use all of it. I'm just a busy person. Besides, I have a computer that can handle it so it's not that big of a deal

    DX10 is Overrated. There is still minimal support for it and I haven't found many games that use it.

    Personally I couldn't care less about solitaire, but my "boss" likes vista's version if you know what I mean.
