Random chat thread.

[Trash]

A thread for the 3 of us or whatever to randomly chat about random things.
Anyway, I decided to clean up my desktop because I am running out of space. Usually its neat but I've been so busy lately that I just let stuff pile up.

Takes me back to the days of working on Windows 95 and 98 computers. People used to seem proud of collecting icons on their desktop back then. I've always been a minimalist, and I was so happy Windows 7 and 8 let you hide icons entirely.

Also, hi. I have a cunning plan. Meet me at camera three... or the other thread we were just in. We can still talk about random stuff here but I figured e-fed stuff can go in that thread.

Windows 8?




Windows 8 is an absolute disaster. I have to use it on my laptops and I can't stand it. 7 is probably the best windows so far, the most refined, and smoothest running, so I am probably going to use it until they force me to switch over. I'd still be running XP if it weren't for the fact that I needed a 64 bit OS to take advantage of my ram when I upgraded my computer - so I got a copy of 7 Pro from college.

And here is my desktop cleaned!

Windows XP comes in an x64 variety. I haven't had a problem with Windows 8, I found it slightly smoother than 7, though 7 itself is perfectly good. 8's Start Screen is an awful mess, of course, but that can be dealt with via a simple utility.

Tbh, I utilize windows 8 just like a Windows 7 spawn. I dont think I've ever used the start screen. I simply log in and click desktop and voila Windows 7.

There are a handful of differences. It copies files faster, for one thing. Nothing major, though, it is very similar to 7.
