Re: XP: Cool feature with a weakness

Its got nothing to do with XP.

Sure it does: it is how XP is experienced.

Its a feature of the video card's driver. That's why it doesn't affect all
machines the same. All Windows machines don't use the same video card.

No argument here - that is why different XP machines are different in this
area.

It's fun to watch Snit show the depth of his technical knowledge;)

Do you disagree with what I said? If so, Steve, what is your view?

I disagree with the idea the the inconsistency has anything to do with
XP itself. The reason?

It's entirely a function of whether or not there is a particular type of
video card present... a situation that has nothing to do with the OS.

As I note above, Steve, it is part of the experience of using an XP
machine... please note, I did not say it was the fault of the OS. Please,
Steve, try to understand what you read... OK?

You'd have more of a gripe if there were video cards on the market that
had such a feature as this that XP could not access.

Ah, now you are trying to tell me what I would do and how I would feel...
something you whine about a great deal. What a hypocrite you are!

Your real argument here appears to be that they should hide it better.

"Hide it better"? What the heck? Where did you come up with that? My
argument is that a non-admin user should not be able to mess with other
users! That has nothing to do with hiding anything! Really, Steve... do
try to understand what you read. Please!

If they had... and you still found it... you'd probably still have created a
thread over it.

What are you even talking about? Hiding? Finding? Er? Please try to stay
on topic!

I also disagree with your absolute statement that claimed: "it is how XP
is experienced".

Well, it is not consistent...

The reasons for my disagreement with this?

Simple: you will disagree with me at every chance... even if you have to
create BS stories about hiding and finding as you do, above! And yet you
*still* are denying you are consumed by your hatred, aren't you?

Fact: People that don't have the appropriate video card cannot
experience this using XP

Gee, that is why it is not consistent... just as I said. You *did*
understand that it seems! Good for you!

Fact: I cannot experience this using my version of XP under Parallels.

You mean it is *still* inconsistent even after you understood my comment
about it being inconsistent! You are not going to try to claim otherwise to
try to argue with me over it! Wow... wait... you are Steve - even though
you agree with me about it being inconsistent you will *still* try to argue
with me... you are *that* predictable.

Perhaps you should look for a software defeat... video cards that have a
feature like this often have one. Suggestion: If you'd stop making
absolute statements you'll find you won't have people beating you over
the head with reality quite as often as they do.

Absolute statement: you are consumed by your hatred, Steve.

Please... for your own sake: let it go!
