Guys, you forget one thing: windows xp themes system is a bad copy of stardock's windowblinds v3+ .... windowblinds5 already does what vista will do but using less resources than vista will require... so please don;t be stupid. .... Anyway, until vista will be out maybe a few more of you willl get a mac and spit on windows... IT SUCKS!

Well, it must be incredibly difficult to make a smooth skin for Windowblinds judging by all of the bulky, uninspired/bland (meaning lack of color or bad use of color...and bulky Vista clones with authors who refuse to allow thin taskbars :rolleyes: ), and rough-edged themes available for it. I'm not that hyped about WB5 (it just makes the titlebar and taskbar difficult to see, not to mention all of the complications with games and apps making me have to go through trouble to disable themes after fighting with an app that hates WB5.....). But, if EM3 later decides to move over to it, and the theme looks professional like it does now, I'll switch. ;)

RaisedFist, WB3 was not a bad "copy" of Windows XP themes; it was a bulky, bloated, and third party app that allowed limited use of bitmaps on the GUI of previous copies of Windows. It never compared to the ease of use and compatibility in using Windows XP VSs that I experienced (I went from Win2000+WB to WinXP...there was a difference). I'm sure WB5 and Vista will be quite different as well. I do agree, though, if it becomes less expensive to own a MAC (or a get a laptop), I'll probably switch...

    • I have not verified if any of the fixes mentioned on the below article actually work. Why Claude Code Eats All Your RAM (And How to Fix It) There are at least four separate things that can eat your RAM, and only one of them is your fault. The Four Culprits 1. Bloated Session Logs (The Silent Killer). For 2-4 and more inluding the suggested fixes, see link https://marceloretana.com/blog...aude-code-eats-all-your-ram
    • One of my PC's is Windows 11 Home Edition... and guess what? it supports Hyper-V Disks and Containers, as well as WSL2... which these desktop tools leverage on an as-needed basis. It does not need to be enabled system-wide; it merely needs to exist. Furthermore, I tried something yesterday with Hermes Desktop and their "installer" actually builds everything from source as part of its installer toolchain! The installer (and updater as it were) both go through a roughly 19-step process to prep the system for the tool to be used -- and connectivity to local/remote models, local/remote agent configs, and other steps are not included as part of this process (those are all user config steps post-install). ALSO, the "bug wasn't confirmed to exist" is the weakest argument against a bug. That's literally every flawed product's knee-jerk reaction! Even politicians, lawmakers, murderers, and other violent criminals start with that defense... "I deny everything I'm accused of." The bug is the (shared) experience. Whether it's truly Claude Code's fault, or user error, or some other software package being the ultimate culprit, is not the point. They are experiencing unpleasant side effects and don't like that.
    • Each generaton has its exciting times and I was fortunate enough to be right there at the beginning of the PC industry.   I don't think any of us at that time realized how large it would become I still remember working on a TRS-80 with a green screen monitor that kept overheating and dying.     Also used some TRS-80 PCs with tape cartridge memory.   They worked but boy were they slow with everything being a very slow sequential read or write.  But heh, they worked though it wasn't long before they were repaced by the HDD. 
    • One Drive should be a four letter word. First thing I disable on my computer. If I want to upload something to the cloud, I use a cloud base storage, NOT microsoft. Oh but what about backup. I have done backups since floppy disk eras...it just comes naturally.
    • It does just not OneCloud. 🤷🏻‍♂️
