I think I am going to shoot myself if I see anymore Windows Aero.

Everyone has the right to show their desktop screenshot on the October 2007 DESKTOP! thread. So don't threaten us with saying you'll shoot yourself :p Anyway here's my laptop screenshot:

Considering there aren't that many themes for Windows Vista, I can't really blame them. What do you want them to do then? Most people were posting the familiar blue, silver and green XP theme for a long time in the years after XP was release. Only when Royale came along and programs by Stardock and ThemeXP was available that customisation became something that was possible on XP.

Anyway, this is the October Desktop thread and I haven't seen any notice where it states "Do not post your boring Vista desks". So, I believe that is the end of this argument, which I think is a stupid thing to bring up given the evidence available at the moment but if you find this offending, I apologise but it does not change what I've said.

Was never an arguement, just an opinion, there are other choices.

I bet most of us don't give a ratass for your opinion.. If people wanna use aero, let them, it's not up to you to decide that. People have waited for Vista and the Aero themes for a long time, so why would they mod it away with something you basicly could have in XP too?

Yes, like sticking with Windows XP :laugh: ! Seriously though, there aren't that many that are interested in customising their desktop beyond changing their wallpaper. It is a matter of choice, and we have no say in what they like ;) .

Whats a Ratass? :laugh: Hey I'm not deciding anything for anyone, If people want to use it, by all means do, still uglier than sin in my book and people that are unaware should know that there are alternatives.

Regardless, I could care less what you think about my opinion, besides what you gettin so defensive for?

      Sounds like the debloated build you are running is missing some components that the Photos app and Snipping Tool rely on.

      Apparently, Microsoft doesn't use water in their taps, washrooms or clean their facility. /sarc

      Wow, throwback.  VERY VERY briefly - but realised that it wasn't the language I needed for the tasks I was taking on.
    • Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack

      Apple and Tesla trade secrets reportedly exposed following a Tata Electronics cyberattack by Hamid Ganji Image via Depositphotos.com Tata Electronics has confirmed that it detected a cybersecurity incident in some of its systems. The Indian company is a manufacturing partner of both Apple and Tesla, and the incident may have exposed some trade secrets belonging to the two American companies. The World Leaks ransomware group is said to be behind the attack, and it has reportedly posted up to 200,000 files on the dark web, including component designs and specification documents related to Apple and Tesla products. Tata Electronics told Reuters that its response protocols were deployed immediately and that the “incident has had no impact on our operations across businesses, which remain unaffected.” The ransomware group reportedly sent a ransom demand to Tata Electronics, while Apple has launched an investigation into the incident. World Leaks claims it stole more than 200,000 files totaling over 630GB from Tata Electronics. Some database files on the ransomware group’s website are titled "com.apple.factorydata," which could refer to Apple’s iPhone production operations in India. Moreover, some documents reportedly contain material specifications and quality inspection standards for iPhone circuit board components. However, Apple is not the only affected company. A folder found in the World Leaks database is titled "NV36 Chargeport Controller - North America," which may refer to Tesla Model Y components. Additionally, other files in the database reportedly contain drawings related to Tesla’s Project Highland, the internal codename for the EV maker’s updated Model 3 sedan. To support the authenticity of the stolen files, World Leaks has published documents containing footers that read: "This document contains proprietary and confidential information of Apple Inc." and "information contained herein is deemed confidential, proprietary, and a trade secret of Tesla Inc." Cybersecurity researcher Rajshekhar Rajaharia told Reuters that the database also contains emails, event logs spanning several years, and passport copies of employees, including foreign nationals. Both Tesla and Apple have declined to comment on the scale of the incident.
