i tried 1337x on Vista .. only did 1054 tough :x

Ps .. the Word one doesn't count as it uses an shared subsystem .. doesn't (really) matter how many you open...

(Again .. MS Office 2007 ftw ^^)

Notepad.exe sucks tough haha.

ps .. this is really useless @ 3:41AM haha

Anyway I gave it a shot.

Expose didnt work :(

It would have been awesome to see this in Spaces with Expose, but none of it worked, damn GMA950.

For some reason my macbook will NEVER use more then 1.5gb RAM... I have 2gb total and ALWAYS 500gb is either free or inactive, with all that stuff running, that normal? :huh:

very nice, my vista crashes (right click stops working, cant open folders, etc) when i open 30 IE tabs

Crashes for 30 tabs on IE :|

lol, I run about 4 Safari windows with about 15-20 tabs on each (one window on each space, for different purposes) and I will get ****ed off if it happens to crash after about 9 days uptime (it has crash like this once :( )

Guys seriously, this is the Mac discussion, make your own thread :D

Seriously, if you didn't want people trying this on other OS's, you shouldn't have baited Windows/Linux users in the thread title.

Speaking of which, I'm not sure how the Windows taskbar would handle such a preposterous number of windows. Running this number of applications is not really a good benchmark of OS performance seeing as how it's so far out of the realm of standard use cases. There are no real world scenarios where a Mac OS X user would want 1000+ windows open. That being said, it is impressive that the underlying memory management and GUI subsystems are robust enough to handle this meany open applications.

XP and Vista group multiple windows from the same app by default if you have too many windows making it an Leopard stack-like presentation (just not flow-ey and stuff)

I know, but then it pops out a menu...with 1000 items..., i'm just not sure how it would handle it that's all. Tell you what though, I have more faith in Vista being able to do it than XP, that's for sure. The DWM is a lot more robust than the GDI engine.

Can someone tell me how to/or make a script/automation that will open 10,000 textedit windows? Wana try it on this Mac Pro :D

I already posted one back on page 1 which everyone seemed to miss and do this tedious task the hard way. Being able to start 1000 processes by pressing 1000 keys is something even the first computers could do :sleep:

1) I wasnt baiting, I was stating a fact

2) It's not a benchmark, it's boredum, if I really wanted to I could have made a really simple app that does nothing in XCODE and opened that 1million times

Sorry to revivie such an ancient thread people, but now that I have a PC I'd like to mess around a bit and build a script that'll open 10,000 Notepad files, I've got 8GB of RAM, so why not.

However if I'm to build a simple batch script like:

cd C:\Windows\
notepad.exe
notepad.exe
notepad.exe

It'll only open one instance at a time, anyone know of a way around this?

      All these CEOs got the biggest boners thinking about firing employees for AI. Turned out it was just a wet dream.

      And the fact that the majority of people from Poland are white European Christians while the people you are complaining about in post after post are not is just a coincidence... Every sentence in your post I am replying to is racist nonsense. None of it is actually based on any facts whatsoever. All immigrants are seeking a better life too. It's literally the only reason they would risk everything and leave their homes, families, and homeland. They are working and contributing to the economy too, as you even admit. They get the same benefits your partner did AND that YOU are eligible for as well. That is one of the key things of the EU and a mark of a civilization. That is the definition of a society where everyone is given a chance, treated equally and fairly, and is judged by the content of their character, not their different skin color or which version of ignorant superstitious nonsense their parents lied about as children. Racists around the world said the same things about the Irish and Jews and Poles (like your partner) and...every other immigrant movement over the centuries. What's your family's heritage, by the way? Were your ancestors lied about with racist fearmongering crapola by self-entitled locals the same way as you are now? If someone like that said the same things about all people from Poland, like your partner, would they be right? Or would you want them to judge your partner based on who they actually were, not where they just happened to come from?

      Again, this is an irrelevant attempt to attack the messenger. The truth does not require any justification.
