I wonder if Radish? will follow suite.
Even if you give a free copy of 7, Radish? will never swap lol. He most not, he is the "XP Luna mascot" ;)l ;)

He's the only one that still makes stock Luna looks nicely.

Seriously, Radish? may for the first time use a theme if there is a port of Luna for 7 lol...

Radish? will eventually make the switch (without resorting to a Luna theme for 7) I'd think. The real hardcore XP holdout on Neowin is Coli:puk. :p

@Mephistopheles: Well, after you posted that question I took a look out the window. Hell indeed has frozen over. I see minions throwing hot water over the ice like crazy, but it doesn't seem to work. Earlier today someone threw gasoline on it and fired that off. Nothing much happened, only a layer of water which had froze instantly. No idea what's going on here, but you can expect me skating on the ice later on today. Maybe I'll make a hole in the ice and try some fishing. Tell me, does hell have fish?

@LOLING: I wouldn't be expecting that. The Windows 7 Aero theme is really nice imo. I don't have the urge to create my own visual style and I don't see me getting that any time soon either.

@NienorGT: If my memory servers me right, when Radish™ and I talked on WLM about getting Windows 7, he told me he'd hide his Windows XP CD's from the Windows 7 Police. He'd also make a dual boot setup just so that the Windows 7 police would believe him if he told them that Windows 7 had become his main OS. Curious to see how he'll act against the Windows 7 police. All I know is that he's going to do everything to be able to use Windows XP as long as time will serve him.

The ever lovely Louise Cliffe.

If you want the desktop, please PM me, I can't remember where I found it. :)

Think it's from here, saw it a couple of days ago.

wallpaper?

This is for everyone that asks for the wallpaper.

Give This A Try...

You can right click on any posted desktop snap shot here, click on "Properties" to find the url of the photo and copy that to the clipboard, go to TinEye and paste the URL to be searched. Give it a shot! It doesn't work 100% of the time but it has worked on two images I tested from here already and suspect it'll work on many more.

    • Windows 11's big performance boost is finally available for all

      By ikjadoon · Posted

      It is silly there is no simple way to check whether this profile has been activated. CFRs are normal, but trying to even hide the fact if it's on / off seems silly, especially for something so user-facing. Surely Microsoft is "proud" of their engineering efforts on this one and ought to display it somwhere in the GUI.

      Many Linux distros are not known for excellent battery life, so I'm not sure that is the best example. A more apt example may be Apple, but Apple's CPUs are simply far more efficient than Intel & AMD at single-threaded tasks like these, so "boosting" is not as power-hungry and less heat-inducing. Not to mention Apple will hardly engage P-cores for basic UI tasks; they use a pretty complicated QoS scheme to only activate P-cores for more serious workloads like HTML / JS execution or decompression or application launch. Microsoft is (smartly) doing it for launch, but also for UI tasks, which is the more nonsensical part: why ... do Windows 11's UIs need modern CPUs to boost? It should load so quickly that there's not even time for the CPU to boost.

      I've not seen any controlled testing and, judging by Microsoft's mentality, within a year, they'll have added so much more bloat, it'll undo any perceptible latency benefit and we'll have boosted the CPU clocks for nothing.

      It depends: heat soak is a thing. Initially on cold boot-up, the heatsinks & heatpipes are at ambient temp. After heatsinks & heatpipes warm up (through normal usage), they don't immediately cool to ambient temp when the load goes away. So their baseline is higher and the trigger point for fans is much less stress. Add a few more CPU spikes → it's too hot to stay at the same fan RPM → fans get triggered to start up up much sooner / get triggered to ramp much more quickly.
    • Euro-Office must default to ODF to be considered "genuinely European", LibreOffice argues

      By Danielx64 · Posted

      Can LibreOffice just shut up and worry about themselves and stop comparing themselves? Do we see Microsoft complaining about euro office?
