Butters, for the love of God, fuck off somewhere where someone gives a shit what you think.

Oh, I forgot...

OK just saw the link above. Cheers.

BTW I've got a great tip for increasing your web page space and getting rid of that annoying hang time on your browser, put Flutterby on ignore, I've been doing that for a while now and I've got to say the quality of my internet experience has improved dramatically.

System Requirements

Windows Developer Preview works great on the same hardware that powers Windows Vista and Windows 7:

• 1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
• 1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)
• 16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)
• DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
• Taking advantage of touch input requires a screen that supports multi-touch

If you have a spare PC and want to give it a bash, PM me and I'll send you the link (there are 32- and 64-bit versions, 3.6Gb and 2.8Gb respectively).

Must be taking a bit of a pasting, I've been downloading it since this morning and it's not even 50% with 5+ hours to go!

Is it a clean instal Harry or does it use the 7/Vista drivers?
I'll like to have a go with it, PM me the link please.

I did a clean install. Quite quick, and it found all of the hardware.

*Ner*.

Failed again.

You really are clueless, aren't you?

Perhaps you could send me a registry hack for that.

Neo,

To burn the ISO to a DVD, I recommend Imgburn

I'm surprised you got past that, fucktard.

This is a great website if you want to go back in time and see how UI were real and much more fun

Graphical User Interface Gallery

nothing like the gay thing we are seeing here with harryb

choke on that harryb,

Butters, looks to me like you've been taking screenshots of all of your PC's.

Fucking retard.

the boot screen that started it all

VisiCorp Visi On was the first full featured desktop GUI for the IBM PC. Legend has it Bill Gates saw a demo of this running at the 1982 comdex running on an IBM PC. He freaked out because Microsoft didn't have anything like this yet, ran back to Microsoft Headquarters, and had them start work on what became Windows.

Butters, have you run out of ladyboy cock to suck? Because I still don't know what you're doing in a thread on Windows 8 when you're so fucking retarded you try and get Windows 7 to connect to Wifi with a registry hack - and fail?

Seriously, I'd think about a shrink and some medication. Lots of it.

You dumb fuck.

your memory is failing you again, must be your ADHD from playing too much XBOX

awesome news, they have been working on an OpenSource clone of WinNT, so once Win7 and Win8 takes over our desktop with their silly teenage interface, we can still be working with a real desktop UI

It's called ReactOS

Did you ever make it that far?

Have a look at this page. (If you want to short cut and just download the vid, the link is here ).

If they really have managed to pull this off, then that's some fucking improvement!
