Somethings never change
So here's new windows 7 - semi-excited and thankful it was a give away from Microsoft. While I doubt I would have made the jump from Vista to Windows 7 simply because "it's here", here's something I've noted while getting set up.
The "Desktop Icon Settings", or "Desktop Items" (as known in XP) is still present in the system nearly unchanged. Thinking back (and it hurts) I'm fairly sure that windows 98 and 95 even had similar setups.
I'm referring to having a new interface for the control panel in a brand new OS, and yet when you click on to change desktop icons - look out a flashback of a really old interface hits you in the face.
Not upset or bitching about it, just thought it interesting enough to share.
Me
Darren Nolan: is a happy chappy that twiddles with everything internet, specialising in website coding (in all it's flavours) and linux administration. He doesn't have a creative design bone in his body. He enjoys long walks on the beach, programming and coffee. We’re kidding about the walks on the beach, but he does love his coffee!Or as his mate explains him.....
Sad individual that hulicinates from sleep deprivation, doesn't get out much, loves his servers more than his family, going to be Webz's new coding bitch, and all round great geek. Don't bother asking him on a date unless you are an intel server with linux
