I fail and feel so blah =/.

That Windows 7 review is just a LITTLE bit behind XD, not that it matters, no one looks at this =/.

Um, Windows 7 is... okay. It's not that great but it's better than Vista, I'll tell you that.

It's got a lot of the same security that Vista had so I'm finding that I will accidentally start something not as an admin and then have to redo all my work again when I'm saving something to /Program Files or another protected folder.

The UI is amazing, really easy to use and get used to, and the (pointer movements? Forgot what they are called) REALLLLYYYY come in handy, great for writing essays or doing projects.

It has started to run slower. Really slow actually. I've defragged only a few times since I've started using 7, but it doesn't tell me I have a large percentage of fragmentation. Might be because I have the RC version, but I don't think so. (or because my computer is 4 years old and only registers a like... 3.5 rating XD)

Um... what else... Oh, the changing wallpaper feature is awesome :D, yeah XD.

There's a Startup folder in the >All Programs area, I don't know if that was in Vista or not, but it can come in real handy.


All in all I rate Windows 7 in
usability: 8
look: 10
feel: 10
awesome stock wallpaper: 10
overall: 9

Compared to XP
usability: 9
look: 7
feel: 10
stock wallpaper: 2 (seriously they sucked)
overall: 8.5 maybe (I'm not averaging these)

Oh, and you're going to have to get used to some different folder layouts, like, instead of /Documents and Settings/(user name) it's /users/(user name).
Also, the boot screen is way cooler than Vistas :D:D:D:D:D.


...I have no idea, I'll edit this if I think of anything else.


Other news:
I haven't been working on any new Journal skins AT ALL, oh well =/.

My old ID was WAAAAAAYYYYYYYY to long!

Lol.

So, My name are Eric =D. Well, my online alias is XD. My real name is... well, you just need to know Eric ;).

I love photography and webdesign, they are what I love doing. I've only been doing webdesign for a little while, but I still enjoy doing it and learning all the new things there are to learn about it.

Photoshop: I've been using for a few years, ever since I went to some (really really crappy) photography class where we learned how to take photos and then edit them with photoshop. A lot of the stuff I've learned about photoshop I've learned online, but some of it has been self taught, I used what I already new, and did things to see if they looked good. I don't have much good work on DevArt because I haven't decided to take the time to sit down and actually make anything good lol, but I am hoping to have some soon.
