neosmart.net— Microsoft has just released a new build following the lackluster Beta 2. Build 5456 has a new Aero, better UAP that isn't (as) annoying, and best of all for the first time since Windows 3.0: new Cursors!

Is anyone else really put off with the way the user display icon sits off the edge of the Start menu like that? What's up with that? I think I'm spoiled by Apple's UI design.As if I need to be reminded of what my display pic looks like every time I click the menu.
@kramOf course I have anger, but the anger is at you; or more to the point people like you. You use a mac, whoopde-freakn do, you come into a Windows Vista comment section to tell people of your 'superior operating system'. I use them too, I'm on one as I speak, they're nice, they get the job done. But you know what, so does windows! It does everything I want it to just as fast and easily as my mac. I have antivirus software, I have spyware software. Why? Because it's a windows machine, it's a primary target for virus'. My mac, what virus writer cares about it? Why do I need to bother with extra software.Now, the question of wasting my time... does that software waste my time? No, once a month the automated scan runs in the background, I usually don't notice its going on, then a pop up comes up with results. Ohh scary! You have a really twisted view on the world, it's why I can't help but be pissed at anyone who shows your attitude or a similar attitude for some other product. It's why I think the new apple ads are riddiculous, and why the people at Microsoft are idiots for being anti-open source (fear the Communists).Woo! Now back to my 'graphing calculator'! Hmm.. no it's late.. maybe I'll play some Oblivion.. wait I can't, I'm on the mac! Damn! I better go to my PC, bye now.
Oh of course, I'm unbiased, therefore I have a millitant love for Microsoft (I think you mispelled it). How could I have been so blinded by logic! Ok, so you were defending your platform, cool, but you certainly did a 'dickish' way.Hmm why didn't I buy a X-Box? Well I did, but maybe it's because I'd rather have a PC, a superior gaming system in my opinion. I work with my PC probably as much as you hump your Mac (which is assumed to be quite often in this statement). My mac is handy with video and rendering. My Debian server is handy for filehosting, webhosting, and the like. My windows computer is handy for my day to day tasks and an occasional game or two. If you think I am loyal to only microsoft, I'm sorry, but you'd be retarded.Now maybe the concept of an unbiased opinion in operating systems is a bit hard to grasp, but we're out here, and people like you make our skin crawl, mostly due to the aire of superiority you carry about you-when in reality you're just a gerk.Oh and I got a good laugh at the 'Mommy and Daddy' comment because of 'GAMES'. Of course; I play video games so I must be pathetic and live in my parents basement. Ha. Well I'm 17 and have a room upstairs thank you very much. You've got problems man.
@kramYou know what? The greatest part of your reply is that you didn't make any relevant counter points, and merely became nit picky on my writing. It's usually an accepted unwritten rule that when one does this, they already lost.You have a girlfriend? Good. Though I was not referring to sex, I was being metaphorical. Referring to a blatant fanboyism. I was going to mention the second 'game over card', so to speak. When one mentions how much sex he gets to imply he is better, but secretly is just a loser, but I realized that wasn't implied.I never said I wasn't being a dick, as a matter of fact, I was. I fight fire with fire (jerk with GERK (ha, funny how those silly errors slip by sometimes). Obviously I am drastically under educated because of a few spelling mistakes... You really need to lighten up my friend... Oh and thank you, I am well aware of a spell checking button, but did not bother, didn't want to be distracted from my 'graphing calculator'. And just stop being such a 'gerk'.
Well, at least they told the UAP to STFU. That thing was very annoying. Now it's only just annoying.I really don't care about mouse cursors. I'm using the same one I have been since Windows 3.1 and I probably will always use it. Stop rying to re-invent the wheel and move on to something new, MS.
