Windows XP is actually annoying me by being cute and nice. And despite reports that it's yanking people toward Microsoft sites...it didn't do that to me when I was playing around with it. Here I was, all prepared to hate it.
Scott gave me an account to play with. It will let me install all the software I want.
I think this would also work for my laptop, but I must talk to the guy who approved it first...see what he wants. I don't wanna install the DevStudio on Scott's machine to test it, the thing is temperamental, but...we'll see. We'll see.
The new interface isn't as different as it looks at first. Hype, not substance. No big shock there.
I don't love it. It's no huge new leap over what we've had, as far as the immediately obvious. It's no huge fall back.
I'm sort of neutral about what I've heard about it, too. It's got good, it's got bad. Better stability. Slightly better security. Not yet all the drivers you'd like, not as frinedly to some programs, too Microsoft-bundled.
My company's going to have to work with it eventually anyway.
Why not?
