What I'm still trying to figure out is what benefit I have gained from doing so. I've been using it for about three weeks now, and I can't think of one significant way that it's made my life any easier. I can think of numerous ways that it's made my life more difficult (mostly with UAC and legacy program compability issues). I have friends and relatives (and even customers) that ask my advice -- If I've missed something that is truely important about this OS upgrade then I want to know about it, so I can keep them properly informed. I agree the repaint issue was worthy of improving. For me however, it doesn't even rise to the level of a minor bullet item on my list of important contributions that Vista makes. Furthermore, I'm curious about Microsoft's reasons for switching from the GDI to the DWM/GPU. Clearly there have to be more reasons than to eliminate repaint delay and to allow transparency effects. It must have taken a huge investment in man-hours to do this as the GDI was one of the key components of the Windows OS. They must have bigger plans than what I've seen so far. ----------------------------------------------------------- Posted using Android Newsgroup Downloader: .... http://www.sb-software.com/android ----------------------------------------------------------- |
