moonlit Posted June 18, 2008 Share Posted June 18, 2008 Sidebar has always been a buggy mess, from the day it was born until today. Still, you should just be able to move it off to a spare space. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonlit Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 Lol! U use vista!!! Very perceptive of you. Oh, it is possible that he's not running Vista as there have been attempts at allowing sidebar to run on XP. I trust you had no intention of mocking Vista users with this comment?

Razor512 Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 if you saw how much memory running the crappy sidebar was using, you would disable it quickly and silentknight329 the main problem with vista is that it is sluggish it can still be fast but not as fast as XP things that generally load instantly in windows xp now take a great deal of cpu time and hard drive time to load because microsoft decided to make just about every menu and setting window bloated and less tabbed most setting windows in xp are tabbed based but in vista, you have to open 1 window that has a bloated ui around it which makes it take much longer to open, that window then has links to other windows that also take a while to load vista would be ok if they didn't do stupid things to make it annoying to use. almost every menu and setting now has it's own window instead of being in 1 tabbed window and they take longer to open, it is just extra time and work to get to the same menu's and settings that you would use in windows xp vista may not be slow, but it is not fast either an upgrade should not slow you down, would you upgrade from a geforce 8800GTX to a 9800GTX if the 9800GTX benchmarked lower than the 8800 and cost much more? thats like adding rims that weigh 70 pounds each to your car to make it look nicer but in the end all it is doing is cutting your gas mileage by 15% and reducing your top speed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonlit Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 if you saw how much memory running the crappy sidebar was using, you would disable it quickly Sure, I'll accept that Sidebar is a pig. it can still be fast but not as fast as XP You mean like 98 was to 95, and 95 was to 3.1, and 3.1 was to 2.x/1.x and MSDOS? Kinda like how MacOS X is to MacOS 9, and how MacOS 9 was to MacOS 8, and MacOS 8 was to System 7. It's how it works, computer hardware get more powerful and OSs get heavier and slower.

digip Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 I just hope the next WIndows, isn't a windows at all and something new all together. They are supposed to doing a ground sup OS, so it's not so much the same windows family as it is just a new OS (Which will probably look and act like windows anyway, but hell, maybe the underlying code will be clean, fast and secure). http://gizmodo.com/5021126/microsoft-midor...perating-system Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Windows 7 (the successor to Vista) is based well and truly upon Vista. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
