I really wish they would have named it X.

But if they named it X, then people would claim that Microsoft Corp was copying Apple's Mac OS X.

Although, you must realise that Mr Gates hasn't been head of Microsoft since the early 00s, Sileny. tongue

Every time I get on this forum and see a private Message, I cringe and wonder "Oh god. What stupid shit did I say now that deserved a thump"

I'm pretty sure the original OS X has as much in common with the current OS X as Windows 7 has in common with Windows 95.

How much do you get thumped dude?

I mean what's your ratio of thumps to actual messages for that to be your first thought?

I'm always extremely excited when I get a PM, for some reason.

I can't speak for Aszur, but I don't get thumped all that often. I'm just paranoid as fuck.

I'm always disapointed when I get thumps/automated messages.

It's like "Woo a PM! someone wants to talk to me!"

THUMP.

I just... Don't really get P Ms I didn't start myself. So if I get a PM out of nowhere without a conversation initiated like an hour ago there isn't much else to think it will be.

Not paranoia so much as me knowing that nobody here attempts to start a talk with me themselves.

Hey, I send P Ms to you.

Granted, it's pretty much always about my RP ideas but it counts.

I appreciate that dude. Don't get me wrong I'm not ignoring your existence, it's just that... Only started like a month ago at best. And happened like twice or three times.

I never used to get PM's.

But then again it was only Late July/Early August that people here began to realise I exist/I became relatively known, so yeah.

So that's why I'm excited to get them.

Someone in Insecurites has the same avatar as me (probably stole it from me).

Seriously confused the fuck out of me.

5IV HA eevee

I have no idea what that string of characters means.

eevee is a pokemon, the other stuff means it has good stats and a good ability, for people who are really into the pokemon games. sorry for confusion!

One advantage Windows 10 will have over earlier versions: virtual desktops

That is something Windows has needed for a long time

HA means Hidden Ability and IV means Individual Value.

The first article I read about Win10 made it sound like they'd backtracked so hard into Win7 they left touch devices behind, but when I got more information, it sounds like they got it about right. Desktop for keyboard/mouse users, Metro for touch, and Continuum for convertibles.

Continuum looks like it'd also be useful on touch-active desktop all-in-ones.

I'm not really paying much attention to the plot, but it seems adequate.
