That makes me remember a day in my OS and Networking class at college. We were discussing job/process management, and the different methods. FIFO, Round Robbin etc.. We were simulating each technique, taking 5 or so minutes for each. Then we got to round robbin. "Windows NT uses a round robbin job scheduling method" said our professor. Our round robbin simulation then dragged on for the remaining 30 minutes of class.

Ok, I'm not full of angst. I was just making some humor.
Actually, Windows XP is extra friendly. Like those big fat Crayola kidie markers. I get this warm fuzzy feeling every time I boot it up.

Besideds, a little counter culture is a good thing. Who wants us all marching around like Microsoft Nazis?

Yes, what is up with Visual Studio? It's alwfully slow sometimes.

Isn't Visual Studio integrated with IE somehow? Perhaps it's using a lot of the same shared libraries. I find myself running the IDE in High Priority most of the time, and it seems to speed it up.

I love making .NET Direct X programs though.
The potential for easy game developement is great, and Visual Basic is a whole lot of fun.
