You'd have thought they'd have perfected XP by now wouldn't you?

Have to say though I do quite like 7 but was a bit miffed the other day to find out they've removed the display hardware acceleration control which has allowed me to get stuff working for customers while I get a developer to look at their code.

It is all display driver dependent now, grrrr.

Mustn't let people have control, Mitch, it's bad for them.

Oh yeah they've done that with Windows Phone 7.

Well I have 180 patches queued on my Linux box... but that is admittedly the entire software stack!
