          XP scheme is UGLY.

          I just wish Classic actually was exactly like normal windows (scheme). It's just a little bit different, noticeably.

                I don't want/need all the eye candy. I switched off all the special effects in Windows, and of the icons in my tray, only the bottom two load with Windows.

                Funny enough, I "raced" a colleague of mine on Windows startup time today.
                His laptop is a Pentium-M 1.3 GHz with 512 MB RAM and all the eye-candy enabled, and mine is P3 600 MHz with 256 MB RAM and all the eye-candy disabled.

                Mine booted slightly faster.

                  Probably because laptop HDs are far slower than desktop HDs, and that makes the most difference by far in Windows bootup.

                  You should see how fast my new rig starts up with RAID0 (~100MB/s actual sustained read speeds) starts up.

                    Here you go:

                      Uhm, they were both laptops, his laptop versus mine.

                          Asher what version of MSN are you using?

                          I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

                            Nah, our cross-link connection wasn't working, so we decided to both reboot, and that's when the idea came to see which one was faster.

                            However, I sometimes do these "contests" it with people who've recently bought a new laptop and installed piles of junk on it, to show them what a difference effective resource utilization can make.
