Vista sounds like a codename, not a final name.

I'd've liked Windows 2006, myself.

The year-names are silly, because then 3 years later it feels dated.

It's the same reason SP2 removed the copyright year from the Windows boot screen (2001).

Sure, year names are kinda odd, but it's better than referring to it with something that sounds like a marketspeak codename.

"Tiger" and "Leopard" both sound silly, which is why, at least when speaking of them, I tend to say OS X 10.4; I'd rather say Windows 6.0 or 2006 instead of "Vista".

They should've named it Windows 360.

It uses WMV...played fine for me. Buffering also. Then again I get 10MB/s download speeds at work from the internet.

And I don't think you should be talking -- you still haven't fixed the fugly forum buttons, nor the horizontal scroll issue in Gecko browsers.

i use firefox and i dont have a horizontal scroll issue

so it wasnt buffered

[Asher]

That's funny, because most people do. I've even told you how to fix it with a workaround a while ago, and you ignored it. It's a registered Gecko bug...

I also told you how to correct the fugly forum buttons (which overrides theme/style info on Windows to show the ugly oldschool grey box style), but you ignored that also.

It's always buffered Mark, it just filled up instantly.

Don't you know how the internet works.
