Windows Vista Aero + WinAmp multiple transparency + Flip 3D

[jijoferna]

is winxp+windowblinds+shockaero+s­idebar for xp, and winamp is a transparent

[Rx7even]

reminds me of the mac

[Yamatoproduction]

i see nice RAM performance... lol

[Nuva007]

Not including all my upgrades of course, and I have two other eMachines, as well as an armada of gaming devices, mass usb storage devices, top of the line LCD widescreens, and 7.1 surround sound.

[diberlee]

And I'm guessing you're making up for either a small genital or just being short by bragging about this... ??

Nice try, but I aint impressed... and I don't think anyone else is either

[Nuva007]

Crap, man, why do you have to kill his fun? It looks cool. You don't have to be an ass.

[diberlee]

Wasn't talking about the video, was talking about your random "I'm better than you because I have this and this and this" post. Nobody cares - but if you feel important I'm happy for ya...

But yeah the video is cool, doesn't come close to Linux but this argument has been doen a million times...

[maureenOWW]

"doesn't come close to Linux" - ROFLMAO (in a retro stylee)

There was me thinking Linux was the ugliest POS OS in the history of the world. (with the possible exception of Amiga workbench).

[dm9623]

Hi gigarello!

Can I ask you which is the song at this video?

Thanks!!!!!

[durango112]

I just got vista yesterday and i dont know how to switch to the aero window. I do have ultimate

[Dannycrazyass09]

looks like macs album art work on itunes...

Microsoft really needs some no creative minds to make some damn ideas of their own Fuck your Vista the only damn point of vista im getting is mac

Ps.Vista is spanish for view/sight

[chioluo]

hooo lots of pc fanboys here haha all enjoying the little aero ahahha expose owns you in a bad way just use youtube and you'll see hahahah retarded btw cheers devin6687

[berkmanfan14]

mac > pc

[Ninjahorse]

I personally like vista's new features too, and flip 3D is nicely understated. By the way can you tell me what the music is playing in this vid? :)

[racl101]

WOW that's amazing! for about 1 minute.

[yayieali]

face the facts that all apple products are lame...too lame i suppose..

[FCCAGut]

I think Mac is sucky, and guess what they are going out of business around the next 10 years due to how much people have a PC with Windows. and wtf is a "unix" that's been around since the 60's i mean why the fuck would someone use something from the 60's on a computer. I can hack Mac in Unix.

[devin6687]

If Microsoft were smart, it would have rebuilt windows on top of UNIX, it's still much more secure than Vista could ever be.

UNIX was designed for networking, multiple users, file sharing, multi-tasking, permissions, root access... all from day 1 of development. In Windows, all of those things were afterthoughts, and so is the security.

[devin6687]

Exposé is not useless. It makes Flip 3d look like a joke, if you ask me. Exposé has 3 different functions where flip 3d just has one. All windows, application specific, and reveal desktop. Plus, my old Mac can do Exposé and it's 3 years old. In case you haven't noticed, the number of people switching is growing every day!

[Rjnicko]

Microsoft don't sell computers they sell software to other outfits like HP sony, i no that and i'm a mac user lol

[ahanix1988]

Oh wait, I apologize -- on further investigation: The Apple TV can't even capture a fucking cable signal :D

I use Mac OS. I use Windows. I prefer Windows. It's more stable (YES, DO NOT EVEN TALK TO ME ABOUT THAT. I CANNOT FUCKING TELL YOU HOW MANY TIMES iMOVIE HAS FUCKED ME OVER AT SCHOOL), starts faster, and is more compatible. Yes, Windows has some features similar to Apple, but who the hell is trying to say that no two operating systems can share features? Mouse support?

[ahanix1988]

THANK YOU! I cannot tell you how many times iMovie crashed on me in school. Select a font. Select the font again, "iMovie has unexpectedly quit" What the hell is Error -2?  Who knows. Meanwhile, all of my movies are edited on Windows Vista, on an AMD Athlon 64 rig with Adobe Premiere. Crashes: None. Ever. EVER.

[ahanix1988]

Just because Microsoft takes more time and puts more changes into the operating system, doesn't mean they are slow. Let's look even further -- Every year, Apple releases a new update, costing near $150. Microsoft had a release wait of a little over 6 years. Six years with Microsoft: $239 (Home Premium)

Six years with Apple: $900 (Assuming yearly updates at $150/update).

[hmurchison]

God you're a flipping moron. There have been 4 paid updates to OS X. 10-10.1 was free. Then Jaguar (10.2) then Panther (10.3) then Tiger (10.4) @ 129 dollars each that's $520. Don't assume when you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

[ahanix1988]

So what if Apple had some of these features since 2003? Windows XP was released in 2001. You don't see Microsoft shipping "Windows NT 5.1.1", "5.1.2", etc... No. 5.1, then service packs. Here's a fun one:

THE ABILITY TO USE YOUR COMPUTER AS A PVR:

Linux: God knows how long

Microsoft: 2002

Apple: Late 2006.

Took them long enough.

[devin6687]

Exposé is much better than that Flip 3D, you have to go through all the windows one by one, that is impractical and does not deserve to have a 3D effect.

[Jhaks]

So many get this wrong because THEY ASSUME. You can in fact click on a window to select it. I like expose too but Flip3D does give you bigger previews which is better when you need to see detailed content to distinguish the windows.

[devin6687]

It gives you bigger previews, but unfortunately, you can't see every part of every window. The biggest help Windows would be is that it would be obvious which window is which. Nothing has hardly any uniformity at all, so yeah, that is easier. But you also consider that you still have a separate menu bar for every window and it's still far less efficient.

[ahanix1988]

Bullshit. It's more efficient to have every program have it's own menu bar. On OSX, I have to click the app, THEN I can use the menu bar for that app. If the other window needs me to use it's menu, I need to manually focus that app first. With Windows, I can just click right on the app's menu bar, and go. One click, no mouse travel.

[MacSK8T]

ah, what linux developers were doing in 1 year, and Apple had for nearly 7 years now; took MS 6 years to copy? oh dear xD (but it's a really bad copy of OS X)

[BrightAnarchist]

OS X *released* a subset of the Vista features before Vista. However, Vista had these features long before Mac revealed any of it to the public. WTF is it with people being *religious* about OSes? Learn the facts, and act on them. Don't spout things about any platform based on emotions.

[MacSK8T]

Please look at the facts:

- Expose: Mac OS X Panther 2003, Window Flip 3D 2007

- Dashboard: Mac OS X Tiger 2004, Sidebar 2007

- Parental Control: Mac OS X Tiger 2004, Vista 2007

- Photo Management: On every Mac since 2000, Windows since this year

- Shadows: Since Mac OS X 10.0 (2000), Windows since 2007

[ahanix1988]

Vista was RELEASED in 2007, but it's been in DEVELOPMENT since 2002. The only reason OSX had them public earlier is because they do tiny little changes, increment the version number by a fraction, and sell it for about five times its worth. "Holy crap, updated search!", which is useful for people who don't know how to organize their damn files.

[Rjnicko]

nope 2003 actually, it got delayed so long cos they changed the vista code, apple is better

[Rjnicko]

well technically no, the growth rate of the Mac is 50% more the PC market

[Nuva007]

People that use Macs are gay.

[Rjnicko]

people who use macs are richer than people who use PC's we can afford more

[Nuva007]

My Alienware PC cost $3000. Take your $700 Macbook you bought used on Amazon and get out of here.

[Rjnicko]

my macbook wasn't $700, all in total my macs were $3,109 and that don't include my HD dvd drive, my ram upgrades, or software

[Rjnicko]

why would I buy a mac off amazon, I always buy my macs from one place and one place only and thats an Apple retail store. Also if I include everything which I bought for My Macbook it was around $2,689.9 and thats just one computer I have three other macs

[ssuuddoo]

:D nice, but too weak for a system requiring such a huge hardware comparing to linux that manages to to thing that are hundred times greater. ....see 4 yourself on products such as compiz, beryl, kiba-dock.. :D

[gigarello]

Look at the small laptop under the screen..

Debian rulez ;-)

Ciao

[ssuuddoo]

=oD awesome. have a nice day. bye bye from Slovakia

[Jhaks]

Just because Vista doesn't throw on a cape, ride around on a pony while juggle flaming torches doesn't mean it can't. The linux 3D accelerated desktop veriants are way too over the top. If they're to become common to the masses they need to refine the flash and glitter. Check out Windows Presentation Foundation to see what devs are doing with MS's new platform.

[eighty7bapesta]

Nice comp dude.
