Reply to Still no go on Windows 7 update soon? in Fences WinCustomize Forums

[quote who="tmorg" reply="17" id="2033281"]I love this product ....please resolve this for windows 7.....thanks[/quote] There's really nothing to be resolved with this issue... It's a question of an added feature. It'll be added when it's added, I rather have a properly coded solution than some quick'n'dirty fix to make it work fast. Personally I'd really prefer 3 different versions of all software, so they are 100% native to the OS. But that really adds alot of work for the d

Reply to HELP: good MMORPG in Everything Else Stardock Forums

Age of Conan is a rather different MMORPG. While it has had a lot of bad publicity for different reasons, they are constantly improving upon it. Send me a PM with your email and I can give you a free trial (buddy key). Just be aware that the client is a MASSIVE download. :) (I'll hand out as many keys I can, I believe it's 5 or so, on a first-come, first-served basis. Will post a reply here if/when I run out)

Direct input is deprecated, use now wm input ( window message processing for keyboard and mouse input. ) Direct Sound is deprecated [/quote] That only leaves DirectDraw, Direct3D, DirectMusic and DirectSetup then... And the upcoming Direct2D and DirectWrite.

[quote who="CobraA1" reply="12" id="2026003"] But there's another point I'd like to make - not many users know about cp and grep, and few are willing to learn to use the command line. Worse, many people consider the command line to be outdated.[/quote] The commandline is an unnecessary complication for the majority of users. There's really nothing else to say, you can give as many patternmatching examples you'd like. Fact remains, most people don't need it. [quote

What's your favorite "pixel-drawing" software? in Skinning WinCustomize Forums

I thought back, and ralised that the most fun I've had when it comes to drawing things on computers was with deluxepaint on my old Amiga. It was really easy editing a drawing pixel by pixel on it. I tried the wsame approach in photoshop, and well, it just feels way bulky to work it that way. Paint is... well... paint... so it's limited to say the least... Here's the question again: Do you use some special software for pixel editing, which is your favorite? :) My drawing arsena

[quote who="dmantione" reply="7" id="2025630"] Not a fact, but a lie. For example, if you buy an official OpenSuSE package, it includes 90 days professional support. My experience with it is really good, it is the same support department that handles the enterprise support, and that for about half the price of a not-supported-at-all OEM edition of Windows. If that is not enough for you, SuSE Linux Enterprise Desktop with 24x7 priority suppor

[quote who="dmantione" reply="25" id="2025003"] He made the wrong analogy. His point however, that Windows has terrible support unless you pay huge sums, is valid. [/quote] Fact is, professional support for Linux is way more expensive than it is for windows. I can go to forums and get excellent support for both OSes for free.
