It never got to the point of being sold. I forget the inspiration, mostly it was trying to think of a name that wouldn't already be used. Comment...

DirectShow is always a pain to deal with. Relating to newish vista/7 stuff, Christophe's likes to compare the taskbar-status API (good) with the newer file open/save dialog API (bad). Comment...

Asked by James (70.173.150.x) on March 10 2010, 10:38pm
Reply on March 12 2010, 5:03pm:

Maybe, but the cost isn't worth the benefit IMO. I wonder if WPF is a decent API, though. Some of the newer MS and Apple APIs are good, others are awful. Comment...

Reply on March 12 2010, 5:06pm:

Hmm I'm not sure what's new in it over Vista, since I rarely used Vista, but: I like the backup utility. Aero is nice enough. The taskbar is good. Keyboard navigation in explorer got broken though, bleh. I really like the x64-ness of my installs (yes, I know xp64 and vista had 64 bit too). Comment...
