Vista: the degrade of XP

This explains in a good way what I was talking about on my other post about
vista being far slower than XP in the Classic theme.

Problem #3: Eliminating GDI hardware acceleration.

Windows Vista has a new desktop window manager (the DWM) which provides 3D
acceleration to the desktop. This is very nice for future applications. But
in the process of doing this, Microsoft eliminated 2D acceleration entirely.

For the past decade, Windows programs have used GDI for their on-screen
drawing. And video card manufacturers provided hardware acceleration for
this. But now in Vista, this acceleration is gone and the result has been a
noticeably slower desktop -- particularly with programs that make heavy use
of GDI drawing routines.

It's a little flabbergasting to developers who were told to use GDI and GDI+
for years to suddenly have their apps no longer performing as well as they
did on Windows XP. I am not even sure why Microsoft did this.

Solution: Bring back GDI acceleration

Why not take a drive to the Microsoft campus and talk some sense into them.
Maybe once they hear all your valid reasons for everything related to Vista,
they will make you a full time employee, give you loads of cash and you can
solve all the outstanding problems that Vista has.

Once you get to Redmond, take the SR 520, exit at NE 40th Street, go East,
then go South on 156th Ave NE, then turn left onto NE 36th. Make an
immediate right onto Microsoft Way, then go into their main building. I am
sure Bill Gates will be waiting for someone just like yourself.

Frank, if you had vista you would have noticed this big lag when vista is in
classic mode compared to XP. Either you dont have vista or you dont know so
much about pc's or both.

I wonder what the poor users of Vista basic or the people who dont have
accelerated cards are doing..

the vista experience must be horrible for them

You don't even know what a minkey is. Just FYI. You are so mentally ill,
it sickens the rest of us. Go get a job at Taco Bell and stop bothering the
regular people here. You are nothing but a dick head and a cock head.

According to Mick you are a cockhead.
