Pft, I run Windows XP anyway.

If I upgrade to 7, I will probably turn off Aero as it is a pointless waste of resources.

It doesn't waste them. It uses what would left unused anyway. I always think that having a good graphics card and having aero switched off is a waste...

Once playing a game etc Aero isn't still taking up reasours. And it only uses an extra 20-ishMb RAM which with modern computers having 2-4Gb its not gonna make much of a difference...

And Aero does look very very very nice :D

I am a bit of an HST fan and so my desktop is of a First Great Western set that I photographed at Westbury a few weeks ago.

I was going to get one, but then I went away on holiday and am now short of money, and I want to go somewhere else a lot further away as well... lol

I am a Mac consultant and have some second hand ones for sale. PM me for more details.

Some users just want a bog standard interface that they know, and that works. Not some silly flashy ZOMG IT MOVES thing.
