I run a Windows operating system on an m.2 SSD on the latest generation AMD CPU and GeForce graphics card. My name is Patrick Bateman. I’m 27 years old. I believe in taking care of my operating system and a balanced power profile and rigorous maintenance routine. In the morning if my game is a little laggy I’ll put on a memory optimisation program while running benchmarks. I can score 1000 now. After I remove unused programs I use a file clearing tool such as CCleaner. On the desktop I audit all my shortcuts , remove any I haven’t opened for a while and sort the rest into folders. Then I apply any driver or software updates before powering off my PC which I leave off for 10 minutes while I prepare the rest of my routine. I always use a keyboard cleaning wipe with little or no alcohol, because alcohol dries your fingers out and makes you type slower. Then screen cleaning, then wiping down my desk mat followed by a final system boot.
A while back I wanted to make a Longhorn-style fork of Haiku (imo the sweet spot between windows and linux), although I ended up quitting because it was too much work
While I love the background, the cluttered mass of icons makes my eye twitch. A modicum of organization, please.
The only perfect background is to disable all icons and keep it black
I see a background
And I want it painted black
No icons anymore
I want my desktop black
Okay, Patrick Bateman

seriously. you guys are the same freaks that hide all their wires on your workstation for those lame pictures you like posting
Yeah, imagine having a not-cluttered-as-fuck workstation that looks nice?
Fucking savages don’t organize their cables.
Same. I would go insane with a desktop like that.
The icons made your eyes twitch, but the Vista didn’t?
The lesser of problems, I’d wager. Managed to bypass Vista… and 8. shudders
Lol, dude should just slip in some skinned-up Linux Mint. Dad’s mind would be blown because OMG it’s so fast now!

Funny, because this looks a lot like how Longhorn did/was supposed to. Very pretty for its time.
Longhorn broke my heart, and I haven’t used Windows since (except to play Fallout)
Agreed, I am also a Longhorn enthusiast
Beta testing Longhorn, and it’s failure, just killed my last ounce of faith in MS. I went and bought a Mac after that, lol.
TBH, being into Macs are what got me into UNIX and Linux, though, so that’s something.

Here are some mockups
You’re sure it’s not 7? I loved the glass that 7 had.
The task bar on 7 Looked Way better
Hah, as if you’d ever see the icons behind the millions of things I have running
