I have already found some years ago, but nothing satisfying me, sadly. Last year I also found some window managers, but, anew, I did not found something able to replace the windows' window manager: only stuff to add a layer, with all the flaws it gave, considering how poorly windows is able to configure keyboard shortcuts (when the SUPER/WINDOWS/WHATEVER key is involved, at least). >> [...] since it would mean I could replace the >> buggy (I stopped at windows XP, it may explain my harsh words... or not.) >> graphical stuff with something more stable. > > Maybe I'm wearing pink glasses, maybe bugs are afraid of me, > maybe it's kind of like Stockholm syndrome or maybe I'm just a lucky > bastard.

I do not now if you are lucky or ... , but, for example, I have a quite funny and reproducible crash, which involves Xming (do not remember the version, I only uses that tool at work, to use my own computer's but with the enterprise screen and keyboard, the only 2 things which can beat my laptop: screen by size, keyboard by being noisy to show I am using it :D ). To reproduce: _ xming is installed _ some folders have a "toolbar" on desktop, one of them containing a file to open with xming _ host have a different "hash" (changing IP is usually how it changes) When those conditions are present (quite often in my situation) then xming crashes, *with* explorer (process separation, where are you?) and the only way you have is to run the taskmanager, kill explorer and restart it. Then, I become able to start xming linked with my computer, without more problems. Of course, xming had the first problem, but I can not see why explorer have to follow it in death. This one is only the one I am able to reproduce on a daily basis, of course. taskmgr is really a useful software. > Also, about the CLI: I have also written quite bunch of cmd.exe > scripts, and my experience is that basically what worked in 2000, worked > the same all the way up to Win 8. > > For Windows CLI syntax, there has been some "evolution" > (command.com => cmd.exe) which happened to turn the mess into a > big mess.

MS-DOS was pretty usable with some configuration, IIRC, when it was the real one (ok, far from current bash anyway). But when they stopped the 9x branch of windows, they removed many useful commands, and also modified options of existing ones: MS-DOS "dir" command was far more powerful than the one XP SP3 embeds. But maybe it is some nostalgia, considering I started tinkering on MS-DOS and QBasic :) This year, I discovered PowerShell, but the only thing I have found powerful in it (considering that I am a linux user, a windows user should be really impressed by that, I suppose.) was the pretentious name, the length of lines, the lack of history and the poor auto-completion. With windows, I can not imagine using command line as file explorer, and on my linux computers I have no longer file explorers (graphical or semi-graphical). -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
