And if there's any problem with the HTML engine, you completely lose
the whole thing, just like in the HTML-ized control panel applets in
earlier versions of Windows. And when that happens, there's NO
"genuinely simple" alternative, I warrant.
And if there's any problem with the windowing system, you completely
lose the whole thing. Same same video drivers. The HTML renderer
appears to have become "core" in a way it wasn't a decade ago.
It's extra complexity, no doubt, but IMO they've used it in ways that
are actually useful rather than merely flashy.
Now, for hateful, the Vista software for the Logitech G15 keyboard.
Install it, run iTunes in the background, and you can look forward to
having iTunes pop up to the front every few minutes. Brilliant
design!
