is anyone else bothered by the feature in Windows XP that automatically resizes images if they are to big for your browser window? i think it sucks…and i don’t want microsoft telling me how to surf the internet…its already bad enough that google does that… if anyone knows a way to turn that off let me know! :rambo: :rambo: ---

You can turn that off. I hate that feature and I turned it off the day I got it. Tool/Internet Options/Advanced Tab/ In there will be a subsection called “Multimedia” Uncheck the option in there that says… “Enable Automatic Image Resizing” For me it is the second checkbox down from the “Multimedia” title. ---

it’s hard to imagine that no one has really pushed another operating system to compete with microsoft… … yes, I know what you’re going to say… compatibility issues, programs are all written for windows, no open source, bundling… etc. but why wouldnt a major computer maker make their own OS or partner with linux, to compete with microsoft. They dont HAVE to stop bundling windows… just offer another OS. Yes, I know what you’re going to say… some have DONE that… but no one has really PUSHED it with 110 percent effort. there’s nothing to lose (except your market share… hehe) but imagine the millions that could be made! ---

LoungeActx, if you hate Explorer, there`s always an alternative browser. For example, I`m using Opera 7.1 ( [www.opera.com](http://www.opera.com) ). ---

Actually… Comparing Xp with the other browsers… XP allows you to control so many more things. It’s a helluva alot better than the other versions… Now… It’s not XP’s fault with the Image Resizing as Beta pointed out. It’s IE’s fault… And it was a simple click to turn it off… Soo… For the people out there who likes to view there images on one screen can… And for those that don’t (like you and me)… We can too… It’s called compatibility… I really love how you can have a photoslider in your folders… Or view them as mini thumbnails… It’s great… And The error handling scripts done for XP are brilliant… I have YET to see my XP lock up… That’s impressive to me… _shrugs_… Maybe I’m just a Microsoft Whore but hey… I think they make \*\*\*\* good software. Computers don’t ship out other software to go along with their computer because it would probably confuse too many people… And the sheer reason Windows succeeds is because it’s easy for someone to plop down in their new computer and screw around. ---

Why is everyone so quick to start an OS opinion war? Some people like Macs, some people like Linux, some people like Windows. It will always be that way, no point in starting an argument over it. I personally love windows XP, but I will admit that on some systems I have noticed it runs like crap. On mine it doesn’t. I also love the OSX for Macs… it is incredible. As for Browsers… I love NS7 and I love IE. I am partial to pretty much anything, if it works, I am for it 😉 Oh yeah… and as Marz said… > It’s great… And The error handling scripts done for XP are brilliant… I have YET to see my XP lock up… That’s impressive to me… Same here 100%. I have had no problems due to the OS itself since I have gotten XP. But my friend installed XP and it crashed all the time. It is weird, but it is going to be like that with ANY software or OS, no matter what platform. ---

Yeah man… I was just trying to give in a little juice to Xp… To make people see it’s not as bad as they think… Yeah… I’ll agree wiht you though… > _posted by dreamy lostinbeta_ > Why is everyone so quick to start an OS opinion war?
