How about some inconsistent GUI action for you?

Why are the buttons different?

LOL, yeah, the latter one looks like Classic.

That's because it is classic buttons

I notice now the random filenames. Why?

They may be classic buttons, but as you can see from the window decoration, I'm using the Windows XP theme. I just told Photo Bucket to choose random names rather than have all screwy silly names. Maybe they're just as screwy but I like it.

Yeah, that's the point, they should be XP bttons, but are classic.

And the filenames mean nothing. You gotta look for filenames that actually say something.

Yup, Windows is teh POS. Hmm, I wonder how rubbish Vista will be?

Another UI inconsistancy.

Royale colour scheme, new menu. It's black compared to white to all.

Maybe one day they can build a consistant UI. Oh wait, they did, Win 3.11 (Go on aaron, correct me, what have i missed?)

Hmm, what do you mean about the Royale UI inconsistancy?

right click on desktop, hover over new, next menu please

Oh yeah, the text doesn't change to white when you hover over it. That it just lazy. You think they would fix that.

Another annoying thing about the fonts on Windows XP...

You can change every font in the Appearance screen, yet Windows XP still wants to make use of its own fonts.

See the Remote Desktop Sharing Password window and the Run window? WHY!!??

Window in focus:

Window out of focus:

Why does it disable Cleartype in the out of focus window? (Look at the Menu bar, File, Edit, View etc.)

Erm, sorry, Aaron, I'm not sure what you're trying to show??

It would be better if font management in Windows was more like it is in Linux:

Simple pimple. Changes all fonts. No messing around.

Oh, I didn't realise you could change the fonts. I'm too lazy to bother.

Something else that annoys me in Windows XP.

I open up a large image (about 14MB, it's roughly 10000x10000). It brings up a small version OK. I want to view it in actual size. So I click on the button that lets me do that. It doesn't work, it just sits there like a dodo, so I close it down and the window gradually closes down, bit by bit, in a sort of folding motion that takes about 10 seconds, it's sort of sporadic. Then the system locks up... randomly... I am just about able to bring up the task manager only to find that the system is almost idle, using about 250MB of RAM and about 5% CPU (average), but slower than a Pentium (SLOOOOWWW).

WHY!?

Oh, yeah, pictures I take with my digital camera can't be opened in picture and fax viewer because "The image is too large. too many bytes". The thing is, it's a 12 MP camera and the images are only 4MB, which shouldn't be a problem. Instead I have to find another program to open it with.

wtf?!?!?!? it has limits?!?!?

Yup, a few MB and it's crying all the way to Bill Gates...

Nice one.

:S erm, ooook.....

Thank your lord that Windows is no longer the operating system of choice! No really, it isn't. Most vendors are now shipping primarily Linux based operating systems, and Mac's occupy at least 40% of the home computing market!

*wakes up*

LOL, daydreaming, Aaron?

i sense aaron is a very bitter man...
