Well done, Microsoft!

Under: Blog No comments

Back in the days Windows XP came out, there were thousands of people crying that it’s too heavy, unresponsive and unintuitive to work with. We remember most of them stuck to the original start menu, disabled themes and did countless optimizations to keep the most modern Windows for the time being from eating their memory. As years passed, XP became more stable than ever, but little has changed in terms of interface and the way things work.

If you look at the title, it says two different things: one is that AMD’s VISION program is really cool and trendy, while the other is quite literal and it just says that AMD VISION is hot (like more than warm). Such word riddles are often used when one (us, for example) wants to be ironic or even sarcastic, so you can expect something really mean after such title. We will get there, just read on. …read on
