Title: Is It Me .... Or .... (Win7)
Post by: Thrash on April 17, 2010, 04:37:54 AM

... is MicroSquish taking cues from Linux?
... I SWEAR, Windows 7, right to the "new taskbar", is Ubuntu

Someone back me on this ...

Windows/MS didn't combat Linux, it JOINED IT!

Quote from: Commercials

Windows listened to me; I made Windows

No, LINUX, and its following(s), made the new Windows ....

Anyone?

I think youre seeing MS add linux features, into Windows, faster than before.

Everybody follows Linux.

If you can't make good software then copy someone elses

my friend was raving about a new image capture tool he had found, when he (windows user) asked me (mac user) the name of the mac equivalent I said "yeah, we call it cmd+shift 4"

I'll happily use Linux next time, I like the command line interface

I just discovered this bit of insanity myself a few weeks ago. Also isn't it cmd+shift+3? It is on my MacBook anyway.

ctrl+alt+Print Screen has been a part of Windows for ages... Nick's friend is a lil behind the times...

Ctrl+alt+PrintScreen?
Isn't it just PrintScreen to get a bmp into the buffer? Then Ctrl+v to paste it into paintbrush or something?

yeah, that works as well... depends on what youre trying to capture...

Printscreen does the whole screen

Using ctrl and alt means it just takes a screenshot of whatever window is open.

Interesting. And Cmd+shift+4 gives you a lasso for screenshotting.

After I do the above and try to cut a section out of the bmp (or anything else, including close paint)... I get an out of memory message.

Yes, Windows, for reasons only known to it, creates a 1.4gb bmp of my screen.

I know BMPs are generally pretty bloaty, but 1.4g is insane.
