Wow people still use Windows 98?

 

[Sar]

There's a PC in our work uses WIn '95.

Think I'll phone my local museum.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.

 

[FuzzyLogic]

Blimey, that's Microsoft buggered then.


On a side note, i'm still using me Aeris background from way back, had it for a good 7 months+ now, so no point really including it.

In fact, bugger it, i really like the pic still.

It's a bit small but doesn't look so bad anyhow.

 

[Frizz]

Also, Fuzzy, there are loads of better wallpapers of Aeris than that lil' pic of yours.

 

[Sharma]

Guh, any good theme sites anyone can reccomend for Style Xp for example and also sites with nice abstract/anime/fantasy background that fit 1600*1200 res?

:O i googled and found nuttin.

THANKS A LOT!!! i wanna try this out

 

[Sar]

Get it while you can, just found this elsewhere:

Now before I give the reason for starting this thread, let's go back a bit and find out why Y'z Dock / edited Y'z Dock installations are not allowed to be distributed now.

The author of Y'z Dock - M.Yamaguchi was contacted by Apple with a Cease & Desist Order for creating a program which perfectly emulates the Dock in Apple's OSX, as Apple own intellectual rights to the Dock created for OSX - M.Yamaguchi requested people not to distribute Y'z Dock anymore via the web and all work to be halted on it, now you know why I've created this thread - we come to the next part.

Due to the recent influx of threads reguarding on where to get/find download links to Y'z Dock, it is necessary for Neowin to show it's stance on Y'z Dock - this means NO DOWNLOAD LINKS to the files, anyone who does post download links intentionally will be warned on sight, as well as all threads being removed, also we do not support it in anyway on the forums.

I would rather prefer Apple don't come after us for having our members posting Y'z Dock download links, when we are one of the major tech news sites on the web.

Thanks.

Whats the difference between Y'z Dock and ObjectDock? Is Y'z a direct port or something? Why is ObjectDock legal?

 

[Shovel]

That's a good question.

ObjectDock is theoretically better, since it's 3D accelerated to some degree, but it crashes to buggery on my machine so I still use Yz. As for why one is legal and one not: Essentially because Apple threatened Yz (I'm under the impression that it was a very exact copy of the MacOS X Dock), while they haven't threatened ObjectDock, which is maybe not similar enough in entirety, and therefore it's just a flashy tool bar, rather than an infringement on Apple's patent.

Suppose why would you want a mac now when you can have the best feature of a mac on your PC

Must say though the Y'z version runs a hell of a lot quicker than ObjectDock on this laptop.

Josie Maran

That's a pretty big 'if' there...
