Re: Link Dump
By "pinning", I'm guessing that's the stuff above the "most used" programs in the start menu. I have Firefox, Minecraft, Paint and Dwarf Fortress. The last 3 take a while to get to through regular means, as they're on my desktop.

Re: Link Dump
Actually, by pinning we mean pinning stuff to taskbar in Win7. More info on the subject: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/windows-taskbar

Re: Link Dump
What I've got down there: Minecraft, Spiral Knights, iTunes, and Firefox, in that order. Pretty much everything I use on a regular basis.

Re: Link Dump
Ah, that... Did Vista have that? Either way, using the start menu is just habit.

Re: Link Dump
The taskbar is much faster and convenient. And Vista still had the old-school taskbar.

Re: Link Dump
I know what it's used for, I just find it ridiculous... I don't care what ya say, I hate pinned stuff.

Re: Link Dump
my personal pet peeve is ♥♥♥♥ on the desktop
that completely defeats the purpose the start menu and the taskbar; why would you minimize whatever you're doing in order to do something else?
ALSO! I ♥♥♥♥ love win7's half-window snap feature, and the fact that the shortcut for it is so goddamn easy
as a matter of fact, I just really like the way win7 lets you do window management. it's not perfect, but it's really goddamn useful.
ps: if you use the keyboard shortcut (win key + arrow) you can do it on multi-monitor setups
♥♥♥♥ baller

Re: Link Dump
I downloaded a gadget, and now all my icons are compressed into one little thing. I hit it, and all my icons pop up. It's like a useful start menu. I actually removed the taskbar and placed it where the taskbar used to be.

Re: Link Dump
New pokemon junk.At first sight, I laughed at the racism aspect, then I decided it was a silly thought, then on further inspection it actually did deal with discrimination.
