UKRM on your desktop with Vista

In IE7 subscribe to

http://groups.google.co.uk/group/uk.rec.motorcycles/feed/rss_v2_0
_topics.xml?num=50

then add the 'feeds' gadget to your sidebar. Tell it to show UKRM and
"bonnet de douche" as they say in France; UKRM topics on the desktop.

 

Yeah, I'm going to spend £100 on a new, unstable, untested, pre-SP
operating system and another £60 on a RAM upgrade, then switch to a
non-compliant security nightmare of a bloated browser just so I can have
you cunts on my desktop. Not.

 

So what you whinging for then, bitch?

 

No - we could all send you pictures & you could do a collage for your
desktop.

 

Erm, it's a standard RSS feed, so no new browser or OS required, just a
simple RSS reader.

 

Yebbot... You get this level of performance:

Pfff, I get that with Win2003. It takes up to 10 seconds just to show the
right click menu on a large EXE, but only happens on EXE files. ZIP files
for example are instant.

Sometimes, deleting even a small file can make it think for 30 seconds or
more. Pisses me off it does. Didn't have this problem on 2000.
