No clue what you are talking about.

If you have no idea what "Aero" is, you are basically clueless and
shouldn't be opining on this issue.

As I said before, Aero is crippled in Windows 7 when using a white
on black color scheme. In fact it does not work the same. Please
get a clue before you post ignorant inexperienced nonsense.

Hopefully you can see that I wrote "white on black color scheme".
Hopefully you do know what that means and hopefully you can test
that for yourself instead of continuously babbling cluelessness.

So please do it before further embarrassing yourself.

And if you're just trolling for answers... You're welcome.

Another thing it does right is sleep/hibernation. Doesn't work here
in Windows 7. Works fine in Windows 8.


Aero features continued in Win8
- Hardware Acceleration
- Aero Peak
- Windows animation
- Aero Snap
- Aero Shake
- Live Taskbar Thumbnail

The last is slightly different. It's no longer a static preview but
updated along with the window itself.


Live Taskbar Thumbnail looks and acts exactly the same on my Win 8 and
Win 7 machines.

My brother and mother-in-law both have Gateway laptops, and they both
have a static preview by default.

I'm pretty sure there is a Aero setting to change that.

Sorry, your cross-posting trolling won't work on me.

Works just fine on my Win 7 machines.

Works fine in Ubuntu and Mint too. Hibernation seems to be more
dependent on hardware and BIOS settings than operating systems.

I'm talking about the difference between Windows 7 and Windows 8
on precisely the same system.

Don't get me wrong... I could not care less whether you use
Windows 8 or not. A Microsoft salesman is one of the last things I
would be. As anybody who knows me knows, I am not in any way a
friend of Microsoft. I'm just stating the facts as I see them as
an expert Windows user.

As all my computers now have SSDs as their main drives, I don't
routinely use hibernation, but I have had it working on Windows 7,
Windows 8, and a few Linux distros. If a computer is capable of
hibernation (apparently not all are) it seems equally happy regardless
of the operating system.

If you want really instant recall, fit a solid state drive to an Intel
i5 laptop and use sleep mode, linked to the lid switch. Mine's ready
to go before I've completely opened the lid.

I don't doubt that I could get hibernation working on Windows 7,
but I don't have to do anything in Windows 8, it just works. In
Windows 7, the screen goes blank but the CPU does not shut off. In
Windows 8, it mostly shuts the system down while saving my place.

This is a Windows 8 newsgroup... The trolling began several posts prior
by the no archive author "DK".

Reminds me of "pun wars" around the dinner table.
My father-in-law was in radio then a PR person and was quick witted, had
a hell of a good way with words. We would try our best to out pun him.
It was great fun.

Why keep statistics you'll never read, about every app on the PC?
Tracking this takes resources, that is why you only run perfmon or
resource monitor when needed, and not 100% of the time. This "TAB" is
doing that constantly; I like to run a tight ship when I can...

This kind of statistic doesn't consume much in the way of resources, since
the tally is simply a registry entry that gets read when you pull up Task
Manager. The "running CPU monitor" takes up far more system resources, and
it's been around for almost as long as Windows (I don't recall if Windows
1.0 had the running monitor). Most folks would probably get more done if
they used Task Manger less... ;-)
