I'm curious why do some people really like the windows animations when you say open or close? Open a menu or what have you. To me I want the window or menu to open as fast as possible. I don't get this. It's worse in Apple's OS. Apple's OS always annoyed me when I used to refurbish those. Waiting for those windows to animate open.

It just looks smooth. Since I can't have it on my Windows... I put it on my Linux system. :D

So far, even with the low amount of memory on this computer, it runs flawless. So... no hindrances.

Might wanna change that poll question! At the moment the only possible answer is "Yes, I do like or dislike them!" Only the totally apathetic can answer "No" :zip:

With the trend of separating UI to OS core processes, using "animations" should increase system response (logically). Though I still dumbfounded by those who disable Aero on Aero capable systems, the UI subsystem on separate sub process/hardware set is much better than GDI+ subsystem, IMHO...

I didn't realize so many love to see your windows swoosh open and close. All the pretty fading in and out. What'd you call me dunfiddlin? Just kiddin. Kinda reminds of the scene from Shaw shank. "How could you be so obutse?" I wouldn't go so far as to say I'm apathetic. I like pretty colors and animations, just not when I want instantaneous access to my folder. I just turned all that on again to see what it was like for a moment. Still annoying.;)
