Why?

In any event, hiding the dialogs when GIMP loses focus makes a hell of a lot more sense than dialogs that won’t minimize or hide at all. When I want to see the desktop, I want to see it without any stupid unhideable dialogs in the way.

I don’t want a single window mode. I want the things I mentioned. Unless I maximize the window, and then perhaps yes a single-window mode would be better than letting the floating palettes overlap the image window.

With what TheRaven64 said ... "It's also worth noting that this doesn't affect 64-bit kernels for the very simple reason that they don't support 16-bit compatibility and so don't have the affected subsystem." I have no doubts there are other exploits and flaws in my 64bit version. Just this one specifically affects the 32bit version.

Well the article says that Microsoft was notified of this bug June 2009. Guess they feel it isn't that big of a threat if they haven't patched it as of yet. But then again that's nothing new. Guess I'm glad I run 64bit.

I got my closed beta access, just gotta wait to get off work to download and try it. The only other game I'm excited about is the upcoming Lego Universe.

I found it's hard to find an intel chip that's best bang for your buck. I ended up going from a Athlon x2 6000 to a intel e5200 at the time was the closest in price. Though I wanted to build a hackintosh which didn't last too long. Next step is going back to AMD as I should have stuck with in the first place.
