I like how you're so outraged about something so simple. Do you throw a hissy fit whenever you click "Start" to shut down?

I know it's different, but it is akin to the old File menu. The new Ribbon interface has casualties for the sake of simplicity. The interface is GREATLY improved. They could have put the old "File" functions (new, open, save, print) in a ribbon, but they're too important. It makes SENSE. It takes all of 10 seconds to realise and grasp. I normally hate microsoft, I'm a faithful ubuntu user, but they got office 2007 right! it's one of the best pieces of software around.
My setup: Fast computer, so vista doesn't slow down at all. I run vista natively, and XP in a VM inside ubuntu.
6 months on, I still find Vista a pain to use. Everything isn't where you'd expect it. Aero is HORRIBLE. I'm sorry, but there's no way any theming can beat bevels in terms of usability. Aero is nice if you have one, maybe 2 apps open, and they're not maximised. Anything else and it's almost impossible to decern controls, windows, etc. It looks good, but its much slower to use.
And the "classic" theme is pants. They ruined it completely.
The UAC stuff is pretty badly done. You have to go through about 3 dialogs just to overwrite files in a system area. I'm fine with the UAC _idea_, but ubuntu does it so much better.
And really, I don't see any particular benefits over XP. XP was easier to use and runs all my applications. I'm only using Vista because sooner or later, people WON'T make apps for XP.
Its a complete joke.

Of course. Because capitalisation changes the meaning in some cases, e.g. nm -> Nm

clear:both; will clear both left and right floated divs.
What the hell? Even when I select "plain old text" it doesn't use it. Nice one, slashdot! Using [] for tags. Ghod I hate new
If you have two columns
[div id="menu"]...[/div]
[div id="content"]...[/div]
and menu is "float: left;", then adding a footer is super easy
[div id="footer"]...[/div]
and set "clear: left;"
is that what you mean?
