The PhotoShop ones are "Palette Windows" (WS_EX_PALETTEWINDOW in Win32-land) and so go with the main window and the window manager knows not to give them separate entries on the task bar and alt-tab list. However, they added this as an option somewhere in the 2.6 series, as I have it set that way.

Well, knowing Adobe, they're probably some owner-drawn hack instead.

If you open more than one image, however, GIMP gets one window per image, while Photoshop still has a single entry in the window manager.

Comment Re:All about features, not stability (Score 1) 294

windows 7 has moved backwards in this regard by making programs pinned to the task bar mix with and look nearly the same (sans buttony border) as open but minimized windows.

Which you can fix of course by unpinning everything from the task bar and creating a new toolbar and call it perhaps "Quick Launch" and put all the applications there instead of pinning them.

Comment Re:AGAIN, Sony? (Score 1) 491

If you can't see the difference between copying data and destroying it, there's no hope for you. Copying a song would be theft if you copied it from the masters and then destroyed them so that Sony (for example) had to re-record it. Sony deleted data (the "Other OS" feature.)

Actually you have to download it from MS. Also you can use Virtual PC for free on Win 7 Home, you would just need an extra XP license and to install your own VM; then you can install the integration components and have the same experience. The problem is you have to dig to find the WVPC-only download.

Dos 6.22/Win 3.11 will also work on Windows Virtual PC in Win 7. I just copied over my VPC 2007 VM and WVPC upgraded it as soon as I opened it.

And not every month requires a reboot. I reboot mostly when a software update (Windows or running software) requires it, for hardware maintenance, or for switching operating systems.

The servers at work (Server 2003) are rebooted only when WU says to.

Then there's the "shitty drivers that crash or screw up" but that's not Microsoft's fault.
