Process Explorer, or what ever its called
The Alpha came with it living in the task bar
I would like to bring up a few reasons why I dont like it
Number 1, thats one ugly icon, and 1 weird way of working
Number 2, the average user does not know how to stop it from auto running
Number 3, when you do figure out how to stop it from working, your taking a chance editing that file
The number one problem with Windows, it gave to many knowledgeable people ways to start programs, that the average user did not know how to stop. In other words, some creep adds a program start to the registry, and joe computer user, cuss's and swears for the next year of his life, until he figures out how to remove it. Not to mention all the virus makers that took advantage of registry auto running programs
Some day, the boot script file has to be removed, and its settings moved into the kernel, or someplace else evil people cant get to it, in the meantime, I can see lots of people trying to edit the bootscript file, and crashing their systems. And some day, hackers playing with it on purpose
But right now, I guess my complaint is, that I dont like the program, and have to remove it from every computer I set up to show Haiku to. Because every one of them ask what the icon is, and why when they try to use it, they dont understand it, or how it works
Dont get me wrong, its a great program, I have a ton of respect for it. But it really does have an ugly Icon and weird way of using it. So I only use it, when I need it,, really need it
Its so great to see the birth of a new OS, and remake of the best OS ever made
I have carried the Alpha CD with me, on my body, for 5 days sense it came out. Showing it to anyone and everyone that would let me. The first thing most of them have noticed, is the lonely Icon that doesn't seem to do anything
We sell 50 computers or more, a day here where I work, and once Haiku is working a little better, I plan on asking for permission to load Haiku on bare bones, or full systems, for people to try
Maybe start selling the CD here, if the distribution idea's go that way
I really hope we can see R1 soon
But it worries me that people will be confused about apps asking to live in the task bar etc
It seems more and more applications bring up a box before starting, asking if they should live in the task bar. Kind of reminds me of Vista,,, did you want to do that ? are you sure you wanted to do that ? Are you sure you meant to say yes to that last question, about wanting to do that, etc etc etc
