just STOP IT!

Ok, so Vista is out.
Can people PLEASE stop capitalizing on the name when doing themes, walls, etc.
It's like nails on a chalkboard seeing people use the word Vista in something when it has absolutely NOTHING to do with Vista at all. It's called Popularity Whoring. It's distasteful, vile, putrid, disgusting and could be considered a felony in several states!!   
How about a new category called "This crap has nothing to do with Vista" and put all of this PWWare in there!!!   

Somewhere, there's a semi-transparent Turtle rolling over in his grave!

Brainiac is the "Anti Vista". Long live I.R. Brainiac!!!

People were slapping "Vista" on anything and everything so they could collect download numbers


Last Aug. when the the whole vista thing was starting to become a bit manic, I uploaded 2 identical pics/logons on the same day, with slightly different presentation, one plain, Dusk....the other with Vista splathered all over it and called Bridge Vista, to compare which would be the most sought after......
plain downloads = 1150
vista downloads = 519
so much for that theory for me.....

keep 'em plain...surrounded by too may logos already......

to take it one step further.....I have a problem with places being called "Bella Vista"....I have never actually come across one of those places (or houses!) that is a "beautiful sight"...the latest is an industrial estate here......bella vista my ....!

I think that was Phoon trying to get the Vista buried

Just think soon you will be able to buy OS knockoffs such as Macroswifts Vindows Wista (an impression of Vista) for $19.99.

Not to get off the subject
Been done.
May I ask what it was that was done? you've piqued my curiosity on this one.

"It" was making blinds that are WAY different than Vista (or anything else on the planet)

I.R. seems to be pretty "out there"

What colorful responses. Always good for a giggle   
Keep in mind, the real issue at hand is not Vista Skins themselves, but the inappropriate use of the Vista name just to gain popularity.
I've nothing against a GOOD, GENUINE Vista item (although they have been beaten to death).
Imagine if you will, the Brittney & Dolphin Scenario all done up nice and purddy' on a shiny Bryce Orb (of course to match her newly found hairstyle) and naming the entire (ahem) creation something like "Vista Spearsphin", or "Vistney Flipperista".
GAD, the horror of it all....

Hmmmmmm....now if someone came up with a Dreamscene called "Boobies" I actually might be interested.

But with my luck, they would put in the Vista logo(s) in strategic areas just to make it discreet....
