I've had it on a test machine at work for a week now, I think it looks crap tbh! I wouldn't run it in an open environment either, but i suppose a home machine isn't as bad...

And why do MS insist in renaming things and moving them about

Oh give it time. I'm sure you will change your opinion.

Unless you are running it on something on par to a cray, performance will become v bad.

Are these Electric or Manual windows. Surely a Cilfford will give you good security & by the way the Krays are dead arnt they. How does your Windows effect your performance, maybe a pipes come off your turbo.
This is a car Forum so its good to get new ideas.
