Gmail's Finally Giving Windows XP And Vista The Boot

[cryoburner]

Who would even be talking about operating systems at a cocktail party? Is this some kind of IT company cocktail party? Otherwise, I can see where a lot of blank stares would be coming from. >_>

At such a cocktail party, you could ask "How do you like deskbands in Windows 7 and 10?"

I guarantee you will get blank looks.

What are deskbands?

They are dockable toolbars that can be located on all sides of your desktop allowing fast access to everything on your computer.

The ability to dock them on the three sides apart from the Taskbar was removed in Windows 7, IIRC.

Thanks for the info, I remember having that ability on XP (although I never used it).
