I'll keep this short, because everyone's already said it before, but: the out-of-the-box Windows XP file search experience is really, truly awful. UPDATE (): Thankfully Microsoft has removed the offending "enhanced search functionality" and both the toolbar and the search engine are (gasp) fast! And that stupid XP search dog! "instant=way better" is such a ridiculously simple concept, and yet no one seems to get it!Īs an added bonus insult, searches from the toolbar actually take longer-yes, I'm saying that the using the toolbar actually slows you down further. I only care that I can literally run, read, re-run, read, and re-re-run searches from Google faster than using a single search.

Is there any excuse for this? Why does the extremely web-one-point-oh non-AJAXified Google search load instantly, while the new and fabulous AJAX-powered search require a noticeable delay? Want to know the answer? The full answer is complicated and full of technical jargon, but the short answer is this: I don't care at all why. So what did we learn today? Oh, I'm not finished yet-I'm just getting warmed up! Let's keep rolling! Why does take seven (7) full seconds to load my search results? Let me state this in unambiguous terms: it's not okay for a standard operating system feature to crash! I know, I know, ], but it's still not okay! Okay?

Alternately, live dangerously-go ahead and let go of TAB before the window appears! "What happens then," you may ask? Well, let's check out #3, shall we?ģ.

After the window appears (Not before! Don't you dare let go of TAB before this is ready!), let go of TAB,.

But I can't live with the fact that this ALT+TAB replacement is noticeably slower than the original ALT+TAB behavior! In other words, a simple one-step 'tap ALT+TAB' operation turns into the following:

Believe it or not, I could live with the fuzzy, unreadable text shown above. I've highlighted the important parts below, and no, you're not going blind-this is how it looks!Ģ.

And by that, I mean that this looks brutally ugly with ClearType on. Let's do this by the numbers:ġ. This Powertoy and Windows XP's ClearType do not play well together. The problem is: using this PowerToy is actually worse than sticking with the standard Windows XP ALT+TAB behavior. The idea is that you're given more information about each window at no cost-thus far, this sounds nice! Here's a screenshot of the Powertoy in action: Please excuse me while I rip on your creation.Īs a short introduction: this PowerToy replaces the default ALT+TAB window with a larger window that shows screenshots of each of your windows. To be fair to the original authors: I understand this was probably built off-hours as a labor of love, and I do understand a lot of work went into building this particular toy. For an example, I'll pick on the Windows XP PowerToys ALT+TAB Replacement tool. Getting to a point I'd like to make: not all productivity tools help. Once you've returned, we'll continue, okay? Just take your time. I'll leave you some time alone to grieve. I know this is incredibly outrageous, but it turns out: FoxIt PDF Reader is, in fact, not all gravy. This is something I've rarely (if ever) seen covered elsewhere: I'm here to report that, contrary to all the positive buzz, those oddball third-party products allegedly ten times better/faster/stronger than the originals do have flaws.

FoxIt is 1000% faster (and no, I'm not exaggerating-it's faster by a factor of ten).

It's already better than Adobe's ever-ballooning product in several ways: I'm using it now, and for the most part, it's fantastic. Sorry.īy now you've at least heard mention of an Acrobat Reader alternative named FoxIt. Yeah, I guess most of us aren't), you can't legally be using FoxIt.
