Re: can the '08 GUI be ANY crappier?

It won't solve all your problems, but Personal Menu will solve some of the issues you speak of (you will still have huge icons).

Re: Downgrading to OS2007

Downgrading to OS2007

Hi All,

After running Diablo for a month, I have given up and downgraded back to OS2007 (I didn't spend more than a day in OS2008).
