Another tech support rant

Posted on Dec 29, 2004

OK, definition time.

The following links go to desktops, not “screensavers”.

Windows 95 Windows 98 Windows ME Windows 2000 Professional Windows XP Windows XP (“Classic” style)

A screensaver is what you see when you leave your system alone for a while. It’s usually a moving image of some kind, possibly with informational text, or maybe just a blank screen. It’s not the same thing as your desktop. If you call your desktop a “screen saver,” I will personally ridicule you for it.

That is all.
