            Dunno, Remus. Think of all the great things MS gave us! To name but one: Windows Media Player. 😉

              I was thinking the same thing! IE7, access, windows defender...the list is endless.

                Yeah, MS Vista eating 1GB of memory on a startup
                and Autodesk with crawiling Autocad 2009 with all 'handy' pallets and still, same ridiculous hatches that always are getting disassociated with polyline boundaries... 🎉 which are still editable only through pe command.. 😡 most un-friendly method ever.

                  interesting thoughts from http://forums.cgsociety.org/showpost.php?p=5455171&postcount=37

                  anyway, main question at any tool-threads of forums! - what will a future of sketchup?

                  will we see viewcube as in maya, 3dsmax, xsi now... in AD Sketchup 2008-2009? 💚

                    I wasted a lot of years of using AutoCad. Be grateful Google bought SU first.

                                      hahahaha.

                                      That clip just got me laughing out loud way too early in the morning.

                                      Damn near spit out my coffee on the last line. Instant classic, IMO.

                                        Ten years of my life using the tools of the regime.

                                        I thought nothing could truly express my sentiments. That video is spot on.
