YKYAGW you WANT. Badly.

I just upgraded my laptop to its max 4 GB of RAM, and bought a 1TB external drive, to use on my multimedia PC.

YKYAGW for the lack of any good color pickers on a locked-down minimalistic windows install, you decide to find the hex value used in the background of the user information column by digging through HTML and CSS source files.

I did, and the color for the sidebar where user info is posted is #f6f5f0

couldn't you just use a screen shot and then use the Eye-dropper tool to get the exact colour?

I read that and thought "hey, good idea", then I remembered Microsoft did that in Vista and it was sung as a great new feature. They called it SpeedDrive or something.

So I ask my fellow geeks who have been around for much longer than me, just how many years has this option been available in Linux-based OSes, and why didn't I hear it as a retort when Microsoft was piping people up about it?

I said 'locked down minimal'

I can't install anything - there are no tools of the sort installed

It's called "ReadyBoost".
