Looking out of dirty old windows

[venta]

Coming soon... review of WGW. But in the interim, breaking news:

The latest Windows updates mean that the Windows mechanism for editing environment variables no longer sucks.

This is very exciting.

If you're me.

Everyone else, move along now :)

(Also, right-click seems to work as paste in a DOS box command prompt, which is useful but unexpected. Having spent so long being annoyed that it didn't do that, I'm constantly thrown when it does.)

We're the kids in America! Wo-ah!

Cor, is _that_ what the lyrics say?

I'm sticking with Win7 for videogames as long as possible - given how long XP lingered on after its first official end date, I hope that'll postpone the problem for a while.

(Also I can't really complain if updates break it because shiver me timbers, Jim lad, if you get my meaning...)

Environment variables: oh, that is better. It's only taken them, what, thirty years?
