[edit] On the new version (22-Oct)

To the person who uploaded the image:

1. Please read the talk page, if one exists, before replacing an image.
2. The XP theme is crap. XP is crap. Personal opinion, yes, but it looks so unprofessional. The standard Windows look at most businesses and schools is Windows 2000-like. It's simpler, cleaner, and gray.
3. Please use the necessary advpng/optipng/pngrewrite/pngout/pngcrush utility combination to produce the smallest image size possible.

Are we showing a picture of how we think Word should look or how it initially looks to the user? DHN 19:00, 28 October 2005 (UTC)

Explain to me, if you will, how keeping the image simple does not express how it initially looks to the user? When I start Word at home, school, or on my dad's computer it looks like the picture I've given. Which is to say that on Windows 2000 (or Windows XP with "themes" disabled, as in the latter two cases), Word 2003 as it installs by default looks like what I've given. Windows XP with a visual theme is not the most common operating system in the environments where Word is most used.—Kbolino 23:05, 4 November 2005 (UTC)

I agree that the classic theme looks better, but that's hardly the point... to date, the vast majority of computer users, especially in offices where Windows XP is used even less, tend to use a classic skin. Users are far more likely to have seen the classic skin and be familiar with it than with the XP skin. Please, unless there is a good reason for changing an image from the one that was there originally, leave it alone!--Christopher 22:34, 24 January 2006 (UTC)

I updated the image, and I promise I read this page beforehand. I compressed the PNG to 31 kb, so that shouldn't be an issue. This skin looks much more professional than the normal XP theme, I think. It's mainly white, so it looks more like the classic Windows theme. If you really don't think it's suitable, revert it, and post your reasons here. TheArmadillo 23:51, 25 January 2006 (UTC)

The screenshot I uploaded of Microsoft Office Word 2003 under Windows XP was how the product is viewed after installation with all the default settings, both of Microsoft Windows XP and of Microsoft Office Word 2003. The statement that "Windows XP with a visual theme is not the most common operating system in the environments where Word is most used" is a bit tenuous, considering Word is used so widely on home PCs (and most home computer owners don't twiddle with their computers' settings beyond changing the desktop wallpaper). I felt perfectly entitled to change the image to what I did considering the only place this image was used (on the Word article) it had a big "Office Word 2003 under Windows XP" caption. If we are using the classic scheme then there is nothing to distinguish it from, say, a screenshot of it under Windows 2000 or Windows 98, even (if it installs in that operating system). I would have appreciated being notified of this image reversion as well, rather than a note to "the person who uploaded the image" on this talk page. - Mark 12:27, 24 April 2006 (UTC)

Surely uploading an image of Word using the Media Center style, one even more marginalised than other styles, defeats the point? There are bigger things to worry about admittedly! - but wasn't the reason we were sticking with the Classic theme because it was the most ubiquitously recognisable Windows theme at present? 99.9% of computer users will never have seen the Media Center style, and it looks out of place. --86.131.52.242 21:28, 9 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Six Flags Magic Mountain

              "Hey Nancy I can't wait until we go to Six Flags

Magic Mountain!" I said."I know me to!" said Nancy

When I first went to Six Flags Magic Mountain it was really fun.I

got on lots of rides, played games, and won cool

prizes, and I even got to watch the show out on the street.It was

such a fun day.

               I got on many rides.From small rides to big rides

and wet rides.when we first got there it was so hot so

we decided to get on a water ride.When we were waiting in line to

get on Superman I was so scared because 

that ride goes 100 miles in 7 seconds! I was terrified but at the

end I liked it and Iwanted to get on again.I also 

got on other rides such as Mini Rollercoaster, Teacups, Gravity

Spin,Batman, Tatsu, Viper, Scream, Galith, and 

others.My favorite ride was Galith because it is crazy and fun.

            I also played lots of games and won cool prizes. I

played Boardwalk Bowling,my favorite game, and I

won a big Spongebob bear for winning that game.Other games I played'

were racing, shooting balloons, and 

shooting teeth off.I won 5 different prizes.I won Spongebob, Tweety

bird, Bugs Bunny,  carebear, and another 

Spongebob.My favorite game was Boardwalk Bowling because it's

really fun and easy to play. My favorite

prize was the big Spongebob because I am a huge Spongebob fan.

           Last but not least we watched the street show.The street

show started right  when we got off Batman. I 

was really happy when the show started, especially when I saw

Spongebob. I saw lot of cartoons and lots of 

heroes that I admire.When the show was over I was sad because they

left.The best part of the show was when

Spongebob came out because I love Spongebob.

          Six Flags Magic Mountain change me because it helped me

be adventerous, outgoing, and not to be 

afraid.It also teached me not to be scared of big rides. Six Flags

Magic Mountain was a great experience to

me.You should go and try it.You will also like it as much as I did.
