But it's the way the windows are managed that's breaking it up for me, searching for the right window with your photo while you're busy making a collage with 12 photo's was just a pain. Hopefully things will improve with your tips.
windows works fine here
In fact windows has worked fine here for the last 10 years
windows 98 was quite good and upgraded to XP 64bit, that one used a different Kernel than the normal version and was much more stable, skipped vista completely and now running Win7 for several years now without a hitch.
I've heard of plans of making Win8 cloud based, i don't like that idea

Diesel here is about €1.39/l.
Petrol is about €1.71/l and heading up daily.
Sunflower oil is €1.39/l.
Olive oil - just bog standard nothing special, not even extra virgin is €4.59 .
But when you think about it diesel is still cheaper, there is only 8% tax on food products right and more than half of the petrol/diesel price is Tax.....
Misschien moeten we het kwartje van Cock terug vragen

people tend to like what they know vs the unknown.
having used windoze in the past then switching to osx, I can honestly tell you I'd rather get a prostate exam from
than use windoze again.
It's just a pain that things work slightly differently then you used to, it just messes with productivity.

Also, if they can get nice small high quality IPS panels for their iToys why can't they put that into the Macbook Air or Macbook Pro range? Then I'd get one for my photography work.
Here is the MBP

If it is in front or behind it will only vignette because of how the light rays are focused.
But still many lenses wider elements then needed, just tested it with the DA*50-135 it's amazing how much you can block from the front element before it will show up.

Not only fast lenses though but the effect is most pronounce with those.
When you look at the amount of aberration you have with that lens it's no wonder the AF is off.

Also, if you are still a student then you can get very good discounts on Lightroom for your raw processing. I'm not sure about the Italian price, but for the UK education store it's just over £60. That's a LOT of software for the price!

Regarding focus shift, the picture of the camera dial and the later ones of the text were taken wide open, so no shift on stopping down.
Here is a lens.
Wide open the best point of focus is at point B since the beam is the smallest there so the sharpest but the AF can very easily see point A or C as the sharpest point since the lines cross there so you get a focus error.
Also the amount of chromatic aberration isn't helping either... it's like asking to find the sharpest point of light in a rainbow...
Also like said Phase focus isn't perfect, if the mirror, AF sensor or image sensor is slightly off the image will not be in focused.
Contrast AF is the most accurate focus since it looks at the focus on the image itself so you eliminate basically all the elements in between.
