Chad:
I agree those are two ends of the sectrum and ,a s usual the truth lies somewhere in the middle. I don't allow those google thingies on any box and am alsways suspect of WHY people want to snoop. If they ask or if I can see what is being provided, no problem. But yes, I am more...
Well it's already been posted that Win2k has now received its NSA certiifcation and that only XP "embedded" has even been applied for, so no more need be said there. I certainly can't find XP listed as having hi security certification on the NSA web site.
As for the illegal software comment...
The only answer necessary is the 200 things listed as broken by MS on their web site.
OK, tell me how to fix the USB problem....the one where the keyboard works on Sp1 but not SP2 and MS is the only source for the driver.
Difficult to install ?.....it works on Win2k, SP0-4, It works on...
If you do a little research, you'll find you have to add an option d. The fact is Windows Update is patching that NT4 system as I type.
As for b....yeah me and the > 50% of coprorate america who hasn't installed XP.
Drag:
I am not complaining at all that the drivers are included. What I am complaining about is I keep getting told on this board that it's a 3rd part driver issue. It's simply not true. I am complaining about that MS broke it when they released Sp2. Here's the situation.
Win2k -...
That's good news about W2k. I remember reading about it being applied for but never saw the final announcement. I haven'tr seen anything about the desktop XP even being applied for.
Chad:
Best I can find on the web is MS applying for NSA certification not getting it. XP, not even applied for.
Bsuiness satrted doing Win2k migrations AFTER XP was already out. There's plenty of documentation on the InfoWorld site in that regard. As for the Canadian study, it's almost...
Phoienix:
Don't mix quotes from different messages and we will be OK. I have several independednt networks that I manage and some non networks. In one message I spoke of the 9 machine network "here". In a completely different message I spoke of ANOTHER example (See 12/21 12:57). Again...
Endgame:
You mistake my position when you say that I like previous versions more or less than XP. The fact is XP is an imature product. Again, in the corporate IT world, the saying goes that a MS OS is a considered a beta until SP3 is out. XPSP1 was better than Win2kSP1 and both were...
As for that new thread....in the stated example given of a single standing machine, how does one do a ghost install to a network machine when there is no network ? You keep coming up with solutions by changing the question as with the next instance.
My example never had a key flaw cause it...
As for XP's additional features....most of them annoy the crap out of me till I find out how to turn them off. My AV program automoatically updates its def files daily but I still have XP popping up annoying me about files being out of date... As for other features....whoopdedoo, it has extra...
>Sorry, but XP is built off 2K but configured correctly is faster, more secure, and an overall better OS than it's older brother 2K.<
I have seen dozens of published comparisions to the contrary and our own in house tests back up the published ones....even on dual boot boxes. Only ganme sare...
Left out security ? Are you saying my behind the hardware firewall NT4 box, which is wholly immune to any MSIE or Outlook Express vulnerability simply because those files don't exist on my box, and behind Zone Alarm Pro with every security update ever issued by MS is less secure than my WinXP...
One part of the bloat is this. With NT4 I had made a bootable CD-ROM for every box on my network. A HD got toasted, I'd plug in a new one, stick in the bootable CD (with partitioning and tape backup software) and restore the system in minutes. Now I can't walk away from such an install, I...
I read the whole thread and say a lot of "I like this" but most had no specific reasons. I have a mix of NT4, NT5.0 (Win2k) and NT5.1 (XP) on a 9 machine network and I'd say this:
1. With same software running on all 3 boxes, it invariably runs faster on NT4, 2nd fastest on NT5 and slowest...
Somebody forgot to tell Intel and Asus <g>. I always said I wuz gonna remain a SCSI guy unless 3 things changed:
1. I don't want to be able to plug in a HD cable backwards.
2. I want IDE (SATA) performance to approach that of 15k SCSI drives.
3. I don't wanna hear nuthin about Master /...
DJ:
I have a P5AD2-E Premium and twin 512 MB DDR6700 memory on its way with a P4 550 3.4 Ghz chip on the way for a X-Mas Present Buiold that I am doing for Son No. 3. I was hoping you could share your BIOS settings so as to save me a lot of trial and error on setting this ah heck up.
