    I have never been refused activation by MS. Have you?

    What probably happened is they thought he had an illegal copy. Changing the date and time is an old trick to fool activation. It worked on Windows XP as well back in the day at one point. What they did was probably on purpose instead of calling the guy a thief. Wether or not this is a real...

    Xbox 360 Core Refurb $218

    Gamestop has those units for $199 online. All of the gamestops in my area are around $270 with no hard drive and 1 wireless controller. They are usd systems too, not refurbs. (I was told there is a difference by multiple stores) I did not care about the wireless controller, I don't care...

    Confirmation of stealth Windows Update

    This is why you use a patching solution with automatic updates turned off on every machine until you are ready. Plain and simple. It has always been good policy for corporations to not rely on other companies for their patching requirements. This has been simple to do for a long time now with...

    Apple OS uses less memory then vista?

    I am just curious if the systems you are comparing are the ones in your sig. Does the AMD system have Vista?

    Why do people hate Vista?

    Just becuase it is using disk space does not make it a hog. It just uses disk space. Some of the articles you quoted had specific mention of Windows ME version of System restore. It all boils down to, if your performance is lagging (because of disk space) then delete you r restore points...

    Why do people hate Vista?

    So your proof that system restore is a resource hog are articles that say when your low on disk space, delete the system restore points to clear up some disk space, thus improving performance? The real cause of the slow down was not system restore, but the lack of disk space.

    Windows is just not ready for the desktop

    I guess I don't see the problem with a c:\crappy programs folder that you install it to, or install it to your own userspace if it is not working out for you, as long as they are kept together. If you want to change folders permissions in Program Files, go ahead. I have seen it abused way to...

    Windows is just not ready for the desktop

    They are not horrible suggestions at all and note I said only if your comfortable with it. Nesting permissions is a nightmare and should be avoided if you can as it can quickly get out of control. Also note I have exactly 2 programs that do this. I also said only for things that you need to...

    Windows is just not ready for the desktop

    Alot of UAC is all about user rights. I would actually recommend something like this: *** If you are comfortable with this ONLY If the icons are in the all user folder and you really are constantly renaming them (for whatever reason, I don't know, people do weird stuff). Give yourself...

    Vista: Turn off full row select in details mode ?

    You can also turn on a checkbox that only shows up to the left of the file that you are on. It stays there if you check the box. That is one way to select multiple files. I cannot tell you how to do that, as I am not at home. I have it turned on and that is how I select files now. I also...

    Dell's Vista Basic is different than the Retail Version?

    I hate Windows Vista file associations dialog ***MOD LOCK THREAD***

    Meanwhile, you have totally ignored my posts asking what is so special about the advanced button as opposed to the change button and default browser information. You have also blamed Vista for a 3rd party install problem. I guess you never read his tag also.

    I hate Windows Vista file associations dialog ***MOD LOCK THREAD***

    So what you are really trying to say is that YOU cannot use a tool that you used in XP in Vista to fix 3rd party install problems? This is the core of the problem. FIREFOX INSTALL SCREWED UP ON YOUR MACHINE. Deal with it an move on. Isn't there a setting in Firefox (I don't know as I...

    I hate Windows Vista file associations dialog ***MOD LOCK THREAD***

    I guess I still don't get it. To associate a file, you do not need to go into the advanced tab. The advanced tab has more information. Such as what to do with it like open. That is not even a pull down, you need to know the actions to take and type it in. To fix associations, just browse to...

    I hate Windows Vista file associations dialog ***MOD LOCK THREAD***

    I still don't know why you would use that. I know what your talking about, but besides matching an extension to a program, what do you actually use it for? There really is no use for that feature in XP. Have you really edited that stuff beyond the default open? I suppose you can make an...

    I hate Windows Vista file associations dialog ***MOD LOCK THREAD***

    Correction: Some application install does not register itself properly on installation. This should be fixed at the source, not hacked by users. the fact of the matter is, the application DID NOT install itself correctly. Now, the MSN messenger thing, I agree, it should use the default...

    Vista vs XP gaming benchmarks

    That makes sense. Do you ever get drastic framerate drops at all? Like down to 10-15 fps?

    Vista vs XP gaming benchmarks

    I am not sure what you are referring to as not good enough for gaming. Are they not good enough for benchmarking? All of them are pretty close. I would say that is good performance for around 3 months of optimisations compared to years on XP. I think you are too caught up in the...

    6-4-07 DRAM chipmakers suffer worst quarter since 2001 on lackluster Vista sales

    I do not have any proof of this, but my feeling is that this is to catch pirated copies. You find a code on the internet, put it in and it gets activated. Your Asus MB goes bad 6 months later and you buy an Abit MB, activate again with the same number and bang, it won't let you. Now if it...

    Change is a scary thing. The same thing happened in Win98 to 2k, 2k to XP. People like to use stuff they are comfortable with.

    The problem is, it doesn't piss me off. It makes people make an uninformed decision. I could care less what you like or don't like, or what you use on a daily basis. Just use facts when you talking about things. When you say you where only paying 1/2 attention and you caught the last 10...

    6-4-07 DRAM chipmakers suffer worst quarter since 2001 on lackluster Vista sales

    Remember, you are talking about slim margins and customers who will buy someone else's computer that is $10 cheaper instead of your own. BTW, I don't see the option for Windows XP yet.

    6-4-07 DRAM chipmakers suffer worst quarter since 2001 on lackluster Vista sales

    What is sad is that everyone is spreading half truths, uninformed opinions, and downright lies about Vista. Some of us are tired of it and are calling people out on it. While Vista may have it's problems, it certainly is no where near the crap that gets spouted by some people. If you...

    6-4-07 DRAM chipmakers suffer worst quarter since 2001 on lackluster Vista sales

    So you only heard the last 10 minutes and were only 1/2 listening so you decided to come in here with your 5 minutes of information as fact? Not to mention, that 5 minutes probably had 10 minutes of intro that told you exactly what was happening. You really need to get better material then that.

    6-4-07 DRAM chipmakers suffer worst quarter since 2001 on lackluster Vista sales

    Actually it is quite the opposite. Dell has a market for those $299 and $399 machines. It was a very wise business decision, despite what you want to make out of it. They have 3 things they can do: 1. Add the required HW and raise the price 2. Put Vista on there anyways and pay the...

    Budget barebones system for kids - need advice

    My main computer right now is a Dell.. I do both, buy Dell and build my own, where it makes sense for me. My Dell is pretty upgradable to be honest. Has 4 Memory slots, uses DDR2, has PCI Express, SATA. Also, the way things go for when I upgrade, it seems about 1/2 the time, I end up...

    Updates at boot-up

    It depends on what is happening. Windows updates can be done at logoff. However, it all depends on policy. If they are using Group Policy and updating application through software installation (in GPO) then it will happen before you log on. I tend not to think this is what is happening...

    My first SFF - advice needed

    Do you want a compelte system with monitor? I just posted specs here. Swap out the CPU and add a graphics card if needed. Pretty inexpensive with the Q-Pack case. With a X2 processor I think the price would be around $350 + shipping. That is using the onbard graphics. It has a PCI Express...

    Windows Vista, worse than Windows Me?

    I think you may have finally asked the real question: Is there a problem with HP laptops and Vista? Or is there a problem with laptops in general and Vista? My experience with Vista has been on Desktops. I wonder if the mobile stuff is causeing some of the complaints about slowdowns.
