    bellsouth.net vs. att.net

    It was included free with both DSL Extreme 3.0 and 6.0; I guess I am grandfathered in, since I am not being charged. :)

    Internet Explorer 8

    Yep, RC1 just refuses to de-install due to the fact that it cannot find certain files to copy, I have tried the search process for these files, but I was just down to about two files and some wav files. I’ll just keep RC1 on for the time being. It just takes too much time going back and forth...

    Internet Explorer 8

    I attempted to installed the full release over the RC1 on one of my systems, but just when it is in the finalizing stage of the installation it comes up with an “Installation not complete” massage. I have followed the troubleshooting script including defaulting everything back in IE, but no...

    Internet Explorer 8

    I have been testing RC IE 8 and I can state that it has improved dramatically, although I have been using Chrome for regular popular sites due to its speed and screen space, and I use Firefox for sites that I need strong security with the security enhance plug extensions and add-on’s. I have...

    Windows 7: A rebadged, much better Vista?

    Yes, a clean install. I call that "Raw" I was going to try and do an upgrade from XP next week, but I was not aware that you can't up grade from XP? First I heard of that, but I'll look into that. Thanks for letting me know.

    Windows 7: A rebadged, much better Vista?

    Windows 7 actually found the few drivers I needed by itself :up for my test system. I do have an ATI HD 2600 VGA in the test system. and an external Sound Blaster unit via USB. I have not installed any Virus protection as of yet. I did a new raw install on the unit, next week I'll do an...

    Windows 7: A rebadged, much better Vista?

    I did do a beta test on Vista and had several posts several years back on the usage results. I am using Windows 7 (32 Bit) now on one of my spare systems, and taking it through various hardware and some software tests. The beta is good till August, so with updates and additional updated...

    Windows 7: A rebadged, much better Vista?

    I totally agree with you. The "And" was just me adding my personal two cents to your statement. :) Other than perhaps the touch screen feature, the improvement to make it run faster, and perhaps less of a resource hog I agree it's not going to be that new; but MS will be marketing it as...

    Windows 7: A rebadged, much better Vista?

    Since Vista has been widely criticized for driver incompatibilities problems, not to mention having to invest in new hardware for the folks who had perfectly good working but old hardware among other things, Windows 7 will be a parachute for MS, and hopefully take away the bad impression for the...

    Windows 7: A rebadged, much better Vista?

    And instead of being a service patch for that ".1" update coding , it will be advertised and sold as a new OS for $$$ (as I mentioned in a earlier post). :)

    Windows 7: A rebadged, much better Vista?

    Windows 7 will make Vista a short lived operating system like “ME”; It’s no wonder that I as well as others have referred Vista as “ME-2”. Maybe Windows 7 will make those corporate people that have been Vista hesitant finally make the transition from XP.

    Windows 7: A rebadged, much better Vista?

    Let me see if I understand this correctly: Windows 7 (NT 6.1) will be an improvement over Vista (NT 6.0) as the .1 will note. This rewriting of the Vista code will allow it to function better than NT 6.0. Because of this effort, Microsoft feels justify giving a new name, and a new face...

    Firewall for Vista-64

    Microsoft Dropping Windows Live OneCare

    Microsoft has made an announcement that it will cancel its Windows Live OneCare PC care and security suite and replace it with a free anti-malware utility called “Morro”. That will be nice to make another free program available for anti-malware. Also I read that Microsoft is pulling the...

    Windows 7: A rebadged, much better Vista?

    Ditto :up Companies are in it for the money; it is hard to justify spending time and labor on drivers for old products since Microsoft is not paying them any money. The companies make money by forcing you to purchase a new product to be used with Vista.
