| 793769 | 2009-07-24 10:37:00 | Could it be that the objective is to sell more copies of Win& - and not to altruistically provide useful features? I am still trying it - and it is sorely trying my patience ;) |

| 793770 | 2009-07-24 11:01:00 | Could be a good incentive to do a "Home upgrade license" that supports 3x machines ! | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 793771 | 2009-07-24 13:12:00 | Why would I want 3 ex-machines? So far Win 7 seems to indicate that MS have got the scent, but the trail is a bit cold. I think I will have to give them a 7 out of ten, mostly for good spelling, but also because they are trying hard and have improved greatly since last term. Maybe by Win 12 things will be coming right? (Although, down that path lies Win 95 and that is not a totally worthy goal ;) ) |

| 793772 | 2009-07-24 22:59:00 | that supports 3x machines Lots of places I go have 3 or more PC's - that package deal could be a good Idea. Many people still think if they buy 1 license they can put it on multi PC's.But as we know unless its a multi user license they are not allowed. |

| 793773 | 2009-07-24 23:23:00 | Yeah exactly .. My father wanted to purchase Office 2007 and just whack it on all the PC's, had to explain the difference between the licenses, which ones came with Outlook (Which he wants) and which ones come with Powerpoint etc etc | Chilling_Silence (9) | ||
| 793774 | 2009-07-25 14:10:00 | Hmm. Well I found out that a note on a DVD saying RC does not guarantee it is the RC. Just downloaded and installed the proper RC. It is a great deal better than the Beta, possibly I could upgrade my opinion a little. | R2x1 (4628) | ||

It is a great deal better than the Beta, possibly I could upgrade my opinion a little.Thats one reason why a person should always get the genuine software, not pirated ones , or so a called " Leaked" version from torrent sites. You never know if they have been altered or contain malware. Seen it many times so called " leaked" versions are not the real deal, MS may have made changes to the original code, even small changes can make a huge difference sometimes. |

| 793776 | 2009-07-25 23:01:00 | It's from Microsoft - they are experts in their field apparently, so how could a pirate make it worse? ;) | R2x1 (4628) | ||
| 793777 | 2009-07-25 23:17:00 | They can make it "worse" by altering the code in the OS, loading it uop with Malware. Talking about being made worse-- ubuntu 9.04 -- Bloody hell people say Windows is annoying - by default 9.04 is a pain in the backside. Almost every day (or every other day) -- it has updates for this that and the other. What about UAC in Windows-- Ubuntu has the same - you have to put in a password to make any system changes. And one really annoying thing -- When I click shutdown - whats with the damn pop up window saying you computer will shut down in 60 Seconds, and then counts down (Every time) -- I click it to shut down NOW - not in a minute. BTW- these are default settings.:groan: Sure they can be 'tweaked" to not do it - But shouldn't have to be. So its no different to any windows problems. I know Ubuntu is trying to make it so people who switch from windows will find it easier, BUT to copy the ANNOYING aspects is going to far. |

| 793778 | 2009-07-26 00:07:00 | I use Ubuntu and I find it fine? Maybe you're a litte to "comfortable" in windows. Isn't it nice being out of your comfort zone? Give Linux Mint a try. Uses Ubuntu respiratories and is mostly based on Ubuntu but it UI and overall interface is easier and more intuitive. Parents love it:) Blam |
