| 739879 | 2009-01-18 00:42:00 | Old news prob - but one thing I discovered - W7 doesn't have an inbuilt Email program - seems MS are suggesting their Live Mail - or you have to install a third party one - personally I'll use Outlook, as bundled with Office. Slightly off topic -- Edited: HMMMMMM just got Vista to boot up in half the time - Much better - :banana Heres how - after reading this last night--- click start/type in msconfig - go to BOOT tab / advanced under " number of Processors" change it to 2 ( if dual core) only warning I read it may have affects on some old programs, by default Vista only uses 1 of the cores in a multi processor. |

| 739880 | 2009-01-18 02:52:00 | I just tried what you suggested wainuitech with the boot process even though im not running vista im running win7 have dual core processor and changed the boot time and it loads even faster on win 7 now awesome. | Hitech (9024) | ||
| 739881 | 2009-01-18 03:16:00 | You can do the same in XP as well. It shows 2 on the other PC here as well (P4 with HT) | Speedy Gonzales (78) | ||
| 739882 | 2009-01-18 03:37:00 | Just tried it on my XP home machine made no difference to boot time | gary67 (56) | ||
| 739883 | 2009-01-18 03:52:00 | Since I have a quad core - I tried changing it to boot from 4 - made no noticeable difference over the 2 - so 2 it is. | wainuitech (129) | ||
| 739884 | 2009-01-18 03:53:00 | Looks like some sites say if its a Quad, it'll cut it from 4 to 2. So, it'd cut it in 1/2 |

| 739885 | 2009-01-18 05:27:00 | I have had a look at Windows 7 Beta. My thought is that I will be buying it when released. Like any other O/S it will not be for everyone though. |
