I learned plenty today about Win7
I learned plenty today about Win7
I have been pouring over the Windows7 Pocket Guide and let me tell you, for a man pretty apathetic about you can't teach me new tricks, this book is full of gems!!! Trouble was I began reading it and things I hadn't thought of "got in my way" and reading about other STUFF!!! I forgot what I first wanted to know in the first place. Spent more time "under the hood" since I got Win7 weeks ago. Lots of "blind flashes of comprehension," happened all day long. )) I thought the cleantemp.bat lesson was a nice bit of magic, among others. I stopped shy of messing with the registry, which I used to be fairly comfortable doing. Thought it best not to try to accomplish everything dangerous that I didn't entirely understand. Strange though, about the cleantemp.bat magic is that after it clears the Temp folder it creates files in that folder when it's done. I was expecting a brand-spanking-empty Temp folder. ?? Best, Andy |

I learned plenty today about Win7
I learned today that is appears that Windows 7 is no better than Vista.
Buggy and defective with a browser that refuses to connect and work correctly with some pretty generic web sites as well as with RWW on Microsoft Windows Server. I also learned that Dell offers no software support on the OEM software they sell bundled with their systems. Sure their technical support policy says that they do offer limited support but in reality what they do is engage the user in a discussion of fees and payment method for their support before they will discuss anything with you. The machine and Windows 7 is going back and it appears we can not upgrade our office to Windows 7 after all because it does not connect with RWW to our SBS2003 Server. RWW is the most compelling reason for us to use Windows, and if it doesn't work then means we have to create a VPN configuration to use with RDC... and that means we can then choose OSX instead of Windows. http://support.ap.dell.com/support/t...=ap&l=en&s=gen "Andy" wrote in message ...

No problems here, no bugs, and no "defective" web browser. as well as with RWW on Microsoft Windows Server. RWW? What's that? I also learned that Dell offers no software support on the OEM software they sell bundled with their systems. Then don't buy Dell. QED. |

om... In article , says... I learned today that is appears that Windows 7 is no better than Vista. Buggy and defective with a browser that refuses to connect and work correctly with some pretty generic web sites as well as with RWW on Microsoft Windows Server. Then you've done something wrong snip Agreed. And i believe that the something is that I purchased a Dell with Windows 7 I described the specific issue in a separate thread but no responses as yet. Just wanted to present a different opinion in this thread that seemed more like Microsoft propaganda than anything concrete or meaningful. Interestingly this fluff thread has attracted several responses, but my thread about an actual problem has received none. |

says... Interestingly this fluff thread has attracted several responses, but my thread about an actual problem has received none. I've been on usenet since 84, so it's nothing new to me. My reason for reading threads is based on the Subject catching my eye. I often ignore threads that appear to be simple, there are normally tons of responses for those. I don't show names/from in my Usenet client, just the thread subject and date/time (by choice).... what is the subject of your other post and I'll take a look. -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that. Trust yourself. (remove 999 for proper email address) |

: Wait till you hit Powershell, that will distract you plenty and you'll have to get a load more books! Dave-UK, I think I remember an experience like that years ago learning Perl! The members over on the Perl newsgroup were a great help and great motivators. Kinda/sorta like this placce! Best, Andy |
