Build 10031
All that remains is for Microsoft to deliver on their promise of a faster
cycle of build releases for Insiders, which should mean we will get to play around with a new build sometime in the coming week. www.neowin.net |

Course, our customer's won't switch (Quickbooks, Office, etc.), so we just have to do and hold our nose Did M$ really bring Metro back? Me thinks I will need a larger cloths pin for my nose! |

It made a 450MB recovery partition (for booting to Command Prompt). As for the UI, I tried to start an application and got a "spinning wheel of death". My command to start a program was not obeyed. I shut down the OS and disconnected the hard drive. Hey, Microsoft! It's my computer. You can't have it. If I want a "spinning wheel of death" as my companion, I'll buy a Mac. The sad part is, the computer is a hex core, and many times, the CPU is doing nothing, and the GUI is giving me the finger. What kind of a stupid design is that ? Is the intent to take the best CPUs, and make them run with tablet lethargy ? Profit! Paul |

I have a few Macs here that are not used often but they are good machines. Ever since they have gone "Intel" there is essentially no difference in hardware between a Mac and a PC. The operating system is simply BSD with a familiar Mac "user friendly" GUI Less face it, running Photoshop or Firefox (for example) on a Mac or on a PC is not going to be a whole lot different. Main advantage of a Mac is no Windows virus problems |

Paul My VM install does that too but on real hardware it seems to run fairly well Unfortunately, my experience was on real hardware. ******* I just tried another experiment, for fun. I ran Disk Cleanup, since the installation of 9926 is a major change (an upgrade install), there is a Windows.old folder. I had Disk Cleanup remove it. Then, did a reboot. It didn't seem to be quite as busy at startup. I was still getting the spinning wheel of death, and programs starting out of order (Task Manager managed to start before Firefox, even though I tried to start Firefox first). One other culprit I noticed, was Catalyst Control Center was rather busy. You wouldn't think a control panel software I was not even using at the moment, would be excitedly reading files, but it was. ******* Before the Disk Cleanup run, I tried a boot and looked at the performance stuff. And the disk queue was 1 and the disk was listed as running at "100%". And that's why I was getting the "spinning wheel of death". With no disk bandwidth left, the program loader refused to do anything useful. Except spin that damn wheel. I'm thinking Windows Defender is mostly to blame, but would hammering it be a fair thing to do ? Even before installing 9926, I used Task Manager with some of the optional columns turned on, to note that MsMpEng had read around 18GB of files, at the time I checked. So what I presume is Windows Defender, seems to be "always on guard". I'm proud of them, whatever they're doing. With all that polishing, my computer shure is shiny. Paul |

You can run microsoft office in linux crossover! Hi Darklight, Crossover is just another word for the Wine project, except you pay for it and get nothing of any extra value from it. I run Lotus Approach, 123, Word Pro, plus Acrobat 8 in Wine. They have severe problems. Acrobat 8 is a complete nightmare in Wine. And the Wine project can take up to five years to fix a bug, except for games, which they jump on right away. Wine is still in Alpha stage. I ran M$O Word 2003 from Wine at a customers site once. It had a number of issues. In my experience, it is better to run Libre Office on Linux that to run M$O under wine, especially now that Libre Office is so good at reading M$O's proprietary code. I wouldn't have said this a year ago about Libre Office, but they have come a long way and they actaully fix their bugs. -T |
