I have Installed the latest build of longhorn and I must say it is very nice. The only problem is that it is still in the Alpha stage of development and therefore has lots of bugs. It is also a memory-hog so you have to make sure you have plenty of RAM if you wish to run it. I would not recommend using it as your primary OS as it is unpredictable and errors can pop up out of nowhere and completely screw your system over. -gm

Hmmm... I think windows longhorn is still on testing purposes... I'm still using Windows XP Pro Sp2... and planning to switch to linux... What kind of linux distribution can you recommend? I need it to be user friendly to beginners like me. Can you recommend something?

What kind of linux distribution can you recommend? I need it to be user friendly to beginners like me. Can you recommend something? Try to search other forums. For starters, SuSE, Mandrake, Fedora and so on and so forth. Try to find some free time to consult with the ever friendly and smart google, and you will be surprised how easy it is to find the information about Linux. You will also find numerous "my dad is stronger than yours" conversations, but you can safely ignore them and try out different distros until you find one to your liking. It surely takes some time for Longhorn to grow to the production phase. It better be good and worth the wait for all those needy creatures.

After 18 Years Windows 3.1 Is Officially Retired
(14) Wow is all I have to say just because of the fact I thought they gave up giving licenses for this
old, outdated, slow, useless operating system. I guess not as November 1st, 2008 Windows 3.1 is
officially dead and the funny thing is didn't support for this operating system end at windows
98 or something like that? Either way I wonder when they will stop issuing liscenses for 95, 98,
ME, 2000 because those operating systems are just as outdated and can not even run most of the web
technologies that ae out there today and so if your going to cut off support you might....
7 Lessons Windows 7 Can Learn From Os X
(3) Another interesting article I came across today thanks to digg and it would seem that the points are
right and I would think most people would agree with them even though this is in the eyes of an
Apple user. 1. Easier product versions QUOTE Keep it simple, please Microsoft. Having too many
different versions of your product is too confusing for the buying public to understand. Should they
go for the Home, the Professional or the Ultimate version? Vista shipped in six different editions,
while OS X 10.5 Leopard came in just one (if you forget the server edition). ....
Linux Ubuntu Vs Windows Vista
Discussion on which OS is better, Vista or Ubuntu. (4) A few weeks ago, i downloaded a live-cd for Linux Ubuntu 8.4 and booted it from the cd. It was not
as bad as i had thought (although i had trouble booting /dry.gif" style="vertical-align:middle"

Top 10 Things To Look Forward To In Windows 7

was the most useless feature and a memory waster as well, because every time I started up vista the
memory would spike when it was loading that sidebar and besides I close it most of the time anyway
because of how useless it really was. 9. Old school programs get the respect they deserve To be
quite honest I am glad they are at least updating these programs, even if it is just....

is not in those programs; so I select Choose Program; again Excel is not in the Recommended Programs
nor in the Other Programs. I click Browse and I go to where Excel is installed and I select the exe,
but after I click Ok nothing happens, I mean Excel doesn't appear in Recommended Programs like
it should. So my question is this: is there any way to force xls files to open ....
Windows Vista: Disabling Login Screen
officially not permitted, is there a way around? (5) Hi all, I'm sure some of you gave a thought to this, why does Vista always show the login
screen when booting? In XP there was an option somewhere in control panel to "assume this user
always login to the computer" or something like that. That way if you used the same user 99% of the
time and wanted to keep a second user as say an administrator you could do so by setting that
option. If you ever wanted to switch to the "hidden" user you could do so with Log Off or Switch
User in Start Menu. Now this is not possible in Vista, the user is given the login screen no ma....

Windows Xp Sp2 Restarting After Some Time
(8) Hi , I dont know what happened but My system restarts after a few Minutes (at max an hour). Can
someone guess what might be wrong. It displays a System Shutdown Timer (initiated by
Administrator) and then restarts after 60 sec. This is an SP2 so I dont think its a blaster. I
have a ZoneAlarm Security Suite and it didn't detect anything. I even Scanned my Windows folder
from Kaspersky using my Second OS (Vista) but that also didn't detect anything . .. Any guesses

Windows Vista Installation Fails
(9) Hello. I tried Installing Windows Vista Home Premium today, but when it comes to the part
of the Installation where it says "Your computer will restart several times" my computer restarts
more then 40 times, and never loads after that. After like, 10-15 minutes of it being off, I switch
it back on, and it restores to XP (Witch is good because it wouldn't start up at all). I've
tried installing this 4 times altogether, and nothing. it keeps restarting continuously more then 40
times. The only time it restarts is after the BIOS loads, when switching/restar....
How Many Times Do You Reinstall Windows In A Year
There goes some useful tips about it. (32) I reinstall (restore) windows almost every 2-3 months. What about you??? Seeing the title some would
say "I do it daily" and some others "How to reinstall?". Let's see the poll results. Linuxers,
see you in other post. Reinstalling windows is a daily chore for the students studying computers.
They have to switch a lot of softwares, compilers etc etc. Windows as we know, will not tolerate a
whole lot of (Un)installations and will ultimately slow down the whole system. This is not the case
with Linux. Just consider this, I installed Red Hat WS 3(the older version whi....

Windows Xp: Explorer.exe Crashes On Certain Accounts
(9) I share a Windows XP computer with two friends, and we each have our own User Account on the
computer. Recently whenever my friends use the PC, they begin to have problems with it. For no
reason whatsoever, Windows Explorer will crash and close all the current folders that are open. I
went onto their User Accounts to see for myself (with permission, of course), and found that
Explorer would crash any time I right-clicked a File, and would also crash on occasion if I clicked

I've reformatted multiple times to make sure it wasn't just a bad install. I've updated
my drivers, they are ALL compatible with Vista. I've read it could be an issue with an April 06
Security update Microsoft released but I have no such update installed. Being a f....
