Reply to Vista Service Pack 1 Leaked, Analyzed in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Well this is only a beta after all. The real SP1 is not supposed to be released until next year, which seems like enough time to have matured into an OS worthy of adoption. It does seem like the changes would have a rather minor impact on the average user, but one thing that might not be so minor is the Windows Server 2008 kernel that will replace the current one.

Reply to Vista SP1 Beta Coming Soon? in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

Saying they both "happen" to be scheduled to be released at the same time makes it sound like a coincidence. It has been planned for quite some time that Vista SP1 would incorporate all of the kernel changes made for Windows Server 2008.

Reply to Xbox 360 Repairs to Cost Microsoft Over $1B in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

I've had mine for almost a year and it's still working, although it does freeze occasionally and has often fails to recognize certain discs. However I do know two people who got the red ring after the warranty expired, and I bet they contacted Microsoft as soon as they heard the news.

Reply to Google Keeps Tabs on Dangerous Sites in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

So....what happens when they 'flag' a site incorrectly? More money for lawyers, that's what.... False positives are an inevitability, but I doubt it would be much worse than when an anti-virus application does the same thing, both in frequency of occurrences and the owner's response. Hopefully it wouldn't be too difficult to become unflagged. I suppose those that are confirmed should have a different flag than those discovered by some heuristics.

I love the Ribbon. The big UI change might have been a problem if the options weren't so well-organized. In my opinion, a better solution than just going back to the classic menu system is to facilitate the transition by using the Interactive command reference guides found on Microsoft's website -- For Word , For Excel , <a href="http

Reply to Windows Fiji: Somewhere Between Vista and "Seven" in WinCustomize News WinCustomize Forums

To clarify my point of view.....isn't to suggest that Fiji would be a "remake" of WinME.....but a possibly unnecessary need for yet another operating system. Then why not make a comparison to a release more relevant...like Windows XP Media Center Edition? Commenting on "the rotting stench" makes it sound much worse than "possibly unnecessary". I'm a bit annoyed at this news since I thought Microsoft was finally moving away from releasing Media Center
