Whoops, found one little annoyance, it seems I can't install SP1 because I have a dutch lang pack installed (I installed the english version of Vista, prefer that to the dutch version)
Please do go on, I have to note though, I'm using it at home. Haven't had any of the aforementioned problems, but I always like to hear about problems (and if possible their solutions).
I'm not a fan of MS either though, dislike some products, hate some of the business practices (- Did I spell this right, dutch man here), but overall I have had a rock stable installation going here. Longest uptime before I wanted to reboot (not that it was needed at the time) was 61.25 days. For MS, this is impressive.
Sorry if I seemed to snap at you, didn't mean for it to come out that way:)
1. Friend of mine had this problem, quite annoying. She had to open a cmd prompt, register 2 dlls and leave the cmd open during install, that fixed it. 2. Don't use IE, so not a problem for me 3. I had 1-2 as well, changed a bios setting and it's been rockstable ever since 4. Haven't done that, but file transfer speeds have been ok-ish so far, hope they will go faster after sp1 5. Haven't had that experience and some of the stuff I do is pretty heavy, big files, media editing, heavy games, etc 6. I switched to the classic win2000 look, no aero in my windows, no sirree 7. Not really a problem, 24" screen with 1920x1200 resolution helps:)
Only gripe so far is that Assassin's Creed crashed periodically, but Vista keeps on running. Longest uptime til I wanted to reboot, 61 days non stop.
More importantly, I hope your wife is doing ok:) With mentioning medical bills and this trip to the doctor/hospital, I'm thinking that she isn't (I just hope I'm wrong)
This really makes me smile, I'm not in the US, but I follow the news on these kinds of cases (mostly on Slashdot), if only this would get more mainstream coverage.
While you are correct, the making of backups and often also explaining the concept can't be mentioned enough. I say this, not to complain about the woman, I just want more people to make backups of their stuff (it would save me a lot of work and it would save them a lot of worries)
I had students adjust the clock many times to the wrong year and that flagged the WGA to see Windows as counterfeit every time. All I say is "Thank god for Reborn cards"
Slashdot Mirror
Same here, very nice options, nice and clear as well.
I think Robin Williams (the comic) coined that phrase :)
yay I won in 6 turns, scoring 100/100 points :D
Well at least you got your priorities straight, keep up the good work. ;)
We like our databases here
Being dutch, this is what happened and I feel damn sorry for those people and for our soldiers.
:(
This was a huge tragic fuck up.
Dutch part: Ik hoop dat de soldaten hier over heen kunnen komen
Ok just installed SP1, took a long time but I was told that on the first screen. :)
Everything working so far, thank goodness
Have a good one dude

Keep dealing in absolutes buddy, I am using it right now, it isn't bad, really it isn't.
With the way the dollar is dropping in comparison to our euros, that's about 3.50 :)

You signed up but still post as an anonymous coward, the irony :)

I have a rich imagination ;)
Heh, I usually think Aw shit then, but that's just me :)
Well, I would say (for US based news channels), CNN, NBC, etc.
:)
But that's hoping for too much I'm afraid.
P.S. To Newyorkcountrylawyer, great work you're doing, please keep it up

I got a quite modern comp and still have a floppy drive :P :D
I was even thinking about plugging in an old 5 1/4" drive, just for fun
AOL cd's then? ;)
Nope, V for Vengeance (good movie)
:D
P.S. Deathnote is FANTASTIC!
I dunno, now it will be a breeding ground for signing deaf terrorists ;)

Congrats on getting hitched, may you have a happy marriage ^_^

And set their knees on fire, just for irony?
