Done. Your excel documents now open in their own windows, no longer MDI (but you can still use MDI for some required functionality by opening one spreadsheet and then using the excel menu to open another.)
Why not? You are bound and determined to be an idiot. Asshole seems the proper response.
It should be noted that the OP made no such distinction regarding "major or minor", which is to whom my original reply was directed.
Regardless, we'll continue to walk down this little side-street you've navigated us to:
Are you actually trying to make the claim that Windows 7 is a major OS update? Because all of the little trolls seem to think, and I quote, "It's just Vista SP2 re-skinned."
As stated by Microsoft, much like SnowLeopard, Windows 7 is a refinement and optimization of the Vista platform with little change to major core functionality.
The Geneva Convention is an agreement between nations. The terrorists are not *bound* to *any* nation, and thus the convention does not apply to them as they have no part in the agreement.
The war of aggression was duly allowed by congress. In reference to Iraq, Saddam himself had used such weapons in the past and made no pretense of *not* currently having them, going so far as to disallow any way to possibly prove he did not.
The media did more politicizing than anyone in office did. Stop watching the news.
The constitution does not apply to citizens of other nations, or non-nationalized individuals. it helps to have context, doesn't it?
Of course there is: Congress is constitutionally bound from making any law that limits our freedoms or the freedoms of others unless such freedoms present a clear and present danger to ourselves or others (Read: Great Personal Injury to self, property, or others)
Following that the the issues your chose to propose are actually quite simple.
The fact that you've been modded insightful is a prime example of how this country has been railroaded into crushing social welfare, outrageous taxes, and wars that aren't wars.
My post was *only* to argue that a Win7 install was much closer to that of other popular OSes than the 20GB remark made by the OP.
You are the one trying to turn this into a Linux vs. Windows flame-war, as evidenced by your complete inability to cease trying to make such comparisons, even after having my complete lack of interested literally spelled out to you....and then you go and misquote me.
Yeah, you're not a troll, you're a child. My mistake.
Go troll somewhere else. I am not going to waste my time arguing about an OS I will never use or care about
Funny how you can always draw out the fanboys just by the mere mention of a specific OS. God forbid you use the OS to make a point, suddenly their frothing at the mouth making assess out of themselves...
Just an FYI: Windows is far from naked. Remember all those lawsuits?
1.) DRM isn't *our* choice, but it's nice to have *some* support for it in the OS right off the bat, in case we do want to use some protected content.
2.) Try accessing it. You'll find out soon enough?
3.) It would be nice....but keep dreaming.
4.) The only people complaining about the DRM in windows are those who somehow, erroneously believe it's there to *limit* your use of the computer (Proving they have no idea what they are talking about). If the DRM support were loading at inopportune times, people who've actually *used* the OS would notice and they would be posting details specific enough for MSFT to try and start working on what's going wrong.
It runs well. I limit myself to only having one or two apps open at a time, easily accessed from their pinned locations on the taskbar, so the RAM limitation doesn't really make much of an issue (and is more a hardware limitation than an OS one).
This machine is a basic browsing/internet or basic "windows games" machine. The filesystem doesn't matter, and the UI is... *shrug*.
Point is, it works on this machine, whereas it's predecessor did not.
"DRM Restrictions" is a keyword for the other trolls to jump in and agree, and to shout down anyone who brings up the fact that DRM support has Zero effect on anything but playing back supported content.
I have no DRM protected content on my system. How does it affect me?
I suppose, if I had some of that content, it might actually *work* on my system, since support is built-in to the OS...
Seriously. Point me to *one* reference point for DRM "intertwining" in VIsta or Windows 7 that isn't simple support for certain types of protected content that only runs when needed.
DRM. In case you were unaware (read: ignorant), the DRM in Vista (and Windows 7) is only there to support playback of protected content and is not active *AT ALL* when playing unprotected content.
"Breaks device drivers" No, that would be the new driver model, which has everything to do with moving it out of the kernel space and into the user-space to avoid Blue-Screens, and nothing to do with DRM. (DRM would be far easier to make "unbreakable" by keeping the drivers in the kernel space and hardening them)
Slashdot Mirror
Ah.
Work-around:
If opening the script by itself loads a blank worksheet:
Click tools - share workbook - allow changes by more than one user at the same time.
If it does not open to a blank worksheet:
Hit new...follow the instructions above, and save over your existing (or rename it something similar).
You should now be able to open a virtually unlimited number of instances of this file without generating "file in use" messages.
Hope this helps!
Was this caused by the hack, or was it occurring prior?

You, sir, are ignorant. Follow the link and educate yourself.
Just in case you don't have the motivation:
Windows 3.1: 1990
Windows NT: 1993
Windows 95: (*gasp*) 1995
Windows NT 4: 1996
Windows 98: 1998
Windows ME/2000: 2000
Windows XP: 2001
In order: 3, 2, 1, 2, 2, 2, 1.
Desktop OS: 5, 3, 3
Business OS: 3, 4
3 years is pretty average, genius.

Why?
Would there be any point to it?
A 3 year development process is a "rush to market"?
Please describe your basis for such a conclusion as Vista was the only OS not to fit that bill.
Distort the facts much?

7.[insert random number here] GB, but this includes the hard links in the winsxs(?) folder thus counting twice in the space.
According to Windows 7 Engineering's Blog, the actual footprint is between 4 and 5GB.
It might be worth a shot just to see how it installs on an 8GB drive. (And the reported footprint when done)
*yawn*

Seen any of that?
Anywhere?
Didn't think so.
My point was that Windows doesn't take 20GB, and isn't that far off from the popular Linux distro.
Thanks for your help.
Next time, try and lose the attitude though. :)
Funny...just installed Windows 7 in a VM here...
Winkey-E

Fonts...
All there, no pop-ups.
Funny how that works just like it did in Windows 95....
Quite. Fitting name, indeed.

You'll never get an answer.
"DRM Restrictions" is a keyword for the other trolls to jump in and agree, and to shout down anyone who brings up the fact that DRM support has Zero effect on anything but playing back supported content.
...
or drag it into the "fonts" folder in the "Windows Directory"??
Really..this has worked the same way since Windows 95 .... Sheesh.
DRM?
Where?
I have no DRM protected content on my system. How does it affect me?
I suppose, if I had some of that content, it might actually *work* on my system, since support is built-in to the OS...
Seriously. Point me to *one* reference point for DRM "intertwining" in VIsta or Windows 7 that isn't simple support for certain types of protected content that only runs when needed.
Otherwise, kindly shut the hell up.

Enjoy.
HP Pavilion ze2000.
1.6Ghz (Single Core, 32-bit).
1GB RAM.
ATI Mobility 200.
Installed Windows 7.
Aero enabled. Runs smoothly.
Hardly an Acer Ferrari.
Slysoft. Virtual CloneDrive. Works in both 32 and 64 bit flavors of Windows 7 (After the unmentioned reboot).
Turns out the DRM is for support only, and affects nothing but the playback of protected content.
I guess there's worse things to be wrong about...
Nitwit.
The DRM in Vista (and 7) Support playback of protected content and is not active at any other time.
If you get "protected content" it's because the DRM support for that type of protection is not available on your system.
Wow...lots of folks out here needing clues today. I'm all out, anyone else got a spare for this guy?
Idiot.
What else is there to say?
Need I point out the bits that make it so?
DRM. In case you were unaware (read: ignorant), the DRM in Vista (and Windows 7) is only there to support playback of protected content and is not active *AT ALL* when playing unprotected content.
"Breaks device drivers" No, that would be the new driver model, which has everything to do with moving it out of the kernel space and into the user-space to avoid Blue-Screens, and nothing to do with DRM.

For a troll, you're not even cute. Just dumb.
