no master dojo expert here... I'm teaching myself xhtml. I don't have any issues for hardware that has linux drivers written for it (video cards) and most of the hardware worked out of the box despite the lack of specific drivers. No problem upgrading to the latest verison kernel. Linux runs on more configurations than Vista will ever hope to. There will be more machines that will have Vista on it, but linux will be capable (as always) of running on it.
Every major release since 2004 of suse, ubuntu, mandrake, and knoppix have all run out of the cd with my machines (3) so far. I too have had to upgrade my nvidia drivers to have reasonably a good display, but I've had to do that with XP and Vista too. Vista also couldn't use either of my network cards, printer and scanner didn't work but drivers were available for download. Not so for the network cards. The difference? I can't see any logical reason to pay a company for software to not work with my computer, restricting my ability to use my computer as I wish.
My brother bought a Dell and has had no end of trouble. This on hardware "designed" for Vista. Don't be a mug, don't pay for beta.
The only difference being that with Vista the situation WILL improve over time, not sure the same can be said for the next version of UBER-GIJoe Linux or whatever the current popular flavour is are you?
Yes. I am sure the next version of n linux will improve over time. Hence my testimonial. I believe in open source philosophy, be that in linux/bsd/plan9/solaris/etc. I believe variety makes a better world than monopoly. I will learn/preach/teach open source until I am persuaded of a better path. More than likely I won't pay more than $70 for it.

Okay that does it! Let's make all Germans wear a black eagle on a arm-band.
The Xbox did work reasonably well. I haven't downloaded an update for it though. I was going to 'correct' this
I bet if Microsoft made all their own hardware and then locked people into only using Vista on said hardware, it would be easy as pie to get Vista configured for the hardware. What an idea! Except, of course, that the whole idea behind the PC is open hardware standards, vendor competition, and consumer choice. however I realised MS does compile reasonably good hardware.
Honestly, the way Windows (and Linux to a large extent, though it's vendor base is significantly smaller than Windows) manages to interoperate with hundreds of thousands of different vendor's drivers is pretty impressive. It's one thing to claim stability when 95% consumer configurations are identical to your test bench, it's another to have no idea what kind of cheap crazy crap consumers will install and still have comparable stability.
Huh? Windows only installs on x86 machines. I'm having trouble remembering anything of significance linux won't run on, at least to some degree. I'm sure someone will remind me. While there may be more installs of Windows out there, linux works on more configurations. Most of the installs would work reasonably well with linux. Installing new hardware sometimes does bring the horror you describe.
Except, of course, that the whole idea behind the PC is open hardware standards, vendor competition, and consumer choice.
If there were truth to this, linux would have less trouble working with the devices previously named. It works well enough in spite of little to no co-operation by the "open standards" of the PC. If linux had half the co-operation Microsoft has, the driver situation would be less prevalent. Vendor competition and consumer choice has helped, I'll give you that. Generosity of developers has too.
Okay I would pay for a track I liked if I didn't break copyright by doing so, even if I could copy it with no obvious consequences. Though the price would need to be low as reproduction is minimal for the publishers.
This was just one of my gripes with Vista (the pre-release) was it would not recognise either of my network cards! The XP drivers didn't work with it either.
The site may work better with a search function and/or a listing by hardware. Windows people without the necessary drivers may be confused by the text names.
How long does it take to evolve to the degree that some semblance of communication can be established. One way communication is what I'm thinking, in the manner of humans: "Hello world?"
It's easy to say that UAC is a bad idea... but it's a lot harder to come up with a better solution.
So go ahead, give it a shot.
The OS lies to the app that it has admin priv and puts in a sandbox away from system access? If the app then works this out and asks for the OS to get real, the OS ask for a password/phrase accompanied by a warning that this may affect the system and is a potential security risk?
You could go further and have the OS request specifics of what the app intended to do, and sandbox the change for a limited time for an error check that the change did not affect anything outside its 'claimed' use. Unweildy though.
I see far more potential in the Windows 6.x (Vista) platform then I do in any other OS or platform at the moment, but it's going to take time to get the older software up to the next level.
I do too! After this almost every body is going to realise the dog bites!
I've been running Vista RTM since release and I hardly see any UAC prompts. The only times are when I run VMware or install a program.
You want to run an application, is that okay?
That's the applications fault. Most applications shouldn't need administrative rights to run, and if they've been written properly they won't prompt. WinRAR 3.61 never prompts for me, but 3.62 has UAC prompts for everything. AFAIK "Windows XP Certified" programs require programs to be written so that they can run without elevated privileges so this is nothing new. People just assumed that everyone would run in an Administrator account and ignored those guidelines.
The OS should not allow an application to set administration rights. At worst it should fool the app to think it has admin rights. Worst.
If you follow the story through, you would realise that such men are portrayed in a bad light. Hence, Mr Crichton was saying don't be like this, it is stupid to do things because of greed.
Or he may have just been writing a enjoyable story.

Probably because barley isn't native to Australia. Try listening to quongdongs. Much easier to listen to.

Okay who on earth modded this informative? My XP drivers didn't work? it at best was interesting. Sheesh.
You can hold your breath now, I believe someone had already done it. Will I be sued if I google hacking Vista?s peechbug_1.html s /article.html (okay so this isn't hacking per se, but a crack to make your system more vulnerable. Vista 'prevents' this with it's 'impressive' security)
