It was a "natural choice" as I have 4GB of RAM, new hardware, no printers, I wanted to have DX10 and no major driver issues with XP 64bit.<BR/>One of the first things I've done was disabling UAC. Disabling Hibernation required command line, what is a bit weird for such system. The most irritating issue is probably the searching system. It works great with "Control Panel" - actually makes it usable, but it tends to omit some files on my disks. So I'm forced to use self-made searching tool.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19298483.post-21852379359691836722008-07-02T14:16:00.000+02:002008-07-02T14:16:00.000+02:00I will post some stuff soon.

It will allow you to keep UAC turned on for security reasons, but greatly decrease the number of pop-ups: http://www.tweak-uac.com/<BR/><BR/>On a side note... I'm one of those people that just HAS to have the latest version of whatever software I'm running. My new computer I got in Feb 08 came with Vista Home Premium installed. I spent 3 months messing with it and started have BSOD, and other issues (Even after a fresh install of the OS and all my programs). To make a long story short... I ended up spending several hours collecting all the drivers I needed to run Windows XP on my system and reformated my harddrive and installed XP Pro. I have not had a singe BSOD or major issue since. I LOVE Windows XP!<BR/>MattAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19298483.post-34464834156243926422008-06-23T00:06:00.000+02:002008-06-23T00:06:00.000+02:00I already use Linux: the VPN that I am part of use...I already use Linux: the VPN that I am part of uses Debian Linux.<BR/><BR/>My file server uses Ubuntu Linux.<BR/><BR/>I have tried really hard to do a database development using OpenOffice.org and it SUCKS: you can't connect to more than one data source, so I can't even import some spreadsheet data into an empty database! And it's SLOOOOOOOOOOOWWWW at opening data files with any decent amount of data in it.<BR/><BR/>MySQL may be all very well as a database backend, but where is a decent FRONT-end? MS Access 97 is the best front-end I have ever found on Windows, Mac and Linux. Nothing else comes close, as far as I can tell.Donn Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07954994300802439618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19298483.post-89915384948152087702008-06-22T02:55:00.000+02:002008-06-22T02:55:00.000+02:00Time to opt out of the M$ circle of hellGive Linux...Time to opt out of the M$ circle of hell<BR/>Give Linux a shot& You will never regret it.<BR/>Nag-free computing at it's best.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
