Avoid Vista at workplace ?

* eSeong Network User Reviews *

* ) This is ridiculous. Microsoft needs to wake up right now, or a future PCworld article will be titled: How Vista and Arrogance Killed Microsoft.

I will Never move my company to Vista. I've been an avid supporter of Windows NT since setting up a Domain in version 3.1 (yes, there was a Windows NT 3.1). Now, if Microsoft actually fails to support XP before rolling out an acceptable replacement for Vista, I will bite the bullet and move to Ubuntu, enterprise-wide.

We're getting close to where switching entirely from Microsoft has an attractive ROI.

Vista inevitable? FAR from it!

* ) I think Microsoft should be slapped with a class action lawsuit.
The fact that they are forcing every user , corporate or personal to switch to Vista or higher and spend allot of time and $$$ is insane when there is nothing wrong with XP and XP pro. They finely got it right and now here we go again. After they actually gain back the trust of most people who went through the horror of, dear I say it (M E). Vista basically is an absolute nightmare with most hardware. Since it arrived we are now faced with paying more money on a PC that barely supports it without upgrading the system you just bought. What is wrong with this picture?? I put up with it because like most people I got sucked in thinking it is the way to go.Personally I think it is time to start thinking about migrating to Mac.They have been very patient with there product knowing this day would come.When they looked doomed years ago they kept there head above water and kept trying.My hat is off to them.

* ) As someone working in the IT branch outside the U.S. this is viewed by me as a worst-case scenario that caught the industry by surprise, because of the relatively small time frame between the launch and adaptation of Vista and the termination of XP support. This was not the case with 2000 Pro and XP as XP was available shortly after 2000 Pro had been out and the cost of an upgrade was relatively lower than from XP to Vista. In a developing country, where the majority of businesses are just now focusing on software licensing compliance, this becomes a nightmare very fast. At this stage more time and money is lost by trying to estimate what the impact of an alternative (ubuntu linux) will be for small to medium businesses. I personally am convinced that the consumers will eventually quit complaining about Vista because it's not bad (and yes, linux also has an annoying prompt that asks for a password for just about every major action but can be turned off just like in windows.

* ) if MS is dedicated to making money, then your "if you don't like it, don't buy it" shows how stupid their current position is. That's the point. I won't buy it. I personally replaced UNIX workstations and Mac desktops in 1993 with Windows NT 3.1 and I am a Microsoft Certified Instructor in their Server products. I've implemented and supported every release of MS Server and Desktop OS since then. Your juvenile defense of what Microsoft is "entitled to do" will do nothing to keep Microsoft from going down the tubes. What are they going to do when their fiercest defenders (which I have consistently been and hope to be in the future) are ready to scrap them and switch to Ubuntu or to Leopard?

By the way, how is it "whining" to point out the truth: that a company that has produced a string of great products for 15 years, and now brings out a complete dog (let me define dog for you: half as fast, needs twice as much memory, and has poor driver support) and on top of that stops selling or supporting the only desktop OS they make that actually works...how is it "whining" to point out they're being foolish and arrogant?

Downloadable Boot Discs

* eSeong Network User Reviews *

* ) Excellent information! Very helpful! I have used Puppy Linux many times when I could not get Windows to boot. I love how I can copy all of the data from the Windows hard drive to a flash drive or external hard drive. This also is how crooks get the data off of a "password-protected" laptop. Just boot into Puppy Linux, steal the data, and no one will be the wiser. This is why ALL computers with important data must have the entire hard encrypted. (try TrueCrypt)

* ) I definately recommend the Ultimate Boot Disk. I've used it for a several months now, and it works fantastic. It does have a large number of programs to choose from, and can do almost anything you can think of. I mostly have been using it for wiping and copying hard drives, but it can do so much more. The article is correct however, that it can be tricky to create. Make sure you read the instructions on the site before taking a whack at it. And yes, you do need to have your Windows disk to make it.

10 All-Purpose Laptops

* ) This list is nice. I am especially fond of the Lenovo IdeaPad Y510 Notebook PC

* ) I found it at Wal-mart for $698.00. Love it.

* ) I would never buy a Toshiba again. Mine along with many others had a design problem which caused a failure just after warrantee ended. No help except very expensive repair with uncertain results.

Play Arround with restore

* ) "If you're stuck with Vista..."

Again with the Vista bashing. Why don't you change the name to Visa-Bashing World? At least it'd be accurate.

To add injury to insult, the Vista tutorial that you linked to shows that Vista's System Restore functionality is much more full featured and robust than XP's. And despite the implication, if you just type "System Restore" in Vista's search bar, it shows up immediately in the results...it's not difficult to find.

PCWorld writers, Vista is here. Stop bashing (which is nothing more than intellectual whining) and deal with it, or go back to crappy old XP or Crappy new Leopard or nice-but-no-games Linux or whatever it is that floats your boat.

* ) System Restore in Windows XP needs to be watched to insure it is doing its job. See

Also, see

http://www.cnet.com/8301-13554_1-9750693-33.html

* ) I hate it when I read stuff like this & I'm upset someone like you taking this stance. Is it fear of the unknown? Cuz, if you do what I do to Vista, it will pretty much seem like XP, if you want another XP. Turn off UAC, Defender & MS Security Control. It's so simple, unlike XP, just Search for them in the Help & Support page found in Start Menu.
I read your articles, slamming Vista, & was terrified to get it. But I had no choice as I'm not rich but I like powerful computers. I got it, had my 2 day "OMG, what have I done?" phase & then turned off those annoying features. I use 3rd party Security programs that work better than MS's & all is great! Articles similar to yours said PSP 8 & other programs wouldn't work in Vista. WRONG! Mine work even better after turning off those things. XP started out like that too, but you apparently forget that. You need to open your mind to Vista for the readers. Not just give jilted opinions!

* ) Norton Internet Security interferes with successfully reverting to a previous restore point. I have experienced the problem myself. There is a FAQ on Symantec's site explaining the problem and how to solve it.

Here is a link to the FAQs for various editions:

HTC Beats Apple to 3G

* eSeong Network Reviews Top Topic *

* ) In the last area of where the Touch loses to the iPhone, size really doesn't matter, at least not to me. I'm not concerned with "how much" music I can listen to as I am concerned with "how" I listen to it. My current MP3 player is only 4GB. It's LIGHTYEARS better than the iPod for me because it has a bluetooth receiver built in. Since it is A2DP compatible, and my headphones are engineered as such, I have no more wires to worry about, which is why I really got it in the first place. But if having terabytes attached to your hip is important to you, so be it.

* ) a copy will always be a copy and nothing more, yes it launched a month before iphone but iphone was anounced years before that, plenty of time to copy the apples touch, and apple always takes her time to polish up its products, im glad she does.
ps: even windows is a copy of MacOS Classic(1984)

* ) Hope this in not another phone which does everything but does not ring when a call comes in. I was one among the many sprint touch users who are still having hard time with touch, and no one's talking abt the so called firmware update which is due q1 2008. And here if we were are talking about competing with an iphone, atleast put in a 3.5 mm jack in there so that we dont have walk around with a bunch of clumsy convertors attached to the phone.

* ) Chip, how long do we have to hear this garbage? Microsoft and IBM collaborated on what became OS/2 for IBM and NT for Microsoft, but what sold was Windows 95/98 which were Mac OS knockoff's. Eventually Microsoft moved the 95/98 UI to NT which is where XP came from.

As for the Mac being a knockoff of Xerox Star OS? Yes, star was out first with icons and a window (no over lapping windows) and a mouse pointer and WYSIWYG displays. All of which are elements of the mac OS, Windows and OS 2. Apple took this design much further with a menu bar, overlapping movable windows and a trash can and more importantly a rich toolbox for programers to use to make consistent looking and acting applications. That OS was dramatically re-written with OS 7 and then again with OS 9. Now OS X is yet another re-write.

Thank you to Xerox, but lets not dismiss Apple's contributions by saying that OS X is a Xerox Star knockoff!

Windows XP vs. Vista

* eSeong Network User Reviews *

* ) I am a web designer and I have tried windows Vista on my brother's new laptop. After checking the new OS I have to say that they (Microsoft) put a lot of effort on the interface and some few things. It really looks nice. But after long consideration I have reach to the conclusion that why should I change to this new OS. There are no great new improvements. The web pages still look the same. My programs run the same way. And finally if you put them side by side (same hardware) XP is by far the winner, faster and still (more or less) reliable. So why to spend more money in better hardware just to get the same performance that I have with XP today?

* ) I like Ubuntu, I think its great.
BUT I am a gamer, since Ubuntu cant play the games I play on XP, Ubuntu is not suitable for me.

* ) I've used Xp since its release and was generally dissatified with it's performance until SP2 was made available. I've put Vista on my newest machine that i assembled last year. To be honest, Vista reminds me of my ex-girlfriend - cute, but a terrible resource hog. The operational speed of that machine is not much faster than the one it replaced (the older one dual boots XP and Mandriva Linux) despite having a faster processor and 3x more ram! Hopefully i'll see improvements when i patch it with SP1 this weekend...it's too bad girls don't come with patches!

* ) This does seem very reminiscent of the Win 2000 vs XP debate a few years back. At work we use XP because we don't need the advanced resources that Vista puts out there (and why would you when 512MB RAM runs all the business apps).

My parents were my first guinea pigs for Vista, and you know, they were able to figure it out and do more with this OS than on any previously (going back to Windows 95), and the best part is that I wasn't on the phone for hours walking them through things. The fact that Vista seems to be that intuitive for average people says something, in my opinion. I held out longer for my laptop at home, but finally took the plunge with Vista Home Premium and the first thing I noticed was that Vista seamlessly networked with my Ubuntu box without any poking and prodding. I've NEVER had a Windows networking experience work so well. Then, of course, there's the fact that my scanner now only works with the Ubuntu box since there aren't Vista drivers for it, but that's not really MS's fault (Canon, on the other hand....come on).

I think that the one thing I wish Vista could do is create a shell to run drivers for XP if there aren't any Vista drivers available. If I could run my scanner in "XP mode" that would be great (and cut down on all the "I don't have any drivers!" complaints, I should think).


My computer just installed SP1 last night, so now we'll see how things go. It does seem RAM usage is down slightly, but I just need more time to run it through its paces. All in all, Vista seems fairly solid, at least for home use.

* ) I really don't care what happens. I use Vista on my work computer, and other than slow startups and shutdowns, I don't see any problems with it; granted, I don't do anything excessive on it, but still. I still prefer XP at home, because it does everything I need it to do, and quickly. Also, if people really like the Aero interface that much, you can change XP's visual style to Aero if you want.


If they do discontinue sales of XP, it won't really matter to me. I already have a copy of XP, so it's not like I'm missing out, and most of the people who really care about XP that much already have a copy as well. Before they're removed from the market, I'll probably pick up another copy from the egg, just so I can have an extra laying around.


Also, eMJay, comparing Vista to your ex-girlfriend is priceless.

18 Features Windows Doenst have

* ) RocketDock - FREE - http://rocketdock.com/

Stickies - FREE - http://www.zhornsoftware.co.uk/

Switcher - FREE Expose clone - http://insentient.net/ - (uses vista 3d desktop, so very resource light and fast, but vista only)

XP/Vista Virtual Desktops - FREE - http://www.codeplex.com/vdm (thumbnail previews, the works)

Before it was Otaku Deskpace , the software was called Yodm3d and was free, the last free version, 1.4 is still available on http://www.klitetools.com/comments.php?catid=58&id=5280

Windows Web server IIS is built into many (most?all?) distributions of windows 2k/xp/vista but not installed by default, use add/remove windows components. (as a dev I still preffer runing apache 2.2 locally though)

* ) Things PC World should have but doesn't:

1) Brains
2) More Brains
3) A little more brains

* ) This is quite possibley the worst piece of dribble I have seen come out of this pathetic rag in a long time. I must ask, do you actually use Windows? If you do, you'll see almost all of this is there. So are you saying you would like to see the implimentation of it copied EXACTLY? And what idiot said "Put a server in!" worst idea ever! Great, let's open up consumers to hack attacks over web servers. Oh and I seem to recall Microsoft making a server product... Geez, the name escapes me of their server offerings... OH! I know! Windows SERVER.

And if they put more software in, you'll complain saying it is anti-competitive.

To continue the trend:
7) A healthy portion of brains that would make Hannibal Lecteur squirm.
8) A PC
9) A copy of Windows
10) Ability to write articles without bias.

* ) As for sticky notes I think Vista has a sidebar gadget that does this.

Also for Screen sharing, check SharedView 1.0 from MS download, I think that provides the functionality that you've mentionedin iChat.

I don't really agree on the feature that having a unified menu sitting at top of the screen (rather than having individual menu strip in the application window). Apps for Vista have a tendency to loss the menu bar (eg. IE hid the menu by default, WLM (Messenger) hid the menu bar by default). I think this is a trend to simply hide the menu bar as the most-used features are accessible through other UIs in the window. Not to mention that some apps don't use menu at all.

10 Worst PC Keyboards

* eSeong Network User Reviews *

* ) This is nothing more than a thinly veiled attack on everything not PC or Mac. Yes, the IBM PC Jr is there, but that is every PC users whipping boy. There were good reasons for some machines having many uses on keyboards. Why not point out the PCs history of bad keyboard layout? Backspace on the left of the keyboard? How about the bad keyboard layout that has survived in both the PC and Mac over the years? The Delete key not situated to the right of the Backspace key? The Return/Enter key smaler than one of the two shift keys even though it is the third most used key? The Tab key used to switch text fields when the Return/Enter key works perfectly (and has done on many dead machines)? The PCs insistance on having a disjoint between the Capslock and Numlock keys and their LEDs? Apple has not been the only manufaturer in the past who could fit an LED into the keys themselves.

How about some real improvements? I have been asking for a decade now for a keyboard with LED/LCD keys that will not wear out with use, that can be set up to show custom key usage and will change to the Alt and Shift usage when Alt and Shift are depressed. The technology has been there for a very long time now, yet we have to put up with keyboards that would not be out of place in 1912.

Do not throw stones when your own house is not made of safety glass.

* ) There have indeed been many bad keyboards, before it settled down to the "standards" that we have today.

A major remaining flaw is the Caps Lock key. Only useful to people who don't understand the etiquette of email.

And the Insert key: "Get me into trouble immediately!"

And of course the cryptic obsolete markings on the standard windows keyboard. What is "Pause" or "Scroll Lock" now?

Above all we should drop QWERTY and go to that other layout.

I liked the VT-52 keyboard the best. Very fast. Moving to the VT-100 was traumatic.

* ) How about a modern nightmare keyboard... Has anyone tried Logitech's modern looking, very pretty, and grossly overpriced DiNovo keyboard set? Between them, the keyboard and number pad use six AA batteries, which don't last very long. The included Bluetooth drivers, which have to be installed for the system to recognize the keyboard, are incredibly intrusive, and want to control much of the computer hardware and software which have nothing to do with the keyboard, and in my experience, conflicts with numerous programs and devices, causing crashes, programs stalling or acting erratically, etc. The software is almost like a virus, and is very difficult to completely remove from the system.
