Comment on Why Do I Need a 64 Bit OS? by Luffie

The same day I uninstalled IE8 because it wasn't displaying pages correctly Zone Alarm Firewall popped up an alert stateing IE was trying to access the internet - after I uninstalled it. I hit the deny button, but needless to say, I'm a little confused here. I'm running Windows XP SP3 on an HP Pavilion d4100e with Avira & ZA anti-virus suites & Windows Defender (they all seem to get along OK) & I run daily anti-virus scans. I uninstalled IE8 using "Add/Remove Windows Components" in the "Add/Remove Programs" feature of Control Panel. Does anyone out there have a clue? I'm posting this before trying my own Google search.

Comment on Why you should upgrade to Windows 7 by Kerry Brown

Upgrading from Vista is very easy. You start Vista, put in the DVD, and start the upgrade. There is no in place upgrade from XP. You have to backup all your data, install Windows 7 and your programs, then restore the data. There is a feature in Windows 7 called Windows Easy Transfer that will backup your data XP and program settings to a USB drive then restore it Windows 7. It runs from the Windows 7 DVD before you install Windows 7. With all ugrades you need a full backup before you start so you can get back to where you are now if something goes wrong.

How hard is it to upgrade Kerry? Is it something we can do by ourselves or are we better off getting the pro’s to do it? I don’t usually upgrade, I usually just buy a new machine with the new operating system but my PC if fairly new and fast enough and big enough to keep me going for a while. Should I be starting from scratch or can I buy an upgrade and go from there? Comments?

Interesting post and yes, I’ve noticed the same among friends and strangers (half are excited, half are negative). Personally, I’m thrilled Vancouver is hosting the Winter Games! I’m going to soak up as much of it as I can; meet as many people from around the world that I can. Before you know it, it’ll be over, and the negative folk among us can go back to grunting about something else instead.

Comment on Windows 7 vs. Fedora 11 — Part 2 by Kerry Brown

I’d like to move directly to 2010 but most of my customers use SBS. It will be a while before 2010 is in a shipping version of SBS. I like to run the same software as my customers. Great idea though.

Perhaps you could skip EXchange 2007 and move on immediately to Exchange 2010 (just RTMed) — those pesky upgrades are often a nuisance.

The new ways are dictated by security needs, not by Microsoft. All reasonably secure OS’s have a higher level of inconvenience and different way of doing things than XP and older versions of Windows.

WE have to learn new ways? Why can't Microsoft listen to their customers with 25 years plus experience in their operating systems, instead of enforcing their way of doing things onto us? We PAY for the software, yet we have to put up with the frustration of being dictated to by them.

I hear you, Kerry, but those of us who are Administrators bitch when Windows 2000 has no problem connecting to Vista, but Vista won’t connect to Vista without going through an enormous learning curve and finding out how to give oneself the right permissions to see the root directory of one’s own machines!
