Ye' old general discussion board. Basically, for everything that isn't covered elsewhere. Come here to shoot the breeze, shoot your mouth off, or whatever suits your fancy. This forum is not for asking programming related questions.
Anyone here using this besides me? I installed it on my laptop about 2 months ago and for the life of me I can't figure out what XP has that this doesn't. The memory management has been awesome (I have 1.25 GB) - no issues with power management on my thinkpad - I've been playing condition zero with full hardware support, all videos and codecs work perfectly.. it even seems to handle hibernation better that XP did.
What I know it's missing:
dial-up support
The welcome screen
some of the help and support bloat
windows movie maker and friends
I just don't understand why more people aren't trading in their stock XP for this when it runs faster, better, and seems to support EVERYTHING I've ever thrown at it.... and it takes the same VL Key many of us xp corp users already have and use!
I guess with Vista out now I'm even more convinced that "less is more".
* Dial-up networking & terminal based connections are not supported
* May have backward compatibility issues with older programs (Windows 98)
* May have problems with old drivers
* OS installation may need skilled technician capabilities
* Installation requires full partition format
