Post by MvT on Sep 8th, 2007, 3:18pm
XP SP3, Vista SP1 and Windows Server 2008 RC0 – Available for Download! - Next week

http://www.joejoe.org/forum/index.php?showtopic=11494&pid=136993&st=0&#entry136993

This will affect 96% of the computers out their

Windows Vista And Windows Server 08 will affect almost all companies in the next 12-24 months including forums and websites webhosts ecommerce sites and other services online

I'm not sure if these service pack BETAS will cause me trouble or save me time

but the change to windows vista (office 2007) and windows server 08 will be a good thing :)

  Beta testing is not for most, and should never be done on your main system unless you like living on the edge.

   I admit it is satisfying finding a bug, posting it to the tracker and working with the developer to test their fix. This year I haven't done any at all. Good thing I only have to wait 6 months for an upgrade to go final ;)

the final version is not any safer than the public beta people had problems with sp2 long after it reached rtm the final service pack is at most 3-8 weeks away

The only reason it would be a PUBLIC beta is that it is safe enough for the general public to test and hopefully uninstall if any issues

if your on vista system restore works well
your system should be able to run virtual machines if you don't think its safe
and business and ultimate have great backup and restore features

So what is said is really true. "The world is Microsoft's beta testers" How do you people put up with that?

 Vista is Beta. Lets not even get into how the DRM screws up the file system. Or all the other problems with it. Safe it is not.
  SP3 won't be out officially until the Spring of 08. Although you can get it now if you wish.
  MS is on 90% of the PCs in the US.
  MS server products (any version) is on 29.3% of the servers. Down from 37% in recent years.
  Don't go throwing out that 96% figure. It only exists in your head, and the marketing department of Microsoft.
  The longest running server at www.microsoft.com had to be rebooted on Aug 28 2007. Its the one running Server 2008/IIS7.0 at 207.46.193.254. If you care to look. The other nine servers there haven't lasted that long.
  The poor ethical behavior of a so called professional advising users to run Beta products on their home systems, is between you and yer maker.
  And yes, as a matter of fact I have been writing bytecode since before you were born. So don't even go there.
  I'll let it rest here, and not list the rest of your deficiencies in your chosen field of endeavor.

Having the "general public" BETA test any OS, or service pack before it's ready for general release, and then hopefully uninstall if there are any issues is irresponsible at best. The general public doesn't have the skills needed to know what to do to deal with the inevitable problems that come with beta testing.

And Microsoft support? It doesn't exist. Good Luck.

Svenn, you are right. Wait for the SP. I've got ultimate on this laptop, and I'll be testing SP1. But I know what it means. Then I'll decide whether to keep it or install XP Pro 64 bit on this machine. Or, I'll change it to Fedora. We'll see.

  All of our updates and service packs are safe. The only reason there are problems are because people run software that wasn't written by Microsoft.

  Despite that remark MvT, I still like you. If you need an MCSE let me know. Even though they are not worth the paper they are printed on.

microsoft offered some free msce courses but I did not feel like looking for a place in hamilton or mississagua to take the test....they use to test here owell....

thanks for the offer

I also feel that the updates and service packs are safe but most people are not sure after sp2.....

there are lots of linux fans here that I will not argue with

if something was not working in linux you would blame the user I will do the same bad hardware bad drivers bad end users not really microsofts fault but they could do what apple dose hardware and software and be a monopoly and get sued again......

its not really that the hardware is bad its that people are always causing esd damage they will tell you they do not have a carpet and do not need to be grounded and thats wrong.....

Wanna hear a good joke?

I just picked up three Toshiba laptops this week at a really good price for some buddies.  Now I knew that I would need to put another gig of memory into them... it is already on the way.

Anyway... these laptops have Vista installed, and come with 512MB of RAM.  lolol... you wanna talk about dogs... these thing take like a week to boot up.  Closing an app hoses up the screen so bad for about 30 seconds.  Try to start an app?  In about 20 seconds you might see some action from your double-click.    

The poor little HD LED just flashes all fuckin day.  You can let it sit idle for an hour and it still is paging to the hard drive... trying to survive.  

Vista on half a gig... it is laughable.

Wrong MORON. We don't blame the users. We fix the kernel, or the drivers. Its not the users responsibility to make it work. They are after all users, not software engineers. You go ahead and blame the users for your shoddy products. We don't. Those of us who work on BSD and Linux take  pride in making a decent system. Microsoft doesn't. History has shown that time and again.

You on the other hand are a lazy, lame A$$ed A+  tech. who wishes to push blame off onto your client base. So just go ahead and keep making excuses. It doesn't fly luser. You are at the very least pitiful.

vista runs alright on 512 by itself untill you start trying games or photoshop

it runs better if you downgrade to windows home basic because your hardware is lacking Oems Like dell and Hp toshiba lenovo ect use cheaper parts to keep the prices down try vista on another computer in a store you will see vista is fine on other computers its your computer thats the problem

ready boost usb keys are $35 or less 1gb

you should also be using ecc ram with vista like microsoft suggested

you can adjust your power settings and turn off indexing if you want its your computer.....

ok maybe you don't but most linux users do.....
yesterday on digg I was reading brother now has linux drivers it still took the user more than 1 hour to set up his printer in linux [smiley=laugh.gif] great for the end user

alot of the time the product works fine but its how the end user has set something up or changed something

or has not grounded themselves or downloaded the wrong driver the list goes on

I still end up fixing it but alot of the time the problem is the end user or like you said shoddy products or drivers

and why should you hafto rewrite drivers thats the manufacturers job

this will go on and on so lets just stop it here please

That when I used it in the store, the hardware was not cheap hardware, but AFTER I got it home, the hardware turned cheap, and THAT's why it runs slow? It's now my computer's problem?

you can adjust your power settings and turn off indexing if you want its your computer.Again, why should you have to?....


Vista should never have been released. And as usual, a Microsoft tech claims it the user, or the computer's problem, Not the OS. Par for the course. Tell me, are you a developer specifically for Microsoft? One of the monkeys sitting in a room pounding out code without consulting with what any other monkey is pounding out, then throw the whole mess together and hope it works? Please...
And an hour to set up a printer using linux drivers? Hey Coots, how many days did it take you to get that printer set up using microsoft, and how many error messages did you get saying your Operating system wouldn't run the printer?

And ESD? What do you mean, users don't know they need to be grounded? Why would they? Most users wouldn't be inside their machine changing hardware, or even starting from scratch.

Good one Wrokk. You are exactly right. Even after deleting half the crap off this laptop, it still runs slow. I'll take linux any day.

You forgot to link the story so I did it for you. (http://digg.com/linux_unix/Linux_Drivers_Just_Got_Better)

If you read the comments, the reason for the long install time are as follows.


Quote:
Well, I Admit I had no clue on what I was doing and it only took me so long because the instructions mounted the printer as a USB, mine is on the network on a different room over wi-fi and I needed to figure out how to point to it. I'm sure that someone with more knowledge/experience than me, or of connecting the printer locally can get this going in no time. To me 45 minutes from start to finish including research is nothing considering a few DAYS to get the NVIDIA driver the first time. Please don't focus on my inexperience not my lack of knowledge but on the fact that a reputable company like Brother is finally taking Linux Seriously. and I also agree with jbus, if they would have had the instructions right on how to connect to the printer over the network, it might have taking me a lot less.


As usual you inflated the the figures by 33%. Please think before spreading FUD on the board.

Please re-read my post. I said users "wouldn't" be inside their machines, not "shouldn't" be. There is nothing wrong with someone opening up their tower and having a look. Most users wouldn't, they'd have no idea what to look for.

Since you brought up ESD again, let me just say that first of all, Dell, HP, Toshiba, Lenovo, Sony, you name the manufacturer, these workers are grounded while they are working. They are using ESD floor mats, and ESD bench mats. Just because you don't see a wrist strap attached to the people you see in the commercials (and it's just a commercial, do you really think the props in the commercial are being sold?) It doesn't mean they aren't grounded. If you had any idea of the manufacturing process, you'd know this.

The same goes for computer repair. ESD mats on the bench. Plus the pro's know they need to be grounded. Just like I was when I built my 3 machines, and changed hardware out in two of them. I managed very nicely not to blow the MBs. It's not rocket science. Of course, accidents do happen in the course of business, but you can be sure it is by far the exception than the rule.  And posting links to youtube is the same as quoting an article out of the Enquirer. Do you really believe aliens have landed?

You guys are really funny! [smiley=laugh.gif]

First off; When McDonalds makes a commercial is the food on the set edible? It’s a commercial after all.

Second; I could talk anyone through how to setup printer port settings for a network printer. My Brother MF print/fax machine drivers are not available for network support and I had it working on my print server in 10 min so it isn’t that big of a deal (if you got the right driver of course).

Third; Everyone (yes even the king) knows to get a clean HD for a new OS install? I would hope anyway. Maybe a second drive to store important documents would be a prudent thing to consider also.

I worked for years in the computer board manufacturing industry as a line technician for 5 years. I only popped 1 cmos device in that whole time I worked there.

If one follows the advice on handling (without touching the parts and handling by the edges ect.) while being grounded to the case and case plugged in to a grounded outlet, they will be fine.

This thread is a good laugh though!

PFW, Rolo.

I don't know about hp Lenovo Or Toshiba and there esd practices but at many dell authorized repair centers I can show example after example of no grounding devices that includes shoes clothes gloves mats wrist straps anklestraps

at the local future shop and best buy no esd protection at summit direct on the sales floor people on the carpet removing ram from the antistatic packaging and scanning the stickers no grounding devices

at computer for schools ontario No grounding devices they do not even teach about esd there a new group of kids every few months

Using wrist straps, heel straps, ESD matting is not necessary to ground yourself to the case. My 64 bit machine, which I built in January, was done while I was standing on my carpet, or sitting with my feet on the carpet. So what? Being a computer technician, as it says under your avatar, you should know better. What, are you fresh out of computer school?

Handling hardware is no big deal. If you are installing, repairing, or replacing, then you know about static electricity. Gee, maybe I should get that stick of RAM out of the dresser drawer, and put it in a nice safe Faraday cage, so I don't blow it.   ::)

 What you are telling me than is that your schools produce unqualified graduates. And that your business people in Ontario find this acceptable and hire them. Whereupon they practice poor workplace protocols. And provide inferior service to their clients.
 Since you appear to be a product of these same schools, that would explain your fondness for such a shoddy product, such as Vista. And your playing fast and loose with the information you give out. But you're a PFY and in the fullness of time experience will teach you the error of your ways. I hope.

Speaking as someone that needs to build a new desktop, I've got to say that Vista is NEVER going to be put on it. I'll use Win2K or some LINUX distro but not Vista. I don't mind it being a resource hog, I'll have plenty of horsepower. What I dislike is Bill Gates telling me what I can and can't do with the PC that I paid for. He can take his DRM and his plans for snuggling-up to the RIAA and MPAA and shove them.
Bill ought to remember who his customer is. Hollywood isn't the one buying his OS, I am.
