This is post 5,010 since April 2005 - Apologies and explanation for brief hiatus
There are many enemies of blogging. The worst is a product called Microsoft Vista. When supplied on brand new Acer Aspire desk top you have a world beating , brain churning bit of expensive power hungy kit.
Just when needed most to keep in touch globally this bag of crap fell over. Terminally.
Things are not quite back to normal but we now have a modest, mildly antique FREE tower running Windows XP Pro. The first 5 day stint of chemotherapy is over.
Things is looking up.
Stay tuned.

Vista
What made you put that crap on in the first place???.Or buy it already on with your computer???.
I take delight going into PC world and saying I want to buy the most expensive computer they have but it must have XP pro on it.They don`t let you choose they dictate what OS you will have, all they do is Vista...I say to them you have lost a sale...it hurts them but they still won`t change.Dell had a lot of problems with this and changed back to given you the option...they were losing too many customers.I have heard that Vista Ultimate is good...but I won`t take the chance...stick with XP Pro.
Buy the way...
"Microsoft has already said the fundamentals of Windows 7 will be similar to Vista. It is being built using the same kernel as Vista, which is pretty much the brain of a computer. The kernel decides how to allocate memory to different programs, and even decides exactly what the computer should do at any particular instant."
"This means Windows 7 is going to be very much a revamp rather than a complete rewrite of Vista. Indeed, Microsoft may be hoping to produce a system with all the good features of Vista but without the negative stigma that accompanied it."
In otherwords it`s going to be CRAP...

You have to look around to find XP Pro.

XP Pro downgrade...I don`t think so lol.
Lord Ptel has used Microsoft products since he late 70's and o,poted CBasic direct from US of A.
Long learnt not to be pioneer but retirement from 25 yrs running international sofware development company (still in biz) unwisely bought as detailed and through stubborness / idleness / meanness stuck with it.
It's the wurdz and pix what matter.
Disagree with the Anons above. I'm running Win 7 and in its Beta it's much better than Vista.
MS seem, effectively, to have given up on Vista. Every patch they've brought out for it has fkd something else.
My preferred o/s for netting is XP+SP1. Anything later than that is for people so dull of wit they'd've voted for Bush in 04 or Blair 05.
Alas you need full bells, whistles and dot net framework to run current apps.
XP is easily found if you look. I'd recommend the stripped down "Performance Edition" :)

"Windows XP has a huge performance edge over Microsoft's Vista and Windows 7 when run on today's multicore hardware. It won't be the operating systems after Windows 7 that the fruit of Microsoft's multicore optimisation labours will be fully realised."...
