they evenend the number system out so they hade NT3 and Windows3 at the same time.  However there is a valid argument that NT is OS/2 release 3, so it kind of pans out.  NT grew out of MSs desire to stop being involved with OS/2

Maybe it does advise it, but it seems the readers of that page arent having anything to do with it. A lot of them are claiming Forrester Research has been bribed.

- MS always do it,  It came out to buy they release things to try it out on the mass market and get money off people at the same time.
- It is nice though as it shows they may even extend xp life further as long as "a lot" of people will still be using it which they will be.
- Despite what he says about vista and 7, 7 will be less bloated as other MS staff working on it have already said that this is a goal of its development
- I think you can see why vista is so bloated, give to much development time with some things not working and the other elements will have more stuff added to them which if development time was shorter would still work and be good but not have any "tinkering" done which sends it to far into the bloated zone.

Windows 7 milestone 1
http://www.thinknext.net/archives/2199
It looks like they are working off vista at the moment with tweaks and changes to the core concept abilities, I think when you add the new kernal and probably my streamlined software and then towards the end (just like other versions) the new interface (which we know is going to be new as there is a new team on it) will come about.

I think a number of the changes here though will come to vista as updates as well as features of windows 7

windows NT is so named due to the develpment team coming from the awesome digital corporation

VMS

add one letter in alphabet

WNT

some people say thats a myth - i  dont - the developers were bought in from digital.

for anyone that has ever worked with VMS (I started on it) you will know that windows NT borrows heavily from it. It does lose a lot of the rock solid stability of VMS though

Yeah, heard that one too.  Also the one about "New Technolgy" and various other reasons.  I know the numbering system was an artificial thing to bring it into line with Windows3.0 though.  I also know that anything pre-2k is horrible to work on.  It wasnt even good when it came out.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer said Thursday that the company may reconsider its decision to stop selling Windows XP on June 30. At an event in Belgium, Ballmer told reporters, "If customer feedback varies, we can always wake up smarter," according to an Associated Press report.]#

All i can do is hope they either scrap the UAC system form windows 7 or scale it back massively so i dont have my screen screwed over and having to click a button for everything i do.

Why does it have to black out the whole screen just to ask me the question, why not just pop the box up. That would be as good and nowhere near as slow and annoying.




you can turn that off..... (first thing i did!)

its in the user accounts bit of the contorl panel ;)


Turning off UAC is baad Mkay? You loose the Explorer sandbox for a start, and there are other ways.

If you are installing a program you trust then right click and choose Run as administrator.

You can mark a program to always run with extra security priviledges by right clicking it, select Properties Compatability and checking Run this program as Administrator. Be careful with this though, you certainly dont want to do it to programs that access the internet or stuff from unknown sources.

If you really hate UAC then REGEDIT HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\CurrentVersion\Policies\System and set ConsentPromptBehhaviorAdmin to 0 this will kill the prompts but leave Explorer to play in its sand box.

And for those who think that I have just become a Vista Wizard, its copied from issue 266 of PCPlus.

UAC is a nice way of saying "Digital Vomit".  Just because Vista isnt very fault tolerant doesnt mean they need to annoy us.  Just swapped a motherboard in a machine that was dual booting vista and XP.  The XP boot functions perfectly, just booted up, replaced the drivers and its working.  THe Vista boot didn;t even take a repair.  Just refused to even progess past the boto loader with BSODing

Did I say it was perfect? I dont even own a copy, and refuse to buy one. Vista has real problems.

Ive finally sorted out fully the computer system I bought from tekheads last year, a MoBo bios issue was causing problems with games and the latest update fixed that. I then installed windoze XP again and since I was ditching my old 2500+ to my brother I erased the HD and used the key to install again on the newer one. I then let it activate through my internet connection, which, surprisingly to me, went through without any problem.
