Boris Jabes is fun guy to talk to about C++. He has the distinction of being the first guy to share the news about the removal of C++/CLI intellisense support in VC10.

First off, I am posting this question here because I cannot find another forum that appears to be of any help. Please let me know if there is a better place w/in Windows 7 Forums to post it. My question is, I want to know how to set up a second email address within my existing Outlook...

All right don't flame me for my ignorance here. I am currently dual booting. I have access to my vista drive through windows seven. I am noticing that they are set up very similar in terms of the files. I am wondering if it's possible to replace some of the vista files with files from windows...

I have an 8gb machine (memory) and it runs without a hitch. Were the problems cleared during the sp1? I have windows 7 on other and I find both to be very similar except for the taskbar and some networking features. Are these past vista complaints or is there a valid reason? Windows 7 is nice...

Assuming I understand this correctly that Microsoft is not continuing Ultimate Extras in Windows 7, my curious question is why? Unless it's some form of a cost cutting move? So do we now know what will make Windows 7 Ultimate stand out above and beyond the other versions of Windows 7...

I decided while my PC is disassembled I would upgrade to a larger case with better air flow and cable management. After reading a lot of reviews and also knowing what I wanted, I decided on a Cooler Master HAF 932. Link Removed Now don't get me wrong I love my Raid-Max case but it is too...

So, how much longer do you think microsoft will be able to keep quiet about Windows 7? It's been well over a year since the launch of Windows Vista, and at this time from the launch of Windows XP, Microsoft was talking quite a bit about Longhorn. I sure hope the start talking soon, so that...

Well guys, it seems like my Mobo died last Wednesday, as when I turn it on, it says that the BIOS is corrupt. So, time for a new system. So, what do you think of the following components? CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300 Yorkfield 2.5GHz 6MB L2 Cache...

http://blogs.technet.com/ewan/archive/2007/10/10/dell-s-anti-crapware-initiative-doesn-t-go-far-enough.aspx Well, I think this is why many people have issues with Windows, and one reason that Mac's don't have that much problems.
