With Windows 7 due out later this month, many of you are no doubt counting the days until release. I've played with both the beta and RC of Microsoft's latest OS, and quite honestly, I liked what I saw. If this had come out in 2006 when 'Longhorn' was promised, I have no doubt that I would not...

Is there such a thing as Windows 7 Ultimate? first i heard there was and then i heard there wasn't. build 7100 claims to be Ultimate on startup and shutdown (but its just an RC). i've heard Microsoft was going back to only Home and Pro, trying to keep it simple like XP and unlike Vista. i've...
Microsoft promised that by purchasing the pricey Ultimate edition of Vista users would get all kinds of extras.
However, for many, those extras turned out to be little more than a few screensavers and a poker game prompting some significant grousing.
Now, that frustration has turned to...

Hi, Just installed the RC on my HP laptop a few days ago. I wanted to access my documents folder on my Vista partition, so I clicked through to "Continue to access this folder." Didn't think anything of it. Then, when I went to log back into Vista, I couldn't access my actual user profile. Every...

Hi guys
Is it just me on a Monday or have MS deliberately disabled RDP on Vista Home Premium X-64 -- If so this is zillions of steps backwards as most people I know usually want to connect to say a Home computer from work (or vice versa).

So I had some extra cash to blow and decided to pick up a copy of Windows Vista Home Premium SP1 32-bit last night. $129.99 isn't too bad of a price for an upgrade copy of an OS when there's way to perform a clean install ;) , in my opinion. But I'm curious to know what all your opinions are on...
