Features in Windows 7 Ported to Windows Vista?
by Guest NewsBot- 0 replies
- 54 views
I don’t understand the rationale of Microsoft why they have to give out the features of Windows 7 to Windows Vista particularly the ribbon look and feel. In an update on October, Microsoft is pushing this update to Windows Vista users. This report first came out from istartersomething.com which is written by Long Zheng. According to him Microsoft is providing Windows Vista users the option to install the update that displays the Windows 7 ribbon framework.The ribbon framework is called “Scenic Ribbon†and is a derivation of the ribbon –esque “fluent†user interface which was first seen in the Microsoft [...]Post from: Windows Vista Weblog More...

I realize this thread was a while ago, but I'll add some more information. There is a site that is dedicated to Subsystem for Unix-based Applications (SUA) and SFU.

It's rare to use Visual Studio's IDE but a few people do. You can debug these programs using the Visual Studio debugger or (I think better) WinDbg. 2) There's a FAQ at the SUA Community site on this, but in brief in SFU contained several "components" including one named Interix whi…

i noticed this message shortly after switching the theme of my desktop from windows classic to windows vista. experimentation has shown that when in windows classic the error does not occur. however, when the desktop theme is in windows vista mode the error shows up frequently. another factor may have been that i recently installed silverlight for netflix viewing. keeping the windows classic theme seems to work for me, hope it works for you as well raedon 200m vista home premium 32-bit -- curiousape ------------------------------------------------------------------------ curiousape's Profile: http://forums.techarena.in/members/130277.htm View this threa…

Windows 7 Sins

What a coincidence, just yesterday I realized there were only positives surrounding Windows 7 and I was wandering when the hate Windows 7 campaign would start. During Vista’s time the hate Windows Vista came much, much earlier which is not the case with Windows 7 as we are only 6 weeks away from launch. Today, I came across the Windows7sins.org which was launched last week by a Boston based Free Software Foundation group describing Windows 7 as “treacherous computing†which take rights away from users. The website launched outlines 7 sins of Windows 7 namely:1. Poisoning education – this is [...]Post from: Windows Vista Weblog More...

I have some Windows XP workstations that I need to remove from a windows 2003 domain and join them to a new Windows 2008 domain.

Vista Home Premium: WIA service re-enables itself
by Guest Andrey Tarasevich- 0 replies
- 125 views
Hello On numerous occasions I have manually disabled Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) service on my Vista Home Premium machine. It stays 'Disabled' for a while, but eventually I discover that WIA service is running again (and its startup type changed to 'Automatic'). Unfortunately so far I was unable to catch the culprit. I have no idea when exactly it switches from 'Disabled' to 'Automatic'. Does anyone know what/who is responsible for changing the startup type for the service behind my back? Any ideas appreciated. Best regards, Andrey

It is no question that developers are key resources in the development of Windows 7 but we are not only talking about developers from the Microsoft space but all developers worldwide who are giving the final report to decision makers whether the applications the company are using internally are compatible or can be tweaked easily to work well on Windows 7. While decision makers hold the power to sign-off on the purchase of Windows 7 and perform the massive migration to the latest operating system of Microsoft, they rely heavily on the outcome of the proof of concept, timeline, work [...]Post from: Windows Vista Weblog More...
