  1. You get a massage from Windows 8 ? Maybe it is worth buying after all.
  2. Man, you're so full of yourself (and full of other stuff as well). Edit: this is no longer relevant after vipejc edited his post... It had a something in the lines of "I know everything about the soft- and hardware that I own. You can't be as awesome as me,..."
  3. I find Teamviewer easy and painless for this type of thing. It's free as well.
  4. You can select any folder to synchronize so theoretically you can already go a long way. You'll need to find out the settings for yourself though.
  5. It's what I use mostly. Pro : you can download all the hotfixes, sps, etc for different OSs and it'll update what it needs to. You can use it indepently of install method. con : larger size, not integrated
  6. I'd like to add that 3rd party also can do incremental/differential backups.
  7. Startup went from 42s to 30s. Until now, that seems to be the fastest it can go. It did crash however when it ran an additional step after the 6. Something about the user, I haven't taken the time to look at it, wierd, because I'm an admin on my pc. I'll give it another run when I have more spare time.
  8. For those who'd like to try it as well, I've put them here : http://www.filedropper.com/windowsperformancetoolkit for easy access.
  9. It's going to take a while for people to get used to this. I've had no problems with backups made in win7 and I dont even bother with acronis anymore now. Shame it doesn't do incremental though. Otherwise it looks very promising : restore integrated in the installl DVD, very nifty. I'm using Ghost 14 now. A full every month and incrementals every week. It's not 100% compatible, they say so, but I guess it's because it doesn't recognize the sysboot partition. A reinstall and restore of the image should put back the pc to it's previous state, I guess.
  10. Ah that explains it, it wasn't clear from your original post. Ah, I think you're referring to this quote from your expert Pete Guttman : "Separately, all the extra encryption required to meet Vista’s content protection standards means some computer components can never enter power-saving mode, he said. Thus, when you play a movie your CPU keeps running at full steam, he said. The extra power demands make it hard to reduce electricity usage." “It’s a bit of an extreme claim, but you could say Windows Vista causes global warming, because it’s burning so much power with all this nonsense,” http://www.networkworld.com/news/2007/0809...def.html?page=2 Reality has really caught up with this false statement. Despite what this mr Guttman says, there is no prove of any of that. As to the global warming thing : it's really, really farfetched to use that as a attention grabber. The other claims of Guttman also don't survive any real tests. If editing the policy, registry and installing non-ms apps to enable things is not hacking, then yes, it's not hacking. I consider it hacking though. Again : also consider the difference in license cost. Default installation is indeed a bit large. I used Vlite to remove unwanted languages and features that I won't use.
  11. All right, slow down, run around the block a few times to get some air. Can you provide some evidence to support this ? Or do you mean the TPM chip that supports Bitlocker ? I don't have that and Vista works just fine. You can NOT be serious. Good for you, although you have confused a few things : a 3200+ is not running 1.8Ghz. Also for newer applications/games/hardware you're toast as they are no longer supporting the 98/Me platform. It's still going to take a bit hacking to get it running as a desktop OS. Are you going to pay for the license yourself ? To the topic starter : If you're now running 32-bit Vista, I don't see a reason to step over to 64-bit, unless you plan on using more than 3Gb of memory. I've recently moved to a new CoreDuo build with 4GB and chose to install Vista x64, while I ran XP on an older Athlon 64 with 2GB before. Suits my needs perfectly. And yes, like someone else said : an external drive is generally slower. Especially if it's on USB you'll feel that the drive is working. If you're working a lot with big files on an external drive, I'd recommend firewire. It's not going to be faster, but it'll keep your pc free to do other things.
  12. Some more info about what/how things will be changed would be nice. Screenshots are also welcome. I can't speak for others, but my MCE is a "production"-type machine. I'm not gonna install something on it before knowing more about it. Is the SP3 really a requirement ?
  13. I really love OpusOS in olive. With a matching wallpaper it's really nice.
  14. Good solution. To use it on multiple PCs, I used this one : perform a HD based install and image that before first boot. It generates an image of about the size of a CD, but install runs locally on the disk, so much faster than from CD or network.
  15. Are you installing IE7 before that ? It is known for breaking RunOnceEx.
  16. I'd like the MCE one also. please (is that the magic word )
  17. Not bad, I'll have read through it. Thanks
  18. Very well documented. It should help a lot of guys out ! Oh and welcome to the forums.
