it says you can download it if you are an MSDN member... what level of membership do you need to get it?  Can you download it if you subscribe to MSDN library? or do you need the MSDN w/ Operating Systems?

Thanks

alright buddy, stop typing in caps, it will not get you help any faster. So PLEASE stop typing in caps! Thank You.

These guys are offering you help, and you have not responded to them in a way to which they can understand if you tried their suggestions or not.

Whoever said Vista isn't stable is having driver issues or something. I've been KVMing between my Vista computer and my XP computer and Vista is running great. I've installed several programs (CS2, WinZip, PSP 9, Deer Park, Xvid) with no problems. I've had a few progs hang for a second but the OS doesn't stop. It's great. Also, memory management has been great so far.

Nope. I ran the same programs in XP and Vista and Vista took the cake. Everything is very smooth. CPU very low, and also, I don't know if it because it's a beta but very few things appear to be running in the background. The programs actually fit without having to scroll. :)

    • Microsoft wants to end printer driver headaches with Windows Ready Print

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      I understand Microsoft's intention here, at least I think I do. There have been so many printer driver related problems over the years due to OEM printer drivers not be compatible with the latest Windows update, that Microsoft wants to eliminate those by controlling the printer driver updates and keeping them compatible with the latest Windows update. That is okay as far it goes, but what it can do is put limitations on printers that wouldn't be there with OEM drivers since the OEM printer drivers are not universal drivers. It's a tradeoff and one can only hope it doesn't turn all Windows printers into $69 Brother printers.

      Vivaldi is a very unique browser. It's the only chromium based browser that has its own powerful and fully customizable UI. It even supports CSS like firefox based browsers do. If someone wants a powerhouse chromium based browser, Vivaldi is actually his only option. All other chromium based browsers just tweak the vanilla chromium UI. It also comes from an ethical company that has proved its ethics all these years. Something very rare in the chromium world... (all other companies which develop chromium based browsers own an ad company, Chrome, Edge, Brave, Opera etc).

      I really wish Zoom would have been the collaboration tool most organizations ended up with. Teams is garbage.

      While I agree that in some instances you should be wary of the government, shouldn't we also be wary of corporations that have the money, reach and power of many governments? Having good regulations is essential for population protection (from corps trying to make more money than the other guy). At least we can vote in and out governments, but these days your choice of consumer tech is now only a few very large players. And we also know "consumers" are idiots and need protecting, it's literally the government's job to deliver those services.
