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. :)

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it

      By +TRS-80 · Posted

      I have not verified if any of the fixes mentioned on the below article actually work. Why Claude Code Eats All Your RAM (And How to Fix It) There are at least four separate things that can eat your RAM, and only one of them is your fault. The Four Culprits 1. Bloated Session Logs (The Silent Killer). For 2-4 and more inluding the suggested fixes, see link https://marceloretana.com/blog...aude-code-eats-all-your-ram

      One of my PC's is Windows 11 Home Edition... and guess what? it supports Hyper-V Disks and Containers, as well as WSL2... which these desktop tools leverage on an as-needed basis. It does not need to be enabled system-wide; it merely needs to exist. Furthermore, I tried something yesterday with Hermes Desktop and their "installer" actually builds everything from source as part of its installer toolchain! The installer (and updater as it were) both go through a roughly 19-step process to prep the system for the tool to be used -- and connectivity to local/remote models, local/remote agent configs, and other steps are not included as part of this process (those are all user config steps post-install). ALSO, the "bug wasn't confirmed to exist" is the weakest argument against a bug. That's literally every flawed product's knee-jerk reaction! Even politicians, lawmakers, murderers, and other violent criminals start with that defense... "I deny everything I'm accused of." The bug is the (shared) experience. Whether it's truly Claude Code's fault, or user error, or some other software package being the ultimate culprit, is not the point. They are experiencing unpleasant side effects and don't like that.

      Each generaton has its exciting times and I was fortunate enough to be right there at the beginning of the PC industry.   I don't think any of us at that time realized how large it would become I still remember working on a TRS-80 with a green screen monitor that kept overheating and dying.     Also used some TRS-80 PCs with tape cartridge memory.   They worked but boy were they slow with everything being a very slow sequential read or write.  But heh, they worked though it wasn't long before they were repaced by the HDD.

      One Drive should be a four letter word. First thing I disable on my computer. If I want to upload something to the cloud, I use a cloud base storage, NOT microsoft. Oh but what about backup. I have done backups since floppy disk eras...it just comes naturally.
