I Now Have Open Source Linux Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 1, Just FYI. I Have Removed The Pictures Of Open Source Linux Ubuntu Alpha 1, From My Blog Since I Am Unsure Whether Posting Those Pictures Is Legal Or Not (It may Violate Microsoft's Rules Even If It Does Not Violate Ubuntu's Rules), Just FYI. 2 Get Alpha 1, All You Need 2 Do Is Create A Ubuntu 8.04 Long Term Support Installation, Install All Available Updates, Then Change The Upgrade Setting In Software Sources From Long Term Support Releases Only, 2 Normal Releases, And Then Type (Sudo Update-Manager -D) From The Terminal Command Prompt In Accessories, Just FYI.

Just FYI, I never saw someone calling it like this "Microsoft Windows Vista Service Pack One Ultimate Edition Release 2 Web"

Well, come on, cut the poor lad some slack, he is American after all. Land of the free, home of the oh-so-special :)

If you have had problems with Vista SP1 (which is a tested and released package), I find it strange that you would be running development alpha versions of a new OS. :ermm:

It seems that you would almost be guaranteed to end up with more problems than you experienced in production-released Vista.

    • Windows 10 quietly gets one more year of support and updates

      Hello, Interesting. I suspect memory and storage costs have slowed the rollout of Windows 11-compatible hardware for some customers. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
    • Microsoft raises Xbox console prices by up to $150, discontinues 2TB version

      By Snake Doc · Posted

      Especially considering their console sales have fallen double digits YOY for 4 years, and no one is buying them. If they were losing $50 on every console, losing 15K a year is no big deal to them
    • EU says AWS and Microsoft Azure should be treated as DMA gatekeepers

      By Nick H. · Posted

      Counter-point: if someone comes up with a new way of doing things in their homeplace, should they be offered the options of being bought out by a higher-grossing competitor or suffer their tech to be taken over by force? Because those are the options these days when it comes to the big-stakes companies. Don't get me wrong, the DMA has its flaws. All regulations do. But at the moment with Google, Microsoft, Meta etc. they need to be told to back off to prevent a monopoly that would weaken whatever industry they work in. It's the understanding that money doesn't get you anything that you want, and big-tech need to understand that.
