The Future in Computing
(Sitting here holding my breath...)
Carey, *please* take Dan along with you as you scoot on out the door. It's a perfect match! (For those who don't know Carey, he's got the brownest nose in MVP history.) -- Gary S. Terhune MS-MVP Shell/User http://grystmill.com "Carey Frisch [MVP]" wrote in message ... Welcome to the blog dedicated to the engineering of Microsoft Windows 7 http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/archive/200...5F00_team.aspx -- Carey Frisch Microsoft MVP Windows Desktop Experience - Windows Vista Enthusiast --------------------------------------------------------------- "Dan" wrote in message ... I am certainly looking forward to the future in computing. There will be so many opportunities and sky computing certainly looks more promising now as time goes on. However, I for one am a guy who likes old-school computing while enjoying new computing as well when it is needed to accomplish the task at hand. Windows Vista has been available for a while now and now we also have Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and soon will have Windows 7. Meanwhile, the browser wars are really heating up and Google has gotten into the act with its Chrome browser which I have not bothered to try out yet but know I will eventually try it out on the Windows XP Professional side of my multi-boot computer and/or maybe on Windows Vista Home Premium (32 bit) in my laptop computer. I find it annoying that if users buy a new computer so many of us have to deal with junk that is installed on the computer by default and it certainly makes me want to go and buy a retail copy of the operating system and not just deal with an oem version or a defunct and problematic image of the operating system. In my case, with the Toshiba Laptop computer the problem falls in my opinion clearly on Toshiba in this case because I sent it in and the laptop computer was repaired and returned but I had issues with it upon return. Anyway, I called up Toshiba support and used their cds to install Windows Vista Home Premium again and it almost installed correctly but had errors tied with trying to install Microsoft Works on the computer but that was the only error. Toshiba has now sent me new cds and I will eventually try again but certainly not now because I am just tired and annoyed at using the oem version and am about ready to go out and buy a retail upgrade copy of Windows Vista. The question now is I guess I will try 1 more time to correctly install the Windows Vista Home Premium oem and then finally get a retail version so I do not have to deal with all the associated crapware on the machine which is now just about 13 months old. I find time certainly does fly especially in the world of technology. Finally, I wanted to send my thanks to everyone in this newsgroup for all of their great contributions and say Long Live Windows 98 Second Edition which remains my number 1 operating system and yes my opinion is Microsoft did get it wrong by choosing the business NT source code instead of the 9x source code but I can see that Microsoft has a good chance to get it right in the future when their new operating system based on their new source code is release. Note: It will not be Windows 7 because this will still be NT based although I know from Steve Riley, MSFT comments that much of the NT source code has been reworked and rewritten, the underlying problem in my opinion, is that it comes down to the foundation of a problematic code that is too limited in computing nowadays which will indeed eventually thankfully be replaced and NT finally put to rest and hopefully that will solve many problems. The question I pose to all of you is will Microsoft be able to have an all-one-solution with one source code or is it indeed needed that there be again a business source code and a home based source code that despite the added cost and complexity is necessary in today's computing environment or is it just not needed anymore? |

The Future in Computing
Thank you for your comments, Gary and at least this newsgroup sometimes can
become more interesting when I am around and I think I am able to help at least a few users out there. In addition the information can be challenged by others which makes the Microsoft newsgroups so interesting and informative and misinformation is usually corrected by others. (Note: I know Gary has blocked me and the rest of you don't feel any need to respond to this post unless you want to. Gary's knowledge and wisdom of Microsoft Windows has been a great help to me and many of us. Unfortunately, there was a huge conflict between him and me in the past when my health and mind was poor so I don't want to cause him any additional stress or pressure because I want Gary S. Terhune to hopefully keep posting here with his knowledge of Windows 98 for a long time if he wants to of course. Finally, I am guilty of posting as Art Wilder in the past as well as trying to get Gary to respond to me in the past using other computers and email addresses and that is a huge reason I continue to post as I do with my Windows Hotmail Live email address which I know is not nearly as good as using a newsreader but as you can see I have good reasons for it.

Well, I am sorry as well and send my best regards to Gary in his future
endeavors as well. I am sure all of us will continue to benefit from Gary's wisdom in the 98 general newsgroup in the future.
