#WINDOWS 7 THEME FOR WINDOWBLINDS HOW TO#
A quick google later and I knew how to get it to install the stack and drivers that it includes but won’t install by default (it involved some file copying and.
#WINDOWS 7 THEME FOR WINDOWBLINDS BLUETOOTH#
And just yesterday I spent an hour trying to get a bluetooth adapter going before realising that maybe 2008 doesn’t include a bluetooth stack by default. It does require some more work to get it going as a desktop, post-installation enabling of Aero and turning on services to allow sound cards to work and disabling dialogs asking you just why exactly you are rebooting or turning off your PC, and so on. So I use VirtualBox instead, which to be honest would probably work just as well on Vista or XP. The only letdown feature-wise is that Hyper-V is completely useless to me, as it’s really only intended to run multiple copies of Windows OSes, and fails horribly on Linux. 2k8 supports the new WPF junk as well as Vista does, not that I ever use that. Visual Studio 2k8 is also much faster on 2008 than it was on XP, though I didn’t try it on Vista to compare. Despite that, it supports all the same hardware as the equivalent Vista (圆4 2008 uses the same drivers as 圆4 Vista, x32 2008 uses the same drivers as x32 Vista), and all my games run at the same speed as on Vista (or 32-bit XP for that matter, though I do still dual-boot for some games). It feels more intended for users like me, not trying to hide files from me by default or force me to click through 5 layers of control panel to get what I want. I like to describe it as Vista without all the annoying stuff, though to be honest I wonder if the majority of the improvements come from the fact that I’m running as an Administrator. I’ve been running 圆4 2008 “workstation” for about 3 months, ever since MS gave me a free copy (and a free copy of Vista Ultimate which I tried briefly but settled on 2008) for attending one of their free seminars/sales pitches, and I agree that it’s the best OS from MS so far. Really the only reason I keep XP around is because GameTap isn’t 64-bit compatible and because GRAW 2 has problems with 2008 (on my computer - I should really try reinstalling it and using a new profile to make sure it doesn’t have some leftover settings that are messing it up).

Plus Vista 64-bit drivers seem to be pretty easy to find nowadays, which I gather isn’t always the case with XP64 drivers. If you consider 2008 to be Vista without the annoyances, I think the advantages of 2008 make up for the slight performance drop, and if you add in the handful of games where 2008 is faster and the even smaller handful where DX10 can or must be used, I think it’s a better choice (if you have both available and aren’t going just for raw numbers). That said, it isn’t *much* faster, less than 100 points in 3DMark 06 (and Vantage would only run on 2008, obviously, though I haven’t tried it), and 2% or less average FPS in most games. So it might not be too surprising that my XP is faster. Also 2008 is running a fair amount of junk (debug versions of DX, terminal services to allow VS debugging, assorted other junk at startup) and the XP is pretty minimal and nLited, being used only for running games (without StarForce though). Of course that’s not a great match up for guessing the difference between XP 64 unless there’s a handy conversion between XP and XP64 performance. On my computer, 32-bit XP SP3 is a little bit faster than Server 2008 圆4, even though the 64-bit version can take advantage of the 4GBs of RAM. To me, its splitting hairs – come up with a single price, then charge different price on top based on the level of support you demand from Microsoft. This artificial crippling of Windows for the sake of making a few extra dollars is just plain stupid – and Microsoft is repeating it with Windows 2008 with the various editions like, “web server edition” etc. It reminds of chatting to a Windows developer one time (I was ignorant of Windows back then, less so now (but still ignorant to on certain matters)) and I could never work out why he was running Windows server when he could run the workstation edition.Īnyway, to cut a long story short, he explained all the limitations of Windows ‘Workstation’ to Windows ‘Server’ – alot of them really stupid, especially when one wishes to test applications.

Probably about as many times as a hardware-locked activation key has trashed an otherwise sound DR plan… How many times has the average admin found that he doesn’t have the right edition to enable some paltry feature he needs? (For instance, in SQL Server: data driven reporting subscriptions, database snapshots, etc etc). That’s one of the great freedoms of Solaris or Ubuntu - one edition fits all. Market segmentation annoys me and really wastes the time of those in the trenches.

It all boils down in selling the same code in a bunch of similar but different, different yet similar packages.
