lapse posted:Yeah but I'd be building my own, not buying one that comes with Windows installed. Newegg is selling OEM/System Builder copies of Vista with the upgrade coupon for $10 more than the OEM copy by itself.

What's my best plan for putting 7 on a new computer? I didn't see that the RC was going to work with the 7 Upgrade until after the half-off deal went away. I'm thinking get OEM Vista Business http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16832116676 and get the upgrade coupon to 7 Pro. Is there anything wrong with my logic other than I'm going to be without Media Center for a few months?

The RC (build 7100) is as recent as it will get.

I have a totally sweet licensing/reselling question that may not have an answer. I have OEM 64-bit Vista Business installed on my computer. I bought it with the free upgrade coupon, so I've ordered the upgrade for 64-bit 7 Pro and it'll come in early November or whenever. However, I have MSDNAA access and I could get 64-bit 7 Pro right now. So here are my questions: 1) Can I use the MSDNAA copy to upgrade my OS? 2) Will that 64-bit 7 Pro upgrade MS is sending me work on a computer that isn't my own? Based on the FAQ, the upgrade would still work if I downgraded to XP, so I assume it's not looking for a specific license key. 3) If I can do 1 and 2, can I legally sell the upgrade copy?

brc64 posted:I've had mixed results with reading files from the virtualstore, but I think it stems from restoring backups and having unexpected results. For example, mIRC stores settings in .INI files inside Program Files. Before I format, I backup that directory.

SpelledBackwards posted:I don't know why it would churn on the hard drive so loving much, but it was the worst when coming out of hibernate... even 5-10 minutes later it took ages to get it to respond to anything. In both cases, it sounds like your machines don't have enough RAM. 2GB should make everything run smooth. The latter problem might also be because you turned indexing off. My Vista machine does the search instantaneously. Another good feature to keep in mind is that the start menu search behaves like Firefox's location bar, so programs and documents you access more frequently will show up first.

Two questions related to Jump Lists: 1. Is there any good list of programs that take advantage of them? 2. Is there a program that will put an application's tray menu into the jump list for the app? No matter what I try to search on it just pulls up the same useless blogs that don't tell me anything other than jump lists are a new feature.

Samurai Sanders posted:Okay, thanks. Sorry for not reading well enough. Actually, he read your question wrong. Yes, it'll let you use the Upgrade disc if you're running XP. However, it's going to put that whole installation in a Windows.old folder and make a fresh installation for you. You can use the upgrade disc, but you cannot perform an "upgrade install". On the other hand, doing stupid trickery will probably be a lot faster than installing XP, then installing 7.

Office Thug posted:Nope, still brings up the Libraries explorer. Libraries is nothing more than grouping a couple of folders together. You can make as many or as few libraries as you want, in fact. If you're trying to tell a program where to save its files and you want it to go to someplace covered by your Documents library, just tell it to go to C:\Users\Office Thug\Documents since that's the folder in the group anyway.

AlexDeGruven posted:If it's just hybrid sleep that's the issue, then you should be able to leave regular sleep. You just lose the automatic ability to hibernate under certain conditions. That's actually not what hybrid sleep does. With regular sleep, you can set it so that when you sleep, the computer will wake up and hibernate after a certain amount of time. Hybrid sleep writes to the hiberfil.sys, then enters sleep. If you lose power, it restores from hiberfil.sys, but if you don't, you wake up fast because you're only in regular sleep.
