One cannot serve two masters.

 

You must either bow before Steve Jobs or Bill Gates. Not both.

 

Having two religions is not socially acceptable.

Can anybody tell me how I could have the manual logon screen like those in XP?

 

Apparently there is a "administrator" account but I can't login to that account.

Nobody knows how?

First impressions of Windows 7

 

I installed Windows 7 RC on a 2004-era PC. (Xeon 2.8GHz HT, 2.5GB RAM, 67 GB HD)

 

It installs pretty fast — in about half-an-hour. And it only takes up 10 GB, including the swap space and hibernation file. (It is still a lot compared to XP, but it is a lot better compared to Vista.)

 

It looks and feels a lot like Vista. No wonder people are saying this is Vista Service Pack 3.

 

I'm stuck at 1024x768 due to my unsupported video card. I'm able to install the XP driver to get 1600x1200, but I also get the BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) from time to time.

 

What's next:

 

1. After I installed it, I found that Windows 7 has gone gold! I will need to reinstall it.

 

2. I may buy a low-end graphics card so that I can use the Aero interface.

 

Buying a graphics card for such an old PC is not easy. Most graphics cards are now in the PCI Express form factor. I don't think the PC supports it. I need to get a AGP card.

 

Also, since Windows 7 is out (for corporate users at least), I may install it on my notebook instead of updating to Vista SP2.

After installing Windows 7 RTM, it has slowly taken over as my main OS. WinXP interface look dated compared to Win7. I like the new taskbar, much more useful.

 

But it seems that IE8 still got some bugs.

Now I am reverting back to Windows XP liao.

 

Under Windows 7 ..... they disable the file extension view .... and I can't seems to open the "Folder Options" ....

 

After changing back to XP ... I realised that Windows 7 still did something to XP.

 

Think I'll have to reinstall Windows XP again liao.
