Vista... Don't Try to Copy and Paste
,----[ Quote ]
| Vista gave me the following when trying to copy a
| file:
|
| Error 0x800705AD. Ohh, well of course... I should have known error
| 0x800705AD means the user tried to COPY AND PASTE. Are you shitting
| me?! Insufficient quota? WTF are you talking about Vista. First
| let's check that I have enough disk space:
|
| Ok, now by my calculations 413 MBs < 22.8 GBs. I can normally
| figure out almost any computer related problem.

Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE) 7.0 Sucks!

| I know Microsoft's release of IE 7.0 is in beta, but I still didn't

Installing A PS/2 Mouse Turns Off Firewall, Huh!
,----[ Quote ]
| I plugged in the PS/2 mouse, rebooted the PC and on restart XP found the
| PS/2 mouse and suggested rebooting again, which I did. When it restarted
| the Microsoft Firewall had been switched off. How do I know, because it
| told me I had no firewall.

Vista: Behind the scenes

| Some of the glitches were already known. Many were things that have
| already been fixed, and a few were too new and need investigating.
| None appeared to be a show-stopper.

Life with Vista - Is this dogfood really for the dogs?
,----[ Quote ]
| I'm an absolute freak when it comes to .NET technologies. My blog
| is called the ".NET Addict", so it should be pretty obvious that
| the day Vista's RTM build came out, I downloaded it and installed
| it on every Vista-capable machine I had in my possession. I've
| been using Vista for several weeks now and I've come to a couple
| of conclusions that I think might startle and shock some of you.
