Cool. I figured they'd learnt their mistakes from the first months of Vista (Pre-SP1), but I've got a bit much on before looking into it in depth!

Yeah, it really is a shame because there are some in the business that swear by it - but we've either got to stop it as a whole, or allow it, otherwise our userbase would moan if they saw us using it. All it needs is it's own version of WSUS/AV Console type stuff so that patches can be...

Not even touched it. I'll get the RTM when it's made available as I did with Vista - RC1 had so many new bugs over the Beta it just made a joke of the process - by RC1 you should be polishing, not introducing features!

But again, not a public release, so no support, no fallback and at the end of it all there's no clean 'upgrade' to the RTM/GPR version when they're available. It genuinely is a support nightmare - and one that riles me because so many do it and then turn to their techy mates (who spend all day...

Again though, you've missed the point I made - there's no central update/management tool as there is with IE. I can tell you now how many of our computers don't have the latest security updates for IE7 - I can even tell you if someone is using IE6, or whether someone has installed IE8. I can...

It's a valid point. Betas are something you venture into with no support, knowing that any issues you have you need to fix yourself. If you don't know to get the latest version from Microsoft, I'd hazard a guess that you're not really the target audience for a beta (particularly an OS beta).

I guess so, but still not too keen as we can't say whether someone has had it installed or not without physically checking. -1 for Firefox. Corporate environment is where it really needs to shine, and it just doesn't.

One question for all you anally retentive geeks. How do you centrally manage the deployment and update of this? As I'm reluctant to let the boss have his way at present because we'll put out the current version and come 6 months time there will be dozens of security exploits as is always the...

Fools + Small Knowledge = Trouble. If you knew enough about computers to be using W7Beta, you shouldn't have to ask these questions.

They should never click. Clicking means reseeking. As McBunny said, replace the drive (looks like it's HDD1 from that message) and all should be well.

I can't help but feel that sitting on top of a V12 engine isn't the best idea anyone ever had!

For their utter f**kup with the iLO 2 Management Controller driver (v1.9.0.0). b*****ds. c**ks. tw*ts. And their 'fix' doesn't even make it reboot any faster! Prey to god that it fixes the bloody random restarts, or I'll go and buy an IBM server instead. Pillocks. Can I kill DK?

Roffles, true. Wouldn't trust Belkin to keep my piss warm.

As above, it could be charging circuit (which is mainboard) so if you can, it's a good idea to get a borrowed one.

Fuel Injected computers. Whatever will Steve think of next!

To be fair to HP, it's not their fault - it's nVidias.

You have (still do, BTW, they're not fixing it just bodging it) one of the faulty nVidia graphics chips. What they h'actually did was swap the motherboard for another one and load a new BIOS with a different fan profile, which just runs louder/faster all the time to keep the GPU temperature down...

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6 Ahem. Sorry, that's just how it leapt out at me...

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6 Bad idea with an iPhone. Remember 'boop-boop-boop-boop-boop-boop' when listening to Radio with your phone next to it? ;)

I think you'll find that's called piracy. If it's for ringtones, didn't people grow out of that with changing covers on their 3310/8210/8310 etc.? Obviously excluding Market stall phone shops who always seem to have something utterly bizarre. You could call it an oversight to exclude it, but...

Bluetooth on all iPhones, A2DP on 3G and 3GS. WiFi on all of them. I'm on my iPhone, on my Wireless now... Compass is ace, much. Google maps works with it and it makes wandering around strange cities a cinch, because there's no guesswork as to which way you're looking. It seems so trivial...

Oh, and ref quad core, maybe. Wouldn't buy one myself without quad now, but dual will still do. Personal preference os-wise is dx10 on Vista...

You could buy my gaming rig for very reasonable budget...

Re: iPhone Software 3.0 - Out 17/6 & iPhone 3GS - Out 19/6 Not *quite* yet.

True.

Written or bodged? WM isn't the worst Mobile OS ever, not by a long way. On the right device, I still stand by the fact it only lacks the toys/gimmicks/bling of the iPhone. I still <3 my iPhone, but it was a close call between that and the Touch Diamond 2.

Beg to differ - at least WM is optimised for touchscreen now. S60 goes back to my old Nokia 3230. That's a bad thing.

Alright having a million million pixels, but it's sod all use if the sensor is crap quality.
