I had the same problem with networking. According to the Network Wizard(?) all machines on the network have to be runnig windows 7 as well. I can access both the other computers on my network but the others cannot even see my computer, Kid of a bummer. To install Win7 on the other 2 it would cost me the price of more ram, then I dont think I would be able to upgrade from XP to Win 7. So for now I can use the printer installed on the other machine, but the primary (Laser) is attached to my computer and the others can't access it.

I can see it just when I try to access it, it asks for a password, and I enter "administrator". I get an error message "the credentials supplied conflict with an existing set of credentials"

Any truth to the rumor that Apple has recruited ARNOLD of Terminator fame to bid farewell to VISTA?...... Any clue to the "Punch Line"?

[Noyb]

From what I'm seeing ... The only significant change is the name.
I'm wondering how much fun the Mac Ads will have with this.
Arnold would be a good one.

It's the passcode that it gave you for your "homegroup" during setup. Didn't you write that down or something?

[K7M]

Made changes to the shared folder options in networking, now I can now see the "c" drive and the public folder. I can get into the public folder but when I try to access "c" I get access denied. no option for entering a password any more. I don't even have a homegroup setup, I am using work network.

we have decided remove the initial 2.5 million limit on the public beta for the next two weeks (thru January 24th). During that time you will have access to the beta even if the download number exceeds the 2.5 million unit limit.

The ZUNE is to Apple's iPod what The Jonas Brothers are to The Beatles...The PC is to the Mac...Vista is to ANY System X.....Have you not been dissapointed by Microsoft enough times already. Buy The "New Windows" If your a big fan of the movie "Ground Hog Day". The Mac will let you run your PC apps. if you want to. STOP the Madness!

Personally, I've been quite pleased with Windows 7, in my limited use of it. Sure there are things that need fixing, but it truly is what Vista should have been. I dread deploying Vista in an enterprise situation (haven't actually made it work once yet). Hopefully Windows 7 will be different.

My OS Preferences for desktop use are:

1) Debian-based Linux, e.g. Ubuntu
2) OS X or Windows XP Pro (about equal)
3) Red Hat based Linux
4) Windows 7 (at least the beta, so far)
5) Windows Vista Business/Ultimate
6) OS 9

I threw a party a couple of weeks ago. I hooked up my "trusty" 30Gig ZUNE to my BOSE Sound Dock. The party was "Rockin" until Leap Year kicked in! The Microsoft ZUNE started the year with a whimper and went out with a CRASH @ my party. What started out as a dance party turned into Comedy Hour.............How do you Clear out an Olympic Size Swimming Pool? ...You Throw a Brown ZUNE Into it!.......How Do you Keep Your iPod from being stolen?.... You buy a "Zune Skin" for it!

You know a firmware update was released to stop that from happening.

Anyhow, let's not hijack this thread and let's keep it focused around Windows 7

Yeah, like Mac is any different than Windows.

Same crap, different OS.

I got my hands on a Flower Power iMac, "circa 1999' 1Gig of ram. I cloned Apple's Latest system Leopard to it. Runs Smooth. Try that On an older PC.

[JohnWill]

I installed it on an aging P4 2.4ghz with an old 64mb video card, it seems to run pretty well. It came up and ran everything right out of the box. I plugged in a USB 802.11g adapter, and it flashed to life and found drivers and connected with no help, other than entering my encryption key.

All in all, it was a smoother transition than Vista's installation on newer hardware.

Right now, I can't think of a lot that doesn't work, it looks a LOT like Vista to me.

[Stephen47]

will the upgrade feature work from XP to 7?
