Although i agree with littelguru that backwards compatibility would present an interesting challenge.

 

Perhaps old applications could keep the "Program Files" directory and a new directory called "Applications" could be created in the root folder.

 

Or you could even have an "Applications" directory in both the root folder and the users folder. Then if an application like Google Chrome wants to only install for the user, it could do so without stuffing its self under AppData.

The third track is really soft. Is it a bug with the media player on his website?

 I think it’s because it’s a video and recorded at a different volume. I'll let him know so his people can hopefully fix it.

Like many before, the “OMG!” title starter was passed down through generation after generation until it was bestowed on me, it is thus my duty that I continue its tradition and bless this post with its might power.

I hope it does well, his singles did pretty well. The single “Red” got to 5th on the UK singles charts.

It's a small to medium network with about 150 - 250 users. It has 2 domain controllers, both with dns. One of these domain controllers has an external dns server added to its NIC secondary dns servers as well as the two internal dns servers.

My complaint to the network manager was that the external dns server could cause replication issues if the domain controller for some reason falls back to this external dns server.

The more senior tech says that this is standard practice. To me this sounds very odd as Active Directory relies on dns to know who to talk to, so if the domain controller falls back to this external dns server the network is going to stop working.

note, the external dns server is the ISP's dns server.

I've been told that standard practice for setting up a Windows Server 2003 Domain Controllers dns is to have an external dns server as a secondary dns server. I had complained that it should be removed as the domain controller wouldn't be able to locate the other servers on the network if Windows falls back to this external dns server.

I would have thought standard practice would be to add this external dns server as a forwarder in the local dns server.

Is this standard practice?

How does the dns client work? does it always use the primary dns server or is it more of a round robin type system?

Well, it makes sense if its a couple of weeks away from official release.. I think I can wait- I'm still unsure if it'll become my primary OS until RTM, don't really like the idea of upgrading to RTM later on, I don't care how much they say it'll be fine.. I just, can't believe that.. too many bad memories..
I've had such a good experience with Windows 7 I couldn't go back to Vista. It's kind of the same feeling I had when I started using Vista as my primary and tried to go back and use XP.

I'm happy to reinstall my system once RTM comes out. Being able to do a full backup to a VHD and then mount the vhd from in windows makes this process sooo much easier than it used to be.

I guess I'm in the minority in saying: please, add a ribbon. The UI in VS2008 is at least as complicated as your average Office application, and finding things is difficult unless you've taken the time to master the current UI.

If everyone else in the world is all anti-ribbon, at least provide a way to completely disable toolbars; ugly, cryptic sets of 16x16 unlabeled icons just serve to get in my way.

Jon DeVaan has a very extensive post on Windows 7 UAC on the E7 blog.
http://blogs.msdn.com/e7/archive/2009/02/05/update-on-uac.aspx

There's a lot of information to digest. But in the end, Jon states

"We are very happy with the positive feedback we have received about UAC from beta testers and individual users overall. This helps us validate our “regular people” focus in terms of the trade-offs we continue to consider in this design choice. We will continue to monitor the feedback and our telemetry data to continue to improve our design choices on UAC."

which if I interpret correctly means as of the moment they have decided to leave UAC as it is in the Windows 7 beta.
That e7 blog post totally and utterly missed the point. We don't want Windows 7's default setting increased to "Always Notify", all we want is to be notified when the UAC level is changed. Windows 7's default is perfect apart from the fact that any application can turn off UAC without the users knowledge.
