• Defrag: WHS+MC, Error 1325, Using Onboard VGA+PCI Video

  Yes! I'm with you Larry. I've been a big fan of pens and Tablet PCs for years.

  But my 4+ year old Toshiba just keeps on ticking. I may have to put it out to pasture so I can get the x230-T.

  I have a bad feeling about this Siri business. Look what happened when HAL was told to lie. Let's hope there's not an app for controlling the pod bay doors.

  @deiruch:Top result says 4 US Dollar = 3.139988 Euro. I think this even worked prior to the update.

  If you only want to browse from a certain machine couldn't you just use the web client from that machine?

  One thing I liked about mesh was the ability to sync arbitrary folders. Skydrive needs everything to be rooted in the special skydrive folder. I already had all my music in a different folder and didn't want to move it so I just the sysinternals Junction.exe tool to make a symlink from the skydrive "music" folder to where it actually lives. Works perfectly.

  Cool.

  Seems like this violates the Law of Robotics about self preservation though. The kill switch was a wise idea  in case they attempt an overthrow.

  There are other examples of things that have changed for the worse that I've always wondered about. The Photo Collage screen saver in Vista for example was really cool. They made it totally lame in Win7 which makes no sense but there must be an answer somewhere.

  Anyone know if there is a way to copy the Vista version over to Win7 and make it work?

  The Win8 CP is different than a beta. In previous windows betas you had to register to participate and there was a way to file bugs. It's not clear that there will be a way for users to file bugs for the CP.
