They are still there. They just replaced the word quot;favoritesquot; with a gold star on the extreme left of the menu bar.
They are still there. You must reconfigure your toolbar to show the Icons and status bar.
I updated as well but my favorites are OK ~ still in proper place and order. You might have changed some where else. It can be reset as: Tools ==gt; Toolbars ==gt; Favorites
Nothing is greater than Linux.
Highly unlikely. I m still cussing at my Vista machine. /Remember the hype about Windows ME? ...need I say more?
Long answer, get comfortable. This is just my personal take on things... It s really hard to tell this early in the game. It would be easy to just say no because MS is usually playing catch-up with Mac and Linux, but it is not that black and white. There are a lot of factors creating many gray areas. MS is going to have to dig themselves out of a lot of bad press surrounding Windows Vista. Windows Vista was rushed out the door to try and compete with some of the more modern operating systems like OSX and the newest distributions of Linux. Because it was rushed it was really released before it was ready. This could be a very bad move for Microsoft, or is it. By combining the fact that Vista is pretty much being forced down the consumer s throats, the problems surrounding Windows and especially Vista, and the praise that Macs get from their owners (whether deserved or not), a lot of people are running out and buying Macs. Seems bad for Microsoft on the surface... but... It could be just what the doctor ordered. The reason Mac users enjoy their worry free, deserted island lifestyle (the fact that there are a lot fewer virus, trojans, spyware, etc.) is because it isn t worth it for people to write that type of malware for Mac because there aren t enough people using Mac. If more people start buying Macs, then Mac owners aren t going to be on their own deserted island anymore. There will be more incentive for people to write malware for Mac OS if there are more people using Mac OS. Should that happen then it could even the playing field a little by forcing Apple to focus more effort on security like Microsoft has to. Most of Microsoft s development time is focused on patching exploited holes and other security related things while Apple is free to focus on other things. Mac OS is most likely not rock solid, it has holes, but they don t need to spend a bunch of time fixing them because there are less people trying to exploit them, therefore they usually go unnoticed or unexploited. That could give Microsoft a little push when it comes time to release Windows 7. A lot of it boils down to one factor, if nobody uses something then nobody will complain about it. Windows is the most widely used OS. Since there are a lot of people using it there are a lot of people having problems with it. But, there are a lot of people that don t have as many problems either. PEBKAC, it s a common phrase in tech support. Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair. A lot of computer errors aren t Window s fault, they aren t the software s fault, and they aren t the computer s fault. They are the user s not knowing what they are doing. This isn t a slam against users, computer s are complicated machines and that creates a large divide between the layman and a master. Because there are more Windows users than Mac or Linux there are more problems reported. Also, Linux users tend to be very good with computers, so they tend to encounter less problems. Mac users tend to not try to push their computers to the limits, so they encounter less problems. Bottom line: Windows and Microsoft get a lot of bad press. But Windows is the most common OS for a reason. I ve used Linux (I ve always, and still do, dual-boot on all my computers), Windows (since 3.11 for workgroups), and Macs (since the Apple II). My preference overall: Windows. More software, more hardware, more options. Windows seems to strike a pretty good balance. It s easier to use than Linux and less restrictive than Mac. [I will always choose Linux for servers though]
yeah you can dual boot the os with xp just have to partition your hard drive and it gives you a option of to keep files at start if you decide not to but if you can make a recovery disc of the xp ether way and run the win7 iso disc in the boot utility and get a taste you dont lose your os or files from just running it
it will be available for DVD by retail or by download MICROSOFT are hoping by Autumn this year it is available now as a beta but i m waiting for it to come out as a retail version first then i m waiting for about a year to see if any problems (and there is always a chance of that) occur which require microsoft to release a service pack like they did with Vista (SP1) and with XP (SP1,2 amp;3)
when windows 7 gets it full release it will be aviable via retail for clean install and upgrade from vista and xp. But will also be pre-installed on new computers.
Try burning the disc at a slower speed
The first thing you need know is The word BETA means EXPERIMENTAL SOFTWARE and there Microsoft doesn t support yet.Now because it s a OS meaning window s 7, XP service pack1,2,3 home , or Vista Home Premium service pack 1 Now I hope you have the recovery disc. to take it back to OS that came in the computer because that is the only way you get back the old OS. Now if it was something like yahoo messenger beta then you can remove it from by deletion.Because you are use beta version you helping to get the bugs out of it. You should read everything before you downloaded it because would have told you that. YOU ARE EXPERIMENTING FOR MICROSOFT. Live with it. Check with updates 2 times a day. This how it s done right ..Chick start , then all programs chick on window s update Then when the box comes up left corner it says check for updates Then watch your screen and do what it says. When you get updates remember to restart your computer.Or the updates well not take hold.
Hello mamikonyana- My name is Jeff and I work with the Windows Outreach Team. I see that you have not had much luck posting your error code here. Unfortunately I do not have an answer for you, but I can say that you should make this post or look for relevant posts in Microsoft’s TechNet forum for Windows 7. Here is a link to that site. Thanks for trying Windows 7 Beta and good luck. http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Foru... Jeff Windows Outreach Team
You can use your vista installer to go back. But it s not a walk in the park. You ll need to make sure you ve backed up all of your important files. You ll not only have to reinstall vista, but all of your drivers and programs as well. Please be aware that Windows 7 is a beta version, meaning it s a test version. It s not ready for general release. Unless you re a true computer geek you shouldn t be messing with it. Especially not on your main computer! The whole thing might blow up. I strongly suggest you leave this alone. /
Did you also find Avira difficult or slow to update? Avast is one of best anti-virus programs and completely free Avast works for 60 days after installation you will obtain your FREE license key by email after you register, the license key is valid for 1 year after one year you will need to just re-register. Avast home edition is free and effective, it scans your downloads and emails for viruses (unlike AVG) and also includes anti-rootkit and anti-spyware, it can also run a boot scan, I use Avast along side Comodo Pro firewall both are free and have been independently tested and proven to be more effective then Norton or Mcafee. Avast Anti-Virus: http://www.avast.com/eng/avast_4_home.ht... Comodo Pro: http://www.personalfirewall.comodo.com/ Why Avast is better then AVG: AVG themselves state that the free version of their Anti-Virus does NOT scan downloads for malicious content where as the free version of Avast DOES, whats the point in having anti-virus software that can t prevent viruses from being downloaded to your computer, I ve also tested both using the EICAR test viruses, AVG allowed all the viruses onto the computer Avast blocked them instantly Avast offers far superior protection. test your anti-virus: http://www.eicar.org/anti_virus_test_fil...
