Are MVP "advisors" volunteers? by
Wegie
Mark Conrad wrote:
Are MVPs on the payroll, or merely volunteers?
If not, do those people get any sort of kickback from Microsoft,such as
a discount on software?
Would it be a good idea for Apple to employ "MVPs" also, or not?
no. and if the posts in the vista groups are any indication, most of

UAC should have been a Business class feature, not for Home Users by
JD Wohlever
I hate to say so MS, but your average joe, the person you are making UAC
for, is going
to do exactly what they are doing, that is turning UAC off.
Example, my mother is your basic Internet User. She just graduated from AOL
to
a normal broadband connection after me telling her for years how much better
broadband would be for her. She bought a PC that had Vista Home Premium on
it.
Suddenly...

Vista Product Keys? by
Nigel Molesworth
Does anyone know how the Vista Product Keys are going to work? Let me
explain why I ask.
I have 5 PCs in my household, all with XP Home or XP Pro. Eventually I
will want to upgrade them the Vista Ultimate, Home, or Home Premium,
depending on their specifications and usage.
In the past I have always bought "upgrade" software, but it's a real
PITA having to insert the old CD, so I figured if I...

Run Vista legally for at least one year/ Vista Activation doesn't stop Piracy by
Chad Harris
Brian Livingston has a new trick:
Microsoft has built into Vista a function that allows anyone to extend the
operating system's activation deadline not just three times, but many times.
The same one-line command that postpones Vista's activation deadline to 120
days can be used an indefinite number of times by first changing a Registry
key from 0 to 1.
This isn't a hacker exploit. It...

Transferring Programs and Files by

I transferred my files over from my old Win-XP Pro to my new Windows Vista.
Office 2003 Pro did not transfer over; all the documents and files did. Is
it impossible to transfer Microsoft Office when you upgrade?

Vista Sucks! by
Peter
You see many people posting here with problems because the majority of
people, who have no problems, don't bother to post here.
It's not Microsoft's fault that such and such hardware or software doesn't
work...it's the manufacturer of that stuff that is to blame.

The stupidity continues. Now a very popular printer doesn't work right under Vista by
Adam Albright
I have a Epson Photo 900. I use this to print directly on CD's and
DVD's. Just had a "web chat" with a Epson "service" guy and he tells
me it isn't fully supported in Vista because it comes with a "in-box"
driver, that of course doesn't work with Vista since the printer is a
couple years old. They do have a new driver and supposedly that's
included with the Vista DVD.
HOWEVER...

Will MS allow me to buy Vista early? by
Dr. Edison
Hello, I was able to download the RTM version of Vista. What I'd like to know
is will I be able to buy it online after I install? Or will I just be allowed
a couple days to use it before it disables itself?
Thanks,
