I was sent the DVD for 5384, and I was wondering when the next release
is due?
A couple early "Joe Six pack" observations, and I guess that's what
they had to have wanted from me or they wouldn't have asked me to
participate. I'm just an all-day work user, and home hobbyist who
goes "under the hood" just enough to be dangerous not to mention to
just keep the three networked boxes under my roof running, so one day
they talked me into joining the WFP too, and here I am beta testing.
Anyway, Vista, well at least I was smart enough to dual boot it and
not upgrade like many unfortunates here did (I'm lucky I crossed paths
with Andre early here!) Overall it is perhaps a bit too buggy an
experience for something that's given out to "Joe Six packs", but I'm
learning to like Explorer a bit more as I think I might be able to
drill down faster, not sure. Glass is cool looking but is it needed?
Closed circuit to Bill Gates, I'll buy a Mac if I want one some day.
Let it go
Gadgets? Well there's been a couple of witty posts regarding the egg
timer, and its the only interesting one to me in that I first have no
idea how to use it, and secondly why I would use it if I knew how. I
can't figure out how to change the default directory for the slide
show so I can watch family pictures in it. Do I really have to move
all my kids and grand kid's pics to that default directory or what? If
so that sucks.
Regarding other MS betas on the loose, I'm quite smitten with at least
Excel and Word in Office 2007 (Joe S don't mess with Access). The
"ribbon" interface is very intuitive to use IMHO. Outlook isn't much
different really. Oh yeah I updated my band's poster in Publisher,
and that went pretty well too, so,...its OK as well I guess ;-) That
is all for now. Not much help I know, just sounding off a bit.
