Welcome to the MSFN!

Are you using one of the pre-release versions of Windows 8?

This was true with previous versions of Windows. Microsoft has changed how licenses to OEMs are distributed. Instead of ordering in bulk lots, license is purchased by an OEM on a per install basis. This change in how the OEM license works would mean that the figures should be lower, not higher. But another important thing to note is that Downgrade Rights sales would definately count, even if the end result is that an end user received a PC with Windows 7 installed on it. It is possible that they are counting at least those 2 million Surface tablets...

Y NO Pac-man Fever?

I have never found a consumer grade CD player that was capable of playing an audio CD burned to a CD-RW. Last time I tried such things was over ten years ago, so it is possible that such players do exist.

There doesn't appear to be any real drivers for this from them. Try reinstall the chipset drivers for your motherboard.

Well I'm not sure what the cause was. If you run into this problem again with an Intel driver installer failing, remember that the log files are kept in C:\Intel.

And it's not just Surface RT tablets. Windows 8 has been out for less than five weeks. I can report (and speaking of Staples) that I'm already receiving ads for clearance sales on Win8 laptops by HP and Toshiba. Maybe (just maybe) customers are driven away by those hideous purple Start Screens that they've stuck on (seemingly) every display model and advertisement. --JorgeA I am waiting for when I can't use my two hands to count the number of Windows 8 licenses that have been sold since GA.

+1 from me. I think that once MS finally takes away the DOS prompt, that will be the last straw for many of us. Let's hope that day never happens.

Its certainly possible. Did your company go through that phase 10 or so years ago of people installing free screensavers?

Yeah there is some way to do that, but not via that screen or Folder Options. I don't recall, maybe I can figure it out tomorrow.

Windows Explorer can! http://support.microsoft.com/kb/310297

There are some interesting Winamp skins... http://www.winamp.com/skin/classic-70-s-marshall-stack/222330 http://www.winamp.com/skin/cpro-hifi-73/221975 http://www.winamp.com/skin/modern-classic/221922 http://www.winamp.com/skin/audiorack/145065 There are a crap load in the retro section. I do recall an old program from my 9x days that looked like what you are looking for, but I can't even begin to remember what it was.

What is the OS of your WDS Server?

Maybe I feel nice today and will give you one little chance. No spam. All the links you posted have been removed, please read the forum rules.

That recent article about Foxconn was to make a Microsoft Windows 8 Phone. Its speculation that it might be called Surface Phone... It would be a bad move calling both the tablet and a phone Surface. Samsung gets away with it with their Galaxy products, but each one has a suffix like Tab or S or whatever. Microsoft has already caused confusion among consumers by have Windows 8 be the name of the OS for Phone, RT and desktop, and further confusion by having no suffix on the "Core" version of Windows 8.

I find it strange that it shows up. Presumably using the Live ID should allow to sign into the system on the local level... It makes sense that you cannot log into the domain using the Live ID, since that account would need to be added to AD Users first.

I'd say this is waaaay out of StartIsBack's context. Are there any Start Menu/Screen replacers in the app store now? I was under the impression that such apps wouldn't be allowed into the store.

I know it is possible to use MDT to build stand-alone media (DVD or USB i guess) in case you do not have the ability to do network deployments. I haven't done it myself but I have seen examples from clients.

Not all MP3s are created equal. They can have different gain levels at the same sampling rate. Have you tried playing with the EQ built into Winamp?

Good point. It doesn't hurt to disable audio inputs (like mic) that aren't being used.

There are predefined PHP functions to get the time, including minutes. http://www.php.net/manual/en/class.datetime.php#datetime.constants.types

A stock Windows 7 bootable Live DVD isn't really something that is easily made. You are better off using something like Make_PE3 or Winbuilder to build a WinPE 3.x bootable CD/DVD with Windows features.

I had some trouble getting a DD-WRT D-Link N router to connect to a stock Linksys N router. It just never seemed to work. Do you think that you need the custom firmware on both routers?
