Last time out it took me about six hours with loads of retries until all the hardware was recognized and Windows actually ran. Yes, I do it all the time and it takes 2.5 minutes of my time. This is using a slipstreamed CD with all the latest updates and setup for unattended installation. Which takes how long to create? -- Ray Fischer |

wrote: I'm a computer consultant, and am basing what I say on what I see. Computers that stay in the office of companies tend to not be loaded with games and porn, but machines that are at home (easily the biggest computing market) and work laptops that are taken home, will 99% of the time have games of some sort installed, as Windoze has a better selection of games than both the Mac and Linux put together, this puts more ticks in the wintel column. Me too. Actually, if I based my conclusions solely on what I see on customers machines, home PCs are only used to run adware, and in the office they're so tightly buttoned up they pretty much don't run anything. Grin Seriously, why does every single company selling something for Windows think it's OK to start a dozen processes on your computer, adding a fistful of taskbar icons, and nagging you every 10 minutes about buying more Lexmark cartridges? I don't see any of this on the Mac - it it because the manfacturers don't care, or that they know Mac users won't stand for it? |
