Wait till you start getting svchost.exe errors now bout 1 in 10 PCs get it after IE 7!

You should be fine as long as after installing it you run all other updates straight away..

Come on there use to that by now! they had the cheek to turn vista (a theame) into a so called OS!!! have you joint one to a domain yet? we had a client decide top join one and called it the same name as another PC and had to totally rename and disconnect from domain and then reconnect after having renamed it and deleted computer on server.. it totally fudges the trust relationships!

And have you seen that the user has to type in the domainusername to logon!?

Possibly a way to change that some how but i couldn't find a way after 10-15mins playing.. Is there a way to do this? if so anyone fancy pointing me in the right direction for future reference?

Regards
Liam

Look into the info on creating a short UPN on the MS support site.

Hate to say it. But if your apps are listed in the appdb on winehq why put up with the crap?
Been on Ubuntu 6.10 for three weeks now and it's not broken, borked an update or randomly decided it doesn't want to do something it did yesterday.

I seem to remember Samba can join domains (either classic style or AD these days).
