Hehehe. And in addition to that; it's pretty much impossible finding anything on MSDN without using Google. And even then most links you find in forums discussing what you googled for are dead since the content has moved for the umpfteenth time that year. And the MSDN teams response? Change the color of the graphics in MSDN from red to blue... :~

Aha! I bought a Mac Mini this spring and my economy is way better than this time last year! Coincidence? I think not! :cool:

what's focus for Weven?

The seminar was back when Vista was released so I wouldn't know. But it seems to me that the main focus of Weven is to get something else than Vista out there before all Vista users form a lynch mob and set Microsoft HQ on fire. :rolleyes:

Did you work on the Vista code base? It sounds like they could have used someone else on the team who can't tell the difference between left and right, or arse from elbow

Whuuuupsidaisy! :-O My computer won't tell me what time it is and I can't tell left from right... I feel that the world is telling me that I probably should have stayed at home today :cool:

Thread that updates or synchronizes the time deadlocked with something else maybe?

Doubt it's something serious but something hangs somewhere. The clock actually runs fine if I bring it up by double clicking the time in the toolbar. It's just that Vista somehow has stopped updating just the clock whatchamacallit in the lower left corner. It's nothing I find worth spending time on rebooting to fix since Vista uses a medium eternity rebooting and starting my necessary apps. It is however something I find well worth spending time ranting about! X|

Aaah. I remember I was at a seminar about Vista when it came out. They mentioned the focuses of their different Windows versions. Windows ME had speed as it's main focus (And O'boy! Did it crash fast!). XP had stability. And Vista had Security. I remember I thought to myself "Hmmm... they are focused on other things than stability now? That can't be good". Microsofts approach to security seems to be making the computer hang, crash, slow down for no apparent reason and behave so unpredictably that it is really frustrating to hack. So remember. It's not a bug. It's a feature. :cool:

Jeeez... this day seems to never end... According to the clock in my Windows Vista's toolbar anyway... I just noticed it has stopped :doh: How on earth is it possible that Vista can be so bad that it even fails at THAT!?!? On the plus side, my workday just jumped an houre closer to quitting time :-\

Aaah. I always love to start the day reading through new spam messages and wonder how someone actually manages to get fooled by them :doh: I really like this one I got a while back: We are pleased to notify you the "Winner" of our last Online Sweepstakes result. And, yes, the double quotes around "Winner" were in the text int the spam mail. I think it's sorta honest of them at least...

As was mentioned above, the disc isn't important. As long as you have a valid key that match the language and version of the CD you have it will install and can be activated. I have done this repeatedly and it works. Do however note that with OEM versions you might have to give MS a call to get it activated if it has been installed a given number of times.
