I have already put 2 'Crapsta' computers back on Win2000. Solved all my problems.

Unfortunately I need one Crapsta computer to test with because clients are getting it. I will be very happy when people start

buying Linux computers. I hope that 5-10 years from now we are not forced to do business with M$ anymore. It would be great to be

able to tell clients that we don't support M$ crap.

Subject: When is an administrator not an administrator?

Answer: Vista

I've got this new "hot" laptop, fully decked out. Vista Home Premium.

Okay, I don't have to attach it to a domain so I don't need Ultimate or

anything.

I'm trying to get up and running with my development environment. Vista

says that I'm the Administrator on the box, and there aren't any other

users configured {Opps! WTF?!? I wouldn't have set myself up as an

Administrator if I had known.} But wait! I'm trying to configure a

West-Wind application and it's having trouble running the Console.exe

magic which registers it. It's saying that I'm NOT an administrator.

I'm about to poke my eyes out after a day of frustration when I decide

to Google instead: "How do I know if I'm an administrator on Vista?"

I found this tip to make the Administrator magically appear from

nowhere:http://tinyurl.com/2q56p3

Notice that when you "Run as administrator" there's no password

required. Insanity.

VFP definitely runs slower on my new laptop than on my old XP Pro desktop.

I'm feeling dirty after running Vista, but I need it for day in and day

out VFP development. Oh well. Thought I'd share.
