Vista Bits and Bobs

[Matra et Alpine]

REMEMBER every Vista release out their is beta for developers.
SO do NOT use it to judge Vista's reliabilty, performance or stability.
AND read the samll print ... MS dont' say you can uninstall it cleanly .... WATCH what you install , you may have trouble and find it won't uninstall cleanly.
This happens every time MS do pre-releases and it gets into the public forum.
CAVEAT EMPTOR ( even when it's free )

Office 2007 is still named Office 12, I have it, it's pretty awesome for a pre-release.

I'm getting WMP11 now.

make sure you still dont' have the old ISPs proxies
A common problem !!!

Again newsgroups uses all your download possible provided by the ISP and a film downloads at your maximum download and youll have it in about an hour or even less

dont quite know, our isp was v odd (CSB - Central Suffolk Broadband, they were set up to provide bb to places bt couldnt via wi-fi from churches, only it was waaay slower than they claimed), you just plugged it into the router and it registered as a network connection, anyway, nothing was ever put on our pc's to make it work, and with BT we have to use their router, so it cant rly be that!
