7/9     I need to (close to) real-time capabilities under Win2k.
        Specifically is there a way to get a consistent 1ms resolution? I
        need to use it as a clock for the rest of my program.

             \_ I realize that, but I'm restricted to a Win2k box. -op

8/8     What's the difference between Visual Studio and Windows NT SDK?  Do
        I need both to write code for NT target platform?
        \_ Yes.  What you want is the Microsoft Platform SDK, all 400 or 500
           megs worth.  You'll also need the latest visual studio service
           pack (I believe it's pack 5).

3/18    Hotmail really running on NT now?
        Or is this just the front end logon?

5/16    I'm collecting siliconInfinity spams.  Please forward (full headers)
        any messages you get from them that you consider spam.  Mailing
        a 'please stop' message is also a good idea for the use of the spam
        law,  but I think it's pretty clear that their recruiting mail is
        unsolicited.  -jones
        \_ I never respond because I don't want my email to be "verified".

4/33    My brother is a MCSE looking for a job in the LA area.  Anybody
        know of a good contracting agency in LA?  He's looking for an
        entry level NT admin position.  Thanks.
        \_ I love how people think that these certifications actually
           mean anything. "ooooh. He's Microsoft certified.  He must
           be competent."

3/16    Does Linux do SMP now?
        \_ Uh, it has been for years....
           \_ Yeup. Years of doing SMP badly. But I hear it has recently
              improved some.
                \_ Figure by 2.4 it might be almost as good as nt4 and only
                   2 more revisions behind nt2k.  Or you could just use a real

3/10    windows NT server will share one folder fine but the new folder
        can't be seen if user is on an windows 98 machine (can if user is
        on win NT).  Also, even if logged on as the owner from an NT
        client: "properties" only pops up the "general" tab and not the
        "security" tab.  Oh wait, i'm not getting the security tab on ANY
        of the machines in my domain, though i was 5 minutes ago.

2/17    How come when I install WinNT on a brand new machine, it says it can't
        format a 5GB partition using NTFS?  I thought NTFS can be very large.
        Thx.  -- yuen
        \_ On NT4, the installer doesn't know how to format NTFS.  It knows
           how to format FAT16.  FAT16 is limited to 4 GB.  If you select
           NTFS during install it actually formats FAT16, copies some

1/27    What's the difference between regedit.exe and regedt32.exe in NT?
        \_ regedit.exe supports searching through the registry; regedt32
           is smart about permissions on keys and values and the like (which
           are only applicable to NT).  I *think* regedit is basically the
           same as as on Win 9x, whereas regedt32 is exclusive to NT.
        \_ The above is good enough.  I use regedit on NT almost exclusively
