| 2010/4/28-5/10 [Computer/SW/OS/Windows] UID:53807 Activity:nil | 4/28 Win 3.1 was more widely adopted than Win 3.0. Win XP (5.1) was more
widely adopted than Win 2k (5.0). Now it looks like Win 7 (6.1) is
going to be more widely adopted than Vista (6.0). Is this a trend on
Microsoft x.0 versions being bad?
\_ duh.

\_ Why is there Windows XP SP3 when there was already Vista?
Generally companies manage patches for at least two levels of
product. -tom

Service Pack 3 installed. I have a valid key that I own (yeah yeah I

for testing purposes? Will Windows or Microsoft detect copies and
disable the rest the copies?

seem to have a keyboard repeat rate and a repeat delay that's different
than the one XP uses for other Windows apps. When I do "mode con
rate=xx delay=yy", it only changes Windows apps but not the X apps.
How do I change the keyboard repeat rate and delay for X? Thanks.

I'm wondering what the best alternatives for virtualization are, and
how best to cut my teeth on messing with non-linux platforms (or I
guess interesting stuff on Linux would work too). Right now I've got
FreeBSD7 running on KVM on my home computer (on a Core 2 Quad), and am
somewhat at a loss as to how to use it. (More details: bridged

How do I force Windows to generate Thumbs.db? Googling seems
