Little annoying balloons popping up every now and then for tiny, little unnecessary reminders.

Thats what happens when you use Windows XP at default settings, which unlike a Mac user, Windows user don't work at. ...We customise like hell & disable whatever we don't need.

Those reminders are there to, well...remind u of something. It is helpful for those who, well...don't know how to use Windows XP, means they are for you arya.

For those who can't have an all in one Mail Client in there OS, presenting Windows Live Mail desktop for Windows Vista

Easy Way = Use TweakUI & Disable in all the apps which show that. This means non-Microsoft apps

I know how to disable balloon tips but I'm not going to sit and do that on every computer I sit in front of.

And enough of the Windows bullshit now. If Windows Live Mail (the service, not the software) has POP3 or IMAP - it cannot possibly have both - then it will work fine with Mail.

God, I had to use Windows XP after a long time today and I'd almost forgotten how stupid it is. Little annoying balloons popping up every now and then for tiny, little unnecessary reminders. The computer had a Core 2 Duo processor and a gigabyte of RAM and still it was running painfully slow even though it is an original version of Windows and was installed a week ago. Damn, it sucks!

Dude you are awesome, how did you manage to run windows like sh1t on a core 2 duo with a gig of ram. That's an achievement and the indication that you are 'totally sane mac user'.

Yup, U won't. Hey how many computer you have Windows XP running on? I guess 0.

And enough of the Windows bullshit now. If Windows Live Mail has POP3 or IMAP then it will work fine with Mail.

Nope, it uses MAPI Which is Microsoft's IMAP protocol, catered for Windows Live Mail, since 1998. Damn....do I feel jealousy that some gr8 Windows Live features which are tightly integrated with Vista are not available to u on Mac.

Apple can simply buy a license from MS for this & provide it to Mac OS X Mail or as a paid addon to Apple Mail users, but....well, they will never bow to there life line. Oh wait, they always do.

Dude you are awesome, how did you manage to run windows like sh1t on a core 2 duo with a gig of ram. That's an achievement and the indication that you are 'totally sane mac user'.

Even I was wondering but I also know how insane Windows user Arya is. He installed Windows XP on C2D with 1 GB RAM, & I wonder if he forgot to install the new drivers. Hey arya was the desktop showing 32bit colour . There is no shame in reading a motherboard manual bundled.

Umm...arya's next reply is going to be, "I installed all drivers, but they should have been integrated in Windows XP CD at the first place". Yup, they should have been but Windows XP came in 2001 while core 2 duo came in 2005, sooooooo.....I hope u got the point. Ever heard of Slipstreaming? Oh wait, U can't do that on a Mac.

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

You're one to talk about people not being able to do complicated things.

Wasn't it you who thought that dragging something to the dock deleted it? Wasn't it you who could not find the Applications folder when it is right there at the first level on the hard drive? Wasn't it you who thought you could not save text files on Mac OS X?




I am pleading with you - please DO NOT divert from the topic. You want to have these stupid debates? Go to those Fight Club threads and indulge yourself.

It did deleted the "shortcut" found in sidebar. So, yeah...he was right.

Wasn't it you who thought you could not save text files on Mac OS X?

In Windows, when u save a file you are given an option to select "Save file as..." right there in the save file dialog. No such option with text edit. You first have to go to preference & configure from there. What is not there by default, is not a feature.

Do u again have nothing propre to say?

I am pleading with you - please DO NOT divert from the topic.

We are gonna have mercy on you. Point proven, Windows Live Mail Desktop is much better then Apple Mail.

My next big purchase. Definitely a Macbook Pro. When I got that standby Powerbook, it was hard to let go of that anodized aluminum finish. Truly the sexiest Mac...no...laptop there is (acc to me).

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

i read the Apple ka fast track

seriously the mac book is not worth it...its simply over priced....zero value for money

in that money u can get far better laptop which will beat mac book pro by big margin..for 75k....its look can be customized like the Cars in NFS UG2 or NFS Carbon !! it will look damn cool
and modify the windows shell and it will beat the mac ka looks big time

and for another 75k u can get a great ONKYO home theater system !! now beat this !!

anybody would rather be more proud of a customized super car then a silly good lookin car with no power !!!!

 

[aryayush]

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

And people tell Mac users that looks are not everything!

Since you read the Fast Track, can you give me a little review, even if it is negative?

Re: The official thread for any and all discussion related to Apple Macs.

And people tell Mac users that looks are not everything!

u can make a dell laptop look far better then ur mac pro by modification !!

the book is good for those who wated to know about mac stuff before buying...
and a nice timpass for me....coz i hv nuttin to do with costly stuff that too no value for money...coz i would rather get other stuff more worth buy in that money if i had

i dint knew microsoft got ideas from apple

sad for apple...no brains at all for them....they could hv made it first but they still would not beat MS even if MS had done it 2nd....coz MS solutions are good and cheap and smart !!
