What do u want to change in Microsoft & Windows Vista?

[goobimama]

One more thing:

A PROPER administrator account...

Aaaah! This one is a huge annoyance.

I plug in a pen drive, and open an explorer window to browse the pen drive. Then, after some time when I'm done, and I try to eject the drive, it says its still in use. Then I have to manually close those explorer windows and eject it again.

A PROPER administrator account...

Vista took away the concept of a Super Do All admin. There were some system restriction for which it is required to be a super admin, else a standard admin shouldn't be allowed to do it.

Example - Deleting C:\Windows\system32\drivers

Still if u want you can use the true administrator account in Vista like the one in XP.

This feedback cannot be given cos the problem is already fixed.

The whole Windows longhorn source code which was based on Windows XP SP2 code was scrapped in favor of Windows Server 2003 code in 2004. So overall it only took 3 years to make the version of Windows we see today.

point 1) was the "whole" code scrapped?
point 2) was it ever based on windows xp sp2????
can you point me to a link which supports this? i really wanna read it now. very much interested

an ADMIN is an ADMIN is an ADMIN and all ADMINs are ADMINs!!!! what is a "super do all admin"??? and whats a "standard admin"?????

@everyone
i guess we must STOP it now. let GX give the feedback to MS and then report back first. then we may continue. otherwise it'll be too much for MS to consider and Vista SP1 will again be delayed!!!

@GX
sir, plz forward all that you've compiled on the first page of this thread to MS. do not modify or twist anything. send it to them and post the OFFICIAL reply here. someone told me that MS takes 6 hours for a reply to a common man and much lesser to an MVP. but its ok. we'll all wait FOR A DAY for the reply. go ahead GX

Sure, here u go

When Windows Vista development originally started in 2001, however, it was then based on Windows XP. In mid-2004, Microsoft had to restart the core development of Windows Vista because it was too hard to go back and componentize the existing Windows Vista core code. So when it restarted Windows Vista development, Microsoft naturally used the Windows Server 2003 with SP1 code base instead of that of XP.

Its like Linux, u can do everything but for super admin things u need root access. Same here

I have forwarded this page & all the recomended feedback is written on page 1

 

[infra_red_dude]

Sure, here u go

thanQ for the link going thru that now.

Its like Linux, u can do everything but for super admin things u need root access. Same here

sorry sir, u are completly mistaken. there is nothing like that in any OS. not even in widows!!! there is one and only one kind of admin. all others are either in some kind of limited account or the guest account.

I have forwarded this page & all the recomended feedback is written on page 1

i'll just check out the first page of this thread too now

edit: yes, fine.. you've nicely summerized the points we are waiting for an official reply from MS now

 

[gxsaurav]

all others are either in some kind of limited account or the guest account.

There is Limited Admin in Vista, thats as far as I can explain. The real admin (Sabka baap ) is hidden in vista which u can unlock using this trick

 

[infra_red_dude]

^^^ yes thats the only admin account in vista. which other admin account are you talking about? the same thing is there in XP/2k and all. the default admin account is the only account and its hidden from the logon screen.

 

[gxsaurav]

^^^ yes thats the only admin account in vista.

Thats the super duper admin account in Vista with no restrictions on anything.

There is another standerd admin account in vista with few restrictions like the user I have

[infra_red_dude]

^^^ that is not "another kind of admin" account. that is a user belonging to the admin group! there is one and only one admin account!!!! the thing you are talking about is just an implementation of UAC on an admin group account. what happens if you disable UAC? aren't you able to "super do" all things on this account of urs??!

edit: that was a nice read GX i thot vista was always based on windows server 2003.

 

[infra_red_dude]

Hello GX bhai....

We all are still waiting for MS' reply......

 

[piyush gupta]

There shoould be a option for "Use these settings for future" in Vista UAC so that each time we need not to say allow.

@gx_saurav

Eventhough I am not using Vista rt now, would like to see the response from MS.

Please keep us posted.

 

[infra_red_dude]

GX GX GX GX GX...... GeeX... where are you????? its been a week now, since you supposedly submitted the requests to MS.....

 

[Kiran.dks]

Make the price of products affordable.

 

[infra_red_dude]

yeah kiran, that point has already been taken into consideration (and prolly is the most suggested one! ). we are waiting for the official reply from MS which GX's gonna post here.

 

[mediator]

And no more Mandatory stuph please! Have mercy!

 

[infra_red_dude]

ok GX.... no replies from you or MS... i'd heard that MS replies within 6 hours and even earlier to their MVPs. so this can mean:

1) you hafn't forwarded anything to MS. jus coz of the other thread you started this nonsense.
OR
2) you forwarded all the suggestions claiming as your own and got some reward from MS and hence not posting the specific reply by MS to you!
OR
3) MS discriminates between MVPs. it doesn't give a damn! to MVPs like you! but treats other deserving, knowledgable MVPs like Saurav basu (choto cheeta), Anand, Shan and Vishal Gupta with respect.
OR
4) YOU ARE NOT AN MVP!!!

choose one from the above, you haf no other choice. don't make up replies and try to post now. there has been 10 PAGES of spamming in this forum due to this piece of sh!t.... its high time you admit it now!!! seriously, why are you hell bent on bringing a bad name to all the MVPs?????
