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

[gxsaurav]

1) Zero configuration networking. I just want to do some networking here and not worry about permissions and IPs.

Point taken. It should be like "Plug the cable & connect". Well....connecting using LAN is already possible using this method.

However I hope u know that internet connection sharing does needs providing proper IP address whether it is Windows, Linux or Mac.

2) Better Security. Common. The UAC is a joke. I still get viruses in here, WITH an antivirus installed.

Bugs will always be there, but still point taken. Remember, Microsoft is not allowed to make the kernel isolated & protected from intrusion after Symantec & Mcafee sued Microsoft.

3) More responsiveness of menus and dialogs. Even on a Core 2 Duo, the interface seems a bit sluggish.

Point taken. . I m sure Vista SP1 & its code audit will sure enlighten u.

4) Stop advertising something as childish as Flip3D as a prime reason for someone to spend $400 on an OS...

He he....now now goobi, I don't wanna talk about how Apple Marketed iPhone here

*** sorry to pop in. ***

i'm having a gut feeling, that someone is playin d fool with everyone.

Will someone need to go knock their door and tell them what people need.

Is Cell CPU available out there for purchase by general public? Microsoft released Vista X64 for 64-bit CPU, how much is the demand for this?

Not at all intensive on Cell Broadband Engine if you were listenting and understanding what I was saying.

Read above, Is Cell CPU available out there for purchase by general public? If it is available & there is demand MS will sure port it.

he used microsoft provided tools to make the mods but yet he was sued,

This not something to do with this post. Would u mind posting the to the point. Plz stop trolling

this is the sad nature of MS and why no coder bother to make any change to the sofware made by mentally retarted people who sue others just for the fun of it because they know the poor coder doesn't have enough money to afford a dragging legal battle!!

5th warning, thread reported.

help~is ~here : in the whole thread i find you trolling and making abusive comments , this is a warning.. just remain on topic and dont use abusive words.. if you feel someone else is abusing you or the things you support , just report it.. and action will be taken, but you are self explaining things... (in the statement below you are offending over 70k people.. ?)

and many such comments in forum...
try not to...

 

[gxsaurav]

Thanx for cleaning the thread Shantanu.

Fellow members, plz provide more feedback & ideas. Unless you tell them, MS isn't going to know what people want.

Kindly tell what all MS is allowed to do, so that people can give their suggestions conveniently and not about what it can't do like as in MS * EULA! You surely don't expect people to have a full fledged knowledge abt MS history, its patents and what all it can't do and afterwards say "No it can't do that" when people have given their view point!!

Please give us a list of what all MS can do under its constraints so that the frequency of your statement "No it can't do that" reduces dramatically!!

Microsoft cannot make a locked & isolated kernel protected from any kind of intrusion due to a lawsuit disallowing them from doing this.

Please give us a list of what all MS can do under its constraints so that the frequency of your statement "No it can't do that" reduces dramatically!!

I have updated post 1

I hope trolling stays nil in this thread. Everyone blames MS for this & that....well, if u know whats wrong with them then why not tell to fix it.

The price structure of Microsoft products in not in accordance of Indian standard.Not many people can afford to spend around 10k for Vista including me.Although I wouldn't mind paying 2.5k as you stated in your first post.

Yup, a good option is to buy Windows digitally, why not sale Windows Vista Home Online in India for Rs 2,000 only without the package, manual etc & just one ISO. Pay Rs 2,000 online via a credit card & download the ISO via Microsoft file transfer manager.

There are 2 problems with this though. Lack of online purchase interest & slow broadband connection. But that can be removed, its not like u download WIndows ISO everyday.

Yep simple straight Vista at lowest prices without any bells and whistles.

Maybe free to engineering students.hehe.

Now this might not be possible due to the sorry stage of broadband & online purchse in India but worth a try.

Maybe free to engineering students.hehe.

Check out Microsoft's education license

i wud accept that a free copy to enggs ... only these mvps get fukat ka maal

who told you its fukat ka maal.. indeed its not

its hard copy of our hard work

 

[The_Devil_Himself]

Engineering students should be given free copies or atleast some special rebate lets say 80%-90% off.Otherwise they will pirate cos they also need beer and sutta to live.

 

[iMav]

abey u dont need beer and sutta to live ... dude cut down ur cigs and beer u can afford any software's licensed copy ... we once calculated a frenz expense on drinks and cigs

 

[gxsaurav]

If you are student then you can sure avail Microsoft Educational License

•Are you eligible for academic discounts?
•How to buy guide for education
•Work at Home rights and Student Option

For this, when Microsoft tried to collaborate with schools & colleges in India, they were opposed by Linux users on internet, & in real life too. So, Microsoft does provides the options, its just that people don't know or don't want to know while they keep on blaming MS.

What ever college u r in, plz contact the faculty for information or Microsoft India

A beer can>>>>>>>>>original vista.So forget it.I can do without sutta though.

My point was to provide free copies to engineering student.Don't tell me it is not feasible because it actually is feasible.
