@Mike

I heard if you activated the 32 bit version of Ultimate you could never activate the 64bit version. Do you, or does anyone know if this is the case? I'd like to uninstall the 32 bit version and use the 64 bit version on my next build.

Thanks for any help you can give.

You all need to stick to the topic...just like I do ;)

...of answering all my questions, that is.

I love this blog!

@Waethorn - Do you REALLY need me to provide proof that not every past and present member of the GOP pronounces it Nucular? If so, then provide proof that we Republicans are all idiots...BTW, use the medical definition, not the one that is just used as an insult...

@Waethorn - Not being from the US, I assume that you are ignorant of the facts and not just ranomly poking fun at a guy who has been permantly injured? Nice...

"Not that I think that McCain is the right person for the job...just that he is the lesser or 2 evils at this point."

Sure, pick the WHITE GUY! :P

Did you honestly see McCain in the previous debate? I turned it on for about 5 minutes just for a laugh and he was shuffling around the stage like he was suffering from a bout of incontinence (Doc knows what I'm talking about).

If he can make a mess of his pants that easily, then the US is doomed!

Well, the presidential candidate says 'Nuclear':

"I can name many current and past GOP members of the Senate and Congress that do not pronounce it Nucular, thus your statement "it was mandatory for the RNC." is incorrect, wrong, flawed."

There are 2 omissions with that statement:

First, proof.

Second, it still doesn't explain the fact that Republicans are idiots.

Sorry, Mike...but again, you are wrong. I can name many current and past GOP members of the Senate and Congress that do not pronounce it Nucular, thus your statement "it was mandatory for the RNC." is incorrect, wrong, flawed. Your sampling was much too small and unbalanced. Much like the samplings of the current polls regarding the 2008 Presidential election.

Nice try, though. Come on, Mike...say it. 3 short, 1 syllable words - "I WAS WRONG" Most of us are able to do that...Heck, even John McCain did regarding the Keating 5 (by the way, of which 4 were Dems) fiasco...and Barack Obama cannot even tell us why he continually associates himself with questionable characters such as Bill Ayers and Reverand Wright. Its not about whether he condones or denounces what they did or said...just that he has a habit of long term relationships with them.

Not that I think that McCain is the right person for the job...just that he is the lesser or 2 evils at this point.

"someone at the forum actually installed it on this laptop"

Ok, that's just dumb. For one thing, you can't use standard power management stuff on mobile computers in Server 08 because it doesn't include the same functionality as Vista in that regards.

"a lot of the bloat that was in Vista is disabled by default in Server 2008"

Actually counters this statement:

"if you want, Server 2008 can basically be transformed into full featured Vista"

It can't be, actually, and it requires a lot of work to get it even close. Server 2008 suffers from another type of "bloat", and that's all the server services running in the background. Paul already talked about the silliness of such claims, as did Ed Bott. They are the same codebase. Performance due to services isn't an argument because those services can be turned off in Vista.

With computers coming with Windows Vista now, what's the point?

It funny you mention it, as someone at the forum actually installed it on this laptop:

If the execs at AIG are suicidal, they're sure doing a good job of hiding it.

BTW, is this statement accurate:

"Server 2008 is slightly newer than Vista and would be acceptable as a server (obviously) or as a lighter weight gaming/ desktop platform than Vista. By default, a lot of the bloat that was in Vista is disabled by default in Server 2008. However, if you want, Server 2008 can basically be transformed into full featured Vista. So if want to install legit Windows on another machine, give this a look. "
