Adios Vista! Windows 7 On The Horizon

Kevy Baby · 10-30-2008, 09:38 AM

Here at work, we use the "Shared Docs" folder on MY (Vista) computer as our "server" (only 6 employees). I make a point of shutting down my computer at the end of each day, but even then we run into issues that require me to reboot during the day - sometimes more than once. Which means that everybody has to close any files they have open from Shared Docs - a real PITA.

We are supposed to be getting a real server soon.

BTW: if you are using Vista, do NOT the Windows Aero color scheme - it is a real memory hog.

Oh good lord man, what are you waiting for? Get a crappy old PC, load Unbuntu on it and use that for a windows file server. Done. Free.

Permission is for L OSERS! Just do it. It'll be a month before anyone even notices they have stopped crashing and by then.....

(Or you could just stop downloading all that porn on your vista PC)
