You see my point then, which is Microsoft can compete, but they have work to do in order to stay ahead. If Apple and Google find ways to seamlessly update the tablets frequently that does not impact use then Microsoft will essentially have the exiting competitive pressures and have lost their lead in the area of security patches. Point being, doing nothing (in this case focusing on the phone market) is a choice in and of itself. If they don't do anything to capture the

Possibly intermittant connectivity issues. Statistically speaking if the connection is glitchy randomly at intermitant periods, the odds are much higher you will see one hickup over 4GB (which we didn't retry by the way). Now we allow a hickup over 100MB segments and we retry up to three times during each segment. Zargon

[quote]Businesses are going to be hard-pressed to upgrade all their equipment and software to accomodate a 64b-only OS. I don't see it happening for a long, long time. There is zero incentive for me to abandon what not only works, but is necessary for critical business functions. The app vendors are going to expect big bucks for upgrades that I can't afford & won't buy.[/quote] Did you know that all hardware manufatured in the last three years supports 64-bit? Why would us

[quote]This just started happening: Please ensure the Background Intelligent Transfer Service and the COM+ Event System service are enabled on your machine, and restart Impulse. Then I go to services.msc and look and they are all on automatic. What's up?[/quote] We have removed BITS from the latest version of Impulse some time ago.

[quote]No animation though... Which means Stardock straight out lies on the bootskin product screenshots. That's not good PR guys...[/quote] We thought it would support animation, we are still working on supporting it.

[quote]ere has been another release since my last post, current version is 1.01.[b].022 which doesnt ask for registration. There is no animation on the bootscreen (using Vista) and the skin only appears for around 5 seconds, there is a period before that of blackness for around 10 seconds and afterwards of around 15 seconds before the login prompt appears. Not great but definitely a step in the right direction.[/quote] From your description it sounds like it is working correctly.&nbsp
