Karo, let me know if you need any help/suggestions with anything. And always remember: Work always expands to fill all allotted time. And this is ESPECIALLY true when writing technical papers, dissertations, proposals, prelims, and the like.

Thanks bud.
The problem arizes when the alloted time has whithered down to a hello and goodbye.

Is this the beta 2 or the actual release is out? I got the beta 2 in July but haven't installed it yet. Same thing with Vista. But if beta 2 is stable and you don't have problems with it, lemme know. Is it that much better?

It says beta2, but so far it's been stable.

I like it. How much better depends on which programs you use and what you do with them. The menus are easier to use at the very least. Really improves usability in my opinion.
I use OneNote for my notetaking and that's a little bit better. You can insert docs like they're printed, so you can take notes right on them. Works well with powerpoint presentations for me (even as pdf handouts). They also improved tables and added lasso...
I just installed it earlier, so I'll keep you updates as I have time to use it.


Vista is RC1 now, but I can't use it because most of my software wouldn't work. :-(
My stats software (SPSS and EQS) are the ones I'm mostly worried about. I also need to do some video editing in the next few weeks. Hmm.. photoshop would be another problem. Ugh... I hate waiting when I can have it nooooow!
If you install Vista, I think it's recommended to reformat first and start from scratch.

Re: The Ankap Thread

Cool thanks for the info! I mainly use outlook (like all the time!) and powerpoint. I sometimes use excel and once in a while word when people send me doc files. I've never used OneNote I guess because I have a bad habit of not taking notes

I was thinking about trying vista but then chickened out because I don't have the time to mess with the unknowns right now.

Maybe it's time to get a new PC for regular use and use this current PC (mostly about 3 years old) for experimenting with new software!

Re: The Ankap Thread

There are some new templates for powerpoint.
When apply a theme it changes everything -- background, colors, bullet style, etc. Diagraminig is easier too.

With Outlook... Other than interface, I don't think there's been much else changed. There's a "To Do" bar now, so you can see at a glance if you have stuff when it's closed. If you're in IT or something and using an email server. It's supposed to work better with exchange now, but this is second hand and I have no idea how. May have been junk filters or something like that.

But most importantly, have I mentioned how purdy it is?!
Get a new pc...Vista is a good excuse.
