[edit] Graphics Device Interface

Here's a change you made recently: your change

After reading the citation you added, I believe the quoted text is taken out of context - it refers to GDI applications running with DWM (i.e. Aero) as opposed to running Vista's UI without Aero - there is noticeable tearing in this mode - "Vista Basic" as it is not hardware accelerated, as previously stated in the same citation, as well as others.

If, for example, your machine is not capable of running Aero, you will experience a much worse desktop experience than running XP - as GDI+ is not hardware accelerated. I hope you consider this if you make any further revisions to this article.

Well then modify it to say "When Windows Aero is enabled" and when it isn't. :-) - xpclient Talk 18:48, 3 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Im aware of that

Im aware of that, however older versions of Windows 2000 without Service Pack 4 cannot upgrade. Certain versions of Vista cannot be upgraded to if the client has Windows 2000 and wants to upgrade. Thank you for correcting my edits. As you can see I am not a Vista fan :) // A Raider Like Indiana 23:08, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

I reverted my edits back, however

Windows 2000 was superseded by Server 2003 and XP not Vista and Server 2008. Server 2003 and XP were superseded by Server 2008 and Vista. I fixed that issue.// A Raider Like Indiana 23:15, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] List of Carbon applications

A proposed deletion template has been added to the article List of Carbon applications, suggesting that it be deleted according to the proposed deletion process. All contributions are appreciated, but this article may not satisfy Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and the deletion notice should explain why (see also "What Wikipedia is not" and Wikipedia's deletion policy). You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{dated prod}} notice, but please explain why you disagree with the proposed deletion in your edit summary or on its talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised because even though removing the deletion notice will prevent deletion through the proposed deletion process, the article may still be deleted if it matches any of the speedy deletion criteria or it can be sent to Articles for Deletion, where it may be deleted if consensus to delete is reached. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Dougie WII (talk) 00:26, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of List of Carbon applications

I have nominated List of Carbon applications, an article you created, for deletion. I do not feel that this article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion, and have explained why at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of Carbon applications. Your opinions on the matter are welcome at that same discussion page; also, you are welcome to edit the article to address these concerns. Thank you for your time. Do you want to opt out of receiving this notice? Dougie WII (talk) 11:37, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Sorry

Sorry, I had to nominate a couple of articles created by you for deletion. I hope you realize there is nothing personal in this. :-) Btw, I responded to your chat messages. --soum talk 20:34, 19 April 2008 (UTC)

I guess List of applications with iCalendar support also fits the bill as per Wikipedia:Deletion policy? :-) Btw, which criteria does it not meet? Is it "Content not suitable for an encyclopedia" or "Articles that cannot possibly be attributed to reliable sources" or both? xpclient (talk) 20:46, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
These are not failing any wikipedia policy per se. The problem is that these lists are just listing the articles. If thats the only use, a category is a better solution: you don't have to manually add the stuff, just create the articles and it gets listed. It also automatically deals with deletions and moves. Plus categories also automatically sorts them (alphabetically). Also, list articles are magnets for advertising. All these make categories a better solution. But if the list were to provide some extra organizational structure or extra informatiion (like List of Microsoft Windows components) then obviously its not a candidate to be replaced by categories. --soum talk 04:35, 20 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Hey

You once told me that you do not like Image:Visual Studio Editions.svg. Is Image:Visual Studio Editions Compact.svg any better? --soum talk 08:01, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Yes I think much better and easier to understand for readers. :-)

Nice sig you have created for yourself. :) --soum talk 05:16, 15 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks :-))))

[edit] Win2k

Thank you for your intelligent input to and good work on the Win2k article. Sorry but I've asked another little question, hidden within this. Could you take a look? Morenoodles (talk) 04:45, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

Thank you! And I've just now posted another. I'll probably post more, too, but I won't clutter up this page with notices about them. Meanwhile, thank you for your patience. Morenoodles (talk) 06:42, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] SSP

They're called Security Support Providers, not Security Service Providers. Don't get confused with the term "Credential Security Service Provider"... they aren't the same thing. -/- Warren 19:02, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

I think both terms are used by Microsoft and others. Do a search for this, this and both again without the "site:microsoft.com" suffix :-). - xpclient Talk 19:08, 24 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Features removed in Windows Vista

Hi, Some VCD records different languages in the two audio channels (say Cantonese in left channel and Mandarin in right channel), one can use that feature as a 'bilingual'. While in Windows XP, one can select left or right audio channel only while playing VCD with WMP. This function is gone in Vista.--218.102.95.31 (talk) 12:52, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for replying. I got it after Googling a bit. ;) You mean its gone because of the volume mixer/volume control changes or it's removed from the WMP UI? :-) - xpclient Talk 13:09, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
In XP, there is no need to touch the mixer to use that function; all you need is right-click the playing screen in WMP and select audio and from a list of 'both channel', 'left channel', 'right channel' and 'mixed'. This sub-menu is gone in Vista--218.102.95.31 (talk) 13:17, 25 May 2008 (UTC)
You mean WMP 11 on XP too? Can you clarify where exactly is this feature? I can't find it. :)

[edit] Windows 2000

Yes that suggestion on my talk is sound. Ultra! 18:05, 25 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Taskbar

What happenned to Taskbar now? I stopped following that ridiculuous debate long back. Can you get me up to speed on the current status? --soum talk 08:03, 28 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Windows Home

This is my preferred way of contacting. I think I threw it out, and the reason for even being on that wikipedia page was because I was just wondering what it was. If I still have it did you want to buy it or something?--WhereAmI (talk) 21:33, 2 June 2008 (UTC)

Sure I would have bought it. - xpclient Talk 03:42, 3 June 2008 (UTC)
If I still have it I will contact you. I will not be at the area that I left it at until late Saturday.--WhereAmI (talk) 01:03, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
Thanks a lot. Btw, any of the vintage stuff will do. Btw, why is ur "Email this user" not enabled? :-) - xpclient Talk 07:52, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Microsoft Home article

Sorry, I only got som old catalogues (paper) - not any MS Home CD-ROMs! Regards, Necessary Evil (talk) 16:32, 5 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Windows Defender

Sorry I don't get a chance to try it, since I don't have access to Windows 2000 in a VM or real machine at present. But since the official resolution attempts to solve exactly the same problem (i.e. GDI+) as in that unofficial workaround, plus it was published by Microsoft themselves who had confirmed this is a problem in their products, I'd assume it will work.--Wengier (talk) 17:13, 12 June 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Re: Hotmail deletion

Sorry for not including a proper summary with my edit - however I'm not a vandal or someone testing out Wikipedia. That sentence read like someone was just complaining about a bug they'd encountered with Hotmail; as it was unsourced and completely unessential to the article I figured my removal wouldn't be problematic.
