Well,
This week I'm doing (as the talking heads say)...the "deep dive" into Vista and WCF. Oh what fun!
The only really thing about all of this is the fact that most of it is Beta...hey you get what you get with betaware! So, why I'm I doing this? It's a project for work...I get to go head to head with the JEE folks and proof the .Net technology. Ok...a moment of laughing here... Maybe someone will actually starting using my .Net stuff. At least it won't cost $1000's per CPU to run an app server...
I'll keep the chronicle posted...
Meanwhile.... I have two 64-bit systems up. One has LongHorn 64-bit and one has Vista 64-bit...so far the bigest issues:
Hard to find driver for the on-board sound card. Really annoying, but I found a workaround. Use the non-Vista 64x drivers for XP. The control program doesn't work but the system makes noise.
Vista out of the box puts you into a non-Admin login...yeap! I can understand why MS wants you to do that...but for use power users...it could be easier to install and give a choice. Oh well....
Can't change the login picture on the Vista system...looks like that code is not implemented... you click on the place to change the picture...and you get sent into a circle that takes you back to manage users...???? Ok, so there's still some tweating needed...
Loading and running the .Net 3.0 framework/SDk/ etc is confusing. The problem here is that MS is in the middle of releasing and making changes to what you can deploy where... It can only get better? Or at least a bit more confusing....
Anyway...that's the shortlist for now....
