Sun Abandons Java Standardhttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/jscript/sun-abandons-java-standard#commentsAnchorThu, 22 Feb 2007 19:03:22 GMT
I’m fine with Sun walking away, but since Sun isn’t recognized as a "standards body" then can we quit calling things related to Java "standards"? It’s a proprietary language spec for all practical purposes (a la Visual Basic) rather than an open spec (a la C#).]]>

Well, since no one else pointed this out, if you search the MS KB, you’ll find a detailed article about how to edit the registry and allow .mdb or .exe files to be saved or opened from Outlook. I believe the information is here: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;829982 Look Todd, it’s me!]]>

140GB CD-ROM to Debut Next Year?http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/news2/140gb-cd-rom-to-debut-next-year-#commentsAnchorWed, 05 May 2004 10:55:52 GMT
Whatever happened to this company and it’s promises to deliver large capacity disks? I have lightly researched other articles and the C3D.org website and find that there is a filesystem that is definitely different to what is in standard use so far. Problems? Funding? Maybe it’s just the old problem with companies having to deal with yet another storage format, or perhaps the economy has forced the project to take a back seat. I’m sure any, or all, of these reasons can be to blame for this product never making it to the marketplace. Sadly, I must resign myself to continue buying 7GB DVDs for storage at $23 each. I would like to have seen what this new medium would do for the multimedia and recording industry. Imagine the number of quality movies that could be recorded on a 1TB Disk. Shame that this design is on hold...hopefully it will resurface soon.]]>

I am trying to network 3 computers at home. They are connected through a Netgear router which is in turn connected to a cable modem. All have internet access.One is running W2K with NTFS, another is W2K with FAT and the other has WIN98 with FAT32.The 2 with W2K can at least see the other 2, but can’t access files. The Win98 machine will not keep the configuration for sharing files and folders and for sharing printers. As soon as I click OK after selecting File and Print Sharing it asks for the "Disk Labeled Windows 98 second edition". After I do that and reboot I check for the File and Print Sharing and it’s been deselected. I’m at a loss. The other two at least show the computers in "Computers Near Me", but when I click on the computer icons it says it’s not accessible and that the "Network Path was not found". Any ideas? Thanks, ]]>

Limit 10 PC’s in a peer to peer network??????? I currently have 40 PC’s networked peer to peer without any problems. This limit is bogus and should be further explained. The limit placed by MS is accessing 1 computer from more than 10 computers, at the same time. That is what it means. Of course, I guess not many homes have more than 10 computers on at the same time anyway, except for Bill.]]>

I have just set-up a W2K 100Mb Ethernet network. 3 PCs are connected to a hub in a star topology. I have assigned each PC an IP address and they can successfully communicate. The problem I am having is response times, e.g. when I try to browse the C:\Drive of PC 1 from PC 2, it takes a couple of seconds to open each directory level. This happens regardless of which PC you are browsing across the network. Any suggestions? Many Thanks. ]]>

What a great article. Have you ever tried to find information thru Windows help or at Microsoft? Forget about it. I didn’t even get any hits when searching for "Home Network" or "Share internet connection". I am a new user to W2K Pro, a switch over from NT so I am not used to some of the new features and interface. I followed the article and had my 98 box and W2K box talking and sharing my printer, folders and DSL line in about 20 minutes. This is exactly the information I was looking for.

I networked a 2 computer using HPNA and one PC is running Win98 SE and the other is Windows 2000 Pro. Everything worked fine and the two computer is shown in the my network area. However, when I try to access the Windows 2000 computer via the Win 98 computer, it prompts me to enter a password before I can acess the Win 2K computer’s file. I did turn on unrestricted sharing in the Win 2k computer and it still ask me for a passwork. I do not know why! I can access the Windows 98 computer via the Win 2k computer. One more problem is that it takes a long time, about a minute or so to open the "Computers Near Me" and access the Windows 98 computer in the "My Network Places" icon. Is this normal or there is a fix? Can anybody please help me. Thanks You very much for your help!]]>

If you have just two PC’s with network cards installed, then a simple RJ45 network crossover cable will work. A local computer shop can fix one up for you. Alternatively using BNC connectors if you have older style network cards, terminated on both ends. The info is good for new users.]]>

Outlook Patched After Recent Viruseshttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/antivirus/outlook-patched-after-recent-viruses#commentsAnchorMon, 19 Jun 2000 12:53:28 GMT
I find myself quite upset after applying the Outlook security patch - inadvertently, I might add. As a routine part of my job, I frequently send and receive Access (.mdb) files and self-extracting zip files. Now I flat out can’t receive them. I’m not an idiot and am perfectly capable of determining on my own whether or not I wish to receive these files, but Microsoft has removed any and all option. Not only that, but they’ve seen fit to make this patch non-removable. I’ve gone as far as to re-install Office, but the darn thing’s still with me. I just recently reformatted my hard drive and I don’t feel compelled to go through that again. I, as our company’s primary Microsoft proponent, have been strongly pushing our upper management to switch our corporate email client from Eudora to Outlook, but after this patch I think I may be me that switches from Outlook to Eudora.]]>

Microsoft should include with Exchange Server the functionality to filter out certain file types at the Internet Mail Connector. This could be strengthened further by delivering the message to an alternate mailbox and sending a message to the intended recipient stating that an e-mail was sent to you that contains a file that is a possible security threat to the company network. Please see your administrator for further information. By diverting that message to another mailbox, the company could create a policy that would force the administrator to virus check the mailbox, and also access it from a PC that has no network rights and the PC is a worthless computer so that no data could be damaged. Furthermore whatever user id logs on to that mailbox where the possible virus is stored, that users permission should only have the ability read messages and not send messages so that the virus could not be spread through e-mail. I am sure Microsoft is doing something like this internally because I called them and their tech support said they were, but I had to call their per incident support and pay $250 to find out how.]]>

"The original suggestion for this patch came, not from a techie, but from US Congressman Anthony Weiner of New York in a US Senate Subcommittee hearing in the wake of Loveletter." In fact, many "techies" made the suggestion of object model protection for Outlook long before any congressional hearings. I don’t see why Cong. Weiner should be credited. Furthermore, the object model guard feature affects not just address book access but also any functions that send messages automatically. This means the update breaks many significant built-in features such as Net Folders and mail merge to e-mail via Microsoft Word. Your article lists companies whose products will be affected. This is not quite accurate. It would be better to say that these companies’ products "may" be affected. My company, like the others listed, will not be able to say exactly what will be affected until Microsoft releases the final version of this update.]]>

1) "Microsoft now plans to include the ability to modify the list of restricted files." This ability will be there, but only as an administrative tool. Individual Windows NT and Windows 2000 users will not be able to remove file types from the list of restricted files. 2) "Many users send Visual Basic (VB) scripts, executables, batch files, and hyperlinks as part of their daily traffic." Hyperlinks, yes. Executables, maybe. Scripts and batch files as part of the daily traffic of many users, hardly. 3) "An IDC analyst pointed out that the patch would have killed many basic functions of Microsoft Internet Explorer, including JavaScript and VB script execution, and ActiveX calls." Simply not true. The Outlook patch was never designed to have any effect whatsoever on any functionality of Internet Explorer itself. 4) The author (along with many other writers, to be fair) completely misses the most important feature of the revised patch. From the Microsoft Office Update page at http://officeupdate.microsoft.com/2000/articles/Out2ksecOrg.htm "Organizations using server-based security can customize certain components of the update to meet their specific security needs. For example, administrators can add or remove file types from the attachment lists (the Level 1 and Level 2 security file lists), the Outlook Object Model warning notifications, and the user or group security levels for all components of this update." Being able to modify the restricted file type list is trivial compared with being able to alter the behavior of the Object Model Guard. In the patch as originally announced, the object model restrictions would have guaranteed that a large percentage of third-party and in-house Outlook applications would either stop working completely or have their functionality severely impaired. The changes announced mean that administrators can decide whether to allow unrestricted access to certain automation functions that their Outlook-dependent applications require. In other words, those applications won’t be crippled by the patch if administrators decide to allow access to certain object model features.]]>

Being in the military and running a NT LAN that contains two Exchange Servers 5.5, this article was helpful. I always look forward to reading and keeping up with Exchange Server articles and FAQ’s. I did hear several people in the Military’s Information Systems Department discussing this patch. However, the appeared to rely on the first type of information released is the best and most reliable for their Military sites, without doing extensive research that requires planning and testing before the deployment. This particular article allows myself to discuss the information with my superiors and will allow them to provide adequate answers to their superiors. Thanks for the article and look forward to hear about the June release of this patch. ]]>

I’d agree with comments related to installation of this fix. It also seems to be very radical. Maybe allowing users to select which options to enable/disable would be a more natural approach. On the other side, most users know very little about computers and Outlook itself and would find these options too much. They just want their "thing" to work. I think the answer lies more in educating and instructing users on what and how to do things. Microsoft has gone a long way to create such a powerfull tool. A lot of things users freaquently do seem to happen so easily in Outlook. Why take that away? Teach them what viruses do and how to defend themselves from it. That’s much better fix than any. In my opinion, Outlook is target of malicious attacks these days only because it’s so user friendly and so popular. Other applications of this sort should actually be worried that "geniousis" didn’t make virus version for their applications as well. Thank you.]]>

I haven’t had my Win 2K on my hard - drive for 3 days and now I hear the Win 2K/64 is coming out. Wonder what the upgrade will cost for this? I’m not complaining - quite happy in fact to spend $300 after running RC1 in november and deciding there and then my plan would be to upgrade to Win 2K and be committed. I’m so committed in fact I’ve done without my $2000 Epson Scanner (1995) due to a lack of Win 2K device drivers and am hoping/waiting for Epson to get back to me within 6 months or less so I can hook it up to my SCSI card and have it work. Win 2K even recognizes the processor inside the scanner but lacks the driver to run it. I’m hooked!! (Using Dell P2-266/ 440 LX Intel motherboard and 128 MB Ram - only has APM support not the new ACPI).]]>

Okay, here’s my two cents worth... 1) Referring to ASP’s as a "revolution" was funny, even for normal marketing fluff.

We’re going to run them over an Internet connection... which is most commonly a T1? As if. 3) Microsoft is well-known for its... "creative" ways of profiling its largely captive audience. It’ll be a cold day in hot places before I deliver that level of customer control to Microsoft on the silver platter they’re seeking with this move. Since you asked. :-)]]>

Am I the only one that finds it just a bit interesting that Novell’s former CEO is the one filing this suit? As stated in the article, he purchased DR-DOS (i.e. Novell sold it to him) specifically so he could pursue the suit. While there is nothing wrong with that, doesn’t it seem odd that the top executive for one of Microsoft’s leading competitors would leave the company and then decide to acquire one of it’s products solely to take Microsoft to court? It sounds to me more like Novell didn’t want to endure possible negative publicity and still get a dig in on Microsoft. So, given this perspective isn’t overly paranoid, who wins and who loses if ruling is in favor of Canopy Group? Well, obviously Canopy Group would have a good positive number on their books for next year and Ray Noorda would be playing a few extra rounds of golf or buying that new summer house he always wanted. The losers, on the other hand, we would get to absorb the 1.8 billion in Microsoft’s potential losses via higher licensing fees; slower response or through whatever means Microsoft decided to recoup its losses. Oh and just as a side note, I was one of those people back in the early 90’s (92 that is) that switched from DR-DOS 6 to MS-DOS 5 not because of any Windows 3.1 issues or even issues with other Microsoft products. I switched because of all the other software vendors that must have been writting code that made their programs crash if it detected DR-DOS also. It’s funny because I remember at the time thinking how great it was that all my software just seemed to work after installing MS-DOS when the whole time I used DR-DOS applications kept dying or would always seem to have some weird problem. Fact is that I believe DR-DOS had some problems as it was. If Microsoft took advantage of those problemss in an incorrect way then shame on them. But, looking back, I wouldn’t have continued using DR-DOS anyway because most software companies wouldn’t or didn’t know how to support it well.]]>

The worm will also work under Windows 95 only if the Windows Scripting Host is installed.

Dispatches from the Open-Source Fronthttp://www.windowsitpro.com/article/news2/dispatches-from-the-open-source-front#commentsAnchorThu, 28 Oct 1999 12:51:37 GMT
Thanks for the excellent article on open source software. I just had one little inaccuracy to point out. Although the Mozilla project has had some delays (namely because they scrapped the old codebase which was deemed unworkable and rewrote it from the ground up), it’s not suffering from bloated code at all. Current download footprint for the entire win32 browser (including code and data) is 788k compressed. That’s including browser, mail, news, and other stuff as well. You should try a recent milestone release or nightly build. It’s stabilizing rapidly and more and more people are using it. The reason more people didn’t flock to the project early on was because the code Netscape released wasn’t usable. As Mozilla reaches feature complete and stablizes, more people will use it as their primary browser, which will result in more bugs found and fixed. It’s kind of a snowball effect. When you release a _huge_ open source package that’s badly broken and won’t run at all, only a few hardcore people will work on it, but as it becomes more usable, more and more people will use it, accellerating the rate of bugs found and fixed.]]>

Your article states that there are rumors that Apple is releasing part of their OS as open source, but this was done some time ago: http://www.publicsource.apple.com/ This is MacOS X, however, and not MacOS 8 or 9. They are very different things, and I don’t think there are any plans to release the source for older MacOS versions. You also mentioned Windows CE - even if Microsoft doesn’t release it as open source, there are already efforts underway to bring Linux to CE devices. They have successfully booted the OS on SH3 and MIPS devices, and even run some user-space programs: http://www.linuxce.org/]]>

Regarding the Mozzila project: You really should take a closer look at the web site, and see "why" there is a delay. The delay is not in dealing with bloated source per se, but instead dumping the bloated source in favor of starting from scratch. Some of the major articles on that site explain this in much greater detail. The final product which Mozzila.org will produce is something that the consumer has not seem before. It will be more like the familiar Russel Stover’s Candies, in that a lot of the little buggers look the same, but there are a few that are really terrific on the inside. Similarly, Mozzila will have many of the features that the previous incarnation has (a la netscape), but the inside is a lot better than before. One of the major things which its boasts is a new layout engine called Raptor, and from direct personal experience with the milestone 10 release of Mozilla, there is a significant and noticable speed difference between netscape and mozzila (the latter I thought was at least 2X faster than the former). So please look at the site, and if possible make a correction to your article!]]>

Mozilla started off slow and bloated because it was based on released Netscape sources (the product of closed development), not because it is open source. Since then, it’s been through a ground-up rewrite, and is much less bloated. However, the mnemonic browser project, which has been open source from day one, is cleaner and clearer.]]>

Mr. Pohlman doesn’t discuss the cost of this migration from Unix to Win2K. He also doesn’t give specifics of why Win2K is suddenly so popular in the Energy Industry. There is actually nothing in the article other than the Energy industry is behaving like Lemmings and blindly following someone to the cliff. I have seen one survey where the cost of upgrading to Win2K was between 1-3K per workstation. This is at the high end, but I would expect when the costs are tabulated (software+install+training+time) the costs are going to be higher than anticipated.

One thing to clarify about the W2K MCSE track: If you’ve passed an elective as part of the NT 4.0 track, that same elective will count towards your W2K MCSE. There was some confusion about this at first but it has been confirmed by Microsoft. Therefore if you’re a current NT 4.0 MCSE (or have simply passed the three NT 4.0 exams) you will only need two exams to update your certification. Electives that retire (e.g. IIS 3.0 on June 30, 2000) will need to be updated of course. Michael DeBussy, MCSETutor.com]]>

The true is there are still plenty of NT 3.5 or even people use just 95/98 everybody hate MS just because their policy. Who know when 2000 will be enterprise ready. I get started to hate them, too. I would like to the end of Microsoft as company and it’s monopol in this industry and to see end of this silly certificate, as well.]]>

Is Neptune a Sea of Change for Windows?http://www.windowsitpro.com/article/desktop-management/is-neptune-a-sea-of-change-for-windows-#commentsAnchorWed, 11 Aug 1999 10:12:51 GMT
I hope Neptune is the true 32-bit code we’ve been hoping for, but with Microsoft’s track record of late, I have my doubts. I know of very few games which run under NT, due to what I understand is the complexity of coding with the NT API’s in order to effectively run today’s highly graphic oriented games. My thinking is that with the Linux push (and I run Linux as well as NT) that is occuring, Linux may well become the new gamer OS. If that is indeed the case, then Microsoft will be hard pressed to intice the gaming industry to code for Neptune. Gaming is truly what drives the home PC market; look at the types of systems being purchased for home versus what is running in the office. My home systems far and away run rings around my office systems, simply because my home pc’s are tweaked for games. Just my 2 cents]]>

I am glad to see reporting of the "other runners" in this chip race. AMD’s presence has kept the competition pressure on Intel, and the winner is the consumer. AMD has bled a lot in this process. Let us pray that they can stay the course.]]>
