First lets look at why Microsoft introduced this feature into IE8, and in the words of Microsoft.
"In a nutshell, Compatibility View allows content designed for older web browsers to still work well in Internet Explorer 8"
However this is not the case at all.
As most people will be aware by now Microsoft has started a new campaign that seems to be having mixed feelings through the community, but the question is that are Microsoft looking at converting Mac users over or trying to keep their existing users?

Well it seems that everyone is blogging how Adobe is giving away a free Flex 3 license to unemployed developers, and I am not going to jump on that same bandwagon.

One of the things that is sometimes hard when dealing with support, is trying to understand what the user does to create an error or problem. The hardest part for us trying to deal with these customers is always the same, trying to understand what they mean when they actually are not sure what they are trying to describe.
So that brings us to this little gem.
This maybe old news for most, but as I really only saw it on the news today I thought I would write a quick blog about it anyway.

Over the weekend I had done a fair amount of ripping my music onto the Hard Drive, to later use on my iPod. I later came across some I had done a few years ago, and tried to copy it over to my portable drive. This posed a problem for me when I did that, because the information needed to tell the software I use to catalogue the music which needed the information filled in, which was missing for some reason.
No big deal I thought, so I went and proceeded to enter the Album and Artist information Manually.
This is where I ran into serious trouble!

Well it seems I am on a role today with Microsoft, and after playing with Windows 7 for sometime now. I decided to migrate some settings from Vista, over to Windows 7 so that I could begin to use it more efficently.But I discovered a flaw that made me laugh. In my previous post on the subject title, I discovered that even the most simplest of things don't get tested when streaming albums over to the Xbox 360.
Now I discovered a Windows easy transfer problem, that just makes that last statement even more so.

The answer will always be yes, provided that the HD has not been erased with security in mind.Well a few weeks ago, I was given a laptop to use and I do not know what I did. But it refused to boot anymore, and restoring from original CD was not an option.
It appears that Windows Vista, locked the Hard drive from further use.
So what did I do!

After many months, well a year to be precise. I decided to switch UAC off so that I could install apache and php5 on my Vista 64bit.Today being one of those days when I had some time to kill, I decided to watch a movie that was store on my external USB drive.
Now the fun has begun.

I had the unfortunate reality of taking my computer in to get repaired, due to the fact that the CPU was overheating way to much.The short of it was that the tech guy, when pulling the heatsink of to replace pulled the CPU out with it and broke a pin on the CPU.
