FYI:
A "lot" of us have a great deal of trouble with this topic, & after
spending HOURS digging through MSFTs knowledge base, I can
understand why sombody would place their question in the wrong
"cubby hole" at MSFT, msft "should" be greatful that "we" trust
it/them enough to try and get a question answered, not take
attitude about it. MSFT could do alot better with all the
resources they have at their command. I for one have never
understood why they make solving problems such a problem! When
MSFT WANTS to do something, its amazing how quickly they can
"automatically" address everyones machine ["Bing!" is but the
latest example, I'd list the rest but it would just make me look
like I was part of the "black helicopter crowd"] Somehow msft can
determine if a machine is underpowered to handle a particular app,
[silverlight like Live! before it seems to be an exception, with no
explanations forthcomming] now, is this "proprietary" or part of
the "windows" secret sauce? Or are some of these software
companies just being errr.. "Preoccupied"? [diplomacy was never my
strong suit] I suspect alot of us would understand if its the
secret sauce stuff, & we're all "big boys" here [sorry girls no
sexism intended]. just tell us! OR make the rollback system easy
to remember/use when these apps make the machines go ga-ga! Over
the versions of Windows, since 95 anyway, there always seems to be
an app maker thats doing somthing msft either didn't think of or
isnt addressing memory the way msft wants or something [if we were
a couple decades younger, some of us would learn the programing,
but that seems to be more art than science] Just some random
thoughts, as I too was looking to see if the latest "adobe" thing
would work on my machine when I came across this thread [care to
blame goog too?]
