On Wednesday 15 March 2006 08:01 am, Mike had this to say in
microsoft.public.windowsxp.general:
Thank you Shenan. I do just about all those things. I am not a home
user. I am not a novice user--having started with DOS--but I am obviously
a novice maintance person since our 10 person network had no problems
until we went Server 2003 and XP workstations. MSFT assumes that if you
own a business you
should employ a tech person to keep their stuff running. I have had no
problem with Server it just the workstations. I liked my network a lot
more
when the workstations were 98 and the server was sco unix. I didn't have
to
learn anything about keeping that network up. It never went down.
My productivity went down a lot with XP. Seems like every week I have to
change something or something isn't working. Last week it was active x
boxes
not appearing on the office update page. Followed all the MSFT
suggestions to no avail. Posted on the IE site and some said you have
change this particular MSFT firewall settting. Why waste a half a day
trying to get something simple as that to work and why didn't MSFT have
that solution as part of their recommended solutions?? I am scared to
death to try to do any thing else on my computer like adding remote media
or something fancy like
that. The more I add the more the computer fails.
The good thing is we use terminal services and remote desktop for our
workstations to access the server and none of these problems end up on the
server.
I have a Mac at home that doesn't crash even when it runs Office :). At
the office, I use Access a lot with my remote salespeople and my website
is in
frontpage. I think we are going to filemaker and dreamweaver and then
change out the workstations to macs with remote desktop as we replace them
(the first being mine!).
Do yourself and your company a big favour and shift over to Linux. As a
server, it is free, stable and secure. On workstations, well, it makes
Windoze XP look like a toy operating system. You have already told us the
stability you had with SCO Unix. Well you can get all that again using
Linux and it won't cost you a penny and once you get it set up and working,
it will just continue to work, problem free.

registry cleaners, and perhaps a ram washer."
