What happened to (file) "Search"?

[ToddAndMargo]

Hi All,

I have WS08 Terminal Services (TS) session open on my TS
as I write this. Not to ask too stupid a question, but
where is my file search utility?

I have tried running Windows Explorer (not IE) under
Administrator and still nothing. Tried right clicking
on folders in both the left and right pane. Am I going
blind?

Many thanks,
-T

Vista was not Microsoft finest hour. I have heard W7 is much
better, but it is still a lot slower than XP and still
as incompatible with XP programs as was Vista. Oh well ...

Ah, not so fast. Hearsay.

Windows 7 offers a virtual Windows XP Mode you can download and run. I
already have one customer using it happily on a test machine.

Hi Ace,

I use a lot of virtual machines myself. W7 running XP
in a VM begs the issue. If everything you have runs much
faster in native XP and only some of your things run
in W7, just install XP. Why have two, when one will do
everything.

I have to chuckle at Apple users who loudly proclaim
they are Windows fee when they are running all their Apps in
an XP VM. They even had to pay Microsoft for a license to XP.
Why don't you just run XP. Same point as W7 with a virtual XP.

It would be different if W7 or Apple ran something that
XP did not. And there are cases of that on the Apple side.
Not so much XP vs W7.

And, all marketing hype aside, XP and W7 both have Internet
Explorer and Active X installed, so both are equally security
nightmares. So natively run what works the best.

-T

My VM's:

Host: CentOS (Red Hat Enterprise Linux clone)

Guests: Bart PE, XP 1CPU, XP 2CPU, Vista, W7RC, and formerly Kubunto,
which I removed as KDE4.x is an unstable nightmare.

Exception: you can not get XP drivers. Do not attempt XP on an
HP computer with an nVidia chipset. What a nightmare!

I hear what you are saying, but I wouldn't go as far as saying it's
marketing hype. XPM offers backward compatibility moving foward. I mean you
can continue to drive that rusted out 1992 Chevy, or keep up with current
technology!

With that one customer I mentioned, it was a driver issue. I could not get
the SATA drivers for an XPS M153 from Dell to install XP. They were no
longer offered on their site, and Dell wanted to charge me for the XP SATA
driver. Long story short, which I won't get into, but I refused to pay. So I
installed W7 as a test, as well as XPM, and found it works fine. The dev's
apps, Visual Studio, SQL, etc, run fine. I was surprised.

And thanks for the heads up on the HPs. I am partial to Dell products, so no
worries there.

You can also use the "Troubleshoot Compatibility" function to run
programs that aren't supported under native W7. I've successfully
installed several programs that way. My HP AOL C4180 software is an
example along with an older version of iTunes....

And when the rust bucket is twice as fast as its replacement,
the current technology won't work on half the roads, the
the current technology's wheels keep falling off, and
the current technology keeping requiring the old rust
bucket to tow (XPM) it where you need to go ...

Cool. Sounds like you kicked it. Frustrating in the beginning fun
in the end.

I've actually used that with one customer's Vista desktop. She's the CFO of
the company, and when they acquired a company that was using an older
software punch card system, it wouldn't run on Vista. The vendor suggested
to upgrade to the next release for $3500. I kindly thanked him (almost ready
to say for his technical insight), and ended the call. I went into the exe's
properties and simply set it to XP compatibility, and the thing ran fine. I
smiled and walked away. Saved them a few bucks.
