Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications

Posted June 29th, 2007 by din100 and filed in nerdy stuff

Finally got it to working on my Vista, shame it doesn’t come with Bash shell, I need to get that working as I’m more use to that than vista’s default C shell and Korn shell but with Bash you will have best of both worlds. I installed the SDK as well, Now I need to put this to a good use, will give the*nix network tools a try.

No family discount for vista ultimate :(

Well I bought the retail version Vista ultimate thinking I can get home premium for $50 (up to 2 pcs), apparently  that’s only for US and Canada for UKers, we still need to pay £139 to get the same software they get for £25, I’m gone get some one in Canada to get  it ordered. Stupid M$ then they cry as people pirate their software etc

Most sellers are ripping people off,  all the new so call bargain stuff they sell in ebay can be bought else where for £10 to £15 cheaper. then this postage scam where you have to pay £25 to get a CD. I dont think It’s worth the risk for 2nd hand stuff ebay is the place :D

Well I had an old usb stick so thought to give the ReadyBoost a chance, put it in and set all the setting etc and restarted the computer, It didn’t make my system faster but made my Itunes works with out any crash, don’t ask me how. I don’t even know how that’s linked may be itunes is having trouble accessing prefetched data from the hard drive. Well it works so gone buy another super fast usb disk and use it

here is the video about ReadyBoost

a06wa1.jpgI love my vista business so much I went and bought the ULTIMATE retail copy :D , I know I waste money like crazy, It’s actually come in a nice case and both CD inc luded (64bit and 32bit). still need activation but allow to change computers, so not a bad deal
