Same issues: re-registers each time you switch versions, and be sure NOT to run different versions at the same time. Also, decompile, compact, and compile a database if you opened it in a different version. Thanks Allen. I've now installed A2010 alongside A2002, A2003 and A2007 and the all seem to be living together happily. Off topic, but since I installed a solid state hard drive the "reinstall" when changing from 2003 to 2010 takes 13 seconds and 4 seconds when changing from 2010 to 2003. Best hardware purchase I've made in a very long time. :-) |
are not buying them. I think the price point is still high enough to
scare people away, but in my experienced, it's only people who've
never used a machine with one who are scared by the price/GB
premium. Newegg has one on sale nearly every week. The laptop I use
as my main machine is only 70GBs with 24GBs free, so if I bought the
$170 60GB drive, I could still use it. The 120GB is $334. I'm
contemplating a netbook in the next few months, and will probably
spring for an SSD hard drive replacement to make a screaming little
machine that will plug into a monitor, mouse and keyboard at home,
and be this tiny little thing when on the road. There's now a
dual-core Atom chip and if I can get 64-bit Windows, I'm golden for
a really nice ultra-portable that will completely function as a home
desktop.
If you haven't tried an SSD-equipped computer, I recommend that you
do. I've been having all my clients order their laptops with them,
and they are all ecstatic, and then hate their destkops with
old-fashioned hard drives!

I'm a huge, huge fan, and I have it running on a 7-year-old Thinkpad and it's faster than the machine was when it was running WinXP. +1. IMHO Windows 7 is by far the best OS we've seen for a very long time. I'd almost forgotten about the VM capabilities. I tried it in an early beta and it was a bit buggy but it obviously works well now. I think I need to have another look at it. |
the OS (assuming you have Pro, and nobody should have anything less
than Win7 Pro).
This is my favorite Windows version since 2000, and already
surpasses it in my mind in terms of being such a huge win for
everybody in terms of both ease of use and performance.

Interesting info, Wayne. I've been considering a Vostro 3700 as my next laptop, possibly with an SSD. |
happy with it. Build quality is good for a very reasonable price and
with the SSD installed, it flies. Only problem is now it's faster
than my Core 2 Duo desktop so the upgrade bug will start to bite once
again.
