DRM - Win-7 Beta - License migration? (third post attempt, first two posts by me, appears to have not posted yet)
2:20 PM 2/5/2009
Hello Beta Team!
I know DRM could be a sensitive and debatable issue.
Seems after my purchase of movies from on-line services, they are not viewable with Win-7 Beta. Appears the DRM management has changed under Win-7, (I am not sure about any changes, unable to locate a solution to this sizeable to me, concern, so far). The DRM management under XP-OS SEEMS to me, to be handled differently.
Searching for a way to utilize my DRM info., when upgrading from one OS to a later edition Win OS. My change currently, is from XP to Win-7, [(with Win-XP to be removed from machine completly as possible, (with no dual OS use). An exclusive original DRM use, within Win-7 OS, (after Win-7 is released for retail purchase))]......the migration/upgrade from XP to Win-7 was not presented to me as an option during this beta trial....so I am now potientially faced with a sizeable loss of purchased movie use, on this SAME machine, while operating under the Win-7 OS, [(if my paid for XP-DRM license / info., now is not usable (yet), under Win-7 OS)].
This post is intended to be for future consideration; "a wish-list item"; for future consideration of DRM migration during an upgrade from previous MS-OS's, due to the potential loss of movie viewing use.
Thanks for your time and any consideration of future DRM license consideration in the future.....I do understand that this is a sensitive subject with licensing.......just do not feel an upgrade OS should affect one's purchased Digital Rights Management / licenses.
Bye for now, Thanks again, Jim.
Win7 64-bit issues (several)
A couple of things with Win7 64-bit .
Adding windows features: for every component that you remove your computer will reboot... remove 3 features at the same time and the computer will reboot 3 times.
After the features are removed the icons are still visible in the control panel after a reboot (or a couple of reboots)
Every installation of a game/programm causes the mainscreen to turn black for a couple of seconds (computer responds to nothing in the meanwhile?) and only after that a popupbox will pop up if you want to install it.
IE8 that comes with it (the 64-bit version) caused my system to hang several times.
Messenger8 is not a taskbaricon anymore but its showed like a normal program on the taskbar even after minimizing it.
not able to select the "run box" in the starts menu instead of the "life search box" that is there now.
The soundblaster drivers that came with the windows update program cause my microphone to stop functioning properly.
It only work with the window drivers.
I think thats the most for now.. ill come back when ill find more stuff
**edit**
During the installation i was not automaticly promped to format my HDD even tho i had a WinXP installation on it. I had to go manually into a seperate menu in the setup to be able to format my HDD.
This format question should be in the primary installation process.

Home Basic ¿Really need that?
I think I am barely agree with the editions they will release, but at least they should fusionate the Started edition with the Home Basic edition, or the Home Basic with the Home Premium, becouse is very confussing, there's one over.
And why the started edition has such limitations, I thought the emblem was "Windows vs Walls"
Please keep listen at us and remove the Home Basic edition, I really understand the others editions and the decision of just focus on two of them is very clever, but Home Basic is just dumb and this make Home Premium more confussing (instead just Home).
I mean, two editions with extremely limitations... bad idea
Reply:
Home Basic/Starter Edition is for emergering markets with low-end PCs and thus will not be sold at retail or offered when you by a Dell etc, so you will not see it.
Enterprise/Ultimate are the same thing, the only difference is Enterprise will be through Volume Licensing.
XP has 3 SKUs available at retail, Vista had 4, Windows 7 has 2.

Hi,
Before moving on troubleshooting, could you please take the following steps?
1. When the computer works fine, change the theme to a non-Aero theme, such as Windows 7 basic or Windows Classic.
2. Restart the computer to test the issue.
Does the issue re-occur?
Thank you for your cooperation.

Please make the Start menu resizable
Although I do NOT want a return to the classic Start menu, I would very much like to be able to resize the W7 Start menu, simply to reduce the amount of scrolling required in the All Programs section.
Vertical resizing would be wonderful and much appreciated. Horizontal resizing would be handy to reduce horizontal scrolling in deeply nested folders.
I suggest resizing would be done by dragging the upper and lower borders, much like any other window, and that the size and position would then be remembered.
I know that the Start menu CAN resize, because it does so automatically if enough programs are "pinned" in the upper left section. My suggestion is simply to put this under user control.
Reply:
------------------------------------
Reply:
If you customize the start menu and increase the "number of recent programs to display", the start menu resizes accordingly.
Actually, I really hate having recent programs displayed, and always set it to zero.
But yes, that would be another way of forcing the Start menu to be bigger. Personally I just want to resize it myself.

Internet Explorer Jump List ignores Internet Options History setting
Is there any way to make the Jump List for the Internet Explorer icon to NOT populate? I'm curious because there doesn't seem to be any way to disable this feature. I've set my Internet Explorer history setting to zero days, yet the jump list still fills with historical pages...
I know many very paranoid people that will not like this one bit...

Anyway... Interesting suggestion, but I'm still looking for a solution to the Jump List. Even that wouldn't prevent the list from populating while still logged in. It may remove the entries at logoff, but they still appear...
Thanks for the tip, though... I may have to look deeper into this for my corporate users when Windows 7 comes out, or look into the current options that article mentioned that are already available for XP.

Hi,
Which browser did you use when downloading? To download Windows 7 beta installation file we must use IE. Before downloading, Download Manager will be installed as an ActiveX and this will be the download tool.
If you use third party browser, please launch IE to download.

[?] - Calculating time remaining...
Ok, so count me dumb, but why does file transfers still take longer even when the time remaining shows nothing?
Example:
I copy a 800MB file to an external drive, and it seems to not count the time to delete that large file, in the time left or status.
Consider this a question, feedback, bug report, all in one. :)
When you are moving a large file, please keep the status going until you have completed the transfer. Do the following:
1. Cut/Paste 1GB file from C: to D:
2. Show the window that copies the file, and after the data was copied to the other location, please indicate that the file was moved, and it is now deleting the file from the origin location.
"Now copying *.ISO (700MB)
Copy complete, now verifying the file, and removing from original location."
Possible?
Thanks,
Andrew.

No, the default behavior cannot be changed for a drag to copy. You could create a XCopy, or RoboCopy command set to do that.
Hi Mark!
Thanks for your reply. However, it did not resolve my complaint, nor was even related. What I am asking, is why isn't the information more detailed when you are moving a file (Say, a GB of data) from one drive to another? For example, you move a 1GB image and you want to move it from your computer's C: to your External HDD. You go ahead and click cut, and then paste in the External HDD. Instead of it just showing moving, I want it to show the whole process:
Show how much longer until it has finished making a copy of the file on my External HDD;
Show how much longer until it has finished verifying that the file was accurately transferred;
And lastly, show how much longer until the original file on C: is deleted;
The reason I want this, is because it never accounts for this when it is saying Time Remaining.... It just sits there as the file is deleted, instead of showing the indicator still moving. I just want some kind of indication that the file is already on the External HDD, and then another indication when the file transfer and removal (of the original) has finished.
Does that make better sense now? It isn't one of the easiest things to describe, ;)...
Andrew,

FIX COPYING / SYNCING: 1) PROMPT ONLY ON CHANGED FILES; 2) track renamings; 3) parent folder mod date registers subfolder mod date changes
Vista made copying files better in some instances,
but SYNCING is as bad or worse -- there are a few changes that would make manual inspection and syncing of directories EXPONENTIALLY easier.
1. WINDOWS 7 NEEDS A "PROMPT ONLY FOR CHANGED FILES" FILE COPY OPTION
1. Let me give you the scenario I just ran into:
I copied an entire disk volume of files.
Vista prompted me that "a file already exists" in 595 cases. NIGHTMARE!
I had ONE choice. Either go individually through ALL 595 files to see which ones Vista would tell me had changed, or "do this for the next 594 files."
Can you please supply the following prompts instead:
"The following file appears not to have changed / Do this for the next X UNCHANGED files."
"The following file is newer / Do this for the next X NEWER files."
"The following file is larger / Do this for the next X LARGER files."
2. ADDITIONALLY, THE FILE COPY SHOULD TRACK RENAMED FILES & FOLDERS.
Use a hash value to compare files.
Prompt to rename existing files, so that duplicates don't proliferate.
Even better would be a hash comparison for the entire SET of files being copied, not just directory by directory -- so that any moves of files from one directory to another can be synced, rather than recreating duplicates.
3. SUBFOLDER CONTENTS CHANGES SHOULD CHANGE THE PARENT FOLDER MODIFIED ON DATE.
This is ANOTHER syncing problem in Vista.
Top-level folder modified dates DO NOT REGISTER changes in the subfolder contents. What's up with that?
It makes manually inspecting changes in directories with very deep folder trees EXPONENTIALLY more tedious than it should be!
Please change this feature -- or at least add it PROMINENTLY as a Folder View Option.
4. FILE NAME CHANGES CHANGE FILE MODIFIED DATE
Maybe this is the problem I'm remembering with subfolders...
Isn't it true that changing a file's name DOESN'T change the File Modified Date?
Shouldn't that be a Folder / View Option? It would be tremendously helpful.
Hope this makes sense to everyone. These are very important functionality issues that need fixing.
Thanks!
a.k.a.
Reply:
2. I can't see people generally use such a function.
3. Why would you have copies of the files in the top level folder in sub folders? Or are you saying that you want to somehow be able to see that a file in the top folder has been changed by looking at the contents of one of the sub folders?
4. That is correct as the file content hasn't been modified the last modified date hasn't been changed.
When suggesting something take this into account:
Will this actually help?
Is there better existing ways to do what I want?
Will this be beneficial to most people?
EDIT
Re 2 It seems that what you want there is to use a backup program.
------------------------------------
Reply:
Dear Jens,
Thanks for the feedback.
Jens, let me spell out the rationale as to why this would be useful to a lot of people. First, I think you may need to consider that most users aren't as obsessive-compulsive as it takes to keep their entire file system tidy and synced. They get behind, develop a backlog -- forget where they filed things and when, and generally get overloaded with the amount of file info they have to contend with. In a sense, you may need to consider that half the work in getting file directories to sync up easily is putting in the time up front to make sure the contents are adequately aligned so that you can sync. That's a manual, very granular battle with file storage. The syncing part is easy.
More specifically, consider this point: When you need to start making archives of your files, you may not have the space immediately available to keep what you need organized all in one place anymore, and actually reconstructing the filing system the way you need it may be a project that takes you more than one "session." In other words, you start disrupting your own filing process in order to free up or conserve space where you can in the interim, until you can get the hardware installed to fix the space constraint. Even then, since it takes a while to finish filing if it's a big directory, you might decide to file a lot of your newest files directly on your backup, rather than on the original directory, and then, as you move on to other things and forget what you've done, file other new files on the original directory, and not on the backup. And then, you're "hosed," as they say. You have to align the contents manually before you can do any copying -- there's no just copying in bulk that will solve your storage / archiving / backup / filing system problem.
That's a real-world user scenario. Now, to the specifics:
I offered the "do this for the next X files" strictly for the sake of parallelism. It's the current alert that Vista uses in file copying. You are correct -- you may well want to do this on a file-by-file basis. On the other hand, in Vista, as it is now, if I have to wade through 595 files just to get to the ~50 I guesstimate have been changed, then I'm stuck. Do you see? I can't accept 595, and I can't manually check 595 either!
The UI should at least break down the "do the same for the next X files" into types:
1. If no file mods have been made, then in all likelihood, the user won't want to copy them. Take the same action for all UNCHANGED files. Then you're not wading through 595, you'll be deciding on the next 50 files.
2. Chances are you won't use the "do the same for the next X files," but you might! If you are an efficient person when you are backing up a directory, you may know that all of your edits have been contributions to a few documents that make them "larger" or "newer." In that case, then you'd want to accept changes for all "larger" or "newer" documents, while rejecting changes for smaller or older documents.
On the folder data, I'm afraid it didn't come across clearly enough. If I have a folder tree that is 3-4 levels deep, then Windows Explorer becomes an unnecessarily inefficient tool at inspecting for files that I might want to make sure I'm updating. Say a file was updated 3-4 levels down in the tree, but I haven't thought about that file for several weeks. When it comes time to manage that directory of files, I want to know what files have been modified, and I won't be able to find it from the top level directory. I'll have to use Windows Explorer -- which has a "tunnel vision" problem in this instance in ONLY being able to show one subdirectory at a time, and rendering all other info completely opaque. I'll have to burrow down into all of my 3rd or 4th level subfolders to make sure I find all of the modifications I've made to files or subdirectories. On a partition that (like my photographs, or my IT resources directory) has 80GB of files, you're talking an exhausting, tedious task, potentially taking an hour or more.
Now look at this: If the top-level folder does register a modification in a subdirectory, then you just follow the "breadcrumb trail" of the "Date modified" indicators from top level folder downwards, and you have no trouble pinpointing quickly what changes were made where. It'll save you potentially an hour of your time -- if you could just tweak an option in the Folder Options settings to have the "Date modified" give you that breadcrumb trail!
Alternately, make it easier to pull up Advanced Search -- not easy. That gives you a "Date is after" option, but that's not as useful.
I have some even simpler file management UI suggestions, but I was concentrating on things that are minor tweaks from Vista. I don't know that I should be laying them out here, since few people are taking notice.
Thanks!

Office 2007 Display Issues
In Windows 2007 you have the ability to drag a mximized window by the title bar to restore it, etc. This feature does not work with Office 2007 applications that utilize the new Ribbon bar. I'm guessing this is because of the way the application creates the ribbon bar, it actually overwrites and hides the real application titlebar.
Has anyone else experienced this? Is this a Windows 7 fix or does there need to be an Office 2007 fix?
Thanks,

Interestingly, the new Paint application, which also uses a ribbon bar, doesn't suffer from this. So it must be something to do with the way Office 2007 implements it, as you say.
My gut says it's probably a Office 2007 problem, and will be fixed in the next release.
May I suggest you use the Send Feedback facility to get this up to Microsoft?
I'll do likewise - maybe if enough of us do it, someone will notice.

Windows 7 (32-bit) + Office 2007 + VS.NET 2008: AIM 6.x crash?
I noticed the other day that my AOL Instant Messenger would no longer start after installing VS.NET 2008, but instead crash and open an AOL crash report. After checking AOL's forums, it appears the order in which these three applications are installed can cause a conflict:
(source: http://messageboards.aol.com/aol/en_us/articles.php?boardId=571317&articleId=128&func=5&channel=Beta)
Steven222:
"I recently made a very interesting discovery.
1. Perform clean install of Win7 build 6.1.7000.1400
2/ Install AIM
3. Install Office 2007. After that install AIM still works fine.
4. Install Visual Studio 2008 Pro edition. AIM stops working.
Thought that was interesting, so I did these steps...SLIGHTLY differently than the ones above.
1. Perform clean install
2. Install AIM
3. Install Visual Studio 2008. AIM still works after the install.
4. Install Office 2007
Does anyone else find this interesting?
By the way, are you guys talking about 32bit Win7 or 64bit Win7?"
Exchange Technet Documentation Error
Just and FYI...
We are looking to allow our Help Desk handle the enabling and disabling of ActiveSync with Exchange 2007. I assumed that the Recipient Administrators role was required. Just to verify my assumption, I went to technet to find the documentation.
In the two documents below it indicates that Exchange Organization Administrators is what is required.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124315.aspx
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa996414.aspx
However since this seemed to be a bit too much authority needed to perform this task, I kept searching. Sure enough I found the following document that indicated that only Recipient Administrators was necessary.
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb124809.aspx
Perhaps someone from Microsoft can fix this discrepancy.
