Windows Home Server my way!







Windows Home Server my way!

Windows Home Server my way! 02/05/2005 10:16 PM

Rick Hallihan has some great ideas over on Blobservations about the dilemma a lot of us are dealing with, because we have multiple computers in the home. He list a whole bunch of features for a proposed Windows Home Server. I would like to narrow them down into one paragraph.

Lets say I have 5 windows computers at home all on the network. By a simple click in the network windows I designate which computers I want synchronized and press go. In that synchronize I want pictures, documents, pst files, download dir and any other data containing directory I designate and of course my desktop settings etc. Of course there should be a schedule option but I would be satisfied with "GO" It should take less than 5 minutes to setup and be so easy my grandmother could do it.

I have my computers organized and I know where my data is. I also have my data synchronized with 2 other machines plus a external hard-drive I rotate every month from my safe deposit box. But hey I am a geek and it's still a plan. I should be able to sit down to any computer on my home network login and have my profile and all of my settings replicated before hand.

Think of all the people you would save from cursing the hardware gods when a hard-drive self destructs by making it easy.. Hey hard-drive space is cheap. I have 3 200 gig drives on the shelf empty because they were on sale for $59.95. I agree with Rick their has to be a better and easier way.

I'd buy a license as I wave my credit card above my head.. [Blobservations]

When a content owner creates an audio or video stream, they can add script commands (such as URL script commands and custom script commands) to be encoded in the stream. When the stream is played back, the script commands can trigger events in an embedded player program, or they can open your browser and then navigate to a Web page. This behavior is by design

for DirectX 9.0b on Windows 2000,
Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003
(KB825116)
11/04/2003 11:37 PM
DirectX 9.0b was released on 7/23/03 to address the MIDI security issue identified in bulletin MS03-030. A small number of non-security fixes were also included in the release. One of these fixes caused several TV Tuner capture card/driver combinations using video formats other than NTSC (NTSC-J, PAL, SECAM) to no longer initialize correctly on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. Symptoms include loss of capture functionality and potential inability to set/retain device capture settings. This hotfix, documented further in Knowledge Base article 825116, has been issued to correct the flaw. 11-04-03 update: The English hotfix package has been modified to allow patching of all language installations supported by the affected Operating Systems.
