Windows Vista - Paris [message #73564]

With the multiple computers in my home network I decided to take the splurge
and install the Vista RC1 on one of my computers that is just kinda sitting
there... I gotta say, I like it. Been playing with it off and on for about
2 weeks now... It does have quite a few software/driver issues still. From
what I hear, it's many times better than the last beta release. AND IT'S so
much secure than virii cancerous XP. Here's a nice little article about
Vista.

http://news.com.com/Piecing+together+Windows+Vista/2009-1016 _3-6050105.html?tag=st.ref.goo

Anyway, has anyone taken the time to try Vista RC1 with Paris?
I searched around this newsgroup and can't really find anyone commenting or
stating they tried. But my outlook data is limited and only goes back a few
months... I am positive I am going to upgrade to Vista when it's
released... at least on my notebooks... cause I really hate XP! Sure would
be nice to get Paris working on a secure OS... anyone?

Ed,

The Vista OS completely changes the manner in which applications run on the
operating system (in a protected space), breaking at least half of the apps
that are out there today. The printing and scanning subsystems are totally
new and most of the bi-directional communications that are available in these
types of devices completely breaks Vista.

However, PARIS 4.0 should run on Vista just fine! ;-)

I suggest not even attempting as it will be a total waste of time. Stick
with XP (or Mac OS 9.2) for PARIS. Disconnect the machine from the Internet
and strip out all of the unnecessary Windows tasks.

MHO,

Mark

That raises a question that you might be able to answer for me Mark. Is
there a way to keep my Paris box hooked up to my home network for easy file
transfers but not have it hooked up to the web at all? I'm kinda green when
it comes to networking...!!

I assume you don't know then? I have been testing the last Beta and the RC1
on a separate PC... M$ has made a remarkable come back from Beta to RC1.
My question is... has anyone tested Paris with it? I am in a downtime soon
and I may do just that. Waste my time, hmmm. There are some apps that
don't work in Vista... but there are many that now do work in Vista RC1
because a few slow ones at M$ apparently didn't catch up till RC1.
Lastly... I don't use XP and never will use that virii infested piece of
shit OS... with so many holes and too many phone homes for me.... I'll
stick with 2000 until something better comes along.

I am not Mark... but you broke into my thread... ;)~

The answer is yes. I assume you have a router for your home network? Just
disable those computers in the router.

Probably a multitude of ways to accomplish this. You could set up your router
to block all incoming traffic to your machine (via IP or MAC address), set
some very restrictive rules on the PC's firewall s/w, set the PC up on a
separate VLAN (requires an Ethernet switch), etc.
