OKAY! All you Windows users and admins and fanboys, Microsoft followers and folks, all you 90% of the computer users in the world...

So if you want on the All-New Windows Ping List (or off, but ya gotta get on before you can get off), FReepMail me (dayglored) and I'll put ya on the list.

I love Windows 7 and 8. They are highly functional with very pleasant GUIs. Windows 10 will be even better!

SCREW TIM KOOK AND APPLE!!

This would be great as long as each keeps to their own lists, discussing their own products.

Things get WAY OUT OF HAND with the NUTS who seem to be obsessive/compulsive in threads on products they say they HATE ... LOL ...

Good luck with your ping list!

You’ll know you’re on this ping list when you get a blue screen of death.

Okay. Shower is done. I’m squeaky clean. Now, if I could just figure out how to log in....

I heard being a member of this ping list means you’ll get your beeber stuned every so often. True?

Thanks, Star Traveler! I'm hoping that these threads don't get overwhelmed the way Swordmaker's Mac/Apple threads do sometimes with negativity.... then again, there are many times more people out there who hate Windows than those who hate Apple. :)

Let's try to keep it positive and interesting, and perhaps things will balance out nicely. One can hope!

Do you want on the list? You didn't say explicitly, and I don't want to presume, but you're certainly welcome.

I work in a fairly large environment and have to create a couple hundred user accounts at a time on occasion.

Excel + Notepad + Powershell and you can rock in an AD environment.

Please add me to the list.

Thanks.

True. And unless you're very careful, you may get a ping from your sister, something about a moose bite...

Do they send you lists of usernames in emails wanting some kind of maintenance done on them?

I like the Windows 7 GUI but the GUI for 8, umm, to put it politely, leaves a lot to be desired.

However, under the hood, the AD management tools for Windows 8 are amazing.
