Its plan of attack: make the machines easier to use.

How bout starting with making it easier to see ALL computers in a heterogenous network!

For the life of me I don't know why they think they have to change networking on every new g-damn version of Windows.

“For the life of me I don’t know why they think they have to change networking on every new g-damn version of Windows.”

I hear ya on that one. I got a new computer, running Windows 7 (64 bit), and wanted to transfer some files to it from my old computer, which was running Windows XP. Do you think I could figure out how to let those two see each other so I could use Windows NetWorking between the two of them? And I work with a variety of computers (PCs and Unix boxes) and software for a living. Oh, I got close a couple of times, where one of the machines could at least see the other, but not access the shared drives, but could never actually get it working. I finally gave up on it and just used a thumb drive to transfer my files.
