I'm hoping this list gets some traction so I'm going to ping a bunch of the people who have indicated interest in Windows, and/or Microsoft.

FULL DISCLOSURE

If you want to know my background, here's a section of my FR Profile page devoted to it. Or if you don't want to read that, here's the...

Executive Summary:

I've been doing computer software since 1970, hardware design since 1976, I've designed and built computers (hardware, software, entire systems) for spacecraft, industrial process control, commercial applications, and consumer products. I was a System Engineer most of my career, now I'm doing System Administration for a software outfit in upstate NY. Over the years I've made most of my money working on or with Microsoft software -- 8KBASIC and Xenix and MS-DOS and Windows, every release of Windows since 2.0! These days I work with every kind of computer and operating system, not just Windows -- all of 'em. :)

So you will find this Ping List to be pretty even-handed, at least insofar as I have any comments to make. I don't waste my time hating on any particular piece of software or hardware, that's just dumb. But I do have opinions, and I look forward to reading yours!

So I believe I'm qualified to pick up the reins of a Windows Ping List, and I invite y'all to get on board and let's see if we can make this turkey fly!!

Thanks and FRegards,
Dayglored

Thank you VanDeKoik for today's inspiration to get off my butt after complaining for 6 years. I've been getting psyched for a couple weeks (ShadowAce and Swordmaker will attest to that) but your comment today was the one that put me over the top.

Now help me out. I'm completely serious about doing this list, and I would enjoy your help letting people know about it. Thanks!

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

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.
