Will do - will likely load W2K3 on this system as well for 64B testing. Everything else here at home is on a 32B VMWare system.
Enterprise is gone after 24 hours, and Ultimate is installed instead. Didn't realize that Enterprise lacked the multimedia components. Finally found a good comparison of all the versions, although not on a MS site. MS is strangely quiet about comparing Enterprise with anything else.
I'm not sure about some of the "softer" color presentations - might just be my older eyes. Took me a while to adopt to XP, too. My biggest gripe right now is not being able to find out how to display file extensions. I don't want to rely on fuzzy icons, or Windows "intelligence" to try and think for me to decide which file I want opened. Gonna dig a bit more before I go do some research.
Enabling the local Admin account was a big help, especially when installing custom drivers and such. No interference from UAC then, but absolutely impossible do do (with obscure and misleading error messages) trying to install driver updates with either my local or domain admin accounts. My local account is in the admins group, although I'm not permitted to go into the Windows folder or add drivers? And the local admin account is disabled by default? Wassup wit dat?
