OK, another one. Just uploaded that one to beta.windowmaker.org (hey, another beta!), and will also gladly share it here:



It's WIndowMaker on Linux, I configured it to something between NeXT retro (window borders, dock etc.) and a nice background image, which I took from one of the themes on http://lonelymachines.org/windowmaker-t ... al-themes/.

Ugh, Server 2003.

If you don't like Windows Server 2003, is it possible to upgrade to a newer version of Windows (Server counterpart)? Surely, you could either install the latest Release Candidate or pre-RTM version of such, and convert it to a Service Pack release using maxtorix's procedure, or even install Windows Server 8, if you can't purchase your own copy of Windows.

That's what I would do if I was in such a situation, however, if you're concerned that an upgrade might somehow damage your Windows installation, I understand.

I could, but I'd have to do a complete clean install since I can't get my Server 2003 domain schema converted over to a Server 2008-compatible schema.

>using pre-release Windows on a production server
Yeah. No. For something as mission-critical as a server, you do not ever run a pre-release copy of Windows on it. That's just asking to have a major failure.

or even install Windows Server 8,

Windows Server 8 is AMD64 only. My server does not support AMD64. The only builds of Server 8 out there are pre-release anyway.

Got Mountain Lion Developer Preview 1 working (I think this is a tradition for me to install Dev Preview builds after they just release). I finally solved the problem, why 10.7.1 and higher wasn't booting, that's because Apple dropped support for my IDE chipset. So I install another JMicron kext (so that I have 2 of them), and it's all working (except the single-user mode, duh). I also used AppleEMC, because people reported that this is better than FakeSMC on 10.8.

Well, actually, if you converted the pre-RTM version of Windows to a later Service Pack release, then not only would it have already been a pre-RTM version earlier (with almost no bugs remaining), but whatever remained of the pre-release charactoristics would be removed by the Service Pack release anyway, which is why I suggested it (please note that I only support such procedures in cases involving economic problems, and that I'm otherwise for aquiring Windows normally).

Except you could just use a proper RTM copy. Even if it's pirated, less scope for bugs and no more illegal.

Updated again, I seem to be changing my desktop quite frequently.



Please excuse the gray line at the bottom thats what happens when you hide the Win7 taskbar.

Desktop and laptop are the same boring stuff as ever (just faster since I put in new SSDs) so why now show off the new server I built:

Gentoo VM, for SSHing and other linux related things.


Server and another server (host running 7 Pro 64-bit hosting VMs and NAS, guest is 2008 R2 Enterprise doing DHCP, DNS and something else, ah MSDNAA)

The whole thing is mounted in a soda crate, hostname after a local beer distributer:

Early build, I've added some supports and an external board with some more external drives to increase NAS capacity.

Too late for a Windows 8 Consumer Preview desktop?

Too late for a Windows 8 Consumer Preview desktop?

Updated again, worth it!

You're the first!

I guess I'm the second...

The performance with Win8 is outstanding with my VirtualBox, only using 2Gb of RAM and a single core. Great job Microsoft.

Thanks to Matt A. Tobin for this wallpaper idea


As a random fact, I have absolutely nothing pinned to my Superbar. I do everything by Start. Yes, I don't have anything pinned to my Superbar in Windows 7 as well.
