21) Questions and Answers : Windows : Windows Vista update & BOINC 5.10.28 possible error (Message 31687)

It\'s a qwerty board. There are quite a few French characters but I changed the language/keyboard to UK English (Canadian English is too American the way it is presented by Microsoft) with a U.S. International keyboard. Alas, they changed some of the letter availability and can\'t, easily, do Œ/œ any more but other like ß are CTRL+ALT+S, é = \'+e, ê = ^+e, ö = \"+o, etc..

Yeah, I experimented with dual partitions on an older laptop but didn\'t like it even though I learnt Ubuntu that way. I prefer one o/s per computer. As for this one... there are several nice features that I doubt Ubuntu will, properly, support until the next release.

Rumour has it, on this side of the Atlantic (Canada) that some of the big names (HP? Dell?) will be selling laptops with Ubuntu next year. As for pricing... should be cheaper than Windows uless the manufactures decide to take extra profit. Whether they will still gouge the Canadian public (35% premium over the exchange rate)...

As for this one, it was heavily discounted so it was almost as cheap as the U.S. retail store price - though with a bi-lingual (Fr/En) keyboard.

As for desktops - the next one I build will be a Linux or OpenBSD version.

work unit: 6111428
result: 7033723

only ran for 3 days before the Windows update error (the laptop is only slightly older than the crashed work unit)

new work unit downloaded: 6110928

using an AMD Turion 64 ×2 TL-58

As for backing up - only if it is automated as I have enough on the go without having to worry about more Windows problems.

Now if I could find a manufacturer that would let me buy a new laptop, without Windows or any other software installed, so I could instal Ubuntu Linux... well... there\'d be fewer worries.

I was required to re-boot for an update, forgot to exit boinc and when the reboot was complete, CPDN (running) and all my Milkyway units (not-running) generated client-errors. No other units, runing or not, were affected.
