Now what we all need to know is: What is yours?

Got this from Natyvw blog.

As discussed – here – if you multiply 850 by 77.1 in A1 cell you will get 100000 instead of 65535. Microsoft already knows about this problem and is working in a update, but do you want to know more?

• A1+1 returns 100001.
• A1*2 returns 131,070 (A1=65.535 ??).
• A1*1 returns 100,000.
• A1/1 returns 100,000.
• A1/2 returns 32767,5 (A1=65.535 ??).
• And it keeps on and on…

The 850*77.1 isn’t and exception. An error in the Excel logic is possibly the cause and more numbers are affected, I won’t give more details as they are more explored in this discussion group – as told before.

Anyway, I wasn’t planning to install 2007 so soon – I already tested it, but I will keep to 2003(I don’t like the new “visual enhancements”) – if it works for what I want why update.

CSSVista is a free Windows application for web developers which lets you edit your CSS code live in both Internet Explorer and Firefox simultaneously.

The possibility of using IE and Firefox in the same windows while editing the CSS in real time is awesome. The bad thing about it is about that we can’t change between versions of IE, and support for more browsers would be great. Although that, this new version has code completion and element outlining to help you see side-by-side all block elements in both browsers.

You can get more info and download here: http://sitevista.com/cssvista/.

The problem:
Firefox automatic downloaded a new version and asked for restart.
Restarted and then I get:

Software Update Failed
One or more files could not be updated. Please make sure all other applications are closed and that you have permission to modify files, and then restart Firefox to try again.

Weird but after a lot of search and a few tries to change file permissions and other things around it , I discovered that YzDock was blocking somehow the update installation.

The Solution:
YzDock options -> Quit.

Open firefox, the update installation is done and voi?la…done.

Edit: This affects both firefox and thunderbird.

In the first boot, I discovered that Vista has a boot manager – better than XP. After the first bootload Vista tested my Hardware and gave a few points for every section of it(processor, graphics, …) – got 2.6 at graphics…weeeee. After that was time to login and how pretty it was. Entered my new Desktop and voila – got amazed how good looking the windows are. Without the AERO theme it will look like XP, but the feel is another thing – the mouse interface with files remembered me of Gnome, and the right click scheme feels like Linux too…and then the first Blue Screen[forget the linux part] – Vista Crashed! It Crashed and has done a fast recovery, some count down and – boom – restart. The boot is incredibly fast for a ‘heavy like hell’ operative system and the login was just like a blink.

I won’t say much more, even because NVidia drivers didn’t work, they made the first crash and after a few tryouts I have quit – I didn’t spend much time trying to make them work, and didn’t crash anymore – and because of that, the graphics performance were a bit down.

I don’t want to tell you more, get it and see it for yourself.

P.S: Already removed Vista – Installed on Saturday Afternoon, removed in Sunday Night.

For security they have added a lot new features. I’m not talking about anti spyware/ad-aware – included in this version – but I am talking about programs run and execution. You will be asked, like linux, to insert your administrator password every time you need to mess up with the system.

And even more: they were smart enough to keep unstable “things” away from system kernel, like the device drivers – they said that the majority crashes could be from those little things. They added a few more things to easy your online life, and others for you work, many of them could be better, but just trying I can say more about that.

To conclude: see it for your self, spend some money and hope for some free blue screens.
