To Microswift: you are tin-livered. needed to keep all of your billions so gates can live in swatzikerland, more than you needed to keep your word here to us.

You swift guys also hunted down software developers and if they wouldnt accept your offer to buy them out, then you sued them over and over in court until you bankrupted their company with the legal fees. And then their software was 'liberated' out of their cold dead company fingers. software ***.

you threatened the computer manufacturers to not sell your competitors operating systems. operating system ***.

stay in switzerland and dont come back here. nothing was sacred to you. nothing is sacred to you. dont come home. we were your people but we dont want your kind here.

stay there where only money matters, like it was when hitlers *** used your new country, switzerland, for their bank to. you all deserve one another. stay close together there, so THE Lord doesnt have to harm more geography to Judge you all, together.

when the west coast falls off into the ocean, all of your redmond washington may be Judged and go with it.

This works. Thanks. Though it is rare to see, it is possible to see it again. Is there a patch/fix from MS for this issue?

Steve,

Thank you for informing us about this. We have worked with Jon W (the commenter) where we provided him with the latest web filter on his AE. He has confirmed earlier today that Microsoft updates is working correctly.

Thanks!

Mark has been adding additional tweets on this, so as long as he comes up with them, I'll continue to add them to the list. Make sure you check back here occasionally and scan for an update.

Hi Jon,

Our office has not had any problems since running on the following build: Calyptix AE1000 Version 2.00 Build 20090417-34.

Our QuickBooks and Microsoft Updates are all functional at this time. Check your build and let your reseller and/or Calyptix Support know if you are at a lower build so they can get you updated. Please post another comment here after you get with Calyptix with whether or not that solves it and I'll ensure it gets posted.

Thanks!

Steve

re: Microsoft's Digital Locker is going away

Don — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 04:09:03 GMT

Are you kidding me?

Does Microsoft ever consider the decisions they make or the impact it might have on the consumer?

I personally used this product called the Digital Locker several years back 2005-2006 with other bitching about VISTA i stayed a supporter. I purchased several products in that time frame and can imagine other purchasing hundreds and even thousands of dollars and storing them on this website as advertised, store your info and you will never have to worry about finding your software or license key again.

Well I guess Microsoft is right about one thing, store it with them and after they delete from their web site you will never have to worry about getting any of that information or the products again. end of story.

Thanks again Microsoft, I am a true believer now.

Haven't tried editing the XML. I'll check with the EBS team and see what they think about the idea. - Steve

Mark Stanfill had a comment on this once he saw it, and I agree, you really need to use a commercial SSL certificate (GoDaddy, Thawte, or Verisign for example) so you don't have to mess with the certificate package. Below is Mark's comment. - Steve

"Oh, gawd, please, no. Don't be a cheapskate. You will end up supporting every user's home PC, laptop, and Windows Embedded sewing machine. Big boys (ok, medium-biz-sized boys) should factor in the price of a real commercial cert with the price of the deployment :)"

That worked perfectly! You do have to empty the entire folder, not just the fax.tifs. I'm just wondering how many times I'm going to have to do this for the user?
