Although I'm late to the party in reviewing Windows Vista SP1, it's becoming widely available as I write this, so now is as good a time as any for my review. Rather than try to cover every improvement in SP1, I'm going to cover my particular experiences. Read my review.
I had someone stop by the site recently looking for information on how to find their network card's MAC address, also known as a physical or hardware address. I realized that it's actually tough to find the MAC address in Windows Vista, so I decided to write an article to show how to find the MAC address in Vista, Windows XP and Mac OS X 10.4.
Windows groups your taskbar buttons when they get too small by default. This means that by the time Windows actually groups the icons, you end up with so much taskbar clutter that you can't read the titles at all. Keep reading to find out how to control when Windows groups your taskbar icons.
I often talk to people who have full hard drives but don't know how to figure out where their drive space is being used. Generally I find that these folks try the best solution they know, which is to go through their drive looking at each individual folder's properties. There's a better way to check your used drive space, and the best part is that it's free.
In my second Mac OS X and Windows integration article, I cover how to add your Mac to Active Directory with Apple's built-in tools. Adding Macs to your AD domain allows users to login to all of your local Macs rather than creating local or guest accounts on every Mac.
Macs are increasing in popularity, and I think that will eventually lead to more Macs running on Windows-based business networks. Running Mac OS X clients with Windows server creates interoperability challenges that I'll address in a series of articles. In this article, I show how to automatically mount a Windows share in Mac OS X Tiger.
