 Hello guys!
Today August 5, 1999 I concluded successfully the complete migration of my IDE from Windows NT4 SP5 to Windows 2000 Professional Beta 3. I presented my first bug report to Microsoft yesterday and now I' m working just fine here on my new IDE. I tested here several Windows applications and some apps simply don't install, as Fix-It99 from Mijenix, the ultimate tool for repair and maintenance on Windows 32 bits platform. I' m very surprise with the IE5 browser automatically installed by Win 2000 Pro: it simply runs three times more fast rather than on NT4 SP5. One of the applications that are running really fine here is the SemWare TSE32 Pro v. 2.80, editor in text mode that I use for code depuration (including HTML). I' m informed that SemWare, softwarehouse developer of the famous Qedit is working in new beta for TSE32 Pro, the most powerful programmer's editor for 32 bits currently available. The new version introduces special UNDO/REDO features and others enhancements. To visit the SemWare web site simply click the SemWare logo above.
I noted that several applications for Windows 32 bits runs on Windows 2000 Professional Beta 3 rather than on Windows NT4 SP5 and one of this applications is just the TSE32 Pro
This week I intend test more applications on Windows 2000 Professional Beta 3. At the moment I' m working on final adjusts, including installation of some peripherals, because the drivers are not upgraded by the developers for this new platform. If you are using Iomega ZIPs note that the Iomegaware drivers for NT runs only Windows NT 3.51 and Windows NT 4.0 releases. But I encourage you to follow me in this migration: the Windows 2000 Professional performance really improves productivity.
I noted that the NTFS5 has more stability that NTFS but can be more degraded by high fragmentation. I' m solving this problem here using the built in Defrag of Windows 2000 Professional Beta 3, built for manual operation (but can be schedulled if you prefer). In the photo below you can see the high fragmentation in the analysis graphic and the optimization in the other display.
