Do the newer versions of Windoze cough up these sorts of reports?

My task of the moment is getting my wife's Windoze computer to have our server show up as a shared device or device, like it does on our macs. So far I haven't figured out which rosetta stone I need to do this. I always wondered how well Apple acted on a network with Windoze machines. I just plug them in and they go here. As I stated, the Apple machines have no problems finding and displaying the network and what is attached to the network, which, by the way is not running on the Apple or Windoze OS. It's the Windoze machine that was the minor pain to get onto the network. I think Windows has more privacy options for network sharing than the Apple OS. With Apple it seems to be "on" or "off". Windows has several options to choose from and set. Perhaps it is too fine a point, but I wasn't trying to "share" anything on the Windoze computer. I was trying to access a directory on the server, which is not running Windoze or the Mac OS. I already had the Windoze machine "sharing" its data on the server via Windoze 7 backup software. I figured it out, finally, but it was obtuse. It doesn't help that neither Apple nor Microsoft give you any real printed reference materials with their operating systems. Almost everything is "on-line," and sometimes not easy to find. Ah, I understand. I had problems just trying to get the iMac and Windows machines to talk to each other via the home network. One thing I've noticed (and don't understand) is why software updates released by Apple take so long to install. It's not machine related .... seems to be on both my Vista and iMac. For example, iTunes recently had an update. It was a fairly large file but downloaded in a reasonable period of time to both machines. But when it went to install, it took longer than the download did, again on both machines. At first I thought something screwed up and was about to cancel the install but then the bar starting moving again. |
