    Vista Performance Tips & Tweaks

    yeah... uhh... i'm gonna sit there and fill out 'bug reports' for every window that pops up when i'm trying to throw away a shortcut off the desktop. there's dumb, and then there's dumber. as far as UAP 'protecting people from themselves'... there's a reason why i don't use training wheels...

    Run an IIS webserver but also share files locally...

    are you asking about the 360, or just an original xbox? doesn't the 360 use "windows media connect"? i'm not sure if that's a flavor of SFS, or if it runs separate from that... you could always run an FTP server on the webserver also, but FTPing in to grab an MP3 or something gets to be a...
