Apr 25	comment	Does Windows 7 Ultimate Lite support Visual Studio 2008 & 2010? I think Windows 7 Ultimate Lite is a hacked, unauthorized version of Ultimate, with a bunch of "unnecessary" pieces stripped out. Or that's what Google's implying.

Oct 4	comment	How do i use a web browser to FTP with a user/pass where the pass has a @ in it? @Justin: If that password is correct, maybe the ftp server just can't handle a password encoded like that.
