People,
For those of you working with Vista Business, and this may apply to all Vista versions, you may have noticed a rather strange Event Log entry titled ?bowser?.
I would like to clarify this on behalf of Microsoft, that well know professional outfit famous for streamlined, efficient, and well tested operating systems. This entry actually refers to the ?Browser?, as if you hadn?t guessed. It usually comes about due to the browser elections that happen from time to time in any ‘healthy’ Microsoft environment. I won?t go into the technical details, you should all know this anyway. The point is that Vista is the future of Desktops, like it or not, and as such it is a good plan to be as familiar with it as possible. To reach that nirvana it is necessary to fully understand the obscure nomenclature that Redmond developers choose to use when crafting their operating systems. Bowser is a new one on me. In my neck of the woods, here in darkest Wiltshire (UK of course) we use bowsers to provide drinking water for ruminators.
Apparently, this bovine reference does not allude to devotees of Windows, I would like to make that crystal clear.
If by happenstance I find any other little well thought out gems in Vista, I?ll let you know.
Have a nice day.
