hey has anyone around here tried to download the trial of the
professional edition?

i swear; it gives me the file in IMG format.. drives me crazy! WTF IS
AN IMG?

I tried their instructions; to download IsoBurner... and it just
blatantly didn't work.. I mean; it just didn't work at all.

where is the simplicity?

GIVE US AN ISO FILE LIKE EVERYWHERE
ELSE?????????????????????????????????????????????????

I mean; we get an ISO file for SQL Server..

realistically; it should just be an executible; I mean-- do we really
need to burn this to CD in order to run it?

IS THIS PRACTICAL?
DO THEIR INSTRUCTIONS _WORK_?
 
I think there are tons of program to deal with .img (CloneCD )

If I remember well, sometime I used one called "winimage"
which you can download from the internet

-P
 
SERIOUSLY WHY THE **** DOES MS NEED TO USE AN OBSCURE FORMAT?

I couldnt' get winimage to work

I couldnt' get iso burner to work
I couldn't get fireburner to work

I JUST WANT TO INSTALL THE GODDAMN TRIAL
 
Image files are hardly obscure. They've been around for years. Any burning
software, like Roxio, will create a CD for you from an image file. I'm sure
you knew that.

*sigh* Because if he actually ADMITTED knowing it, he would have to admit
that he has a much larger problem that he has to deal with... his
personality.
 
WTF IS ROXIO?

they're not even selling CD burning software anymore right? I mean;
they spun off their CDR division for $10m in order to focus on
becoming 'the new napster'

ROFL

what a piece of shit ass software; there is no excuse for Microsoft to
not use an ISO file.
they use ISO files everywhere else--

IS UNECESSARY CHANGE _SEXY_
IS UNECESSARY CHANGE _NECESSARY_

You M$ fanboys need to stop sticking up for this oppressive, STUPID
****ing company.

I MEAN.. ANY RETARD IN USABILITY WOULD REALIZE 'UH, WHY DONT WE JUST
BE CONSISTENT AND USE AN ISO FILE'

I MEAN SERIOUSLY HERE

I finally got it working using this 'Daemon Tools' software that I
trust-- I just don't _TRUST_ random 3rd party software like Roxio and
ISO Magic and ISO buner; all that other crap

DAEMON TOOLS I trust; because I've seen security audits and it's
actually pretty well written
 
btw; from dictionary.com

i never claimed that it was a 'new format'-- because nero doesn't work
with it; Media Player won't use it.. FireBurner doesn't support it.
I was saying it was OBSCURE-- as in 'its not acceptable because nobody
knows WTF to do with an IMG file'

Roxio Easy Media Creator is by far the most widely used CD/DVD creator
software, and it has this capability. Just because you're using an inferior
product, don't blame it on us.

Have a nice day.

Would you care to retract that last statement about nero not supporting an
..img file, Aaron?

http://www.fireburner.com/index.php?page=10

Hmmm, looks like the Fireburner statement is a myth as well.

Insofar as Media Player not supporting an .img file, Media Player is not a
piece of CD-burning software. Or didn't you know that? An .img file must be
burned to a CD/DVD prior to being played in Media Player if the file(s)
contained within the .img file are supported by the MediaPlayer codecs.

right now.

so are you telling me I could have changed the extension from IMG to
ISO and extracted it with WINRAR?

I can extract ISO files with WINRAR; it sure would help if MIcrosoft
released disk images in a STANDARD FORMAT like ISO.

WHY THE INCOSISTENCY?
