dieseldave 5 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 Just tried to make a purchase from Trails Inn and couldn't pay with my MB. The story we got was that the IT group is in the process of making a move to a new system and caused the outage for all of the parks and resorts. We were told that you can't pay with the MB, FP+ isn't working and people can't get into their rooms at any of the resorts. Not a very magical evening for some people.

That one part would be pretty aggravating. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BradyBzLyn...Mo 2,023 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 2 words.... Contingency Plan?? Although I'm skeptical of IT story. It makes no sense to plan to do anything that could risk the entire system going down during waking hours. If you're going to do something like that, you do it at 3am when it impacts the least number of people. Unless something happened and they didn't have a choice. If the whole system really is down for any length of time, that's going to be a cluster@#$% of epic proportions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Just be very careful with it Gwen. With no support for fixing holes that are found its a potential open door for the bad guys. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

With no support for fixing holes that are found its a potential open door for the bad guys. I only use it while on vacation, mainly to type up notes for my TR, upload photos, and make FP+ and ADRs.. Thanks for the warning. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Actually I need to upgrade the laptop but I don't want to give up XP.Windows 7 is the closest to XP.I had to order a used desktop off of Amazon to get one with 7 once 8 came out. My wife was used to XP and hated her sisters laptop with 8 on it.The newest version of 8 I think let's you use it like 7. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 My new (less than 4 months old) desktop runs Windows 7. I don't ever want Windows 8. arthuruscg 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Works well on my work laptop. I keep forgetting its 8. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Classact....Mike 17 Posted March 14, 2015 Report Share Posted March 14, 2015 I agree with Gwen. I don't like Windows 8 at all. However, the new versions allow you to use what they call a "classic shell" which looks very much like Windows 7 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
