How to share network media is common question on XP and even Vista despite improvements in the latter. If you do a basic search with Google or Live you’ll actually get mixed information with many people (including some Microsoft sources) saying that sharing of networked content is not possible.

Upgrade to dasBlog 1.7 completed… But Kyle’s being cheated!
Posted By Corey on February 1st, 2005
I made the supposedly easy upgrade to dasBlog 1.7 take ages. At least it seemed that way, a lot longer than it could’ve been really. All is well now.
In the process I started arguing with Kyle. Then I told him I love him in that geek way and all is well there now too. Or so it seems.
Kyle’s being cheated by AGUK. I’m pretty sure the meaning of clearance is the same in the US as it is in the UK. While I can’t blame the company for wanting to keep that extra 50%, it seems a bit steep. Especially if they want to keep a good customer who provides them business and sends business their way. If it was only, say $10 or $40 I’d say let it pass, big deal, but he paid $348 on the 29th then on the 1st he finds out they’ve slashed it to $174. Kyle’s started up a thread on this forum and hopefully should see it resolved successfully. On the other hand it doesn’t seem much different from the people I know who paid $250+ for the Audiovox SMT5600 only to find out later they could’ve bought the same thing from Amazon for better than free after mail-in rebates.
Why must companies be like this though? Sure it’s good to make a profit, but is it really worth it when you piss off otherwise loyal customers? Or is the “life isn’t fair” rule apply here?
