I just wanted to point out that the xp connection manager has been available in all later releases of windows. There’s just one(or two) extra step(s) of getting there.

Anyone know how to get VZAccess Manager to work on Windows 7? I don’t have a Internet connection at home, I’ve been using Verizon mobile broadband. I installed VZAccess Manager on Windows 7 and when I try to activate it, it says WWAN is not turned on, and I have no way to turn it on. My master wireless switch is on, and a simple reboot to Vista lets me connect to mobile broadband with no problem. It’s frustrating since if I don’t have Internet access I can’t effectively work in Windows 7 and check out its features and provide feedback. Thanks for any answers.

What I meant is that I’d love to see some citations of that claim, because I’ve not seen or ready any indication to even hint or suggest that.

I didn’t literally mean it’s gone, gone… I know it’s still technically there through registry edits… but I meant it’s gone from public view. For most users and practical purposes, it’s gone.

directly from the devs that work directly with MS (MS gives devs an idea of future UI changes so they can have their programs ready by time of launch). keep in mind these are real devs (Adobe, Acronis, etc) not lowpro programmers

QL is still in the code & can be reenabled. hell, even the placement is still located in the user profile.

For the paranoid, though, one of the start menu options is to shut off recent program and file tracking. :) Then, programs that support active jump lists (like Messenger and Media Player) can show their quick-actions without the mess of the documents.
