Unlike the rosy picture I had painted about SUA in my previous post, I’ve ran into a lot of problems with it once I have installed it on my new version of Vista Ultimate. First off, I enabled SUA through the Control Panel, then I went to download the SDK and utilities off of Microsoft’s Website. After I installed everything (by doing default and clicking Next), it told me to restart my computer. It turned off fine, but it couldn’t turn back on!
It went to the recovery screen because it could not start Windows Vista properly. Talk about problems eh? It then asked me if I wanted to go back to previous settings, I was pissed at this point and opted no, just for the hell of it to see. It still attempted the repair process, taking about 20 minutes, could not find anything, then restarted. This time, it restarted fine…wtf? After all that installations of the SDK and utilities, I have the C shell and the K shell on my start menu, neither of which I prefer. So I went to install bash…but I don’t know how to use their pkg utilities. (more…)

I was getting ready to test Interix/SFU/SUA under my new computer running Vista Home Premium. What I found was really disappointing. There are NO support for SUA under Home Premium. I looked at this closer and realized that there are no support in any versions of Vista Home along with Vista Business. Only Enterprise and Ultimate supports SUA. For those of you who aren’t into *nix, you may be asking yourself, "What the hell is SUA?" (more…)
