The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Hi,

I have been asking about how to dual boot between Vista and Windows 2008. The perceived need for Vista is to enable domestic software such as Multimedia ie non work fun software... However I have seen postings about using Windows 2008 as a workstation OS and how to do it. Apparently when done it runs more quickly and more stably than Vista. However the big question is whether I will run into problems running non work fun software on it which Vista is quilty of to a degree with its driver issues.

If Windows 2008 is fine with my home stuff then I will not need to implement a multiboot setup. I need Windows 2008 somewhere on my Quad Core PC to run Hyper-V.

Thanks for any insight into this,

Sam
