Vista bug: Katy is now allowed!!

« on: February 17, 2007, 03:34:03 am »

Προσπαθήστε να δημιουργήστε έναν λογαριασμό με το όνομα Katy.
Όχι δεν μπορείτε!
Χαχα!
Γιατί;
Θέλει και ερώτημα;

When I set up a new Windows machine, I usually add a Standard user account for Katy and use it when I want to test applications or features under a user account.

But a strange thing happened this morning when I tried to create Katyʼs account on a new machine running Windows Vista Ultimate 64-bit edition. I opened the User Accounts Control Panel, clicked Create New Account, and entered Katyʼs name, just as Iʼve done on at least 100 other installations in the past year and a half.

But when I pressed Enter, I was greeted with this message:

Well, thatʼs strange. There are no special characters in the name at all. I can create new accounts using other names, including four-letter names that begin with a capital letter and end with y. I can create this account with the name Kat, Kate, or Katie. But entering Katy as the user name fails, with this baffling message.

This is a new, fresh installation of Windows Vista. Iʼve tried changing the keyboard, with the same results. Iʼve tried logging off and restarting the computer. I tried creating a new account in the Administrators group, logging on with that account, and then creating Katyʼs account. No joy.

Iʼm stumped. Any suggestions on what could be going on here? Iʼm especially interested in any suggestions from folks working on the Windows Vista team at Microsoft.

… Ah, mystery solved. And this is indeed a bug.

Yesterday, while working on one of the very last pieces of Windows Vista Inside Out, I was testing Windows Easy Transfer (the successor to the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard in Windows XP). At one point I transferred a group of settings from a virtual machine with three user accounts to this machine, which has only one. The settings were transferred, apparently successfully. But some items in the Registry were, shall we say, incongruous. An account called Katy had entries in the registry for its SID and profile location. The trouble is, that account didnʼt actually exist, and when I went to create it Windows threw up the most appropriate error message it could find, which wasnʼt actually appropriate.

A little something for Windows Vista Service Pack 1, I hope, and for the next edition of Windows Vista Inside Out.

Goodbye to you, my trusted friend.
We've known each other since we were nine or ten.
Together we 've climbed hills or trees.
Learned of love and ABC's,
skinned our hearts and skinned our knees.

Goodbye my friend, it's hard to die,
when all the birds are singing in the sky,
Now that the spring is in the air.
Ο λογαριασμός έχει παραβιαστεί, μην ανοίξετε το link. are everywhere.
When you see them I'll be there.

We had joy, we had fun, we had seasons in the sun.
But the hills that we climbed
were just seasons out of time.

μα δεν είναι ένα απλό bug, είναι κορυφαίο bug!
Τέρμα οι κακές γλώσσες!
Τελικά πρέπει να παραδεχτούμε ότι τα παραθύρια πράγματι εξελίσσονται.
Τα bugs τους πληθαίνουν συνεχώς και ανεβαίνουν επίπεδο!
