My Take on Windows 7

Aside from the lame name, I like what I have seen so far. It boots faster on my system than Vista or XP and runs lighter on system resources. And this is with running the install as an upgrade and not a clean install. I have taken a hit though on my Windows Experience score. I think this is do to a lack of IDE support in Windows 7. I can understand this as most newer systems are moving to the faster SATA II standard. So my next install is going to be a clean install on a new SATA drive. We'll see how that goes.

Now, the desktop and toolbar are cleaner and sharper than under Vista and the Flip has gone away. Now if you hover over and icon in the tool bar, it shows a preview. Not having Windows mail or some of the other "Esentials" built in doesn't bother me as I don't use them. The only esential I use is the Live Writer for my Spaces blog. It will be interesting to see what comes of the beta program and what finally gets released.

Windows 7 ( part 2 )

OK then. I have decided that I hate Windows 7. It is awful, looks like Vista Basic ( except for the taskbar ), has all the bundled apps relegated to the Windows Live Essentials ( if it is so essential then why not bundle it? ), and is so... crappy.

Yet another Windows Vista. Except its a set forward... and two steps back.

Windows 7

Hey guy I am writing this article from my copy of the Windows 7 Ultimate Beta!!!
I'm gonna write a great magazine article about this.

TechnoRepublic Magazine

Happy belated new year!
Today is the launch of the first ever TechnoRepublic magazine, and it looks very professional from the start.

Inside: a look at visual computing ( aka GPGPU technology ), Ubuntu 9.04 Jaunty Jackalope, and a comprehensive, multi-article guide to 64 bit. You won't be disappointed.

Another Apple Spoiler

Could Apple be planning a MacBook Air with more ports?
