Are You Getting the $800 Apple Tablet?
by Guest NewsBot- 0 replies
- 149 views
Microsoft first launched the era of Tablet PCs which eventually died down after the release of ultra portable notebooks, cheaper priced laptops, and eventually the phenomenal launch of netbooks. Today, the tablet PC is making a comeback as with the release of Archos running on Windows 7. Apple has swayed away from building their own netbook MAC as they have always been the innovator, but it seems they have to give in and as such they are reviving the tablet instead. According to reports Apple is on it’s way building their tablet (tablet MAC, tablet iphone?) which is due [...]Post from: Windows Vista Weblog More...

I haven’t installed my Windows 7 operating system on my machine but so far I have heard all my colleagues praising how fast the operating system is. I have no problems upgrading to Windows 7 and is totally convinced that I should do so. The only reason I haven’t upgraded yet is the confidence that all the applications I am using would work flawlessly in Windows 7.

Win2000 versus Win server 20003 on old hardware
by Guest Zootal- 0 replies
- 214 views
I have an older box, AMD Sempron 2400+, 1GB ram, that I use for to run a couple of half-life servers. I upgraded it from Win2000 to server 2003, and when I did I noticed a significant increase in cpu consumption. On the Win2000 box, the server executables would use maybe 30% cpu when fully populated. On the Winserver 2003 box, it used 80-90% cpu. My first guess was that the cpu scheduler in server 2003 has more overhead and the context switches were using up all the extra cpu. My second guess was that I really didn't have a clue why. On both installations I stopped all services I didn't think needed to be running. Anyone have experience running server 2…

I have previously written about the things you need to consider when upgrading from Windows Vista to Windows 7. I have noted that despite Microsoft’s campaign about easily moving from Windows Vista to Windows 7, it would still require enormous task on the users side. These tasks include backing up of files, ensuring drivers and software hardwares are available, applications you use continue to run, etc. I am reading this article from ComputerWorld titled "Opinion: Your XP-to-Windows 7 upgrade path: Buy a new PC" wherein the author says that upgrade from Windows XP to Windows Vista is not an [...]Post from: Windows Vista Weblog More...
