Virtual Windows XP
Nov 3rd
Windows 7 has a very nice, unique feature and that is virtualization. You can create virtual Windows XP, and as many as your system can handle. There’s no limit on how many of them you create, and each one can be different. The Virtual Windows XP is easy to set up, you can create your own password and everything. Drivers are already installed so you don’t have to worry about pulling out those old CDs or searching the internet just to get your XP to work. The whole system connects to your Windows 7 just as if it was just another application.

Windows 7: The best thing to happen to computers?
Nov 3rd
I’m dead serious with the title. I’ve installed W7 a couple days ago, and I have been testing it in ever way a person like me would use Windows 7 for. Look, I am a very non-lenient consumer when it comes to OS, Imaging Programs, and anything to do with web-development. I have my reasons for rejecting Vista, I have my reasons for rejecting a new computer, I have good reasons why I use Linux only for school work. Everything I use on my computer, I criticize and I KNOW exactly what the product needs to perfect. Well, I’m on Windows 7 right now, and before I give you my review of the system, let me tell you about my computer: I have a Dell Inspiron 1501, here are the specs:
- Processor: AMD Turion 64 MK-36 2 GHz (single core AMD)
- Ram: 1920 mb (DDR2 SDRAM)
- Graphics Card: ATI Radeon Xpress Series 1150M (128mb)
- HDD: 160 gb SATA
Defragment! Yes, you should (have to)…

Defraggler
Download it for FREE at defraggler.com. When my friends ask me how to speed up their computers, or just plaincomplain about their computers being slow, I have few steps. One of my steps is to tell them to “defragg” their hard drive. With the new era coming in with humongous hard drives the defragmenting is more and more nescessary. First of all and advice, Your main hard drive or the one that has your operating system on it should be less than 320GB. You ask why? You need only about 100GB, if that, for your operating system and other programs. For your data: MP3, pictures, and movies use the big hard drives like 1TB or bigger. The reason being, is when you defragment your main hard drive, the one with operating system, you will not really add that much stuff, well not as much as a library of songs or pictures. If you follow this then defragmenting will not be needed that often and will take significantly less time.
Well now to the software…
