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
This year and the next

I just wanted to point something out to everyone. Technology and our world is advancing super-fast, I mean, I can barely keep up. So what does this year and the next year still hold for us?
Let’s look at Operating Systems:

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…
