Windows 7: Nothing More Than Vista Face-lift

Posted on 31 January 2009

think, time is not really on Microsoft’s side. They are releasing one failed product after another. They are like Motorola these days. Motorola never came up with anything better after its RAZR mobile phone design. The bets version of Windows 7 Sucks and sucks badly. have a look yourself. Is this all worth an expensive hardware upgrade? No! I think with economy slowing down, hardware vendors and IT managers will find it difficult to convince their customers and bosses to invest in fancy technology that is nothing more than a facelift over and existing OS. Take a look and decide for yourself

Run Away & Hide! When A Hosting Company Offer You Unlimited Bandwidth And Disk Space.

Posted on 24 January 2009

These days “Unlimited packages” being offered by many web hosting companies and web hosting reseller. Be it dedicated server or virtual private server, people are just looking for cheap webhosting. demand for unmetered bandwidth and unlimited ftp space have become increasingly common. Companies are claiming to provide unlimited disk space and bandwidth. This is just an advertising gimmick.

Bandwidth is the quantity of data that is transferred, from and to your server. Let me do some math. Let’s assume, you have an HTML file that is 60 kilobyte in size. If anybody accesses that file. he will use 60kb of bandwidth in that particular data transfer.

Hey Microsoft! Do We Really Need Windows 7?

Posted on 22 January 2009

Yesterday at dinner table, few of my tech friends and I were discussing release of Windows 7 by Microsoft. the little chit chat soon turned into a heated debate. Operating systems choice is a very subjective matter. There is no one-size-fits all OS. Each person choose his OS according to his personal taste and requirement. Most people currently use more than one Operating systems. Windows is such necessary evil that everyone has to use it at. There is no escape from Microsoft Windows. Although the list of free operating systems is growing, we still needs windows for majority of tasks(this statement was most controversial last night).

This build of Office system 2009 which is pictured below seems to be installed on Windows 7 and it doesn’t look like that Microsoft bothered to improvise on it’s UI. Almost nothing has been overhauled yet and the visuals are very similar to Office 2007’s UI.
