Expression Media Reader is a free application that enables you to share Expression Media catalogs with anyone on the Macintosh or Windows platform who may not own Expression Media.

Expression Media users create catalogs that they can subsequently save and distribute, along with the original images, if they choose. Users who do not own Expression Media can then use Expression Media Reader to view, label, rate, and add comments to the distributed catalogs. Expression Media Reader opens catalogs written by Expression Media, iView Media, and MediaPro 1.5, 2.x or 3.x. and is also compatible with all the files that Expression Media can open. In addition, Expression Media Reader features the Slide Show function included in Expression Media.

Now there comes a time in a man life when you have to choose which browser you’re going to use. But for me I picked both, sometimes I want to see whats on the other side Now Looking for tweaks For IE7 can be a little difficult because almost all articles about tweaking IE7 are all automated and you have to install a third party tweaking software which I don’t like. so what else could do, but to fire up my Registry Editor.

Now We can speed up IE7 page loading especially on multiple tabs and look for this key

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings]

Windows Vista has a new color-management/profiling format called Windows Color Systems.

Joe, its obvious to me you are living in 1996. The days of NT 4 and disparately waiting for the Service Pack are over. Since the introduction of Windows Update and pervasiveness of the Internet particularly in the release of Windows 2000, it has begun to phase out the necessity of waiting for the first Service Pack approach before making mass deployments or putting a new OS in production. Yes, Service Packs are inevitable and what you are getting now through Windows Update in Vista today is mostly what you will be seeing in SP1 for Vista; a collection of bug fixes, security updates and likely better support for
