• Il leopardo aprirà i floodgates di OS X del Mac (ed imbarazzare Microsoft)
  Il produttore ritiene che l'OS X vendi Vista in più grande quantità da un margine di vacillamento. La base installata X corrente di OS è più meno di 25 milioni, con Vista finora che vende intorno 88 milione copie. Quello è un heck degli aggiornamenti molto e le nuove vendite Apple avranno bisogno di!

• Il bilancio su Windows Vista
  Windows Vista certamente ha avuto relativa parte equa dei naysayers, ma il sistema operativo sta trovando chiaramente il relativo senso sui lotti e sui lotti dei pc.

La compatibilità di applicazione rimane una delle edizioni più annoying per gli utenti di Windows Vista. La capacità di aggiornare il software ad una nuova versione compatibile del Vista non è sempre un'opzione. L'azienda che ha sviluppato l'applicazione può più non essere intorno o il costo da aggiornare è troppo alta. In my case, I have a lot of classic PC games that will not run at all under Windows Vista no matter how I configure the compatibility options. In order to play my old games I need to install Windows XP. However, I am not exactly ready to give up all of the advances in Windows Vista just so that I can play my old games once in a while. The answer is to dual boot Windows Vista and XP.

Dual booting Windows XP and Vista on the same computer will allow you to select from a boot menu what operating sytem you want to run. This menu is shown right after you power on your computer. Setting up both Windows XP and Vista on one computer can be a little ticky depending what operating system you have installed first. The next two sections will help you configure

Re-installing Windows can be a traumatic business, it’s bad enough having to backup all of your data and re-install your programs but the worst bit is tracking down all of the drivers for your hardware and peripherals. Here’s a simple way to avoid the hassle, a freeware program called DriverMax. It finds and exports all of the drivers on your PC to a nominated folder or compressed Zip file, so there’s no need to waste time hunting down discs and downloads. When you have reinstalled Windows simply run DriverMax, import your saved drivers and you’ll be up and running again in no time flat. The program comes as a 30-day trial but you can apply for a free registration code and it’s your to keep. (more…)

Part I: Why does my Windows sound sometimes “glitch?”

Windows is a rich and complex OS designed for multi-tasking users whose tasks must share access to scarce system hardware and resources. Unfortunately, despite multiple decades of incredible advances in PC and CPU architectures, there are non-trivial, complex interactions between applications, processes, and devices in even the most advanced personal computers that make a supposedly “easy” task — like playing back music without occasional glitches — much more difficult than it may seem at first glance.

Another way of thinking about this: it seems odd that a modern >$2000 PC may sometimes have trouble seamlessly playing back music when $20 CD players can effortlessly playback music without glitches.

So why do many $2000 PCs occasionally glitch while playing back music? The quick answer is this: Windows is not a single-function device like a CD player.

A slightly longer answer goes like this: even an average Windows machine today is commonly used simultaneously as a media player, word
