Windows Vista: Bug Free?

As far as preference for the latest operating system in the market today, a lot of people are caught in a bind on whether to install the new Windows Vista or stick it out with the patched Windows XP that has been around for some years now. Surely, many computer owners today want to check out the Vista series but apparently they are wary of having to deal with the problems that have cropped up from some existing users.

One thing you will note with the Window Vista OS is that not too many have gotten the hang of how to handle the problems such as improper installation and reverting to their old OS. Vista is not the same as previous operating systems that have been in the market. There are some other tweaks to make and looking for them online is like looking for a needle in a haystack.

I say this because people in forums are likewise looking for answers. Most of the things we read there are similar in nature…questions waiting to be answered. We see some suggestions but none of them are promising wanted results. In short, practically all Vista users are searching in the dark

Windows 7 to add native support for Virtual Hard Disks

Out of what little we know of the next version of Windows, this feature might just be the most interesting yet. A team at Microsoft is hiring developers to work on adding native support in Windows 7 for Virtual Hard Disks (VHD) - Microsoft’s semi-proprietary specification for single-file virtual machine hard disks. Their job posting reads,

Do you want to join the team that is bringing virtualization into the mainstream? In Windows 7, our team will be responsible for creating, mounting, performing I/O on, and dismounting VHDs (virtual hard disks) natively. Imagine being able to mount a VHD on any Windows machine, do some offline servicing and then boot from that same VHD. Or perhaps, taking an existing VHD you currently use within Virtual Server and boost performance by booting natively from it.

Do you want to have the opportunity to work on a great Core OS team at the heart of Windows? If you have big ideas and want to implement them, if you love writing code, if you love delving into operating system internals, if you want to work on high visibility projects with direct consumer and customer impact and still work

Cheap Computers Make Cheap Results

The beauty about computers today is that you can have the luxury of choosing from various specifications that offer varying prices. For the people who have little knowledge on what these specs are for, they would end up buying the lower priced computers. Some are encouraged to buy the higher ones after careful explanation of differences but unless they are techies, chances are they will be fine with the usual Celeron or AMD chips with the right amount of storage and speed requirements.

Some people buy computers to help them in their various needs. This includes documents and spreadsheet preparations. But while others have other various intents on using a computer, it all boils down to knowing what type of specifications you would need as far as getting the ideal computer for you is concerned.

You will notice that these computer geeks would know which hardware to use. Higher end graphic cards and processors are normally advised to them beforehand. While they would want them, sometimes affordability stands in the way. With that in mind they look for alternatives and this includes trading some specs with compromised value which can eventually be replaced in the future once their budget allows

Download Vista Compatibility and Reliability Update Available

In the fall of 2007, the Redmond company issued two Vista compatibility, performance and reliability update packs that were essentially bits of the first service pack, but offered to Vista RTM users almost half a year ahead of SP1 via Windows Update. Following the availability of SP1, Microsoft informed that there are users who cannot implement the service pack due to a variety of issues, but mainly incompatibility problems. For them, the KB938979 and KB938194 update packages were reissued. Users of Windows Vista SP1 need neither of the packs.

According to Microsoft, KB938194 will resolve the following problems:

"The screen may go blank when you try to upgrade the video driver.
• The computer stops responding, and you receive a "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered" error message.
• The computer stops responding or restarts unexpectedly when you play video games or perform desktop operations.
• The Diagnostic Policy Service (DPS) stops responding when the computer is under heavy load or when very little memory is available. This problem prevents diagnostics from working.
• The screen goes blank after an external display device that is connected to the computer is turned off.
• There are...
