Installando Windows 64-bit Vista assista il pacchetto 1 da un'immagine dei 32 bit di Vista SP1 è un movimento che è diventato possibile con l'ultima fase nello sviluppo di ultimo cliente di Windows. Con una gamma di aumenti, Vista SP1 viene alla tabella con i miglioramenti di schieramento e di messa a punto. Mentre gli utilizzatori finali saranno avuti effetto su soltanto superficiale dai cambiamenti, i produttori di macchinari professionali ed originali ESSO potranno godere i benefici aggiunti del pacchetto di servizio.

SP1 è grande per ESSO professionisti perché renderà la vostra vita più facile intorno a schieramento ed all'amministrazione della tecnologia. Potrete effettuare una singola immagine di WinPE perché potete installare le versioni 64-bit di Vista da un OS dei 32 bit,„ Deeps De Silva spiegato, responsabile di vendita dei pubblici, Microsoft Australia.

Non c'è dubbio che le architetture 64-bit siano il futuro, fino allo sviluppo parallelo dei processor e dei sistemi operativi va. Ma quando scende a Windows, la versione dei 32 bit della piattaforma sopravvivrà non solo con Windows Vista, ma anche con Windows 7. A questo punto a tempo, fra i particolari limitati resi disponibili da Microsoft circa la prossima ripetizione di Windows, per seguire Vista, l'unica cosa sicura è che Windows 7 verrà nel bit entrambi i 32 e nei sapori 64-bit.

Secondo le valutazioni dall'azienda di Redmond, per la metà del 2008, la base di installazione del sistema operativo di Windows sorpasserebbe le 1 miliardo pietre universalmente. Ma la vasta maggioranza di quelle copie di Windows ancora sarà 32 bit, Windows in gran parte giusto XP e Windows Vista. (più…)

The basic idea: What if I could search my own computer as easily as I can search the web? Then I could find an email or a Word document, even a PDF document, or a previously-viewed web page, or all of those on my own computer in an instant, just by entering a few words of text that I think might be in the document or in its name.

Enter Google Desktop (GD). I discovered this a year or two ago, when I was running Windows XP, and thought it was slicker than sliced bread. Well, almost, and certainly better than anything that Microsoft offered. It didn’t work exactly right - sometimes I would click on a result and nothing would come up - but at least it did seem to find everything.

Except WordPerfect documents. I use WordPerfect and certainly prefer it to Microsoft Word, but the documents apparently have a unique format and are not correctly indexed by GD or by Microsoft’s Vista indexing software. No surprise that Microsoft would deliberately omit WordPerfect, because they have been trying to bury it with Word for years (with obvious success),…

My business requires me to safeguard the security of certain files. For years I have used Encrypted Magic Folders (EMF) from PC-Magic to encrypt those files, and to hide them from the view of an interloper. I loved it, because files were always encrypted on disk and yet were fully accessible to applications. However, when I upgraded to Vista 64, the new EMF crashed my system so completely that it was unbootable even in safe mode. I tried it twice, recovered twice with some difficulty, and gave up on EMF.

In the meantime I had heard about TrueCrypt, an open-source disk encryption package for Windows and Linux. It’s free! I must admit that after I downloaded it, I needed some time to get my mind around it.

Here are the basics:

• Using the TrueCrypt application you create a large “container” file on your system, larger than you will need to hold your encrypted files. It can be on any read/write disk, even a memory stick, and is initially filled with random data.
• The container file can be copied, moved, deleted, or renamed just like any other file. It’s not fragile.

This weekend, I decided to “evaluate” all my PC’s on my home network. My main Desktop PC wasn’t performing like I wanted it to and was running a combination of new and old hardware. I had a Test / Work PC running a combination of new and old hardware as well. My Test / Work PC was also running x64 which was something I wanted to move to on my main Desktop PC for quite some time now (I like being on the “bleeding edge”). So I decided to take the best parts of my main Desktop PC and my Test / Work PC and combine them together to create the “Ultimate” Desktop PC for myself. I was pretty satisfied with the results.

Here are the specs of what I ended up with:

• Processor - AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core 4600
• Motherboard - ASUS M2N32-SLI Deluxe
• Graphics - NVIDIA GeForce 8600 GTS
• Memory - 4GB
• Keyboard / Mouse - Microsoft Wireless Laser Desktop 6000
• Monitor - Dual 24-inch Dell UltraSharp 2407 Flat Panel Displays
• Storage: 160GB Maxtor Harddrive, 160GB Western Digital Harddrive, 320 Western Digital Harddrive

I am also now officially running Windows Vista Ultimate x64
