    6.5 Build 91182 Beta (May 16, 2008)

    I tried vm ware a week ago, it doesnt support 64 bit OS yet it just will in t future and has t buttons for it now, i loaded a few debian xp and ubunto OS on it with no trouble, they are still a bit slow but will give you a peek at a diffrent OS it connected to t net with no problems at all but t slowness took all t fun out off it, it was like being on a comodore 64 again

  6. Comment - Top 10 Windows 7 Features #10: Homegroup networking

    1.0 (May 3, 2009 - 6:52 AM)

    sounds like windows 7 is shaping up nicley and it sounds quite user friendly and simple without taking away more of the comands that we like to keep our own pc to ourselves and do what we want with it,
    each successive windows has taken away the users rights to pick and choose what they would like to do a bit more, sure we want it secure and some users dont want to be bothered with ant of the technical stuff to make it that way, but theres also a lot of users that have there own ideas of what secure is and just want to implement there own idea of secure
    when is the free windows 7 coming out ?
    and the article was slighly wrong
    "I personally wrestled with this issue to no avail; at present, it's impossible for a business' laptop PC that uses a VPN to also be a member of a local Windows 3.11-style workgroup; it can be one or the other, but never both."
    impossible meens it cant be done but if you put 2 operating systems on 2 partitions you can switch between the 2 for where your at, if i was a programmer id say take the networking software and just double it so you can choose which 1 you woud like with a flick a button which would be a logical way to achieve this rather than a full OS, every system ive run for the last 5 years has had 2 OS's on with a 3rd partition or extra harddrive to put music pictures or anything else personal on so that if an OS fails or catches a virus that cant be cured im up and runing in 1 minute with no downtime to speak of, this redundacy meens i save all persdonal stuff without thinking about it and its also easier to virus clean an OS when it isn't in use

  7. Comment - Tests: Firefox 3.1 JavaScript outpaced by Safari 4, Google Chrome

    1.0 (Mar 18, 2009 - 5:29 AM)

    i think id still have to do my own test to find what im looking for
    i need a browser to load fast and have automatic refresh on so i can load faster than other ppl playing internet browser games, ff does it quite well but ill give safari a chance the same as i did with all the others, opera seemed ok but crashed out when you opened a few diffrent windows, with ff i can open 15 windows on automatic refresh every second with only a bit of slowdown to show for it opera and crome crashed when i got past 3 windows
    add ons do slow a browser down but some of them essential for saving the fingers from repetitve strain injury

    1)Now that windows 7 is nearly ready to go how much longer will microsoft be updating and servicing windows vista ? or is it going to be backbenched like windows xp and 98 before it.
    2)Is windows vista really a prize or a booby prize :( 1st prize is windows vista and 2nd prize is 2 windows vista :P
    To be 1st on the list for windows 7 would be a worthy prize if what im hearing about is will come to term
