Today I received the first donation for my Skype Gadget :D
It is not a large sum but I am impressed.
After introducing the multi touch interface on Surface it is not surprising that Microsoft will use it also on the new Windows.
Corporate VP Julie Larson-Green demonstrated the multitouch technology, painting with several fingers at the same time to show how it can process not just touch, but multiple simultaneous input. She said: “It’s much faster to do certain tasks than using a mouse”.
More surprising is the fact that the new interface was presented on a Dell Laptop so, probably, it is available on market. This feature [the multi touch screen] will probably be one of the requirements of a “Windows 7 Ready” PC.
Remains to be seen how practical will be this new input method and if the new Windows will be just a face lift for Vista or a revolutionary product.
I’ve read on a web site that the core of the new OS will be Vista-based.
Until any updates there is only one official movie with the new interface:
Also, there is a MSDN blog about the new Operating System: Engieneering Windows 7.
Some people heard that Windows Vista is bad, is not good, is resource consuming, etc and they don’t even want to try it.
Microsoft made an experiment: they asked people to write their opinion about Windows Vista, then asked them the opinion about “the new Windows” named Mojave (actually it was Vista with another name) and all of them were impressed ;)
Look what happened when they were told that Mojave is actually Windows Vista: http://www.mojaveexperiment.com/
Some people want small/fancy looking phones, others want powerful phones, while others want both. I belong to the second category - I want a powerful phone and I don’t really care about the aspect. If you want a fancy looking or small phone, Toshiba G900 is not for you!
After almost two months of research I finally decided to buy a G900. I needed a new mobile phone but I also wanted some big screen in order to be able to navigate on the Internet without carrying the laptop with me. So what I was searching was:
- Big screen
- Wireless network card
- QWERTY keyboard
- Touch screen
- GSM support
Toshiba Portege G900 has all this and even more but with some costs.
After 1 week of Windows Xp I decided to get back to Vista. Windows Xp is a bit faster but is misses some important features :(
Also I have found out that using the hibernate option, Windows Vista starts in ~ 20 seconds and all the applications are up and running - the huge startup time was because of some applications that automatically start with Windows.
One tweak for improving overall speed of Windows Vista is to disable the Desktop Manager and Themes services. You loose that eye-candy interface but Windows is faster.
So, the idea of this post is that now I am using Vista and, probably, I won’t change it anymore with another OS.
