This reminds of my bitching every time I need to restart Windows Vista on my gaming desktop, and think ‘What part of _only download but let me chose when to install the updates_ don’t you understand when I see that exclamation mark on the shutdown button.

I don’t particularly follow the mobile phone market unless they are made of Lego blocks, but yesterday I followed the releases over at MWC. Mainly to see what Windows 6.5 would look like and in the hope of more information around the Palm Pre.
For once I must admit that the Redmonders finally got something right [...]

Much has been said about the 7 different editions Windows 7 will be released in. As usual this was a typical example of bloggers complaining just to complain.

Who wants $250,000?  I sure do!  Off the top of my head, I can name more things than I can count that I can do with that much money.  This amount – £172,000 – is actually well within your reach IF you know the person behind the Conficker worm.  This worm started circulating in October [...]

Joel Spolsky writes about the usability aspect of Windows Vista’s having at least nine ways of shutting down. He argues that giving users more choices is more restrictive than liberating, especially since most users won’t know the difference among these, anyway.

Every time you want to leave your computer, you have to choose between nine, count [...]

Chris argues over at restiffbard.com that the fundamental difference between Windows and Mac users lies not so much in the user interface in general, but only certain specific characteristics of the UI. In particular, it’s all about the “maximize” button and how it affects the user’s workflow. In Windows, the big rectangular box would maximize [...]

A guy named Matan Gillon has reported that he has successfully managed to boot up Windows 95 on his PSP by porting an open-source emulator called x86 to the portable system.
According to him, Windows 95 takes about 10 minutes to boot up but afterwards it’s pretty usable and you can even run some applications on [...]

I’m buying my new laptop today, but unfortunately it comes with XP Home, so, I want to format it and install the Pro version, has anyone ever done this and is there any problem in doing so?
I don’t know what CDs come with it or if the drivers are compiled with the OS one but [...]

The test PC equipped with Windows XP Professional Service Pack 1 was an average of 0.5% faster than the same hardware with Service Pack 2 installed. The percentage difference between faster and slower is [...]
