Windows 7: Ok Cya
I spent this weekend installing and optimizing the publicly available Release Candidate of Windows 7. I downloaded and burned the ISO file last April but it was only now I had the time to give it a try. I used the extra 80gig I had from an old PC. I slept late last Friday to give it my first try. The installation did not go very well. There were times the system was hanging and I had to press the reset button on a plenty of occasions. Maybe it was a sign that I had to go to sleep. It was 4AM.
Right after I woke up, I gave it another try and the installation was smoother this time. My only observation was that the system won't shut down and I had to force shut down by pressing the power button. Well, I did checked my system first if it was capable and it was. I had an Atom N270 PC. What I would like to prove is that Windows 7 was as good as the reviews and that it can cater to basic systems. It was Saturday night already.
This Sunday, I deleted and installed a new partition on my hard drive and the re-installed. The experience was much better this time and the shutdown issue seemed no more. However, as I was updating and installing other programs, my system was not shutting down again. I'm not sure really why but I guess I need to dig deeper. Well, it's almost 11PM and I have to work tomorrow so I brought Windows XP back on my PC. On a lighter side, I tried the Aero and looked around what the new OS had to offer.
Overall, I believe Windows 7 would be another great OS from Microsoft. I have never tried Vista yet on any system I have but, I think, this Vista upgrade (which is Windows 7) has potential to move the attention from Windows XP. I'll definitely watch out for the product release this holiday season.
UPDATE (07/09): WIndows 7 officially releases on October 22, 2009.
Old School Tech is Cool
I've always admired Apple on their style of innovation. With the newest iPod shuffle, I was left with my hands clapping. This is where old school technology meets new school gadgetry.
The small size and a big 4GB of space is already remarkable. But the one thing that I clapped about was the VoiceOver feature. Did you ever had a TalkAny PC program wherein you type the words and your PC speaks it out? Yup, the VoiceOver feature does the same thing. Of course the words you type are now song titles on the iPod Shuffle. But man, who would ever use that tech and make it a great selling feature?! Well, Apple is one of them. And to think we were all using the TalkAny program to say out silly words we all could laugh about. Hahaha.
Another hat's off to Apple on this one.
Harharhar - Apple OSX vs. Windows 7
