Microsoft Windows 7 Features Preview

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

Although many say Microsoft Windows operating system is poor, it still the biggest player in Worldwide market. For example myself prefer MAC OS X Leopard, but it didn’t come as cheap as Windows price and also some hardware compatibility problem. At the end, I stick with Windows.

Actually not only me. Are you one of the Windows user here? I pick up the statistics from Google Analytics and found 71% Windows XP user, 27% Windows Vista user, and only 7% Macintosh user. From the results, we know most of the Windows user stick at Windows XP since it release on year 2002. Why? Are they waiting for better OS? Or they computer specs unable to support resources hungry Vista?

8 Biggest Differences between Linux and Windows

Wednesday, September 24th, 2008

Until today, still got friends ask me what is the differences between Linux and Windows? This is an interesting question. Some of you may already know the answer. But could you list them out?

I’m not Linux expert. I won’t give Linux course here. Just share some good points that I found on Internet. Might be more than 8 points here. I think I just list out the important ones.

  • Open source vs Close Source – The most significant difference is Linux is open source and Windows don’t. This mean you know what the program run, while Windows not allow that even if it store in “malicious” software to spy you.
  • GPL License vs Ms Licensing – In fact, Linux belongs to the GNU Public License that allow user to access or alter the kernel as long using back the name “Linux”.Also, you can download a ginsle copy and install as many machines as you like. For Windows, no such thing as “Free”. You pay for server license, client license, client access license, terminal server client license and many more. (more…)

The Fastest Way to Write Note

Monday, May 5th, 2008

I am sure most of us like to write down note in computer as temporary note to refer later. So, do you know what’s the fastest way to open a word processor? I myself always open windows notepad by using “notepad” command in RUN. Now, I got better way or should say fastest and easiest way to do it.

There are at least 2 methods on my hand, it depends on your needs.

1. Shortcut Key

Instead of type in “notepad” to RUN it everytime, the fastest way is to create shortcut key. To create shortcut key, simply right click on your desktop. Click New > Shortcut. Type in “notepad” in the item field then Finished. After the shortcut has been created, right click on it and go to properties. In Shortcut Key field, press your desire shortcut keys combination. As for me, I pressed “Ctrl + 1” then Apply.

Now, I can call out a notepad by pressing Control + 1 within a second. No typing, no mouse click, no hassle. Some time I just want to copy and paste some codes, phone number or website url for reference later.
