Windows 7 is Amazing

Yesterday, I installed the beta version of Windows 7 on my computer. Of course, The 2.44 GB download was a pain on my 256 kbps connection. But it is worth downloading. Windows 7 looks cool. And it seems to be working faster. The inbuilt Media Center is great. Also a lot of useful features are added in this OS. I was using the XP version so far. I have never used Windows Vista or even seen it running anywhere. And I heard it really sucks.


Microsoft will let people download this beta until 24th of this month. This beta version will expire in August.

Here are some tips for you:

Remove the "send feedback" link from title bar

Open regedit (Click Start, type regedit in the search field and press enter). Now Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop
Change the DWORD value FeedbackToolEnabled to 0.
Next time you log on the link will be gone.
But do remember to give them feedback if you find anything not working properly.

Antivirus

The AVG free antivirus is compatible with Windows 7 and I am continuing to use it. You can also use Norton, Kaspersky. For a list of compatible antivirus softwares look here.

Compatibility Issues

Not that every software is compatible with Windows 7. If you cannot install a software normally, you may have to use the compatibility options. For example, Nokia PC Suite.
Update: Windows 7 beta availability is extended to Feb. 12

Comet Lulin Comes Closer

Image
Comet Lulin will be on its closest approach (.41 AU) to earth on 24th February. It will not be much bright though (Max. magnitude 4.0 - 5.0). Still on a dark sky you may be able to spot it as a white splotch against the black sky. Look for it in the constellation Leo [ skymap ]. It will lie only a few degrees from saturn. The comet actually looks green through powerful telescopes. This is because, its gassy atmosphere, of the size of Jupiter, contains cyanogen(CN) and diatomic carbon(C 2 ), both glow green in sunlight.

Into the World of Computer Gaming

Image
I had a Desktop PC with Gigabyte G31M-S2L motherboard, Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 2GB RAM for a long time. But, it didn't have any dedicated graphics card. Most computer games wouldn't work on my PC. Recently, I bought a descent mid-range graphics card (AMD Raedon 6670 1 GB DDR5) for Rs. 5400. Now, I can play almost all the latest games in High Resolution.
