Windows 7

Ok so yesturday I finally got round to upgrading my pc from vista to windows 7 and I have to say god damn its good. Let me elaborate, I didn't like the aero feature of vista as it slowed my pc down quite considerably, even though I run an 8800 GT with 4 Gb of ram but in Windows 7 I haven't noticed any slow down at all I can't believe it. Also the other thing that I didn't like about vista was the UAC couldn't stand it so much I had to turn it off. However in Windows 7 the UAC with its four diffe… Continue

Ubuntu 9.10... yeah.

I've been a long time Ubuntu and Linux user. Don't get me wrong, I try to use as many different operating systems as often as I can, but primarily on my machines, I've been using Ubuntu or some variant of Ubuntu for around 4 years now. People ask me, why use Linux? I tell them, it's fun. To me, using Linux is somewhat of an ongoing never ending project to make your computer work best. And whats different of that rather than in Windows or Mac is that on Linux the job is on your shoulders to do s… Continue

If You're Thinking of Staying on Windows Vista, Read This!

I was one of those people who had said "why upgrade"? I liked Windows Vista, it simply worked for me. There were people said that I obviously didn't do anything with my computer. Well that's not true. I did do a lot with Windows Vista, and I have to say it worked. There were occasionally a few programs that would simply not install with Windows Vista. For example TeamViewer worked fine with Windows XP, but not Vista. Yesterday, I got Windows 7 Ultimate 64 bit. I performed a clean install, and g… Continue

How to Turn off UAC in Windows Vista - The Easy Way

UAC was introduced in Windows Vista, and has proven to be a bit of an annoyance to some users. Prompting many to turn the feature off, which is very easy to do. Though I personally don’t recommend it. The best way would be to click on the Start orb, click the User picture, this takes you to user accounts, click turn UAC on or off, you will be prompted if UAC is turned on. Click continue, and deselect, click ok, and you will be asked to restart now, or later. When you turn off… Continue
