Windows 7 Review
I've got 2 PCs running Windows seven. They are very different computers in that one is sort of five years old and one is totally cutting edge with all the latest graphics cards, for example.
The new Windows seven Aero theme is pretty and better organized and intuitive than Windows Vista Aero. An example mouse gesture that I use is to wiggle the mouse backwards and forth like you are scratching something off a list. This immediately clears the desktop by hiding all the open windows. The new interface also permits you to click the thumbnails of the programs that are running. It's a bit Apple OSX like, except not so animated and annoying in my humble opinion.
I am still nervous about compatibility issues, but even the few games I've run have been no problem for Windows seven. Even the latest Fallout three ran flawlessly. Given that a Windows seven will be readily downloadable in the future and given that the release surpasses that of the release exceeds that of Vista ask who will trouble to ask who will trouble to upgrade to Vista SP2?
In addition to frame rate rises in games, the Net connection scores just about ten percent higher throughput. On our 1GB connections, the difference is even more noticeable. Even if you do not have machine to test drive Microsoft Windows seven on, you can use Vmware's free desktop virtualization software to set up and start exploring.
It's coming reasonably shortly. It should be good and if you work in a corporate IT dept, you will have to support it. To set up Windows seven on Vmware, just tell vmware that you will be using Vista.
Installation is a breeze. The result is that there's going on under the hood that has changed but that you won't see until you're in a support situation and relealize that some of your tried and tested debugging rituals no longer work.
By the time Windows Vista SP2 Beta is stable and out the door, you'll be on the heels of Microsoft's Windows 7 release date.
If you have applications that have to be tested on Windows 7, the time to start that is at the moment. Developers should have their beta copy very shortly.
Amazon.com is taking on Windows 7 Pre Orders which will be delivered as soon as Windows 7 becomes available to the public

Nokia 5800 Xpressmusic长期观察评测
按照: billyben | 07/06/2009 | 移动电话网络上几乎各大论坛和网站的评论员都写过他们关于使用5800的经验了。不过根据REX的总结，要么是短期的专业评论，要么长期使用的评论都来自网友，客观程度和专业程度欠缺。所以决定写这么一篇文章。文章中的观点都是基于过去3个月每天使用5800得来的经验和观点，仅代表REX的个人观点。 nbokia 5800一般的特性就不说了，您有兴趣可以看看NOKIA小站关于5800的评测或者是技术资料。本文主要说说5800与众不同的地方。 我特别喜欢NOKIA 5800的地方（排名不分先后） * 大小正好合适-虽然平时在网络上看到的5800照片就好像这是一部非常宽大的上网手机，实际上在日常使用中并不是这样的。就像其他的S60手机一样，5800的大小正合适，很容易的就可以放进口袋。文中后面会有5800和其他机型的比较图片。
