Since this is the week Windows 7 is getting released and I’m hosting a Windows 7 Party, I thought it would be great to share some of my favorite new features in Windows 7 with my readers.
The Windows 7 Sidebar in the past has been more or less static. In Windows XP, you were given [...]

Windows Update in Windows 7. Do you remember XP Windows Update? You always had to go through Internet Explorer [...]
I was just searching around and I stumbled upon what seemed to be a ghost. I wrote about Save The Developers back in November of 2008. It seems that their website is back up. It looks significantly different, the super tiny javascript drop down is gone too.
The site seems to be trying hard to promote [...]
