WHEN WINDOWS VISTA RAPED ME!
When I was a toddler (kid), I never liked COMPUTERS. To me it was a second IDIOT BOX after TELEVISION On the other hand I always found INTERNET almost weird. I was very reluctant in accepting COMPUTERS n INTERNET in my life. How ever "The D day" of my life came and I bought my first computer in the year 2004 and came along with it WINDOWS XP. Undoubtedly WINDOWS XP indeed is very very USER-FRIENDLY. Being scrupulous (honest), I do owe lot many things to WINDOWS XP and hence MICROSOFT and hence BILL GATES. Forthrightly(honestly) speaking I never like treating BILL GATES AND MICROSOFT LIKE A DIRT. After all They gave me vision to see and venerate (respect) the technology.I started off my journey of discovering COMPUTERS FROM Windows XP. I never worked neither on WINDOWS 98 nor on WINDOWS 2000. I came to know about WINDOWS VISTA almost 2 years back. At that time name of WINDOWS VISTA was WINDOWS LONGHORN. I got thrilled. I even postponed my second PC by one year just to make my hardware compatible with WINDOWS VISTA.
I had very very high expectations from WINDOWS VISTA. But all my dreams dashed to ground and when I used VISTA FOR THE FIRST TIME almost one month back.
I AM USING WINDOWS VISTA ULTIMATE -64 BIT WORTH 16700/-
Here are the reasons why you should not use WINDOWS VISTA : ( THE PROBLEMS WHICH I FACED MAY BE EITHER DUE TO VISTA or due to the fact that I am using a 64 bit OS)
1. BULKY & POOR GRAPHICS. ( FOR A PERSON LIKE ME WHO HAS SEEN MANDRIVA AND MAC OS X, VISTA IS NOW WHERE IN COMPARISON)
2. VERY SLOW.
3. FIREFOX (WORLDS BEST BROWSER) FAILED TO INSTALL ADOBE FLASH PLAYER MAKING INTERNET SURFING A NIGHTMARE.
4. VLC PLAYER RESPONDED POORLY (WORLD'S BEST MEDIA PLAYER)
5. VIRTUAL DRIVE SOFTWARES LIKE DAEMON TOOLS, MAGIC ISO, POWER ISO never really got installed. Only after making me wait for weeks ULTRA ISO GOT INSTALLED.
6. VHDL SOFTWARE MODEL-SIM(ELECTRONCIS SOFTWARE) GOT INSTALLED BUT WHEN IT COMES TO SIMULATION IT CLOSES DOWN AUTOMATICALLY.
7. HIGH RAM REQUIREMENT (I AM USING 1 GB RAM STILL NOT SATISFIED)
8. EXPLORING THE OS IS VERY TOUGH.
9. WHEN EVER I TRY TO WORK ON COMMAND LINE MY COMP REBOOTS (I DON'T KNOW WHY)
10. MYSQL GOT INSTALLED BUT AFTER FEW DAYS IT NEVER WORKED AGAIN (GOD PLEASE SAVE MY SOUL)
11. MOST IMPORTANTLY EVERY THING IS SAME AS WINDOWS XP WITH ONLY DIFFERENCE THAT IT IS PRESENTED IN MORE GRAPHICAL AND BULKY MANNER. ITS LIKE OLD WINE IN A NEW GLASS.
12. START MENU IS HORRIBLE AND SO AS INTERNET EXPLORER.
FINAL DECREE (VERDICT): USE WINDOWS VISTA IF AND ONLY IF YOU HAVE 1 GB RAM (I RECOMMEND 2 GB HOWEVER). VISTA AND XP ARE ALMOST SAME WITH ONLY DIFFERENCE THAT BUGS IN VISTA ARE MORE (VISTA SOLEMNLY (EARNESTLY) NEED A RELEASE OF ITS FIRST SERVICE PACT). UNFORTUNATELY WINDOWS VISTA HAS USED THE OLD CLASSES OF WINDOWS XP AND HAS JUST ADDED FEW MORE EXTENDED SUB-CLASSES. (THOSE WHO ARE FAMILIAR WITH OOPS [ OBJECT ORIENTED PROGRAMMING]LANGUAGES LIKE JAVA & C++ WOULD UNDERSTAND THIS TECHNICAL JARGON)

At Last WINDOWS VISTA is LAUNCHED
After nearly six years in development, Windows Vista has finally been released to the masses. New PCs will ship with it, those with upgrade vouchers will be cautiously cashing them in and the rest may be left wondering just what, if anything, they’re missing out on.
This latest version of Windows promises much: improved reliability and security, a redesigned user interface and the ability to use new hardware technologies.
As with Windows XP,
This may seem like a confusingly large number of options compared to the now familiar Home and Professional editions of XP, but let’s not forget Media Center Edition and Tablet PC Edition both of which contained special features now folded into the mainstream versions of Windows Vista.
So for most of us there are no more versions of Vista than there are XP, but there is more choice at retail where Media Center and Tablet PC Editions have not previously been available to buy without a PC.
In fact, this would be true were it not for that fact that all versions of Windows Vista except Starter Edition come in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions. If you buy the full, retail product you’ll get both versions in the box and you’ll have to pick which one you want to install.
vista home basic - 8450/-
vista home premium - 10050/-
vista business - 12500/-
vista ultimate - 16700/-

Microsoft launches 3-D maps for Web search
SEATTLE (Reuters) - Microsoft Corp.
Microsoft Virtual Earth 3D compiles photo images to generate photo-realistic 3-D models of buildings and landscape in cities including Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston, Philadelphia, Seattle and Dallas.
Trailing Google in the market for Internet search, Microsoft aims to drive traffic to its search services with a slew of features like local search, or maps."Local search is one of the fastest-growing categories online today, and adding features like 3-D will only help move the category further ahead and help Windows Live attract more customers and advertisers," said Steve Berkowitz, Microsoft's senior vice president in a statement.
Microsoft said it will offer advertisers the ability to display ads within the maps with virtual billboards above buildings or on the side of roads. The company also said it expects developers to pay fees to use the maps.
The company said its software is superior to Google Earth, a competing 3-D map technology, because Virtual Earth 3D displays realistic images of buildings instead of gray boxes. Microsoft's maps can also be accessed through a Web browser and does not require a separate application.

Stever Ballmer, Highest Paid Prostitute ( XXX Porn Video)
Every day mails creep into my INBOX, asking why do I hate MICROSOFT?
Yes Why do I hate MICROSOFT?
Well this is a million dollar question;
Even I didn't know the reason until I saw this video…..
Frankly speaking neither I hate Windows nor do I hate Mr. Bill Gates…
It was through Windows XP that I started my journey of discovering computers….
I do owe lot many things to Windows…
No doubt Windows is very user friendly but there are some issues with it… (I will discuss it later)…
But still Windows is Windows…
Any Tom-Dick-Harry can become GEEK using windows…
All hats off to Windows for the simplicity it offers to its users….
Coming to Bill Gates…
To be very honest Bill Gates is becoming hard core philanthropist….
In fact I just heard that Bill Gates have decided to donate $23 million to fight Aids in India….
Courtesy: Melinda Gates…
It's amazing how lady luck can change someone's life…
She's an absolute sweet heart…. (know more about her )
I respect that lady from bottom of my heart…
Melinda and Bill are doing a wonderful cause for humanity…. (Know more)
Although I don't have any issues with Windows (Operating System) and Bill Gates but I do hate Microsoft for three reasons….
- Product
- Policy
- Promotion
All though products of Microsoft are more of COPY-PASTE affair but still its acceptable considering the fact that they are so user-friendly….
The Problem with Microsoft is that it takes ages to deliver its products…
Windows XP came in 2002 and Microsoft claims to deliver Vista by January 2007… (Lets see)
Full fledged version of Office 2007 is still in pipeline…
Again it took Microsoft 4 years to prepare new version of OFFICE after Office 2003….
Why Microsoft takes so much of time?
Actually Microsoft wastes most of its time, energy and money in formulating policies and promotion techniques…
Bill Gates is in more into Programming….
He doesn't dictate the terms for Management Strategies…
The culprit is STEVE BALLMER…
Who is STEVE BALLMER?
In 1973, he graduated from school with a grade point average of 4.0 and was the valedictorian of his class. He scored a perfect 800 on the math SAT and competed in math tournaments. Ballmer won a scholarship to Harvard College. During his freshman year he developed a close friendship with his dorm mate, Bill Gates, a friendship that continued even after Gates dropped out of Harvard to start his own software company…
After graduation, Ballmer worked for two years at Procter & Gamble as an assistant product manager before joining Stanford Graduate School of Business to get a Master of Business Administration degree. He dropped out of Stanford a year later when Gates persuaded him to work at Microsoft. Ballmer became Microsoft's 24th employee on June 11, 1980, the first business manager hired by Gates…. (Know more about Steve Ballmer)
The Video which I gonna show you now speaks volumes for the nasty policies and promotion techniques which Microsoft is famous for.....
Jaise ek kharab machali sara talabh kharab kar deti hai….
Vaise hi Steve Ballmer is maligning MICROSOFT….
If Bill Gates is PIRATE then Steve Ballmer is Prostitute in fact highest paid Prostitute…
Watch the Video and decide it yourself…

Microsoft's Answer to Apple's iPOD
It was installation party in my college yesterday and it was a blast. I got so tired that I came home and just went to sleep. After many years I slept so long. When I woke up in the morning I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw my inbox. Yes finally MICROSOFT IS ALL SET TO ROCK THIS CHRISTMAS WITH A MP3 PLAYER NAMED ZUNE MUCH SIMILAR TO APPLE'S IPOD. I do have high expectations from this device. Hope it won't disappoint me, anyways keeping my fingers crossed.
By the way these are some of its features:
It is predicted that the initial Zune device will be a handheld media player similar to the 5th generation hard drive based "video" iPods. The device being displayed currently is built by Toshiba, and appears to be a slightly modified version of the Toshiba Gigabeat S with a re-arranged controller layout[5]. The unit sports a 3-3.5" LCD display, slightly larger than the iPod's, and has a built-in FM tuner which works with American, European, and Japanese frequencies. The device allegedly runs Windows Mobile on a 400MHz DSP processor[6] (as does the Gigabeat S[7]), and contains a 1.8 inch 30GB hard drive.[8] The device will reportedly be available in Fall 2006 at select retailers for $299.[9]
Wanna know more about it, just go here:
