Windows 7 Ultimate, Postponed to 2011

I think most of you guys didn't know that the new OS from Microsoft is now in development. They named it as Windows 7 Codename "Vienna". Why they named it as Windows 7??? Is it because this is the 7th OS release from Microsoft??? Sound weird and funny...
I think this new OS is no more a secret since a number of people already test on this new OS and leaked out the information to public.



I think there will be a lot of screenshot related to Windows 7 if you search from Google, but is the screenshot true or false, don't ask me (since there are a lot of skinning and visual style third party software available, is not weird if you saw something different on your so called Windows 7). But we better wait for the final version ourself and test it out!
However, I found out a website which provide the screenshot I think can be trusted. Go take a look: Windows 7 Screenshot

Sadly, when I read on the forum today, Microsoft says that Windows 7 isn't headed for 2009 but 2011. Want to know more? Click here. I lazy to write out the content here.

What I wondering here is weather Windows 7 will be able to enhance a new features like Windows Vista or even cooler than that. And also the GUI design which I most curious. Well, we only to know about this once the final version release.

Buy or Not Buy Decision...

Recently, I 've been bugging with the buy or not buy decision. It's not easy to get rid of it. It keep on playing with my mind even when I fall asleep. Actually it's only a simple answer: buy or not to buy, but why it keep on bothering me somehow??? Maybe some questions that required me to consider make me headache. I rather say is not cheap for me, just worry that I might get regretted on the decision made.

Just hope that I'm able to make a smart decision on this... So Lloyd, please think carefully...

Changing OEM Branding Logo for Windows Vista Part 2



Did you ever wonder how famous Laptop/PC manufacturers such as Sony, Dell, Asus, HP, ACER and others put their logo into your computer?

If you notice the screenshot above, I already added my own Logo into my Windows Vista Welcome Center.
So here the simple guide:
  1. Go to "C:\Windows\System32\oobe" Folder. If your computer is DELL, you will see the file "DELL_BAR.png". If the file not exist, you can create your own banner.
  2. First, go to "C:\Windows\System32\oobe\INFO".
  3. Right Click on "oobe.xml" file to uncheck the "Read Only" properties(If any)
  4. Open "oobe.xml" using NOTEPAD as administrator and add/edit the path as below.

Take note that Brand.jpg is the file name that you create. It can be any name.

Enjoy!

Dearest Kanojo...

The situation started where the time kanojo told me that she not feeling well yesterday during the way to office. I though she's just not had enough sleep that maybe causes her to had such unwell feeling. After a while, we arrive office and she told me again that she not feeling well. I saw her face kinda suffer and pain and I started to worry about her. After discuss for around few minutes, I decided to sent her back home to get enough rest. Then she agreed and take leave immediately.

During the way back home, I drove at maximum speed to hope that she can lay on bed for rest but suddenly, she vomit a lot in the car. Fortunately my car got kept some spare plastic bag for emergency purpose. I started to worry much and don't know what to do. I'm not sure is she's getting food poisoning because we're eating the same meal yesterday dinner.

Finally we reach home and she told me that she feeling much more better after vomit. Haaa, feeling relief now but not longer after the word, she started to vomit again. OMG! I suggest Kanojo to consult doctor but she say if tomorrow still the same only go for clinic. Then I agreed, accompany her awhile then I left back to office to continue my job.

Around 11am, Kanojo SMS me that she vomit again after I left and 2.39pm, she told me that she get food poisoning. I called Kanojo and her voice sound weak. I very worried that time and decided to skip the concall agenda which is suppose to held on 8pm. I just cant wait anymore until 8pm because she might need me to stay beside her.

Around 4.38pm, she called me with weak and pain voice hoping me to get back home immediately. However, I was doing some task that time which about to finish and without hesitate, straight away I pack my bag and rush back to see her. She laying on the bed without energy left and I advise kanojo to consult doctor for medical. She agreed to look for doctor and we apart after kanojo finish her Milo which manage to gain back some energy.

Damn Pasar Malam!!! Along the street was damn crowded and jammed. We unable to find parking in the situation like this so I straight away sent her back hometown. At least her family can look after her while I'm working. I also feel more relief if Kanojo stay with her family. We sent her to clinic, getting the medicine and back home. Looking at her I feel sad and pain. Raining make me more sad at that moment. Once she finish her cereal drink, she went back to bed for rest. After accompany her for minutes, is time for me to go back KL.

Not much I can do now. Hope kanojo can recover as soon as possible and I will always praying for her. She will be fine soon and we can continue to shopping again. I know I'm not a good kareshi however I will do my best to protect her away from harm.

Once she recover, the first thing I need to do is to bring kanojo to buy shoe. Thus, please get well soon.

Windows Vista SuperFetch Technology


Well, another technology information to share but this time is not a tutorial yet is a disadvantage of using Windows Vista OS.

Surely everyone notice that Windows Vista has improve a lot and impress users with the cool aero GUI (compare to Windows XP), Flip 3D, Thumbnail View and Sidebar Gadget and etc... But do you know that Windows Vista is actually a Blood Sucker or should I say "Memory Sucker" for more accurate term.

Indeed, Windows Vista has implemented a new services called SuperFetch which is a new memory management tool designed to allow your frequently used programs additional memory by making better use of your systems random access memory (RAM). Hmmm, the definition sounds great ya. In fact, you could get Windows XP away with 1GB of memory, with 2GB making it run much smoother. To get the same smooth experience from Windows Vista, you really need to double the memory to 4GB!!!

Article can be found on this link: How SuperFetch Works

Thus, think twice before you plan to upgrade your desktop/Laptop to Windows Vista.
If you think that you have enough resources to upgrade your RAM to 4GB, please ignore this info. Else you will be suffer...

If you think that you really love Windows Vista GUI and other cool functions as mentioned above, maybe... you are recommended to install Vista Transformation Pack 8.0.1 which is a package that change your Windows XP GUI into Windows Vista like GUI. Advisable to read the Term and Condition before you transform your Windows XP! God Bless You.
