Windows 7 OS

Nice OS from Microsoft, good job from microsoft. I installed it in november because my previous OS windows vista Home Premium crashed and there is no way to recover the OS and it is a good way also because my downloading from the internet speeds up from 5 kb to 50 to 70 kb/s download speeds in the rapidshare and megauploads and other download sites.

Anyways, back to my review. At first i check my processor requirements and it high though

1 Ghz processor
1 gig memory (2 Gig memory for virtualization)
128 gig HD
20 gig HD space (lower if not Ultimate)

well thats the minimum though. you can check the windows 7 upgrade advisor to the microsoft website. www.microsoft.com

After i download the DVD iso and i burned it on ashampoo free burner and i find ashampoo stable in all windows OS system. Then i install it and it's easy install (that's what you called it for the windows vista, windows 7 that does not require user intervention but after installation of OS in the welcome screen you have to enter the settings.

Sum it up, i have no problems in installing windows 7 64 bit. the drivers though is the problem ( my newly bought webcam does not work, my tv tuner/FM does not work also).

My first impression of the OS is very elegant, batural, refreshing, new feeling, got me very excited and relaxing and of course more eye candy and more of apple like eye candy like aero theme.

My favorite on the new features are new interface like taskbar, big quicklaunch, new start icon, have a built in search on the program that previous windows does not have, new theme management features like the wallpaper that you can slideshow it automatically never needing to install a software new to the OS not from the previous windows OS, aero peek that previews application just by hovering it on the taskbar, new windows security settings (firewall, windows defender, etc are all in one settings new to this windows OS family), folder have built in music segragation sheme like there is music, artist, composer, time, file size, genre, etc.,

On new feature of windows like windows media streamin on network, faster startup and shutdown and hibernate.

Faster user switching, claiming to be power efficent in netbook and laptops and importantly efficient memory management a departure from memory hungry vista OS though i have experience vista OS for 2 years now and i say it's memory hungry and intensive memory requirements though i have no problems in memory because i have a 2 gig ddr2 memory and if i want i have a spare 512 mb memory came from upgrading to 2 gig last year.

My memory consumption is minimun 1 gig and max is 1.6 gig and free is 200mb my max memory is 2.5 gig. i think microsoft had done a good job in rewriting the OS for memory consumption. kudos to microsoft!

Graphics wise, has direct x 11 software support and i have no problems whatsoever in 3d graphics and in gaming. though im in 64 bit and the games are running in emulation mode of 32 bit because they are written for 32 bit OS and i got 64 bit.

The goodness of 64 bit OS in general is more memory that is read by the os, larger chunks of memory is bitten by the os to your memory if its has more memory like ex. more that 4 gig., reading 4 gig or more memory, benefit from memory intensive program and faster and efficient access to larger databases for server. i think if you have more memory let's say 4 gig your going to use 64 bit OS for sure because 32 bit bit OS does not read the full 4 gig memory and importantly the server must have more memory because of virtualization ( a process that emulate OS in a existing OS or within the os that being virtualize that can have a multiple OS or unlimited OS without having Many hard disk because OS installation require 1 hard disk for windows and seperate hard disk for linux, ubuntu, kubuntu and Mac.

Music wise, btw i got the ultimate and i have windows media player and i forgot the name of the player in windows media center edition and in this version of ultimate has this software installed. I like bob arci, sleep away music that put's me to sleep whenever i listen to it.

Installing updates is easy in this OS and after you installed the updates it will nag you for a second and you have a option to not nag you for a 10 minute, 1 hour, etc. and i think it is a great improvement, like windows xp that install update and forget to restart hehe...

Also windows media player has more appeal, i think its 12th version already.
The Internet explorer is 8 and in this version i have internet explore 64 bit aside from IE 32 bit.

Start up, sleep, hibernation, faster user switching is i love in this Os i got 1 minute in start up from the bios and in hibernation i got 20 secs tops like in my xp currently the same score maybe i cheat because i have a SATA II and a DDR2 ( set to 1T instead of 2T for faster response time) and i got a 16 inch LCD.

Internet wise, 7 detected my xyzel modem from pldt flawlessly. and i hve no problem in the internet except the speed is 512 kpbs im downloading at 60 to 70 kbps, but i think is good though that dial up 2kb up to 6kb downloading aw!....

Bottom line, i have a good experience from Windows 7, not a single problem except for driver signing that microsft implements should be scrape of allowing unsigned driver to be use. that's all folk. i hope we have the same experience from this Rock solid stable and faster than vista OS.

Can't wait to windows 8 to be released in 2011. and i'm gonna write another review for the os in the meantime i got more OS experimentation to do, ciao!
     
Pls comment. Thanks!

SandBox

Sandbox is a program to cheat online games to create a dual client or a safe internet web browser or a program you might suspect a virus or malware.

i tried it myself. good for 32 bit OS but not for 64 bit OS ex. windows xp 64 bit, vista 64 bit, windows 7 64 bit, because microsoft implements constant checks to the OS and any tampering to the OS cause it to crash and microsoft implements it throughly.

download at sandboxie.com. Enjoy!

VMware workstation 7

Tried it myself,this is the stuff when u need additional OS for your own use and you have a program not compatible in your PC so you must run virtualization and for server use also....

To get free license forever. Just follow this steps.

1. register for an account in vmware.com.
2. then select VMware workstation then download the program. its about 500 mb.
3. then install it. you would see the license window and enter the license you register.
4. you will see 30 days but if you change the time about 1 year backwards like dec. 27, 2009 today put it dec. 27, 2008. you will use it for 1 yr men  for free.

Cheers...

AMD vs. INTEL

For me AMD wins my Bid cause / reasons are Performance, Durability, affordability, evironmentalism ( Electricity compsumption and ROHS), not evil, customer first, have fair competition, always giving choices for the consumer for thier hard earned money's worth, does not capitalize, does not conspire, and most of all Stable processor that can Handle all Games and Applications.

AMD done a great job on advancing the processor technology and graphics industry also and providing cost efficient and energy effect like Green House effect or the Global warming crysis situation were in.

AMD provide us bang for the buck system solutions that allow you to built lower than competetior prices.

AMD is Innovator and make changes in the Processor revolution.

for me you can never go wrong on cheap CPU and products that deliver's and perform at the top of it's class.
