Windows Seven

In the wake of Windows Seven's official launch in the United States, I tried to install an evaluation copy of the operating system. Much to my surprise, it doesn't slow down in my current hardware configuration. Windows XP Pro runs fairly well in my system which I used to test Windows Seven.

The operating system itself is much better than its predecessor. It runs on my system with only 700 mb of memory consumption and has 35 running processes. It feels like I am running my Windows XP but with much better interface. I haven't tested any software installation with Windows Seven and I expect it to outperform its predecessor - Windows XP and Windows Vista. If I could test Windows Seven any further, I will post a follow up on my progress.

I want to congratulate Microsoft for a fine job in Windows Seven. So far they show they can offer better than what was expected.

Unluckily, I have yet to find a driver for my motherboard.

System Configuration:
Intel Core 2 Duo 1.8Ghz
3Gb Kingston Memory
250 Gb Western Digital hard drive
Sony DVD Multi-Recorder
Onboard LAN, Video, and Sound

Norton Removal Tool

If you have been using Norton Anti-virus and have ran out of trial days, you may well use this tiny tool to remove everything Norton has placed within your system. Norton made it a habit of placing various files and registry entries in your system that removing it may caused us a major headache. Even after an uninstall, those files Norton created are still left in your system. Since my last test, this tool performed very well that I was able to remove a Norton product after its trial days has passed.
