Over the last few months I’ve been reading everything I could get my hands on about Windows 7, in order to prepare myself for supporting yet ANOTHER version of the Windows Operating System. (Can you tell I’m just thrilled?)
Windows 7, according to all the “techie magazines” will start appearing pre-installed on new computers beginning October 22, 2009. Read this article for more information.
So with the news, I’ve decided that I need to jump on the band wagon and build a “test” machine using the Windows 7 Release Candidate (a “Release candidate ” is the version that is the last beta or test version that is released prior to a “final release” for the general public”. )
I’ll be posting updates as I work with the new version of Windows. But as always; we recommend that you do not run right out and buy the newest or latest & greatest version of anything.
I’m anticipating trouble with obtaining drivers for some of my existing equipment (which really isn’t all that old) and I’ll tell ya, I’m NOT looking forward to this; so be on the look out for “rants” in the upcoming weeks.
This came in from a newsgroup I belong to and I just had to share!
(Read this to yourself aloud – it’s a must!)
I f a packet hits a pocket on a socket on a port, and the bus is interrupted at a very last resort, and the access of the memory makes your floppy disk abort, then the socket packet pocket has an error to report.
If your cursor finds a menu item followed by a dash, and the double-clicking icon puts your window in the trash, and your data is corrupted cause the index doesn’t hash, then your situation’s hopeless and your system’s gonna crash!
If the label on the cable on the table at your house, says the network is connected to the button on your mouse, but your packets want to tunnel to another protocol, that’s repeatedly rejected by the printer down the hall……
And your screen is all distorted by the side effects of gauss, so your icons in the window are as wavy as a souse; then you may as well reboot and go out with a bang, ‘cuz sure as I’m a poet, the sucker’s gonna hang.
When the copy on your floppy’s getting sloppy in the disk, and the macro code instructions cause unwanted risk, then you’ll have to flash the BIOS and you’ll want to RAM your ROM, just quickly turn the darn thing off and run to tell your Mom!
W ell, that certainly clears things up for me.. How about you?
Thank you, Bill Gates, for bringing all this into our lives.
