Adrian Kingsley over at Hardware 2.0 has done another comparison between Vista and 7, keeping XP out this time, and based on gaming performance. He doesn’t reveal any accurate numbers for his benchmarks as that is against the Windows 7 RC EULA ( I wonder if using a leaked build is against that as well?! ). The benchmarks have been run on...
Mike Halsey from the long climb is working on Windows 7 Power Users Guide. I have been following his blog for some time now, and had found his Windows Vista Power Users Guide of great help. It’s like the manual you don’t get with Windows, but should. Just like the last guide he’ll be covering every aspect of Windows 7. Although as I’ve...
Microsoft has posted a video on the Internet Explorer 8 website which boasts about the speed of Internet Explorer. Shockingly, it proves to be 1/3 faster than Chrome and 3 times faster than Firefox ( all stable released versions ). They’ve done testing by using a stop watch. The video is indeed interesting to see. Although I would have...

I had recently posted about a touchscreen 6000 MHz UMPC with 512 MB running Windows 7 nicely, so it shows that Windows 7 is indeed a step forward in terms of performance on low end systems. Good news for all you netbook...
Not that I hadn’t read this before, but Ars Technica has the official word on the death of Ultimate Extras:
Our new approach to planning and building Windows doesn’t have the capacity to continue to deliver features outside the regular release cycle. While our core development team is focused on building the next release, our sustained...
*chirp just got updated and renamed to blu. TinyURL integration is available in the new version. Just paste in the URL and it’ll convert into a TinyURL. It’s really that simple. The performance also seems noticeably faster in blu than chirp. chirp used to hog around 110 MB of memory for me, where as blu just uses 36 MB.Keyboard integration...
Google Chrome looks as good on XP as it does on Vista. I like the blue title bar that shows up for Chrome in XP. I had been wondering how to get that theme in Windows Vista as well. If you use the Vista Basic theme, you can use Chrome with the blue theme in Vista as well, but after much research, I found out this relatively simple trick to...
