...Windows 7 Review
With the recent release of the new Microsoft operating system windows 7 many people believe windows vista will be forgotten about with its constant security alerts and lack of user options. The new operating system has many new features which I will run through now.
Firstly the new taskbar down at the bottom is a lot easier on the eye as it no longer has any text whatsoever, instead Microsoft have opted to use just the logo of the software the user currently has running. Another improvement to the taskbar is the ability to lock items to the task bar which is a replacement of the quick launch system in Vista, this simply means that you right click click on the logo of the software you want to lock and click ?pin to taskbar? this means that when the program isn?t open it still has an icon on the taskbar and can be...
Advantages: Great new toolbar, excellent personalisation, overall brilliant design Disadvantages: Really similar to Vista.
...In July, I downloaded the Release Candidate of Windows 7 to evaluate the new operating system and I have to say it's the best version of Windows yet! It surpasses Vista in every way. Windows 7 is not available yet but I'm encouraging all Vista uers to upgrade in October as soon as the software is released. In the rest of my review I will outline some of the key features.
For starters, the toolbar has been changed dramatically. In previous versions of windows, the active windows (i.e. open programs and applications) would appear seperately as tabs with the symbols and titles of the programs (with the option to group similar windows together under one tab, such as all the internet explorers open). In Windows 7, the toolbar features the start button (the windows logo), followed by programs pinned to the taskbar and open programs, then...
Advantages: smooth, quick, easy to install and use, pretty to look at, simplified for the masses Disadvantages: Vista should have been like this - Microsoft robbed us!
...Windows 7 makes Windows Vista feel like a beta. That?s my philosophy. It was my philosophy before I bought Windows 7 and it?s still my philosophy now. That?s where the ?it looks like Vista? comments come from. Windows 7 is Vista without all the rubbish. Everything people moaned about in vista is gone (or improved) and 7 is more spangly and all singing and dancing. It looks better, runs more smoothly and is simple to use. You might even say its been dumbed down for the masses. Simplified. It?s a pleasure to use. It loads more quickly than Vista and is aesthetically pleasing as it does so.
The first thing to note is the ease with which it installed. For those of us brave enough to install our own operating systems (and re-install every so often to keep it fresh), we all know the pain and misery that it can lead too, but I have to say...
Advantages: Cheap, Reliable, AMD board Disadvantages: Socket A, so wont work with Intel cpu's
...I bought my ASUS A7V333 for £85 online. It boasted many modern features, a good BIOS, and the ability to add loads of RAM.
The ASUS motherboard costs a little less than some other motherboards, mainly because it is a Socked A board. This means that the only processors it can take are AMD Socket A processors like the Athlon 1800 that I have in mine.
The board boasts the standard 5 PCI slots for all your Modem and network cards, and has the newest AGP X4 AGP slot, meaning new cards like the nVidia GeForce 4 cards can run to their full capacity.
One nice little touch on the A7V333, is that in addition to a top of the range AMD Athlon XP2200+, you could also have 3GB of PC2700 333MHZ RAM. Unfortunately since 256megs of that RAM costs about £60, i work that out to be between £500 and £600 for 3 Gigs. Ive also seen 4 fan power slots...
Advantages: Runs really fast, Some very good features, any decent machine can run it. Disadvantages: The Price. It looks like vista and it really is just a brush up on the old OS
...Windows 7 has been said by Microsoft as being much improved and everyone would be happy with the end result. But is it really better, below is my review of a few sections which I believe is most important and compare it to older versions.
Speed: 9/10
Much faster than Vista. To compare with the Vista OS, on Vista it took around 30 secs to 45 secs to boot up and log me in. Now on Windows 7 it takes 20 - 30 secs to boot up. Shut down is also so much faster. Vista = 15 secs... Windows 7 = 5 secs..... So there is a huge improvement. Also when running programs or browsing the internet you feel like this Operating System is very smooth and just does what you want (most of the time)
Program Compatablilty: 8/10
Most Programs that run on Vista will run on Windows 7 (32-bit) very well. Though (64-bit) has a few problems such as many...
Advantages: It's not made by Microsoft. It's easy to use. Disadvantages: Not all webpages seem to load up correctly
...also get versions for Linux, OS/2, Solaris, FreeBSD, QNX and Symbian. I'm a Windows person at the moment, at least until there is a viable alternative that I don't have to concentrate on in order to use, so I went for the Opera v7 Beta 2 download. If you're at all worried about Beta versions (which are the versions available before the software is put out for general use, and therefore may contain bugs), then you're best going for v6.05, which shows on the download page as the latest stable release (Christmas is over, so although there is a stable, alas there is no manger) for Windows. However, this review is about Opera v7, so on we go, choosing a Download location of Norway (which was the closest to the UK, and therefore should be the quickest to download) and clicking the "Download Now" button to start the download of the "With Java...

Review of Opera 7
...I have an Asus A7V333 motherboard and as far as i can tell, i have had no issues with it at all. there are plenty of features, almost too many. it has a few problems, as it still uses old connections, like the AGP 4x slot, which makes it very difficult to upgrade the graphics card now. it also doesnt have sata. other than that, the motherboard is brilliant. it has 5 pci slots which were useful as i had a lot of cards. The other upgrade issue with this motherboard is that is is using an old socket type, Socket A, which makes it difficult to upgrade the processor and to find a better fan. i am also happy with the fact that it is an ATX board, so it has lots of space for upgrades, if you can find them.
This motherboard is great value for money and is a budget-board. probably good as a starter motherboard....
Advantages: Good Looking, Sporty To Drive, Well Presented Disadvantages: High Petrol Consumption and High Road Tax
...I have a 54reg coupe v6 2.7. It is the most amazing car I have ever owned. It looks wonderful on the road and drives like a dream.The car also has auto gear box, with sports mode so yes it is quite heavy on petrol and the road tax is fairly high. The interior is a nice mix of leather and chrome (not brash and cheap) just luxurious. The road holding is superb and it is amazing to drive. when I first bought it I did have to make do with a lot of negative comments like why did you buy that? I thought you were getting a proper car etc etc. Buts that all gone now. I actually sold my car 10 months ago for family reasons but after having a fiesta for this time I saw the car back for sale as the new owners couldn't afford to keep it on the road, and I bought it back.That's how much I like it. I agree the rear end can be solid but you forget...
Advantages: looks great, easy to use, nice new taskbar, high compatibility Disadvantages: cost is still high
...I recently upgraded from Windows Vista Ultimate to Windows 7 Ultimate. I had not minded Windows Vista as much as other people; my computer has a 2.13GHz dual core processor and 4GB of RAM. Windows 7 doesn't actually seem to be any faster, but it has some better features and is overall easier to use. It took about 2 hours to upgrade, which isn't bad but it's not amazingly fast. It runs all of my programs that ran under Vista no problem, and some of my hardware is actually now supported that wasn't supported in Vista. I haven't found anything that doesn't work after upgrading. I still recommend that you run the "Windows 7 upgrade advisor" first just to make sure. The new taskbar looks a bit different, but don't be worried, you'll get used to it, and once you do you'll find out that it's a big improvement. Programs no longer have text, just...
...I have just replaced my Fuji fine pix with another camera, and whilst buying my boyfriend bought himself a Lumix FS7 which I am now regretting not getting for myself. Always the way, but whenever I go shopping for something electrical, some guy in a suit always sways me towards something different. Which I should really learn from and just buy online, its usually cheaper anyway.
The Panasonic Lumix FS7 Digital camera comes in a range of different colours; it cost £130 which for a 10.1 Megapixel camera was pretty good and the deal we got meant that a free case came with it as well as an additional memory card. So there were no qualms on the price.
10.1 Megapixels
Right away we was impressed with the quality of the images this camera was taking, I also test the pictures out on phones and cameras by taking one scenic photo, a photo...
