Windows Vista is out and every one is wondering if it is worth buying and if it has advantages over the XP and if not what are the disadvantages.The best way to get acquainted with Vista is to test it. So i decided to spend a day with my friend (Challita Youssef) who works as a part timer in the IT department of LAU (Lebanese American University) and they have already installed the Vista windows there on a PC in order to test its performance and see all its new features.

Here’s some feeds about how Vista works.

In order to install Vista first u need arround 12Gb space.Once installed u will feel and touch the difference between the XP and the VISTA especially in graphics. The AeroGlass interface gives you a great feeling and that is why you need arround 256 MB VGA card to run and enjoy the graphics on Vista.Moreover i have a tool that tells how much memory and CPU percentage you are using.After running and testing it on Vista when you are doing nothing (meaning that no program is running on ur PC)if you have a 1GB ram which is the average rams that can be found in all pcs 39% memory is used on this computer so the windows vista is always using 390 MB in our case wow Vista is a big product (39% is too much don’t you think).

Windows Vista Performance Enhancements

With SuperFetch and ReadyBoost, Windows Vista introduces two features to make use of today’s technology in order to improve the user experience.Windows SuperFetch enables programs and files to load much faster than they would on Windows XP–based PCs.This means that more application data should be actively cached into all available memory moreover SuperFetch monitors which applications you use the most and preloads these into your system memory so they’ll be ready when you need them. Windows Vista also enables you give priority to important programs that you use infrequently (SuperFetch), whether that is physical RAM or a USB Flash memory device (ReadyBoost).Microsoft’s goal was to create balanced performance by removing delays in everyday work.

Not mentioning also that they promised to improve the security in the Vista(automatic backup system especially when you are not using the PC) .But as we all know no product is made to be perfect.It is a well known strategy that Microsoft uses and has been using for marketing its own softwares so that it can profit from maintaining its products .I think the best thing to do is to wait a year before buying it ; just stick to the XP. If you guys have more than 1GB Ram memory and 256 MB VGA card why not try the free version at the beginning for 30 days and if you really liked it ; then later pay for it and get it but before you do ; ask your self this question: Is it worth paying this much on a product ?! Especially that the windows XP will satisfy you using any application from now until next year.

On the other hand we can find great Operating systems with great graphics and great interfaces. They are very secure and they are totally FREE ,such as UBUNTU.If i was to decide what to do in your place i will wait a year there is no rush to buy something new when you are satisfied with what you got. As long as softwares and games don’t demand new technologies( higher graphics cards,higher memories)i will keep on using my lovely XP.

The main purpose in using italics in the ads is to attract more people to click on ads in a site but the question is the following: is it good enough? especially that it s already in bold ,highlight and Color so why make it even more in Italic? will it make a difference.

Sometimes too much of makeup can be harmful and the readers unconsciously won’t like it. The point is that some people might find it attractive while others won’t.

For me as a blogger, the most important thing is not to lose any person that is interested in my blog so why don’t we have the freedom to design our own ads. We ll be satisfied with our own result and if there s lack of audience we won’t be blaming anyone but ourselves .

You have images to resize, fix, remove red eye… Adobe has released a tool for non designers to manipulate photos. In general, the concept is similar to Google Picasa’s, but It’s a shareware software. The price is $299!

I think Google Picasa does the job perfectly! Why buying a software where 90% of the features are available in a professional freeware.
