Here’s a screenshot of my Gmail Quota:

But, I decided to try that on Internet Explorer 7 and guess what? the results appeared!!!
Is that stupid or what? I tried to remove my cookie, and tunnel my request through a proxy and unfortunately it didn’t work on Firefox…

So! can we conclude that Microsoft is trying a new marketing plan for IE7?

I’m using Windows Vista! Live seems working with Firefox on Linux and Mac

EDIT

Live search is working again on Mozilla Firefox, so it was a temporary issue!

you can use in addition to silverlight project and .net framework some design tools like Expression blend and Microsoft Expression Media which all are interconnected with each other which helps creating user interaction for the application that you are working on:

- Expression Media which allows you to create and enhance videos ;
- Blend which is a design tool to create user interaction for Silverlight.

It is very useful for media project,GUI animations it simplifies the work to add animation in your application.

One of the projects done with Silverlight is the Top Banana which is a great media application that enables you to sort browse and edit video content.It is a rich interactive application deployed online and viewed in the Browsers(Firefox ,IE).More over you can drag the video player to transform the video frame into a sequence of images visually representing the entire video this is called film strip mode. All these edits that u make to these videos are finally stored as XML and with windows media you can publish the video in a blog ,website or broadcast the video.

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.

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 .

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