With much ado, Windows 7 was released world wide yesterday. The reviews are in and they seem uniformly positive.
The Guardian: Windows 7 is simply the best version of Windows you can get…a lot less buggy than Apple’s Snow Leopard.
Slate: the new Windows is not only the best operating system that Microsoft has ever produced. It [...]

An interesting article at xbit labs.
Be sure to read the first comment too.
Certainly, Apple is a trend setter. Just look to the impact they have had on the smart phone market in such a short time. But they are a trend setter in the same way that Mercedes or BMW are trend setters. Not really [...]

When I first started using the internet, web portals were all the rage. I remember I used Excite, even having an @ Excite email address. There was also Alta Vista and others. With the advent of Google the web portal went into decline although its shell is still visible at such places as Yahoo and [...]

When I quit pirating (stealing) software, I needed a photo editor that was both full featured and cheap. Gone was Photoshop, and testing of others began. After trying virtually every editor out there, I settled on Corel Photo Paint. I bought version X, upgraded to X1, and then upgraded to X2.
I found the DRM distasteful, [...]

When I say advice for Safari developers I mean Apple employees not web developers targeting Safari. As regular readers know, I’ve been somewhat tough on Safari since its release for Windows (see here and here for examples.)
With the release of version 4, Safari seems like much more of an option for Window’s users. It seems [...]

Let’s start with Mint. On Wednesday, Linux Mint 6 KDE CE was released. Based on Ubuntu Intrepid and using KDE 4.2, I think that this is the first usable KDE 4.x distro to be released. Mint [...]

Uh oh, two Win7 posts in a row.
Test box: A Sony Viao desktop from mid 2002. It came with XP w/o any SPs. It has a 1.3 GHz Celeron S (based on Pentium III), 512 MB (original) RAM, onboard Intel graphics, onboard Realtec network, DVD ROM and CD r/w. The hard drive failed a while [...]

I downloaded build 7057 and installed it on my laptop and desktop.
First some background. I built my desktop to run Vista. I knew the beta was buggy, I knew the RC was buggy and I thought the whole thing was on the fugly side. But I trusted MS to get it right for the RTM.
On [...]

Keep an eye on this page, it should be released at any time. KDE is back and it is better than ever.
I checked out the newly released Debian 5, it comes with KDE 3.5x and it is screaming fast and well put together. If you are afraid of change and want a stable and fast [...]

its biggest selling point seems to be that it does not suck half as much as the previous version. In fact, in my personal tests I found that it sucked 4.2 times less than Safari 3.
They seem to have borrowed heavily from IE 7 and Google’s Chrome. From the UI to the tabs to the [...]
