Thank you The reason I ask for Intel RST is because everytime I install it on my PC (HDD set to ACHI), the computer wont boot in to Windows (or even safe mood). I have to go to System Repair and do a system restore to get it working. It used to work fine, but the new version is not acting...

Hello everyone I have recently purchased an Intel 320 120GB SSD for my computer (Asus 6Pt Deluxe based on X58 chipset). When it comes to SSDs, I dont know anything except that they are fast and good to store OS and programs. I plan to use my other harddrives to store my documents and digital...

Windows XP is a different case though. I dont think any OS will ever enjoy the popularity and longetivity that XP has

IE6 is a difficult case Although IE6 was the better browser when it came out, soon the security issues within IE6became critical. Microsoft was supposed to bring the next version of IE with the next version of Windows and we know how that turned out (6 years for Windows Vista). Plus I dont...

That's true I remember when Windows XP came out the coverage was more negative than positive and Microsoft was at the height of its unpopularity (with Apple being the underdog). Application and hardware incompatibilies were common (especialy to those coming from Win98/ME which outnumbered...

I have set the HDDs to AHCI

Windows Live Mail Client is a great program and manages all the different email ac++++s with proper settings; the only downside is it doesn't work with Google Calendar or Contacts (you have to manually import them). However if you also use Windows Luve Calendar and Contacts then it can manage...

Hey everyone So everytime I install the new intel storage drivers 10.1 on my Windows 7 PC it will not boot; it simply gets stuck in the boot logo and stay there. To make it work, I have to go recovery options and use system restore to make things work again. Any idea what could be the...

Hello everyone I use Google Calendar extensively so I need a desktop application to manage it from my desktop. I know it syns to outlook, but it only does so for the primary calendar but I have multiple calendars Does anyone know any desktop applications that I can use for this purpose...

That's even more BS compared to MS buying Adobe

It depends Office 2003 is still a very capable suit of applications that can do pretty much most of the stuff people need. But the ribbon interface and added new features of Office 2010 is a no brainer All Office suits since 2003 are great programs

He never really fit into Microsoft; he is a smart guy for sure but I dont think he can do much for Microsoft's move towards consumer market Bill Gates needs to come back. It's his company afterall. Ozzie never really replaced him

It's a good thing PC enthusiasts are not like Apple zealots

It seems like Microsoft has finally learned how to market and hype something up This is the way to do it rather than the usual dull Microsoft way

I think in market like Smartphone and PMP, Apple's approach which is to control the hardware and software is better. It allows for better integration, consistencty and better performance especially in battery life department Microsoft have chosen a more liberal approach compared to Apple, but...

I always wonder why so many people are fond of Windows XP; not because it is not a Good XP (it is a great OS), but I remember many had issues with it when it was released and the security problems were rampant I didn't really use Vista much (I was primarily a Mac OSX user back then) but I...

All these years and yet Microsoft had not included (or produced) a decent calendar program with their system The built in program in Windows Live Mail sucks big time. They did however include a good calendar program with Vista, but for reasons unknown they discontinued it and instead stuck with...

I'd choose Windows 95 as the most important software (OS). While Windows 3.1 was great, Windows 95 really brought it all together.I doubt we'll ever see people line up to buy an OS again Windows 2000 was to me the best version of Windows ever. When it came out, it was slim and fast and it had...

Windows is a good thing. Otherwise we'd have to spend twice the amount to buy what Steve Jobs think we must use or use Linux I'm glad there is Windows so I can put together the hardware I want for my Desktop and yet use an advanced OS with the latest features and programs For laptops, I'd...

No edit so I add it here Every company has its peak and then eventual slowdown I remember Sony used to be the dominant force of 70s and 80s and relatively 90s. They had spectacular designs, great ads, quality products and basically enjoyed the same hype and reputation Apple has today. Today...

I think the whole Microsoft is all evil argument is getting old Has Microsoft done questionable things? Yes. Did they use other means to achieve success? Absolutely But none of it really matters. What Microsoft did was they were extremely smart to take advantage of their opportunities when the...

The very fact that geeks are dismissive of this OS makes me think it'll be a success

If Microsoft buys Adobe, there is no reason to shut down the Mac development considering it is a huge revenue opportunity The very fact that by buying Adobe they will own CS, PDF and Flash is enough for them. Flash migh go out one day but CS and PDF are here to stay

Microsoft has been doing excellent in terms of security for the last 5 years

I really like the concepts and the design philosophy behind WP7 but like I did with iPhone 3G, I'll wait a year for bugs to be ironed out and for features to be added but if it improves fast enough I'll see myself switching to WP7 in a year or two For now, my iPhone 3GS is more than enough. I...

I happen to prefer Firewire over USB (especially on the Mac side) but it is going away. Even Apple doesnt seem serious about it anymore and lots of other devices are ditching Firewire and going USB only; going forward it'll be either USB 3.0 or Lightpeak which is too bad because Firewire is a...

IE8 for me. It's reliable, fast and uses less resource when playing Flash or Silverlight

Anandtech is a big time Apple shill and Mac apologist

So far I'm enjoying Civilization V. What a great game I like the new interface. It's a little too cartoonish but it works well to simply the interface and make it more manageable. While I didn't have any issues with the interface in previous civ games I have to say comparatively they look...

Windows Vista will have always a less than ideal reputation but comparing to Windows ME is not fair and accurate. During Vista days I was still a Mac user so I didn't have to deal with the pre-SP1 pains of Vista but to suggest Vista is a bad OS is misguided Vista brought many changes to the...

Come on; dont hurt Phide's Apple feelings

What about the feelings of bunch of fat liberal jihadist sympathizers who wear tight shirts and have "sensitive" feelings (and also hate US army)? Come on dont spoil their wikileaks party

Many people say many things but that doesnt mean we should listen to them or take their leftists propaganda as anything worthwhile. The countries we are talking about are bunch of terrorist dictatorships who will our freedom in danger. They must be dealt with and that means military invasion...

If they are a danger they must be dealt with regardless of having any rights to govern themselves or not. If they cannot mind their own business and threaten our freedom and interests then they must be taught a lesson

Dont say anything negative about North Korea guys otherwise you'll upset the leftists and pacifists To them anyone who is anti America must be good

Great idea Lets surrender to terrorist natioans and make Sharia Law valid in all western countries and suppress any freedom of speech so terrorists can feel at ease Definitely a foreign policy that a hippie liberal can dream of

For me it started with Atari 2600 Atari 2600 ----------------------- Tarzan River raid Commodore 64 --------------------------- The Last Ninja Operation Thunderbolt Amiga 500 --------------------------- The Defender of the Crown Shadow of the Beast PC...

Nope but we can make sure we are prepared to face any situation if (unfortuntaly) it becomes necessary I believe it's important to stay one step ahead

I'm definitely all for investing into finding other sources for energy and unfortunately it is something that is easily overlooked and underappreciated for lots of people. But to do this we need something of a cohesive plan and approach by the government and I dont think it has happened yet...

its more dangerous than the cold war. there you dealt with bunch of commies and socialists that had a little common sense and the desire to live the life; here you are talking about bunch of terrorists that are born to kill others we have to put even more money into the US military to make...
