A Whirlwind of News

I have to say, I don't keep up with news like I should, but I have been trying lately. One of the ways I have been doing this is to use Google Desktops RSS readers to keep news right on my desktop.

A really cool adaptation to the RSS feed reader though, has been released in Beta mode from MSNBC called Spectra. It actually takes the headlines from the content you choose and puts them in a cyclone flash applet.

I could describe it here,but just check it out yourself, it's pretty cool.

A Requiem for Windows XP - InfoWorld.com

I have to say, I will miss XP as the best Microsoft OS ever made. I agree completely with the comment from the senior test analyst below the article...

"After all the rather buggy versions of Windows since the very first edition (that was 3.0, I believe), Windows XP was a pleasant surprise. "Microsoft finally got it right," was my thinking. Well almost."

It was definitely "close enough for government work" and I will make sure I find every loophole available so I can continue using XP on our corporate network.

Leave Vista Alone!!! This Video Says it all. People who like vista are retarded like this guy!!!

Here is what I think about it. Need a new machine and lots of ram to run correctly. It's pretty, but that;s all!!

And although Mac is just making fun of Vista, this is one of the most true to life comercials about Vista that ever existed: Vista Security?

Virtual Desktop Manager for Windows XP

I found a program that will actually allow you to have multiple "workspaces" open at one time, so you can be in the middle of a task that requires you to have 30 screens open and switch to a new desktop with no windows open to do something else real quick without having to close or lose any windows you're working on.

This is a feature that is apparently common in Linux. I have Debian (free) running as a virtual machine using VMWare (also free now) and found that I really like that feature it offers so while seaching for the same feature in windows, this is what I found.

Check it out!
