Features on Windows 7: Desktop Background enhancement

Desktop wallpapers has been since Windows 95 and it was great. I can personalized my computer with a little enhancement of the wallpaper but somehow I got bored because there only static and not doing anything much. In Windows Vista Ultimate, they introduced Windows DreamScene. It’s great because you can used video as a Desktop wallpaper. I like this feature, it’s great but somehow I rather like pictures than videos because sometimes they’re pixilated, sometimes it gets your video performance slow and it irritates to the eyes.

This has change in Windows 7. They enhance the Desktop Background feature. Now I can make my pictures slideshow in order or even shuffle every minute, hour or even a day!

Here is the picture sample.

Plurk

I’ve been using Plurk for several months now but you might ask me what is Plurk. Plurk is a free social networking and micro-blogging service that allows users to send updates (otherwise known as plurks) through short messages or links, which can be up to 140 text characters in length (Wikipedia.org). Plurk was lunched on May 12, 2008. So it’s new but not quite.

Plurk is fun actually but sometimes, I got bored when nobody is plurking. Plurk is similar to Twitter which is also popular (founded in the year 2006). I haven’t tried Twitter yet but I’m going to start using it next week and see which is better but for now, I’m staying with Plurk

I’m getting GAGA!

Last year, I was search for music then I heard Lady GaGa’s Music which is entitled “Just Dance”. I was curious about her because she was new and I never heard her much. Then I try hear her music. I was impress and I felt excited and happy. Then, I got GaGa over Lady GaGa this day because her music is awsome and she’s sexy (hehehe).

I love her music so much until I download her latest music video namely “Just Dance” and “Poker Face”. I love it and some people criticize over her look and her style in the music video because it’s over sexuality thing but I have to say it’s nothing. Yes, there are some parts that are negative and sexualty but if you’re mature enough, it wont be a problem.

Anyway, I like her songs and I’m geting GaGa over her. Not Inlove but GaGa. Hahaha

Windows 7 beats Windows XP and Vista

For 1 month, I’ve been using Windows 7 the next major Operating System. It’s a great OS, It has great enhancement for easy and simple use. It has the same features of Windows Vista except some programs have remove like Windows Movie Maker, Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Calender, and Windows Mail. Although this software where remove but they will replace with Windows Live Essentials software namely Windows Live Movie Maker, Windows Live Mail integrated with Windows Live Calendar, and Windows Live Photo Gallery.

This OS has it all but are you curious about performance. You might say that “It’s still Vista, so it’s going to be slower” but it isn’t. It’s faster and better than Windows Vista and also faster in Windows XP.

A test has been performed by Zdnet.com. And indeed it beasts Windows XP and Vista in several areas including Boot and Shutting down speed, Loading Application and Working with files or programs.

Tested in the following desktop machine:

1. An AMD Phenom 9700 2.4GHz system fitted with an ATI Radeon 3850 and 4GB of RAM
2. An Intel Pentium Dual Core E2200 2.2GHz fitted with an NVIDIA GeForce 8400 GS and 1GB of RAM

Here is the performance test result.

Overall that Windows 7 beats Windows Vista and XP.
