just curious on what people would say on this :D if you had the chance to invent something new, never been done before, never been thought of what would it be? if you can post the name of the invention and what it does :)

# snapjudgment Microsoft yesterday released a video walkthrough of its brand new interface , and while it's notably touch-friendly, Microsoft noted that this is the new Windows for desktops, laptops, and mobile devices alike. It's still too early to understand exactly how it'll work in practice...

Under users I have a folder with the following name UPdatUser, all the sub folders are empty and the Icon for the User folder has locked symbol on it. I am wondering what this is? It really takes no space, so just out of intellectual curiosity can it be deleted and what function does it serve?

The real-time Internet is crowding out the future and the past. Here's what to do about it. Search the Internet for a time machine and you may end up with an empty wallet and painful injuries, if the movie Napoleon Dynamite is accurate. I don't recommend buying a time machine on eBay. But...

Here's one for you......Why is it when widows releases updates and you receive them, and you have more than one computer....networked or not......that each computer some running the exact same specs than others, that the updates for each computer arrive at different days and times? Very...

I installed Windows 7 Professional without problems, including updating all my drivers. After loading the basic operating system I noticed, as part of the boot-up process, following the 4 colour moving Microsoft logo, there then follows exactly 60 seconds of blank screen, followed by the final...

I'm running 32 bit on my Samsung NC10, very successfully, so I thought I'd try installing it on a new build E5200-based PC as well, which also runs pretty well. However, the E5200 is a 64-bit capable system, so is there any real benefit in installing the 64 bit version of the RC? Ok, it's...

Ok, with my vista, my performance index is a 4.9. when I had the beta, my performance index went to a 5.4. I thought that was really awesome, and I had assumed it was because 7 was less resource heavy, or maybe it used resources in a different way. But when I installed the RC1, my performance...

Just curious. I should be able to pick it up from MSDN tomorrow through work (assuming the links I've read saying it's available through MSDN/Technet are true). My boss has the account info for MSDN and he's out today so I won't be able to download until tomorrow. I'll be reloading my desktop...

Question: When reformatting hard drive, how many times is it being rewritten? I was just curious, plus the question was put to me and I had no answer. Thanks.

Hey all, So, here we are a month or so into the Windows 7 Beta being widely available (legally) to whoever wants it. Many have installed with no problems at all (myself included.. :) ) and many have had only minor problems that were easily fixed.. I think it's safe to say that most of us have...

I am just currious if anyone has 6956. I have the 6801 and I have no problems with it at all. Anyway, I was just wondering if someone could take their time to testify about any differences in the new build so that I could decide if I want to let go of my system that is already near flawless...

Hey all, As the title says, I'm just curious to know, how many people think the Final build of Windows 7 will be released in 2009? From the research I've done it seems like MS could in theory release it now if they really wanted to. Keep in mind that's just an observation on my part, I'm in...
