I had a problem recently with Windows 7 refusing to go to sleep. I would click “Sleep” and the screen would go off but all the fans were still going and on moving the mouse around I would be presented with the login screen – not exactly “Sleep” in my books. I was baffled by this and no matter how many times I told the machine to go to sleep it would behave the same way.
Fortunately the cure for this insomnia is relatively simple!
A month or two after downgrading my HP Compaq 6715b laptop to Windows XP, I’ve found some real benefits to having given up Vista.
Certainly the “Wow” has been replaced by the enjoyment of having a stable, resource friendly system that can be relied upon to perform where needed.
Windows Vista came pre-installed on a new addition to the Pixelapes computer equipment and after 2 months of lacklustre performance the question must be asked:
Why shouldn’t we just take a quick step back and revert to Windows XP? Can you provide some valid arguments to encourage a second chance for the new Windows Vista operating system?
When you try to do pretty much anything on a computer, it is fairly standard to see a display showing how much of the task is done, and how much is left before the task is completed. This rings true for copying files, opening a web page, installing a programme, and many other things.
Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom, have apparently decided that one task in particular clearly doesn’t need a progress display.
A lot of end users, mac and pc, tend to pit themselves and their chosen product against the other. We’ve all seen it or heard people talking about why one is better than the other, and sure Apple seem to leverage that through their recent Mac adverts.
However this interview certainly demonstrates that whilst Microsoft and Apple are in competition with each other, they also work together in a lot of spheres.
After much fan-fare from Dell regarding pre-loading Windows Vista on all their machines, customer demand forced them to do a u-turn and return to offering Windows XP on certain systems.
