just for kicks i timed my windows 7 boot. with only Picassa and firefox installed and on a core 2 duo, 2.2 Ghz

I tend to go to work.

@GiacobbeDexamenus: if you're a business, often system wide updates are pushed by IT and load whenever users reboot. Therefore, employees are told to reboot everynight when they leave. So it may be less of an issue for a home user but there are millions of businesses that may need to reboot daily for maintenence.

what are the major diffences between vista and 7000? i know media center is a bit different but i'm dual botting both and the user experience is almost the same. But my vista install is rock solid too.

@versatileninja: i put 10. only problem is not vista isn't seeing my old partitian when i boot into vista so i only have 9 free gbs.

i'm running vista and 7 and honestly i don't yet tell the difference in performance. Although my vista install was pretty rock solid already. But man does it install a lot faster.

there are nothing but search firm listings throughout most of these sites. The search firm just lists the same job on every site including craigslist. It's a way they get resumes in but they often don't hire anyone.

i frequent this one along with the others mentioned already

horrible article.

my guess is with the android platform being tied to google's crappy contact manager there may be google contacts upgrade in our future. Mostly because i think they get a lot of complaints now about syncing issues and cluttered g1 phones. Cluttered with bad gmail contact info that is.

crashed doing mkvs. sucks. back to ripbot

i've found really hot water burns the coffee in my pot. and the 1-4 cup setting produces burnt coffee as well. Bad water also ruins coffee.

Oh one more question. Can you remove that giant clock from the start page? the time's already in the upper right corner and it looks out of place to me. Also are the is the capability even through other developor add ons to change or skin the icons? I find them a bit. cartoonish.

Gina, If it was free to get out of your Iphone contract and you were in a decent 3G area would you stick with the 3g Iphone or take the leap? I'm just curious. me i'm already at tmobile on a cheap plan so as nice as the iphone is i probably won't switch cause i'm cheap.

i like the desktops. I like minimalism. One thing though is i don't need all the the info. like how full my hard drive is, or fan info, the date. and i do use the task bar. just my opinion.
