What will happen in 2008? I mean there is nothing new really on the horizon as far as I can tell: We've seen many things happen in the past 10 to 15 years 1. Revolution in digital music. 2. Unification of devices(finished with Apple iPhone) 3. New web technologies things like Ruby, J2EE, ASP.NET and PHP 4. A Web 2 woe 5. XML 6. RSS 7. Podcasts 8. Blogs 9. Forums 10. Office applications 11. Accounting software 12. Database software( MySql, MS SQL, Oracle) 13. wikipedia and other online research tools like answers.com 14. Open source software What will be the next big thing? Can you think of anything!!! What is left on my computer that hasn't already been done or demonstrated?
I must be living under a rock or something because I just simply haven't had any problems with Vista.
Sure my old HP Scanner doesn't work but its about 5 years old now and its HPs fault for not supporting it not Microsofts. Despite this I would now never go back to Windows XP.
My build:
Dell Inspiron 1520 Notebook
Intel Core 2 Duo 1.5Ghz T5250
Vista Home Premium
4 GB Ram(Reduced to 3.5 because I only have a 32 bit version of Vista)
160GB 5200 RPM SATA Hard Disk drive
Nvidia 8600M GT 256M
Everything in Vista just works! It's extremely fast. Just as fast as XP. True the UAC can get a little annoying sometimes but you can disable it if you go into msconfig and thats what I did.
