While there is no package manager, since Vista there is something called Windows Anytime Upgrade that makes upgrading easier.
Upgrading to another version of Windows Vista or Windows 7 currently requires the purchase of a license online, which gives the user the ability to upgrade. Included in the license is the Product Key, but this is not seen as the upgrade process is automatic. The user is not required to input any key, such as that associated with packaged products bought in the shops or provided by OEMs with their products. The license download can be achieved direct by either going directly to the website address or by using the Windows Anytime Upgrade feature included in the Control Panel. One can then complete the process by downloading the license software that is required for the process. This prepares the computer for the upgrade and the use of the DVD media containing Windows. It is important to note that Windows itself is on the Windows Anytime Upgrade DVD and is not downloadable during this process.
Nope. Windows 7 Professional and up includes the fully licensed XP in a virtual machine. (But it is a separate download, yeah.)
And it is not just a VM, programs running in the VM can seamlessly integrate with the Windows 7 desktop. If installers place icons in the start menu of the virtual machine, those icons also appear in the start menu of Windows 7 and can be used to start those programs in the VM directly.
Here in Hungary we got rid of 1 and 2 forint coins since 2008 march 1. for the same reason. (And they were small, so they got lost easily.)
Individual products/services can still be priced to end in 1, 2, 3... etc, but the end sum must be rounded to end in either 0 or 5. The exception is bank money transfers and credit card charges.
The whole thing was announced in the fall of 2007, so it was over quickly.
200 Ft banknotes are also being changed to coins, because those last longer and are cheaper to make. Probably also because that is now the nearest coin to the 1 euro, making eventual transition easier. (Ironic that until 1998 the 200 forint WAS a coin. *sigh*)
File systems don't decide where to put the tracks on the magnetic platters, why should they decide where to write the data in a flash chip?
Unless you want to move the "smartness" into the OS, that would mean SSD manufacturers couldn't use specific optimizations, or had to issue proprietary drivers.
FYI Windows 7 disables defragmenting on SSD drives.
The automatic scheduling of defragmentation will exclude partitions on devices that declare themselves as SSDs. Additionally, if the system disk has random read performance characteristics above the threshold of 8 MB/sec, then it too will be excluded. The threshold was determined by internal analysis.
Amperes are a unit of current. Current over time is amp hours.
(Multiply it by voltage and you get energy consumption in watt hours.)
When you compare two batteries, you usually already have a given voltage your battery operated equipment needs, so the only thing that matters for capacity comparison are the amp hours.
Ampere hours are the fancy name for 3600 coulombs, the SI unit of electric charge.
(Just how watt hours are a fancy name for 3600 joules of energy.)
how many electric surges do you need to take out 3 computer systems in an aluminum tube?
You mean a Faraday cage?
Also there is too much use of composites in the Airbus planes... I am not sure they can stand abnormal stresses as well as metal alloys traditionally used.
If handling "abnormal stresses" is such an important factor, why isn't it part of the requirements?

It's not like half of the Internet didn't know the date since January.
Microsoft just decided to disable those features.
And sell those editions cheaper.
and they see Apple with a cheap but better OS
That comes conveniently prepackaged with expensive but not really better hardware.
Yeah, they clearly only care about US companies.
Not all microwave radiation is 2.4 GHz.
1. It will be free.
2. It will not be shipped with Windows. (Sorry anti-trust guys.)
3. It is based on the Microsoft Forefront business product line.
So...
Linux sudo: good
Windows "sudo": ZOMG FAIL!!!!
This won't be a built-in AV.

Then leave the navigation to the bus driver.

TRIM is just like any other ATA command, you don't need different drivers, only one driver that supports TRIM.

Virtual XP mode with builtin IE6.
Comes free with Windows 7 Professional/Enterprise/Ultimate
And to anybody not living in the US or in Japan.
No, your motor uses 250 amps, always.
