7 Stylish Visual Styles for Windows 7

November 2nd, 2009

Windows 7 only hit the store shelves 9 days ago, but, as us geeks got our hands on it much earlier, we already explorered most of the OS—including the desktop customization aspect of it.

Using Vista Style Builder to build visual styles for 7, and AveStyler or UXStyle to enable custom, non-Microsoft visual styles on your system, you can already begin skinning Windows 7. For many people, desktop customization plays a huge role in their OS experience, and if 7 is new and doesn’t have any stylish skins (like the majority of Vista skins out there, yuck), these customization enthusiasts may be reluctant to switch. » Read more: 7 Stylish Visual Styles for Windows 7

Windows 7 ISO Image Edition Switcher Free Download for Direct Convert

November 1st, 2009

Windows 7 no longer has “One Disc to Rule Them All” universal installation DVD disc media or ISO image which allows users to select whichever editions of Windows 7 they prefer to install during setup. Instead, each Windows 7 installation ISO or media is specific for a channel and distribution and can be used to install an edition of Windows 7 only.

The one-edition only of Windows 7 ISO or DVD may bring inconvenient and challenges to some people. For example, TechNet or MSDN subscribers will have to use and waste unnecessary bandwidth to download multiple ISO images for each editions of Windows 7. And for people who wants to backup and archive Windows 7 ISOs or DVDs will now have to allocate more disk storage or cabinet space to save and store multiple ISO images or DVD discs, instead of just two – one for 32-bit Windows 7 and another for 64-bit Windows 7. Worse, if user want copies too for allegedly retail, upgrade, oem or volume license editions.

Windows 7 vs. Ubuntu 9.10 – Strengths and weaknesses

November 1st, 2009

Over the past few days I’ve been thinking quite a bit about the differences between Microsoft’s latest Windows 7 and Canonical’s Ubuntu 9.10.
