   Review - Microsoft Windows 7 64-bit

   Release Candidate 1 (RC) (May 5, 2009)

   Stable, fast, outperforms Vista and even XP in many areas.
   
   Need some more 64-bit 3rd party application support still, but that's not the fault of the OS.
   
   Boots fast, GUI is extremely responsive, taskbar is nearly flawless.

   Review - Microsoft Windows 7 32-bit

   Release Candidate 1 (RC) (May 5, 2009)

   Yay! for trolls.
   
   "Looks like KDE" *laughing*
   
   Yeah, you need glasses, sparky.
   
   "runs as slow as vista"
   
   Hmm.... Sounds like your problem. Everyone who's actually *run* it is saying it performs *far* better.

   Review - Defraggler

   1.09.138 (Apr 14, 2009)

   Issues: Extended defrag times, and disappearing HDD space during defrag.
   
   Solution: Disable System Restore and the Pagefile (may require reboot) Defrag - re-enable System restore and Pagefile.
   
   They *really* need to "lock" system restore while defragging to solve this glitch. The pagefile thing is just a preference, really.
   
   Do the above, however, and it will work flawlessly for almost all.
   
   (This does *not* apply to single-file or selection-mode defrag, it will work fine for that without the above steps.)

   Review - Microsoft Windows 7 32-bit

   Beta (Jan 9, 2009)

   Gawd, what a bunch of whiners. Yeah, they screwed up and should have known better. It sucks that they had to go and screw up the first beta release of a perfectly good OS.
   
   That's a strike against Microsoft, not the product you are "supposedly" reviewing.
   
   If you haven't tried the OS, don't rate it, morons. Duh?
   
   Using the build now, activated. Handles much better than Vista does (What does that tell us...beta code running better than the current platform..)
   
   Vista wasn't the best. It's launch was horrifying. It's a decent OS now, and Windows 7 blows it out of the water.
   
   I'm one of those "technical types" running it as my primary OS. It is faster, more stable, and (subjectively) more responsive than Vista ever was.

   mjm....
   
   *laughing*
   
   Damn you. This keyboard cost me $60 bucks!

6. Comment - Can Google-Motorola Mobility bring stability to the Force?

   Ugh...
   
   Your last SW reference was bad enough, Joe. Please...stop. You're hurting us.

   Ya know, it makes it really hard to read it when you drop words in the.

7. Comment - HTC says everything Apple makes infringes on three of its patents

   4.15.1.450 (Aug 17, 2011 - 3:44 PM)

   Moogle... awesome.
   
   Someone needs to make a "commercial" for that...

8. Comment - HTC says everything Apple makes infringes on three of its patents

   Neither of them are trolls.
   
   One or both may be abusive, but in the end it just boils down to business as usual. We'll likely see a lot more "business as usual" in the first quarter of 2012 if we end up with Googorola, as Googorola joins the fray in an effort to beat back the companies threatening Android partners.

9. Comment - Samsung SSD's speed up with new 830 series

   4.15.1.450 (Aug 17, 2011 - 10:49 AM)

   SSD is definitely the way to go nowadays for the OS drive. A 120GB drive can be had for as "little" (depending on ones definition of "little") as $100.
   
   We've been using Samsung 810's(128GB) here, and they are nice. Even made my wife's netbook no longer feel like a netbook. :D

10. Comment - A history of Motorola: From a warehouse in Chicago to Google's arms

    I repeat:
    
    Learn what a monopoly is.
    
    (Hint: Google isn't one...)
    
    ...and before you jump back in to post "Yeah they are!", don't bother. If you cannot discuss it without basing your opinions on blatantly false information, it's not worth discussing.
