That's like opening the refrigerator door > slowly to see if you can confirm the light really goes out. http://www.neowin.net/index.php On June 30, Microsoft is scheduled to pull the OEM distribution plug on Windows XP. In 30 days. That's all before the older operating system largely disappears from new PCs. The "largely" qualifier is because downgrade rights will still be available to some customers, and system builders can ship PCs with XP through January 2009. The next 30 days are crucial for anyone still wanting to easily obtain Windows XP on new PCs. But why wait? Why not try Vista, and only Vista, for the next 30 days? Filmmaker Morgan Spurlock pioneered the 30-days concept in the movie "Supersize Me," where he only ate McDonalds food for, you guessed it, 30 days. The concept continues in the FX series "30 Days." I don't believe that Morgan has done a 30-day stretch with Windows Vista, but maybe he should. |

Scary what a diet of fast food and nothing but can do to your body in as little time as a month. Unofficial survey question on fast food French Fries: I LOVE French fries. I'm sort of a French fry snob, thus the reason for me asking. Occasionally, when stopping at some fast food joint, regardless if McDonalds, Burger King, Wendy's, all of them, you end up with some disgustingly greasy, limp, soggy fries. I know which location you stop at makes all the difference... at least that's been my experience, so I'll drive past my local McDonalds to go to one that's a few miles further just because they almost always do the fries right. Anybody else have similar experiences? I've actually inquired since McDonalds is headquartered in the Chicago area and I happen to know somebody that works in Oakbrook. The reason this happens (as told to me) is the jerk that cooks them puts too many fries at one time in the fryer. Since they're frozen, some fries near the middle of the basket may remain partially frozen longer and end up soaking up too much oil thus rendering them disgusting. You never will get a whole order of soggy fries, but sometimes enough to spoil your meal. Finally if you love fries like I do. really GOOD fries, you really need to make them yourself. Get yourself a Delonghi Roto Fryer. It ain't cheap, about $100, but oh baby does it make great fries and everything fried, like chicken, fish. The secret is it rotates the food basket so you use far less oil. Only use peanut oil, yea, I know, that's the most expensive oil. For really great fries preheat and cook at 370 degrees between 4-5 minutes if you start with frozen fries, yummy and perfect. Light golden brown, slight crunch on the outside just a tad soft but still firm on the inside and hot! I HATE cold fries too. Now I'm hungry, guess what I'm going to eat. LOL! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000G19BCQ |

Considering that I have 1 XP laptop, 3 XP desktops, 2 Vista Laptops, and 1 Vista Desktop says to me that I spend quite a bit of time in the computer realm. In fact, probably several hours of the day outside of work. Perhaps you're less than capable using Vista or learning how not to crash a computer system would be educational for you. I don't sit around and install new updates every time. One because I use all my computers more than that. I have computers for different purposes. One primarily for amateur radio software and music not to mention media mixing. Another is for website development and business. 2 are for personal pleasure one desktop and the other laptop. The other couple get a lot of web usage. One pretty much has thousands of songs on it. You might learn something from some of the posters here. No small task to keep all those computers running in top shape. Something else that eludes you. |
