Windows 7 Review

Windows 7 Desktop

We put Windows 7 through the paces in our detailed review. Is it better than Vista? How does it compare to Mac OSX?

It’s finally here. Nearly three years after Microsoft unleashed Windows Vista unto the world, crippling otherwise competent computers with obscene system requirements and feature bloat, Microsoft has returned for redemption with Windows 7, otherwise known as “what Vista should have been.” Though not as revolutionary in appearance as its predecessor, Microsoft has promised a slew of long-awaited refinements, including better performance, a powerful universal search, and better driver and hardware compatibility. We popped our freshly minted RTM copy of Windows 7 into the favorite office testbed – HP’s Firebird – and put the new OS through its paces to see whether Redmond can deliver on its promises when Windows 7 hits the streets on October 22.
Check out our Window 7 video review.

Installation
Not surprisingly, the installer for Windows 7 looks uncannily like Windows Vista’s: pop in the disc, navigate through a few questions about where you want it installed, then let it grind out the rest. Amazingly, it took only 17 minutes after finishing up the brief question period to landing on the Windows 7 desktop – a pretty impressive feat.

After launching for the very first time, Windows 7 transparently dealt with all our Firebird’s hardware except the video card, which we had to right click on under device manager and ask it to pull new drivers for. After a short automated search and install process, we had month-old drivers on the machine without so much as having to open a browser – though we did find slightly fresher drivers on Nvidia’s site.

The New Desktop
While Windows 7 retains the same glassy window style, icons and many other holdovers from Vista, more users will immediately notice that the taskbar has changed dramatically. Most notably, Microsoft has stripped out the clutter. A slightly taller taskbar now accommodates large, squared-off icons (rather than rectangular labels) in the bar, making it in some ways similar to Mac’s OS X dock. Every open program gets an icon, but you can also pin your favorites to hang out on the bottom even when they’re not in use, similar to the quick-launch area in previous Windows. This helps reduce the visual untidiness that comes from stringing out program titles in the taskbar itself. And really who needs them? If you do decide to revert to the old ways, Windows 7 will allow you to turn off the icon-based system, and also shrink the taskbar back to its original size.

Windows 7 Taskbar

Since icons alone don’t tell you what’s going on with your desktop at any given time, Microsoft has implemented its new Aero Peek feature to fill in the necessary details. Hovering over any icon (or clicking if you’re in a hurry) will show the separate thumbnails for each window within any given program, like different Firefox windows, along with labels (Yahoo, Digg, Downloads, etc.) above them. Hovering over a thumbnail will take the details a step further by hiding every window and showing just the one in question to clarify which you’re dealing with. You can also right-click on any of the taskbar icons to get Jump Lists, which are basically shortcut lists pertaining to the programs. For instance, IE will present shortcuts for your last visited sites and tasks, like opening a new tab, while Windows Media player will let you pause or skip forward through playlists without actually opening it to full screen.

Windows 7 Hover Feature

With many users now sporting enormous widescreen monitors, Windows 7’s new “snaps” feature turned out to be one of the most unexpectedly smart additions to make the most of all that real estate. Grab any window, drag it to the right or left edge of the screen, and it will automatically resize to half the screen. This makes it easy to browse on two screens at once to compare, type in Word with a browser window next to it, and so on. When you’re done, dragging the window to a new position automatically returns it to the old size. Additional options for snapping (akin to those the freeware AllSnap offers) would still be appreciated, though.

For those who immediately look at a Windows desktop and want to get to work making it their own, Microsoft has made that easier, as well. The new personalization menu features a wide array of attractive built-in themes, plus the means to switch them up by swapping backgrounds, screensavers, and even picking a custom color from a mixer for menus and using a slider to determine its opacity. This isn’t quite a WindowBlinds level of customization, but it’s easy, and 99 percent of users will probably be thrilled with the results.

A revamped device management window takes much of the confusion out of connecting new gadgets. Simple devices like hard drives, thumb drives and webcams will mostly be automatically detected, and show up under this pane alongside other connected items like mice, keyboards and Wi-Fi adapters. Although we didn’t witness it in our demo, manufacturers will also be able to customize the windows with specific images and custom interfaces.

The new global search feature will undoubtedly become the new user’s best friend. It’s available as soon as you open the start menu (which otherwise exactly replicates Vista’s) and churns up results as soon as you start pouring in text, letter-by-letter. It most obviously eliminates the need to use deeply buried shortcuts – just type “photoshop” and you’re there – but because it searches so deeply, we found it even more useful elsewhere. For instance, we uncovered OS options much faster with search than by manually combing for them. Want to know how to customize the taskbar? Just type “taskbar” and the relevant control panel options all pop up in an instant – no need to root around looking for just the one want. Those with an aversion to keyboards can still click their way to what they need, but a little prudent searching removes a lot of bumbling around.

Performance
Though an impressive basket of extras went a long way in smoothing over our Vista misgivings, the real test came when we broke out the stopwatch and measured frame rates. After all, bells and whistles don’t go very far when they slow your computer to an unbearable chug. (We’ve learned that, right Microsoft?)
On paper, you wouldn’t really expect any major difference, based on the system requirements. Both Windows 7 and Vista demand a 1GHz processor, 1GB of memory, and the required hard drive space has swelled from 15GB to 16GB. That said, needing the same hardware can be considered progress when computers continue to get faster and cheaper every day. Any new machine on the market today should be able to handle Windows 7.
Racing both operating systems against each other on boot-up times proved that system requirements don’t mean everything. Windows 7 took us from our dual-boot menu to a working browser window opened on the desktop in 45 seconds. Vista did it in one minute and five seconds. That’s some significant progress.

Though we don’t have an actual metric to prove it, we can also attest – based on the impression of every DT editor who tried Windows 7 – that it definitely feels faster. Windows open and close quicker, menus snap open without delay, and that dreaded spinning wheel of blue that indicates the system is busy has been all but banished.

Game Time
Of course, the real test for Microsoft will be winning over gamers, an audience that almost universally shunned Vista for its negative impact on performance. When you’re dealing with audience willing to rip open their computers and cool them with water for an extra ounce of performance, all the glassy windows and widgets in the world just don’t matter.
And they won’t be disappointed this time around. Microsoft has vastly improved gaming performance with Windows 7. As you’ll recall from our HP Firebird review, the machine seemed to struggle with both MotoGP and Crysis at 1080p resolution when running Vista. Both games were technically playable, but in both cases we had to trim back other settings to get the smooth frame rates that make games enjoyable and fun to play.

Running the same games on Windows 7, we encountered no such issues. Same system, same games, same settings – no stutter. The big firefights that brought the Firebird to its knees in Crysis went over without issue, and MotoGP 08 played – with all settings maxed out – without a hiccup. Benchmarks didn’t really seem to bear out any improvement, though. Running 3DMark06 produced a score of 12,266 3DMarks, which is incredibly close to our original 12,297 from Vista. But we know a difference when we play it.

The Junker Test
Windows Vista notoriously strangled older PCs, but with the reputation for performance Windows 7 had started to garner, we couldn’t help but test it on the same aging, nearly-broken laptop we turned into a home media server. With a Pentium 4 processor and paltry 512MB of RAM, it wasn’t even technically over the minimum requirements, but we went ahead and pushed anyway. After installing new firmware for the DVD drive to get it to load, it miraculously worked. Unfortunately, it’s no substitute for Windows XP. Where XP could go from power button to desktop in 30 seconds on this machine, Windows 7 hit a much longer one minute and 23 seconds. It also seemed a bit more sluggish on the desktop, but to be fair, just idling ate up 44 percent of our RAM, so a rather inexpensive memory upgrade would probably improve performance significantly. We also have to give it credit for finding most of the drivers we needed on its own, including some notoriously finicky ones for an old Linksys PCMCIA card. Gamers need not apply, but for surfing, typing, and some light Solitaire, it actually worked. Will Windows 7 replace XP as the OS of choice on aging computers? Probably not. Will it work in a pinch, even on machines that shouldn’t even be able to run it? Unlike Vista, that answer is yes.

Still a Few Hiccups
Despite otherwise shining experience with Windows 7, we do feel obliged to report a few zingers it sent us during our days of testing. After changing themes, for instance, we found that the taskbar icons no longer worked until we reopened the windows. We also had Launcher.exe crash the first time we ran MotoGP 08, and some older software forced us out of Aero mode and into Windows Basic mode since it lacked support for it. So it goes. These are all minor inconveniences, and none of them significantly diminished our experience, or held us up from accomplishing anything important. Our biggest hang-up actually came from the wireless mouse included with HP’s Firebird, which sporadically stopped working every 10 minutes until we turned it off and on again.

Conclusion
With OS X Snow Leopard, innumerable different flavors of Linux and now Google’s own ChromeOS lining up to challenge Microsoft’s superiority in operating systems, its stranglehold on the market has never seemed more precarious. But let Windows 7 lay rumors of an OS coup d’état to rest. Like an old fascist dictator, Vista is officially dead and buried, and its successor is one you can actually warm up to. Microsoft has not only atoned for Vista’s grievances with vastly improved performance and fewer nags, a number of old standbys that no one was complaining about (like the task bar) have been reimagined and made better at the same time.

Pros:
  • Painless installation
  • Quick boot times
  • Reimagined, clutter-free taskbar
  • Vastly superior gaming performance
Cons:
  • Some users will still crave more customization
  • Windows XP still outshines on older systems

Hands-on: Jolicloud 1.0 makes Web apps equal desktop citizens

Hands-on: Jolicloud 1.0 makes Web apps equal desktop citizens



Jolicloud, a Web-centric Linux distribution for netbooks, reached an important milestone this week with the launch of version 1.0. The platform, built atop Ubuntu, offers intriguing synchronization capabilities and comes with its own distinctive user interface shell that is constructed with standards-based Web technologies
.
We first looked at Jolicloud last year when the original alpha version was made available for testing. The software has matured modestly since that early preview release, but there isn't quite enough differentiation from the underlying Ubuntu environment yet to make Jolicloud truly compelling. Still, it's definitely headed in the right direction.

Look and feel

Unlike the alpha version—which used Mozilla's Prism Web runtime environment and the classic Ubuntu Netbook Edition Launcher—Jolicloud 1.0 uses Chromium and provides its own launcher that is built with HTML5. It still uses some key components of the GNOME desktop environment, including the Nautilus file manager and the conventional GNOME panel.



The Jolicloud 1.0 look and feel is considerably more polished than previous versions. The launcher has a very smooth Web-like aesthetic with lots of gray gradients and shadows. The distro comes with a matching set of Gtk+ and Metacity themes that have a charcoal color scheme. The icons in the native applications look like a custom variant of the GNOME Colors collection, but tinted to match the blue shade of Jolicloud's cloud logo.

It's clear that serious effort went into designing the launcher and furnishing it with professional artwork. This is much more than just an aesthetic overhaul, because the change in style also brings some usability improvements. The result is an environment that looks impressive, but there is still some inconsistency between the appearance of the launcher and the native applications. That issue really highlights the limitations of native Gtk+ theming.

The launcher

Jolicloud's Web-centric philosophy puts Web applications front and center. The environment consists of a launcher and a software manager (built almost entirely with HTML) that presents native programs and Web applications as equals without distinction. When you "install" a Web application like Google Docs, the launcher will display an icon that can be clicked to load the associated webpage in its own process and chrome-less Chrome window.

You can switch between Twitter and Facebook windows, for example, as if they are individual applications. Users can also run the full Chromium Web browser for regular surfing. Native Linux applications, such as Pidgin and VLC, can be installed and used alongside the Web applications and used normally as you would on any conventional Linux distro.



The application manager is one of the key features of the Jolicloud launcher. It gives the user a listing of available native and Web software categorized by groups. When you click the "Add" button next to a native application, it will be installed from the package repository and will be made accessible from an icon in the launcher. Installing a Web application will simply add a launcher shortcut.




The application manager is social by design. The software is sorted by the number of "likes" each application has received from the Jolicloud user community. You can optionally choose to "follow" other individual users and see a stream of the software that they are liking. This stream is accessible by clicking the satellite icon in the launcher toolbar. The social networking features are still pretty slim and don't really offer any support for integrating with other social networks yet.



The "liking" mechanism would make a lot more sense if there was a way to broadcast it on Twitter or expose it through Facebook. In the long-term, I'd like to see Jolicloud's social features eventually evolve into something a bit like Wakoopa, but it's not really clear yet if that is the direction that Jolicloud is ultimately going.

The Jolicloud launcher has gained a storage interface in version 1.0, but it is very simplistic and doesn't do much. It provides shortcuts to several cloud storage services as well as your own local folders and drives. I tried clicking on the Dropbox item, but all it did was open up a Chromium window and load the page on the Dropbox website that displays your files. It was a bit anticlimactic, but I'm hoping for something more impressive in the future, like maybe a FUSE backend that lets you mount the remote storage services and interact with them through the launcher's interface.



When you click on one of the local folders or drives in the launcher, it will simply open up GNOME's Nautilus file manager. It's not particularly impressive, but it does have one nice touch: the drive page shows little pie charts next to each drive to indicate the remaining storage capacity.



Sync

One of the key features of Jolicloud is synchronization. The software lets you link multiple Jolicloud computers to your account and will keep your launcher configuration in sync between all of them. It keeps track of what software you have installed and the order in which you have arranged the launcher items.

When you install an item on one, it will be added to all of the Jolicloud computers that are linked to the account. The synchronization system doesn't appear to be using a push mechanism, however, so the updates aren't delivered instantly. You can force a system to synchronize by logging out and logging back in.

You can access your launcher configuration on any computer by visiting my.jolicloud.com, which provides a perfect replica of the Jolicloud launcher interface. You can even install software from the website and have it propagated to all of your Jolicloud computers. When you use the my.jolicloud.com site in a regular browser, you can click the Web shortcuts in the launcher to open the associated Web applications in new tabs.

The synchronization system is clever and implemented in a relatively intuitive and transparent way, but I'm not convinced that it's a killer feature. I doubt that a significant number of users have multiple netbooks, but the feature might have some practical value in cases where users want to buy a new netbook and migrate an existing Jolicloud software environment without having to manually install and configure their software.
It's worth noting that Canonical's OneConf system will soon bring similar software synchronization capabilities to Ubuntu One users.

Under the hood

Jolicloud is built on top of the Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) Netbook Edition. As many Ubuntu enthusiasts likely realize, version 9.04 is quite old now and will reach its end-of-life in October—meaning that Canonical will no longer support it with updates. It's a bit puzzling that Jolicloud would choose to issue its own 1.0 release on top of Jaunty instead of rebuilding on top of the more recent Ubuntu 10.04 (Lucid), which will have a longer three-year support cycle.

Jolicloud is designed to cater to non-technical users, but Linux enthusiasts will be pleased to learn that the underlying system is still largely intact and easily accessible. It uses APT for package management and provides full access to Ubuntu's standard main and universe package repositories in addition to its own official Jolicloud repository. It also has a few PPAs plugged into the APT sources list with backports of newer versions of popular applications like Pidgin and OpenOffice.org.

Conclusions

There are a lot of good ideas on display in Jolicloud 1.0, but the nascent product still feels incomplete. If the company behind Jolicloud can expand on the current implementation and fill in some of the gaps, it has the potential to be a real winner. I like where they are taking the user experience and I think that there are a lot of great things that they can do to make the launcher richer if they take full advantage of HTML's inherent strengths.

The real challenge will be continuing to expand the scope of Jolicloud's differentiating features while keeping pace with Ubuntu and ensuring that Jolicloud users will benefit from Ubuntu's steady stream of new features.
Some of the tech
nologies that Canonical is developing for Ubuntu's own Unity environment (particularly the D-Bus-powered messaging indicators and application indicators) could potentially make it much easier for third parties like Jolicloud to ditch the conventional GNOME panel and integrate the underlying functionality into their own custom user experience in a more seamless way. It would be great to see the functionality of Ubuntu's messaging indicators, for example, woven seamlessly into the Jolicloud launcher.

Linux enthusiasts and existing Ubuntu users don't really have much reason to adopt Jolicloud yet. Ubuntu's own Unity environment is more sophisticated and has much better integration between native applications and the underlying platform. Jolicloud is possibly a better choice, however, if you are more interested in Web applications than native applications.

In my original review of the alpha release, I remarked that Jolicloud could potentially be a good choice for OEMs that are looking for a more intuitive and Web-centric Linux platform to ship on netbooks. That still holds true for version 1.0.

Instant Spyware Removal Software Review - How Can I Fix a Spyware Infection?

Spyware is a malicious program which can install and activate itself into computer system without your consent. It acts like a human spy and a real destructor. It can automatically gather your information so as to deliver them to a remote controller. Worse, to achieve its illegal purpose, it will installs additional programs/ add-ons on the computer, reset computer settings, modify Windows registry during the collection. As a result, your computer will be cluttered, leaving you with slow internet connection, strange error messages, or even frequent freezing computer screen. But how are users infected by spyware?

Sometimes spyware will come along as a utility program when users are installing some unfamiliar system packages. This is why your new computer is getting slow after a certain period.

Spyware also comes with bundled freeware and shareware. As many PC users prefer to install the programs directly without disabling any useless utility. But that is the major channels to spread spyware. Besides, spyware can also get into windows system when the PC user surfing a certain Web page which is controlled by spyware authors
.
Other computer virus on the computer is also a cause for the spyware infection. Because when a computer is infected by viruses, crucial system core files and mechanism will be destructive but this can pave much easier way for the spyware infection.

However, knowing how the spyware occur is far from enough. To stop and avoid the spyware infection, you need to run an Instant Spyware Removal Tool which can thoroughly scan all the spyware infection and block the future spyware intrusion.
An Instant Spyware Removal also can tweak common.exe/dll/runtime errors and boost computer speed eventually.

SlashGear Review 2010

Welcome to this week’s better late than never edition of the Week in Review! Monday we learned that HTC was planning to move from the hard to get Super AMOLED screen for its Desire and Nexus One smartphones to a Super LCD. The catch is that both screens will be used and apparently, there will be no way for the buyer to tell what screen they are getting.

HTC Desire Review SlashGear 16 540x499



Acer’s Stream smartphone has been graced with an official launch date for the UK. The Stream will launch on August 9 and pack a 1GHz Snapdragon CPU and a 5MP camera. The handset will cost the equivalent of $615 in the UK. A sweet new camera app was unveiled Monday that takes photos people shoot at the same angle as historical photos and superimposes the historical photos over the top. The software was invented at MIT.
LG announced this week that it can’t meet the demand from Apple for screens of the iPad and iPhone. Despite that fact, LG is apparently thinking about making production cutbacks and says meeting demand won’t happen until 2011. The DMCA was updated early in the week and ruled that jailbreaking and unlocking of smartphones like the iPhone was legal under fair use. This may bring the unlocking firms that are underground into the limelight.
Apple says that the DMCA might say jailbreaking is legal, but if you do so you will lose your warranty. Apple stays says users shouldn’t jailbreak their devices. A video of the HTC smartphones comparing the AMOLED screen and Super LCD screens turned up Tuesday. The displays are said to be consistent with each other.

The Apple Magic Trackpad was unveiled Tuesday. The device had been rumored for a while and is a gesture supporting Bluetooth trackpad for desktop computers. Apple also unveiled a new AA battery charger. Apple claims that the charger has the lowest amount of “vampire draw” of any charger at only 30 milliwatts.

Apple added a new 27-inch LED backlit Cinema Display to its lineup. The screen will ship in August for $999. Along with the new display Apple also updated the Mac Pro desktop computer. The machine gets dual 6-core Xeon X5670 CPUs.

Intel announced that it has made a breakthrough in Photonics. The breakthrough let Intel Labs reach data transfer speeds of 50Gbps using light to send the signals. Panasonic announced that it would be offering a 3D lens for its line of Lumix G cameras. The lens puts two lens elements into one lens body and uses software to make the two images into a 3D image.

Panasonic went official with its HDC-SDT750 3D camcorder. The camcorder is the first consumer 3D camcorder and will ship in October for $1400. A geek has come up with his own wearable computer DIY style. The wearable machine is very geeky and uses a Beagleboard and wireless keyboard with a display mounted on a pair of glasses.

Wednesday we posted up our review of the Apple Magic Trackpad. Vince found a lot to like with the thing and recommends it highly. A crazy 125-piece puzzle turned up that hides parts for a fully functioning firearm. Some of the parts go together to build a strange looking single shot pistol.
Thursday Parrot announced a ship date and price of its long anticipated AR.Drone flying machine. The AR.Drone will ship on September 3 for $299 and can be pre-ordered right now. iFixit did its teardown thing with the Apple Magic Trackpad Thursday. There were surprisingly few parts inside the thin trackpad.

The HTC Evo 4G is set to get an update to Android 2.2. The updates will start rolling out on August 3.

Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has vowed that iPad competitors are coming. The competitors will undoubtedly be Widows 7 though lots of Android tablets are on the horizon too. The Motorola Droid is getting an Android update to version 2.2. The update should go out OTA next week. Thanks for reading this week’s edition!

What The Heck Is Computer Registry Cleaner Software?

To put it succinctly, pc registry cleaner software are programs which will increase the speed of your pc, deal with computer problems, and prevent brand new errors from appearing. These kind of software programs achieve this mainly by cleaning and restoring your computer’s registry. But what’s a pc registry, you might ask?

In the Windows operating system, the registry is the pumping heart that runs every thing. It is essentially a database in which your computer system stores all the configurations your computer system must have to operate the pc. This includes, amongst other things, the particular configuration settings for all of the various computer applications you have got installed, all of the equipment inside of or attached to your computer system, and the personalized preferences of all of the computer’s different users. Registry cleaner software will help keep this beating heart in good health.

Whenever your computer system performs a job, regardless how little, it’s got to read the computer registry for details to be able to do it. If your pc registry is really clean, compressed, and efficient, then your computer system will run smoothly. However, if your pc registry is cluttered, full, and damaged, then your computer system is going to operate sluggishly and be prone to glitches. This is when pc registry cleaner software will come in handy.

Unfortunately, the more you use your computer, the bigger your pc registry gets. Every single time you install completely new computer application, install a new hardware component (such as a digicam or even a computer printer), or set up a new pc operator, completely new data is actually added to the computer system registry. If you uninstall software, disconnect a device, or eliminate a computer user, that data is not always erased from the computer system registry. Perhaps now you are able to understand why pc registry cleaner software is needed.

In case you don’t utilize registry cleaner software, then over time, the registry can become bloated with worthless data, such as obsolete entries, orphaned data, and even blank entries. All of this registry junk slows your pc because it has to search through a significantly larger pc registry to locate the actual info that it needs to perform any given activity. Keep in mind that your computer system runs hundreds of tasks per minute
.
This can lead to a number of difficulties with your pc that get progressively worse. It starts off with your computer system slowing down. It may take longer than before to boot up, power down, run an application, or just search the web. Thankfully, computer registry cleaner software will help solve these kinds of problems.
Registry cleaning software helps to keep your computer in top shape by maintaining the registry. First of all, it looks through your registry looking for useless entries, such as obsolete records, orphaned data, and even empty entries, and deletes them. This makes your pc registry compact, and therefore your computer system a lot quicker. It’s quicker simply because it takes your computer much less time to search through a smaller sized pc registry database to locate the information that it needs.

The normal registry cleaning software program is really a small, simple to work with program that you can operate with just a couple clicks of the mouse. It’s also pretty inexpensive, a tiny price to pay for a clean, productive pc. Registry cleaner software is an easy solution to dramatically increase the lifespan of your computer.

Is your pc sick? Does your personal computer registry need cleaning? In that case take action now. You’ll get a hold of the best registry cleaner right here.

4 Simple Tips to Speed Up Your Computer

Most computer users are eventually faced with a slow and less responsive computer after only a couple of months of use. The reason for this is simple daily computer activity like creating and deleting files, installing and uninstalling software, browsing the Internet, and so on. Some people, especially computer novices, start wondering whether their computer is already out of date and they need a new one. Others call a computer technician and ask him to upgrade whatever there is to upgrade.
Fortunately, there is a faster and a cheaper way to recover lost speed and make your PC running as good as new. Here are four simple tips that will help you make your computer fast again.

1. Time for Spring-cleaning
Computers are a bit like your living space - if you don't cleanup, they accumulate junk and become a real mess. In the case of computers it's junk files - temporary Internet files, software uninstall leftovers, old backups, log files and many others. In addition to that you may have lots of space taken up by unnecessary copies, like songs you've downloaded twice and saved to different folders.
Junk files and duplicates usually take up lots of disk space, which slows down file access, antivirus scans, and generally decreases computer performance.
The answer is to use a disk cleaner (Windows has an inbuilt one) at least once a month and use a duplicate file finding software every other month.

2. Fix registry errors
Another source of computer debris is the registry. Programs on your computer access the Windows registry thousands of times per second. Registry entries are created whenever you install new software and drivers for your hardware, and when you uninstall programs invalid registry entries can be left behind. The more registry errors there are, the slower your computer is.
That's why you need to maintain the registry's health and run a reliable registry cleaner every once in a while, especially when you uninstall programs. Windows doesn't have an inbuilt one, but there are many good free registry cleaners available for download. Just make sure you choose the one that backs up the registry before making any changes.

3. Defrag your hard drives
Even computer novices have heard that defragmentation can significantly speed up a slow system. That's because hard drives are the slowest part of your computer. So, when there are a lot of fragmented files, your drive's read and write heads have to move a lot more than if the drive is defragmented. The more the heads need to move, the more time it takes to open a file.
Windows has a built-in disk defragmenter. However, there are great third-party alternatives, like the one that is part of Auslogics BoostSpeed 5, that can not only defrag files, but also consolidate free space and optimize file placement.

4. Optimize Windows settings
There are loads of different hardware configurations out there, but only one Windows operating system to fit them all. Of course, there are different versions of Windows, but they all have the "one size fits all" approach. This means that no matter how good or how bad is your hardware, Windows settings are the same by default. That's why some less powerful computers and especially netbooks can really struggle. Usually, you can speed up your computer by optimizing Windows settings and services either manually (which is risky and very difficult) or with the help of an optimization tool, like Auslogics BoostSpeed 5, that will analyze your system and offer the best tweaks to speed it up and improve computer performance.

So, if you want your computer to be fast and responsive, you have to follow three simple rules - keep it clean, defragmented, and optimized. All this can be done manually, but it's too hard if you are a novice user and takes a lot of time. Besides, fiddling with the registry and some settings is dangerous and can make your computer unbootable. That's why it's better to use a reliable software optimization package that offers one-click maintenance, like the new Auslogics BoostSpeed 5.

Remember, looking after your computer and performing regular maintenance is always easier than solving problems when they occur.

CyberDefender Integrates New IVR, ACD, and CX Technologies in Call Centers to Support Company Growth

New Call Routing System and Customer Experience Solutions to Enable Increased Call Volume and Growth in New Customers 

LOS ANGELES, Jul 22, 2010 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- CyberDefender Corporation [NASDAQ: CYDE], a provider of Internet security software, utilities and Live PC Support services that work together to maximize online safety for consumers, today announced that it is integrating a new call center phone system and is installing customer experience (CX) software to better serve its growing software and technical support customer base. 

CyberDefender expects that these new technologies will enable it to increase its call center volume by tenfold and provide adequate infrastructure for more than 1,000 additional agents, supporting the company's customer growth initiatives. Integration of the telephony and CX solution is expected to be complete by the end of 3rd Quarter 2010. 

The CX solution from RightNow Technologies [NASDAQ: RNOW] is a cloud-based, best-of-breed customer experience solution for organizations enabling superior interactions across web, social, and contact center touchpoints. RightNow CX will give CyberDefender a 360-degree view of its call centers, allowing agents to track and analyze all customer interactions. In addition, RightNow CX will provide CyberDefender with other advanced technologies, including web self service, knowledgebase integration, incident tracking and cloud monitoring for customer communications via social media channels such as Facebook, YouTube and many others.
Communications-as-a-Service ("CaaS") from Interactive Intelligence provides CyberDefender with complete multichannel routing and queuing for all four CyberDefender call centers, located in Los Angeles, Syracuse, Philippines and India. Use of the CaaS offering will help drive down toll-free origination costs, which is expected to result in a 20 percent per month cost savings for CyberDefender. In addition, CyberDefender expects that the Interactive Intelligence hosted interactive voice response (IVR), automatic call distributor (ACD), call recording and other advanced telephony capabilities will bring long-term savings to CyberDefender. 

"The integration of these two advanced systems is intended to enable us to accommodate more than 1,000 call center agents, handle significantly higher call volume and achieve increased economies of scale from our call center operations," said Jeff Gove, SVP, CyberDefender Call Center Operations. "Throughout 2010 we grew our North America based call center operations significantly, as revenue from our call centers and remote PC repair services continues to be a key driver of growth. As such, the company is not only focused on new customer acquisition, but on building out our call centers to be as cost effective and as scalable as possible. Now we have the core infrastructure components to achieve these goals," Gove continued.
"Today we have over 225 agents in our downtown Los Angeles in-house call center, and expect to continue to grow our onshore operations," concluded Gove.

Software Review: WindowBlinds 7

Are you bored with the default look of windows. If you like to bring some excitement to your ancient XP desktop?  WindowBlinds is the leader in tweaking and Theming Windows.

The Aero interface in Vista let you change your glass color, and Windows 7 introduced the new vibrant themes, but still, Windows only lets you mildly change how your desktop looks.  If you’d like to entirely change how your computer looks, WindowBlinds is your answer.  The latest version takes the best of Aero, and lets you tweak it even more with custom textures and transparencies.
Key Features
· Add textures and tweak transparency in Aero themes in Windows 7 and Vista
· Modernize XP with Aero-style themes, including transparency and blur effects
· Make Windows 7 and Vista look like XP or older versions of Windows to help users transition to the new OS
· Download and run thousands of themes to tweak Windows
Installation
WindowBlinds is slightly difficult to get installed.  If you’re trying out the 30 day trial version, you simply install it like any other application.
clip_image001
If you’ve purchased WindowBlinds or are upgrading to the full version, you’ll first need to install Impulse.
clip_image002
You’ll then need to create a new account or login with an existing one before you can start installing applications.
clip_image003
On first run, you’ll be prompted to enter programs you’ve already purchased from Stardock.  If you haven’t purchased WindowBlinds yet, simply click Cancel.
clip_image004
Click the Explore tab, and search for WindowBlinds.  You can now click Add To Cart to purchase it directly from Impulse.  You can also purchase a wide variety of other applications and games from Impulse, so the search box may be the easiest way to find WindowBlinds.
clip_image005
Once you’ve purchased WindowBlinds or added an existing product key, you can select it in the My Software section and click Install.
clip_image006
WindowBlinds will then automatically download and install without any more clicks.  At least this portion of the installation is easy.  Once it’s installed, you can run it as normal from the Start menu.
clip_image007
By default, the Impulse installer will load every time you start your computer.  If you’d rather not have it running, right-click on its icon in the taskbar and select Settings.
clip_image008
Now uncheck the Load Impulse Now on Startup, and click Ok.  WindowBlinds and other applications you may have installed with Impulse will still work as normal even if its not running.
clip_image009
Features and Use
On your first run, WindowBlinds will offer to take you through a tour.  Click next to step through the introduction of WindowBlinds 7’s features, or click the X button in the top right corner to close the guide.
clip_image010
WindowBlinds 7 is very easy to use.  You’ll see your current desktop in a preview at the top, and can then select from a variety of pre-made themes in the bottom tab bar.
image
Once you select a new theme, you’re preview at the top will update with the new style.
image
The second tab lets you select alternate styles of the theme.  Generally, if there are styles available for different versions of Windows, select the one for the version of Windows you’re running.
image
Get the exact color you want your window boarders to be with the Colours tab.
image
Most exciting is the Textures tab.  There you can select and and preview a variety of textures on the standard Aero glass theme.  This is a great way to customize your Windows look while maintaining the standard Windows feel.
image
The transparency tab lets you make your window borders, Start menu, and menus as transparent or opaque as you like.  If you’re running a legacy theme, click the Vista-ize me button to switch to an Aero-style level of transparency.  This works on Windows XP as well, so you can use WindowBlinds to modernize your aging XP desktop.
sshot-2010-07-22-[10-56-06]
WindowBlinds is also a great tool for finding the wallpaper you want.  You can select wallpapers based on rating or predominant color.
clip_image011
Once you’ve picked all the settings you want, click Apply in the top left corner.  Your desktop will fade out for a few moments, and then you’ll be presented with your brand new desktop!
image
Look and Feel
WindowBlinds 7’s greats feature is its ability to add textures and tweaks to the default Aero theme.  The Aero tweaks worked the very best in our experience, and also used the least additional system resources.  The new Aero textures work great even with applications that use Aero in unique ways such as Office 2010.
clip_image013
The textures can range from the subtitle metal and plaid effects to the dramatic, such as this texture that added grape vines to our Start menu!
clip_image014
Want a sandstorm on your desktop, or would you prefer wooden windows?  With WindowBlinds, all these effects are only a click away.
clip_image015
But, you don’t have to stick with the Aero look and feel if you don’t want.  The included Sabertooth theme makes Windows look very similar to Mac OS X, complete with Aqua-style scroll bars and the more dramatic drop shadow.  If you’re a Windows user but have been jealous of the Mac look, this could be a way have the best of both worlds!
clip_image016
If you’re running WindowBlinds on Windows XP, you can use the included Diamond theme to make XP look similar to Vista or 7.  Note that this theme includes a radically different taskbar, so if you’d like it to look more like 7 you may want to try out other Aero-style themes from the theme gallery (link below).
clip_image017
You can even import legacy XP themes into Windows 7 or Vista with the free MS Style Converter (link below).  Here’s Windows 7 running the standard XP Bliss theme, which makes Windows 7 look almost perfectly like an updated version of XP.  There are many other themes available for download from Stardock that make your computer look like it’s running a different or older OS, so be sure to check them out if you’d like to take your UI back in time.
clip_image018
Or, for the really adventurous, WindowBlinds lets you make your computer look like no other.  There are thousands of wild and exciting themes available online for WindowBlinds that can entirely customize your Windows experience.  If you’re feeling creative, you can even get started tweaking and designing themes with the free or Pro version of SkinStudio (link below).
clip_image019
Performance
When you apply theme changes, your desktop will fade out and you’ll see an over-sized Aero wait orb.  Switching to another Aero theme style only takes a few seconds, so you can make a change and then quickly get back to work.
clip_image020
Other themes may include a different loading indicator.  It often takes longer to load these themes, and your taskbar may flicker or look discolored as it’s loading the new style.  We found that 3rd party themes were the most likely to take longer to load, though this could have just been because we were loading more advanced themes.
clip_image021
Some themes may include extra window effects, such as rolling up the window when you double-click on the title-bar.  These can be helpful tweaks, but if you don’t like them, you can always turn them off or tweak them as you want from the Settings dialog.  The Settings dialog includes several other options that may improve performance on your computer, so if you’re having problems with a theme be sure to check it.  However, in our experience, this was not usually necessary.
clip_image022
We noticed several glitches with non-Aero themes on Windows 7, especially on new applications with the ribbon such as the new Live Essentials and bundled Windows 7 applications like WordPad.  Some 3rd party themes even crashed applications, so you may want to stick with the more stable bundled themes or customized Aero.
clip_image023
Additionally, some legacy and imported themes seemed to not work fully correct, such as the imported XP theme missing the Windows logo and Start on the start button.
clip_image024
Conclusion
No matter what you want your computer to look like, WindowBlinds is the perfect way to make Windows match your style.  The latest version ups the bar with full Aero support, and we really enjoyed using different textures in the standard Aero theme.  WindowBlinds 7 was much more stable than earlier version have been; you can just set a theme and forget you’re using anything special.
WindowBlinds 7 is available as a free, feature-limited 30 day trial, and then a full version costs $19.95.  Alternately, if you own a previous version of WindowBlinds, you can upgrade to the latest version for $9.99.  WindowBlinds, as mentioned before, is available for instant purchase and download online, so you can get started theming Windows very quickly.
Works with Windows XP, Vista, and 7.
