Windows 7 already beating Vista in Performance Test.

BY: JD

Many people have heard that Windows 7 is going to be coming in the next couple of years and the beta is coming out soon (though there are leaks.) From the start Vista has been a slow and fat resource hog that has not been accepted as well as Microsoft would like.

In the IT / Technology world most everyone is striving to make thing faster and better; as you will see in this article by Adrian Kingsley-Hughes of ZDNet explains Windows 7 looks very promising.

Couple of High points in the test:

  • Faster boot times 
  • Better performance in 3 out of the 4 benchmarks he did.  

He does state that this is a prebeta and performance could change, but he also says that compared to the vista beta, this is much better.

I’m excited :)

Wordpress 2.7 – Love It!

BY: JD

Just uploaded 2.7 and I love it! back-end looks awesome. I am using the QuickPress feature right now. Looks great! I will give my full review later.

I have been playing with 2.7 for a little bit now, I have not read the release notes yet but so far so good.  First thing most everyone will notice is the admin panel.  The design of the back/admin panel is great, very refreshing.  Drop down menus that are js, give a very smooth feel to using the navigation.  Plugins seems a bit different is shows you recently activated that have been deactivated. 

For the couple of ours I have used it, I have no complaints, and I would suggest this upgrade to everyone.  

Image adding is nice, you can click on the image when your posting and resize it with % 

Wordpress.org really did a great job!
