XP extended to at least 2010 on Asus EEE style computers
Credit By: Neil Berman
Michael Dix's announcement on Thursday that Microsoft would now offer Windows XP Home until at least June 30th 2010 tells us one thing: the Redmond giant is getting more sensitive to its little customers.The message behind the April 3rd statement seems clear: Microsoft is nervous of losing a whole market to Linux and Google-apps-cloud-style computing. That market is what Dix called the ULCPC (Ultra Low Cost Personal Computer), which includes the amazingly popular Linux-powered Asus EEE, Everex Cloudbook and forthcoming models rumoured to be on the way from Acer and HP amongst others.In the past I think Microsoft might have just said, 'our current platform is Vista, make your hardware better'. However on this occasion market forces led to the creation of a more viable option. Most EEE buyers are probably happy with the price/power/battery trade-off in the unit. I know I am. Would I pay another few hundred bucks for a same size, same screened EEE with enough power to run Vista? No way.So Microsoft will now continue offering XP Home to OEMs of ULCPCs for the next few years. Good decision, and well done for responding to customer opinion. Dix said there is no intention to extend the sales period similarly for other XP versions. In any case, Vista sales have just reached one hundred million licenses so I would not expect the other versions to get a further extension.Microsoft's statement was swiftly followed by Asus announcing that they would start selling an XP-powered EEE on April 9th, priced at $400. The specs are believed to be identical to the existing 4G model, only this time some of the nice bits, such as the webcam, are more likely to work out of the box with applications like Skype. According to Laptop Magazine, XP boots in 40 secs on the EEE. That's pretty quick for XP. Asus is going to sell bucketloads of these.A few weeks ago Microsoft reinstated support for certain legacy file formats in Office 2007, following requests from the user community. I would expect that users of those legacy formats (mainly Office 97) are already strong candidates to move to OpenOffice or Google Docs. Perhaps this reversal from Redmond might keep them on side for a little longer.Is there a trend emerging here? Perhaps the giant is feeling like some dwarf's are getting taller.

The little door which opens on the right hand side reveals limited connectivity options. One USB port, a mini-DVI port and a headphone output. Pretty weak, but the USB port can be converted to an ethernet connection using an optional accessory and further USB ports could be gained through a hub.
There's a mini-DVI to VGA adaptor included in the box. The optical drive is an extra $99, but remote disc (which allows access to the optical drive of a Mac or PC), is included.
Placing the Air directly on top of my MacBook proves that apart from the thickness, the two laptops share similar width and length dimensions.


The MagSafe power connection is very solid, better than the current MacBook. What happens if we pull it out...? The fully charged battery calculates remaining runtime as 3h 43m. Not bad, but not the quoted 5h, and I'm not even doing anything with the laptop. Start the envelope advert running and battery life drops instantly to 2h 27m.

A free article on Hardware

Two of the best manufacturers of CPU processors are Intel and AMD Athlon. These two companies have been raging war against each other ever since AMD Athlon beat Intel to releasing a 64bit processor. But despite this, AMD Athlon computers have not completely won the battle yet. The two companies have been trying to beat the competitor in terms of price, clock speed or performance, power consumption and heat production. There have been processor releases one after the other from these companies, making CPU processor shopping even more difficult. The good thing though with this war between Intel and AMD Athlon is that we are given an array of the best processors.AMD Athlon computers have been around for a while now. They started with the release of the Athlon classic x86 processor way back when Intel’s Pentium 3 was the market leader. AMD Athlon’s first processor barely touched Intel’s market then. But in 2000, AMD Athlon dropped a bomb on Intel by releasing its Thunderbird processor. This time, AMD Athlon computers gained the market leader title over Intel’s Pentium 3. And ever since then, AMD Athlon has been competitively coming up with processors that seem to match, if not over perform Intel processors.Let’s talk about speed!If you are on the look out for a processor, you will probably check how AMD Athlon processors match with Intel’s in terms of price and performance. Over the years, AMD Athlon has continually tried to improve its clock speed and other features. Current AMD Athlon processors are the 64 x2 series and 64 fx series. The 64 x2 series offers a clock speed range from 2.3 GHz and 3.0 GHz while the 64 fx series offers a clock speed range from 2.6 GHz to 3.0 GHz. AMD Athlon may not always match or over perform every Intel processor but the latest processor did. The fx -74 processor out performs Intel’s Core 2 Extreme QX6700, with a 3.00 GHz clock speed compared to the latter’s slower 2.66GHz speed.The Price FactorSince AMD Athlon is the newer brand, it is only natural that they offer affordable prices. In fact, all their prices are lesser compared to Intel’s. The AMD Athlon 64 x2 series for instance is lower priced, between $170 and $500, compared to Intel Core 2 Duo series which are priced between $180 and $600. AMD Athlon processors are definitely more affordable, although the latest 64 fx - 74 is equally priced to its Intel counterpart.Diversifying to Smaller ProcessorsAMD Athlon has also touched the market of notebook processors, with the Turion Series and the Mobile Athlon XP. To fit a notebook’s size, these types of processors are basically smaller, has lower heat production and power consumption.Choosing the Right ProcessorAlthough speed and price are important factors to consider when you buy processors, your PC usage should be the first determining factor. Why would you go for a high-speed processor when your PC usage won’t reach that speed? If your PC use is limited to word processing and internet surfing only, choosing from the list of AMD Athlon processors will have no difference. However, if you use your PC for high-speed computer games that requires faster clock-speed, you may want to check the top part of the AMD Athlon computers list.Moreover, you may also want to consider buying cooling fans if you go with high-speed processors. Although AMD Athlon processors are manufactured to have lower heat production, cooling fans will help cool the processors more effectively especially if you plan to over-clock your CPU.

What are Runtime errors? There are many signs that your computer may have problems with the registry, and one of these is the display of runtime error messages. Your system may also seem sluggish and slow, you may not be able to remove programs correctly, the system crashes frequently, or you may experience problems with startup and shutdowns. The blue screen of death is another sign that there are registry problems, and this screen can strike fear into the hearts of many users because of the severity of the problem. This does not have to be the case though.There are steps you can take to get rid of runtime errors, clean your system and registry, and optimize the performance and speed of your PC. First evaluate the programs you have installed on your PC, and make sure that they are all needed. Sometimes you get software bundles installed on a new computer that you may not want or need, and removing these programs will make your computer more efficient and stop some of the runtime errors. There may be a number of programs that you have never used, and these just clutter up your computer and slow it down.Easy Ways To Stop Runtime ErrorsRun disk cleanup on your system. Disk cleanup is a Windows utility program that will scan the disk and remove any unused programs and fragments, optimizing the efficiency of your system while stopping runtime errors. With disk cleanup there is no need to download, install, and use a separate program, because disk cleanup is included in the operating system files for Windows. This utility may take some time to run, but it will also allow you to delete temporary files and stored Internet pages as well. This step will prevent some of the runtime errors.Check your computer for viruses, trojans, worms, and spyware. These malicious software programs can change your settings and configurations, do physical damage to your disk and other hardware, slow down your PC considerably, and cause runtime errors to occur frequently. A quality anti virus program, along with an anti spyware program, will go a long way towards eliminating runtime errors, while protecting your system and increasing the security. With all of the harmful software out there, it pays to do a little preventative work beforehand.The best way to get rid of runtime errors is to use a registry cleaner to clean your registry. These software programs make this important chore fast and simple, removing any unnecessary file fragments that may clog up your registry. This not only causes these errors but will affect the speed and performance of your system. It is never recommended to manually edit the registry, because there is a high risk of deleting the wrong key or entry, and if this happens an error message may be the least of your problems.A registry cleaner will repair and eliminate the runtime errors that show up, while improving the performance of your PC and making it run faster. This software will allow you to clean your registry in almost no time, with none of the risks that come with manual editing. With these programs, Runtime errors will be stopped.

Registry Cleaners

Registry CleanersThere are thousands of software products available to us today which make life easy. We install a number of these software products as and when we need them. After sometime the software that we installed becomes obsolete or renders to be of no use to us. When we want to clear up some space in our hard disk, we uninstall some of the software products that we no longer use. It has been noticed that when we run the uninstallers they do not remove all the files belonging to the software. There are some residual files that are left behind in the registry. These residual orphan files may interfere with the performance of the system and may even cause the computer to crash. To avoid such mishaps there are registry cleaning software tools. The registry cleaners clear all the unwanted files from our computer. Registry cleaners help in improving the system performance as it removes the redundant and unnecessary files from the registry. It is always good to use the registry cleaners when you find your computer to be unstable, slow and after uninstalling any software. There are a number registry cleaners available in the market. Some of them paid and others free. When you opt to use free software, make sure that you are not putting yourself to security risks. When we use our computers daily we can get frustrated when it fails to function properly or becomes unstable. In our frustration we may frantically get on to the internet and download all possible free software to clean our system registry. When we are so desperate we may even download some harmful software or malicious software which may lead to serious security risks or hard disk crashes. By allowing a third party software that is not properly designed can sometimes delete required system files and not all of us know which files are needed and which files are not needed. Most often our knowledge is limited to clicking ‘Yes” or “No” in the confirmation dialogue box. At least for some of us many a times we are not sure what exactly our “Yes” or “No” means. Some people will habitually click the “Yes” button and some of us do just the opposite. In such a scenario we may not be well versed with the registry files. Using unreliable third party software can turn out to be a gateway for viruses, Trojans and other suspicious applications to enter our hard disk as we cannot be certain what a particular software is doing at the background. This can make your PC an easy target for those intruders who wait to pry into other people’s computers to steal valuable personal data. Some times the free software that you use can just be used as a medium of advertisements. So you must exercise extra caution while using any such software. Even while using some trusted software you must learn to understand the how it works and the files that you should not delete etc. You can find a lot of resources on online that will help you with the required information.
