Speed is a Feature – Further Thoughts on Windows 8

Speed is a Feature – Further Thoughts on Windows 8

By James Governor on September 30, 2011

I noticed a tweet from Get Satisfaction marketing dude Jeff Nolan recently about the Google advantage – namely speed as a feature = which reminded me of a post of the same name a couple of years ago from my founding partner Stephen O’Grady, which led to me thinking about the performance engineering work Microsoft demonstrated […]

Conspiracy Theory: the Vista-ization of Windows 7 has Started…

Conspiracy Theory: the Vista-ization of Windows 7 has Started…

By Zoli Erdos on May 8, 2011

Three years ago I wrote: Windows Seven in 2010. Does Anyone Still Care? I simply don’t get it: Vista is barely out, nobody seems to like it, CIO’s refuse to upgrade, analyst firms tell them to wait, individual users who tried it switch back to XP, others time their new PC purchase so they can […]

McAfee.com sleeps through its nightmare scenario

McAfee.com sleeps through its nightmare scenario

By Phil Wainewright on April 22, 2010

About ten years ago, I met with the then CIO of McAfee.com, Doug Cavit (who later joined Microsoft as chief security strategist). The thing that most kept him awake at night, he told me then, was the risk of a third party piggy-backing onto McAfee’s own trusted access into its customers’ PCs. As a long-term […]

How to Use Picasa on Multiple Computers – The Updated Definitive Guide Part 2: the Solution

How to Use Picasa on Multiple Computers – The Updated Definitive Guide Part 2: the Solution

By Zoli Erdos on January 30, 2010

This is going to be a fairly detailed how-to guide, so if you are not using Google’s Picasa program, you’ll probably find it boring – and if you are, I strongly suggest you start at Part 1, where we define the problem (Picasa being hopelessly single-user, single-PC focused), why earlier solutions, whether sync-based or network […]

How to Use Picasa on Multiple Computers - The Updated Definitive Guide Part 1: the Problem

How to Use Picasa on Multiple Computers – The Updated Definitive Guide Part 1: the Problem

By Zoli Erdos on January 25, 2010

My 4-year old how-to guide, Picasa Photo Sync on Multiple Computers has attracted tens of thousands of viewers, and is still quite popular.  In fact too popular, thanks to Google.  I can’t believe people actually read it today and try to follow the advice therein… it’s and OLD post with outdated information.  I’ve long struggled […]

Windows 7 Year Gap and Why They Can't Catch Up

Windows 7 Year Gap and Why They Can’t Catch Up

By Anshu Sharma on November 1, 2009

Finally, Windows 7 is out and reviews are mixed but better than Vista – generally seen as vast improvement over Vista (which was accepted by Steve Ballmer as work in progress or worse). But this is not what this post is about. Even if Microsoft built p…

Why Windows 7 Will Be a Success, Whether Good or Not

Why Windows 7 Will Be a Success, Whether Good or Not

By Zoli Erdos on October 8, 2009

Windows 7 hasn’t even arrived yet but the speculation started: What’s wrong with Windows 7.  To be fair, the speculation is fueled by an unlikely source: Steve Ballmer himself.  He is trying to manage a potential fallout by warning us: “’The test feedback (on Windows 7) has been good, but the test feedback on Vista […]
