October 26th: Leivo, Brown, and Rielly Are Lighting It Up

Someone needs to tell him his contract is being honored – all contracts are subject to CBA changes. 

Thanks for the updates Whalz, the kids on fire….could be a steal for BB if he keeps this pace up……

I have no interest in Win 8.  In fact, I bought a new computer from Dell 3 days ago…for my cottage…while Win 7 is still available.

My laptop came with vista, and I got sick and tired of the cracks on my hacked 7.
No issues so far, found all the drivers on a four year old machine. Pretty cool new look and about 10 gigs lighter than windows 7.

I read quite a bit about it, and there’s definitely going to be a learning curve compared to any of the others. So far I like it, for $40 I wont cry to hard if it does. lol

No touch screen here you put the mouse in each corner and and different options appear, start screen is for all the apps, from the start screen choose desk top and you get your windows 7 computer from there, seems snappier though. If you can down load an up grade for $14 and just hold onto it I would.

LOL…I refuse to get suckered into Win 8.  Not gonna do it.  Then again, I’m a pothead…so I’m not down with too much change at one time (insert smiley face here).  Time will tell with Win 8.  I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a bit of a backlash though.  It will take awhile for it to filter through society.  XP was fine and 7 wasn’t that big of a departure from XP (imo).  Win 8 is a whole new ball of wax though.  Like I said, time will tell.

I agree with you on going legit.  I have no issues running cracked programs on my system (I know a hacker in Philly who hooks me up with some cool shit).  However, when it comes to an operating system I definitely stay legit.

What is your video card??  Is it an AMD (formerly ATI)??  If so, you can check for driver updates here:

http://support.amd.com/us/gpudownload/windows/Pages/auto_detect.aspx

From there you download the auto-detect thingy and it will tell give you any updates to your drivers to download.  I bought my current home system 18 months ago (with an AMD/ATI video card)…and I updated my drivers yesterday.  I plan to run a check on my new system that I bought from Dell 3 days ago (for my cottage) as I’ve been told that there are often updates made available shortly after a computer is manufactured and before delivery.

I have Nvidia windows loaded the latest for me. With a new machine I usually update  bios and chipset drivers first and go from there.

I agree not sure if it would go on desktops, but being able to run the same software on a tablet could increase productivity on the commute home.

in my opinion Microsoft has shot itself in the foot. I honestly don’t see this software being adopted by many businesses or business professionals. Windows has always been an effective tool to produce content, but Microsoft has taken a very streamline user interface and made it overly complicated in an attempt to cater to an evolving tablet market. Apple has done things right so far, create 2 version of the OS, one maintains the original user interface that’s been used for generations (applying updates and minor UI changes to bring it up to date) and, using the main OS as a platform, created a secondary version of the OS for other devices. They still maintain connectivity and compatibility across both version of the OS while being able to branch out and create portable devices.
