by mark
October 29th, 2012

metroWindows 8 is for sale now and I’ve already purchased it because Microsoft has a very good deal.  You can download it directly from Microsoft for only $39.  If it had cost $99 I may not have bought it at all (Linux is free).

I’ve been using the Windows 8 Beta for quite a while and I have to say I’m liking it. Read More→

Windows 8 Preview

by mark
March 6th, 2012

Windows 8 will be the latest Windows OS (operating system) when it is released, probably in September or October. For now we have the Consumer Preview to play with. The Windows 8 Consumer Preview seem like a release candidate to me. It is very polished, very fast and not buggy at all.

Windows 8 is an OS for desktops and laptops of course but it is also going to be used on tablets similar to the iPad. I do not have a Windows tablet to try it out on so this review is just about using it on a standard computer. Read More→

I’ve try the new Ubuntu 11.04 and I think it is an OK OS but for me and my purposes I am going to stick with Linux Mint 10. Linux Mint is like the Energizer bunny, it keeps goin and goin.  Ubuntu 11.04 is terrific if you like a flashy user interface. Read More→

The Winner Mint 10

by mark
April 2nd, 2011

I’ve been using Linux Mint 10 on my laptop for a while now and found it to be completely reliable. I’ve been using some form of Linux on it for about 4 years. I have now installed Mint 10 on my desktop. I don’t find Windows reliable. There is always some issue. Lately there is always some process hogging the CPU, RAM or Internet bandwidth. Read More→

The new Ubuntu 10.10 Maverick Meerka is in Beta now and will be released October 10, 2010. I have not tried it (because I hardly do Betas anymore) but it is said to have many great features. Besides the usual updates, there’s a new photo manager, improved multimedia controls, better Ubuntu One syncing, and more.

Get the Beta!
