This week is wipe week for me. This is the week ware I start backing up and getting ready to wipe my computers. Yes it takes me a week to do it cause I know If I try to do it all in one day I will not remember to back up something’s. I figger this is a good time of year to do this kind of thing since its almost time to start school in like another month. It doesn’t make senc to wipe in the middle of the school year. So I do it before school starts and give myself a good month to get the bugs worked out of my systems and get things back in order.

I find this is a good thing to do cause it helps keep your computer running nice and smooth and gets rid of all the little software that you install that you may use once and never take off. I’ve been doing this with my old windows 98 computer since I was like in 5^th grade and its still running to this day.

I bought DVD’s today to do the back-up then got home and saw they were not DVD’s they were CD’s so I have to get up tomorrow and go back to walmart and get DVD’s and its going to take for ever cause I’m going to have take the bus so we will see how that gose hell I’ll even record it. So if you can and have the time wipe out your pc along with me Aug 1^st.

I’ve been thinking for awhile now about windows 7 and what it might be like. I really been thinking that it would be like windows 98 SE. Why you might ask. Well it really hasn’t been that long since Vista came out. So I figured that windows 7 is going to fix all the problems with Vista and add things to it to make it the OS that it should have been out of the box. When I was thinking of doing this blog entry I thought I would e-mail Paul Thurrott from the supper site for windows. Surprising to me he responded to my e-mail.

Hey Paul I just wanted to ask you you think on something. I've been thinking about windows vista and windows 7. MY question to you is do you think that windows 7 is going to be more like windows 98 SE in scenes that its not going to change anything that its just going to be a really big update that’s going to cost a lot of money to just fix some of the problems with windows vista now and add some new things to it. I mean it just doesn't seem like something all that existed to get when it comes out like I was when windows vista came out.

I think it's going to be like Windows Vista in reverse. (Bear with that one for a sec.)
In other words ... Windows Vista completely changed the underlying Windows platform but provided a UI and experience that was much like its predecessor. To the user, Vista isn't a huge upgrade, but the reality is that the underlying platform has completely changed.
Windows 7 will utilize this new Vista-based platform but will likely be a dramatically different OS from a user experience standpoint, hopefully with at least an improved if not completely new shell. There will be a ton of new applications and functionality.
I guess Windows 7 could never have happened without Windows Vista, but Windows Vista will never get the respect it deserves for getting the hard part done and taking the ensuing lumps.
Paul

I think after reading that has me thinking a little bit more of windows 7. I just hope it doesn’t get the rap that vista got or even cause of vista that it doesn’t just get looked over. I think that would be an awful shame.

Well I know that at this point I know this old new that the iphone 2.0 has been hacked. Is it just me or dose it just not make sence to hack the 2.0 software it dose everything you want it to do in the first place why do people need to hack to install apps I mean this just opens the door I think to problems. I think the first time it was hacked with the 1.0 software it was a good thing but now that the iphone and ipod touch can install apps now I think it will be time for the hackers to start doing mulish us things to it and I think it will become the windows of phones. People will have to worry about viruses on your phone. Though it wouldn’t be a new things there already viruses for cell phones out there just hasn’t been a huge out brake yet.

I just think that the iphone is just a setup for a big out brake of a viruses. The army is even using it what other reathen would there be for other country that hate us to come up with a hack or a viruses that would fuck with though. I think it’s something that people should keep in mind. So don’t freak out just be cautious and always be alert cause it could happen.

Late this morning I posted a video with my good friend thevixy having problems trying to get into OS X on her mac book. But she could get into Windows XP on her mac book. There are only 2 things I can think of one that a system file in OS X got corrupted and all she has to do is reinstall OS X or a sector on the OS X partion is broke witch she could use spin rite to fix if she has an extra $90 laying around.

This though is why I always like to back up things. once a month I always back up everything I can on to a DVD. Every week I back up important files to  windows live sky drive. Why you may ask, well cause its 5 GB for free so that's enof for me to back up all my blog entry's to it and other small files that I need or want and they are always there when I want them. Though I find it kind of funny to that the other day that I was watching System and they were showing how to turn a old computer into a free NAS (Network Attached Storage) witch is a good way to back up your data because it is a on site back so then it only takes as long as it takes to transfer files over your network.

So please people for your own sake and the safety of your data back it up. If its picks got windows live photo gallery and back them up to flickr. just back up then when your computer just stops working one day it wont matter as much cause you will have your data some place safe and ware you can get to it.

Well I’m sure everyone knows now that Bill gates last day at Microsoft was Friday. Some people are saying this is a bad thing but I think that this is really good thing. I think this just means that we will so more things that we would have never had seen with bill there.

Though he is retired he will still be there. He is still part of the board of directors I believe so its not like he completely gone, he will still have a say in things with the company. He just wont have the say that he once had in making the software. He was head software Developer or something like that I believe was his title there.

Well I think this is a start of a new beginning for Microsoft. They been kind of taking a little bit of a slump in the last few years but I think this is there chance to change all that around. They have new and initiative things coming out like Live Mesh witch I think will change the way people think about and interact with computers. So cheers to Microsoft to a new beginning.

Back when windows 98 was king there was really two windows. Windows 98 and windows NT. 98 was the consumer version of windows and windows NT was the enterprise version. But when windows XP came out they combined the two cereals.

The point I’m trying to get at is why they would do that. They should go back to only having two cereals, a consumer version and a enterprise version. The consumer version could have things like the windows live sweet and Microsoft works. Then the enterprise version of windows could have stuff like Office and all the things enterprise users need to get there work done.

I got a lot of this from listening to windows weekly and when Paul was talking about I was just sitting here thinking “I want that” it was like as if I woke up from one of those dreams that are so good you think its real until you wake up and look around and think DANM it was just a dream. I just really think that marketing is getting in the way of what consumers want.
