Vista Linux
 |
US $5.50
Well though it seems like a silly question, I believe they are minority of them wanting to upgrade. Well Microsoft Vista is a good OS; though as much I prefer Windows XP for customizability. I think it is important that I share these facts so as nobody would make the wrong move before moving to the "Vista ship". Here are some important facts which you need to take note before upgrading your current Operating System of your notebook to Windows Vista.
1 - System Check
Download and run "Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor".This software will examine your notebook and will give you a report whether is your notebook capable of meeting's Vista requirement.
2 - Processor Check
Your CPU processor must be at least running at a clock speed of 800MHz. For Premium OS models, it must have a 1 GHz minimum requirement.
3 - RAM Check
If you think XP consumes a lot of RAM, Vista might be you worst nightmare. Make sure you have the minimum 512 mB installed. 1 GB of RAM is recommended.
4 - Graphics Check
To run the beautiful Aero theme, your graphic must support the 64mB VGA Ram. Beware this theme is nice but consumes a lot of memory.
5 - HDD Check
Make sure you have enough hard disk space. Vista requires quite an amount of space for its system files, etc. An 80GB hard disk can be served as a minimum requirement.
6 - Optical Drive Check
Make sure you have a DVD drive installed. You can forget about Vista if you only have a Combo drive installed only.
7 - Vista Versions
Choose your Vista OS. One thing about Microsoft is that they have so many versions of the releases... (it sucks)
Vista Home Basic - The lowest end of all. No Aero-theme function.
Vista Home Premium - More like the Windows XP Media Center if you like to compare.
Vista Business - Similar to functions of Windows XP Professional except it is in Vista.
Vista Enterprise - With added security and encryption tools like BitLocker and Drive Encryption. More application compatibility tools and multi language support.
Vista Ultimate - The King of Kings ( nothing to do with Triple H's entrance song from Motorhead). The all in one package of all the rich Vista functions.
8 - Application Compatibility Check
Just like XP, Vista has its own woes when it comes to programs compatibility. Run Application Compatibility Toolkit to help you identify programs that might not worked on the Vista platform.
9 - Data Backup Check
Always before doing any form of upgrade, please remember to backup your files. All the documents, pictures and important files must be backed up so that you won't loose those precious files. Data is essential and backup is always a must. You might not know what will happen during you upgrading installation.
I hope the 9 things can give you guys a detailed thought before any upgrade you've might want to make. Be it from XP to Vista, XP to OSX or XP to Linux or any other operating system which you might want to pursue.

Embedded Linux Development Using Eclipse $49.95 The Eclipse environment solves the problem of having to maintain your own Integrated Development Environment (IDE), which is time consuming and costly. Embedded tools can also be easily integrated into Eclipse. The C/C++CDT is ideal for the embedded community with more than 70% of embedded developers using this language to write embedded code. Eclipse simplifies embedded system development and then eases its integration into larger platforms and frameworks. In this book, Doug Abbott examines Eclipse, an IDE, which can be vital in saving money and time in the design and development of an embedded system. Eclipse was created by IBM in 2001 and then became an open-source project in 2004. Since then it has become the de-facto IDE for embedded developers. Virtually all of the major Linux vendors have adopted this platform, including MontVista, LynuxWorks, and Wind River. *Details the Eclipse Integrated Development Environment (IDE) essential to streamlining your embedded development process *Overview of the latest C/C++ Developer's Toolkit (CDT) *Includes case studies of Eclipse use including Monta Vista, LynuxWorks, and Wind River |
