Yesterday I managed to download the Windows Vista SP1 RTM from some ***** place and tried it right after downloading in my PC. I did a clean install of Vista in a new partition and installed SP1 on it. Before trying it out from there, I slipstreamed it with Vista RTM DVD and used Windows Automated Installation Kit to create the .wim file for the DVD. Now what I have is a fully functional SP1 integrated disk and later I also installed SP1 directly from the media.

Nowadays I am trying SP1 with a great enthuasisam and checking the so called reliability and performance factors behind it. Though using it just for a day does not justify a quick decision made solely upon it, I am moreover satified what it is offering. The boot up and shutdown times are greatly improved and already decreased upto 25% in comparison with the previous build. AERO is great to use now and is tear free everywhere. The system resource usage is reasonably cut down and thus improving system performances. I am extensively checking the other parts of the OS to find out the differences.

At last I changed from Wordpress to Drupal and also changed the domain name to www.suvraconnected.co.cc Though it is still free and I am still out of money, I am going to buy a domain real soon.

Drupal is more over suffiecient for a Blogger to have his website running and the latest v6 has only released yesterday. I am not rushing to use it as there are some module incompatibility with the new one. I will upgrade after a few months.

After saying so much against vista in a damn number of Vista, I finally installed Vista Ultimate yesterday in my PC with SP1 RC. Previously I installed it on May 07, but was not satisfied with the service it offered. But now with SP1 RC, I am feeling a bit elevated using a great operating system in my PC.
By the way, my PC configuration is not a good looking one, rather a baby compared to the rest of today's Biggies. Still it is capable of delivering AERO, nVidia FX 5200 is just fine with AERO, a bit shaky though.
Vista is a very stable one, as I use it. I already used Ubuntu 7.10 and not satisfied with the service as it can hang many times in the GRUB menu. At least Vista is not going to stop at boot menu. No errors till now, no hanging nor infamous BSOD. Pretty good except for the price here. Microsoft is going to Apple way here at the price. Everything else is good to use and also a visual pleasure.

I cannot afford a paid hosting for now. So I opted for a free hosting from some company. They have some conditions to set up a account, either post some posts in a certain forum, or click ads on their domain or opt for a ad-crampled account etc. I thought the forum posing method is better from the rest, at least for me. I posted a gazillion of posts in certain forum and wanted an account. Got it now, installed wordpress and Zip Zap Zoom. After a good service from 6th Jan, at last today I see my site is down. Meanwhile every site is down that was hosted on the server. This made me crazy now, I dont think that it is a example of 99.5% uptime here, rathar a example of 30% downtime.

So, internet is pay and use as always. NO MONEY ? GET OUT YOU MORON !

After downloading Windows XP SP3 RC on 31st December 07 I installed it on the 1st day of this year and within 15 min, the installation gone fine. I rebooted and started the new upgraded one. I was hoping some performance upgrades, but XP is running with the same speed as it used to be. No cut-off in the boot up time, no noticeable improvements. I think that the stability is a bit improved with the previous bu fixes, but it is not noticeable to a average computer user. Sometimes starting some Hard Disk related applications like HD Tune and other Benchmarks freezes the system for a few seconds and then it is back again, I think this is just a glitch and will be fixed on the RTM version coming this year. Nothing new on features also, as Microsoft already said. So finally this is a bunch of bugfixes weaved together in a so called service pack, nothing better to boast for.
