A.P.P.L.E

All this time, I’m using Windows XP. Windows Vista has been in the market for some time. Thanks to my job again, I have the chance to touch a bit on Vista. Orange is currently using Windows Vista and he seems to enjoy it a lot. No doubt that Vista looks really elegant and easily grab the attention of the audience. Despite its look, Vista is also recommended for advance security.

Take a look at Orange’s desktop which runs on Windows Vista Ultimate.

There are 6 different editions of Windows Vista. Which should you use and how do you determine its flexibility against your needs? Continue and read the following…

Did you notice that these 2 days I update my blog kinda late? But I’m still trying to update it everyday, as I don’t want my blog visitors to get bored with the same contents. I was busy and still busy of reinstalling Windows and other softwares which are essential to me. I was thinking of making a Dual OS in my laptop, the original Windows XP Professional and the Ubuntu 7.04 which I received some time ago. I’ve tried installing Ubuntu 6.06 to my desktop computer and it was nicely setup with two OS available for booting. (But deal to some Windows problem some time later, I reformat my desktop computer and install Windows XP only)

I was thinking what’s the difference between Ubuntu 6.06 and Ubuntu 7.04? So, I decided to install Ubuntu 7.04 to my laptop (currently using it to blog). When I start doing the installation, wow..the interface looks even better than the previous version, I mean look at the logo, it’s more round and solid. However the photo you see below, it’s a bit stretch. Well, that’s what it looks like when you have it freshly installed in a widescreen display laptop.

And because of some misunderstanding on the partition part, all, ALL my data in the harddisk all reformatted and gone~~~ Well, that’s why I’m busy these 2 days. You gonna say, installing Windows doesn’t take you 2 days, huh? Well, this include finding software which I always wanted to install and also, spending a lot of time searching for customized font…and a lot more, such as Photoshop brushes…I haven’t search for old and new one. That’s eating up my time.I’m sad that some critical data is gone, but hey, it’s a new start…my laptop is now more nicely organized and I’ve decided to change the font that I always use for the watermark to the one you see in the above picture. Now my laptop is ready to use and most software that I need is already installed.

P/S: Just in case you haven’t know yet, Ubuntu is one of Linux distros.

Recently, I’m crazy of Ubuntu Linux - although I haven’t successfully install it to my computer. Then, I was thinking, how about changing the look of my Windows XP desktop to look like a Ubuntu Linux’s desktop? Because what I like most about Ubuntu Linux, is its interface! Google a while, and I found a tutorial from Manas’ blog. A very well-done tutorial is written there.

I am not going to show the tutorial here, as you can find the complete and updated tutorial from the original author (click here) All credits go to the person who created all the lovely styles and of course the author of the tutorial.

This is what my desktop looks like now, after the customization:
My orange desktop with big big icons <3
Firefox Ubuntu Linux theme & customized icons
Customized Windows shadow & Live Messenger windows
Try it yourself! It’s fun ^^
