Who is not familiar with these beautiful vs. Mac. PC commercials. Well, honestly I think the idea is sucked out, and Apple itself should ever come up with something new. But this only in passing. Anyway, I'm on a Mac vs. PC-style short film Transformers hit. Pretty cool. Throughout the movies, here:

As some of you probably know, Microsoft is working on a long free antivirus solution for the users of our own Windows operating system. After the first program of Microsoft OneCare failed, which means high cost and technically was not acceptable, Microsoft is trying to a free solution . The whole program is called Microsoft Security Essentials and provides the first test , according passable results. Nevertheless, it can not compete with paid solution company, specializing in security solutions.
Either way, Microsoft's AV program (MSE) you can now download for Windows XP, Vista and 7:
With the release of Windows 7 has the new graphics interface, DirectX 11 entry. Not only buyers of Windows 7 will come to benefit from new graphic splendors. No, Windows Vista users have the option of installing the new DirectX in order to gamble, the latest game in the best graphics can (assuming a corresponding hardware equipment of course).
The final release of DirectX 11 is long since completed, but Microsoft will only provide to the Service Pack 3, Windows Vista, the inclusion of DirectX 11. For the time being is to upgrade the hardware interface in Windows 7 to be ready. Only later should then come as-told-the update for Vista. But the wait does not have to.
Microsoft now has a first beta version of DX11 for Windows Vista released. These are the beta update servers and are thus not as easily accessible to normal users. But Tom's Hardware has now developed a guide how to get the update anyway.
Also not a lot of manual work is needed. TomHardware shall equal or provides a tool that changes 2 registry entries automatically. This is necessary so that Windows can access the update server. Now just let Windows check for updates once and wait. The rest happens by itself.
All other images as well as in the tool also finds her Toms Hardware .
PS: It seems (at least we read in the comments to the article at TH), this trick works only with the English version of Windows Vista. Too bad, then stay the German users well in the rain ...
I've just been to town Bremerhaven found an article about the new Firefox theme that is made for version 3.7. The theme, or in Mozilla-speak mockup, looks really do not look bad. Or what do you think?
This picture shows the design for Windows Vista or 7 at Aero enabled. Very chic, right? The theme already makes her very what. As you can see the top bar (File, Edit, View ...) disappeared and only the main display. Mozilla now has only improve the performance and the Firefox browser is actually the best in the world! 
And again a very useful full version that gets to her. This time it is Corel Paint Shop Pro X, version 10! Corel given away in conjunction with Lexar image editing program, which is a very simple alternative to expensive Photoshop.
The program can be downloaded in many languages and is available to you here for free download! The file is 170 MB and also Vista compatible. You should hurry, but before the action is completed. In English you can not download the program. With a small trick that goes yet: Swaps, if you want to download the program in German, the part of DE_FR by EN. In the end, does the file name then as follows: Corel_PaintShopPro1010_EN_LEXAR_Retail.exe
Enjoy the program!
Today you'll get you a little tip from me to heart, for you to work a little easier. I'll imagine the program Launchy.
Launchy is a kind of quick start function, as we know it from Windows Vista. The program scans your start menu and creates an index of the program shortcuts. Now you can use the key combination you [Alt] + [Space] to open a small program window. Here you can now enter the name of the program and press Enter, if you've found it.
This all sounds very theoretical. If you use the program but already 1-2 years, it is almost impossible to think away. Launchy is now standard on my PC has become, because you can simply call up programs much faster.
Give it a try. It really is a very useful tool!
Geometry Wars? Was not this the game with the colorful firecrackers? Yeah, exactly! Geometry Wars is a popular mini-game for the XBox 360 Simply put, the trivial goal of Geometry Wars is as long as possible to survive in the probability of random colors and space ships. This is not always easy because people are shooting at you constantly.
With the release of the new Windows 7 operating system from Microsoft, also gets the Games Explorer, which was introduced in Vista, now new features . This should appeal to casual gamers in addition, that "in-between players," too ambitious gamers.
So the games are now grouped into different publishers. Currently only Microsoft, of course, is represented with its games, but this will change over time.
In addition, the user can now get news of the installed games and updates can be a mouse click (if available) to install. If any are available, the course will appear in the Games Explorer. Here, the user has to decide whether he wants to have such status information, or whether he wants to turn it off completely. 
Interestingly, the statistics that are out of a game are: How the gamer knows immediately how long he played a game already and how many games of chess, he could already decide for themselves, and how many losses he had already endured. If this feature third-party will be well used, that would be quite interesting for the gamer. A similar function is already known from the Instant Messenger XFire, which was designed specifically for gamers. Again, this indicates how many hours you have already gambled and transmits the data to the user's profile.
Otherwise, the new feature will be a nice thing. One can only hope that the PC then moves to the center for more games. Until now, the fact that consoles are in the shade.
While Microsoft tried with Windows Vista with some extras to move customers to buy Windows Vista, Windows 7 will be developed with no extras for the most expensive edition of the operating system.
In the future, Microsoft plans to bring a new Windows every 3 years on the market, so the development of Ultimate Extras was not possible. Specifically, the company said:
Our new approach to planning and development of Windows does not provide capacity for the provision of features outside the regular release cycles.
In addition, the development team is now split. So looks the one (core) development team as early as the next Windows version, while the other updates and patches for the current development.
Ultimately, however, twist it and turn it however you want: The Ultimate Edition of Windows Vista was a disappointment for many people. A lot of people bought the latter version, to be held by small gimmicks in a good mood. Finally you can count on the current Ultimate Extras 2 hands.
