*********************************************************** Introduction... Microsoft Longhorn ~*~*~*~*~|~*~*~*~*~|~*~*~*~*~|~*~*~*~*~|~*~*~*~*~|~*~*~*~*~ This month was quite busy due to my visit to Nairobi, Kenya. This African country is full of nature. The temperature is 18 deg. Centigrade. It is quite pleasant. I attended Print Pack exhibition there but I missed the visit to famous “ Masai Mara ” National Park. I was having lot of time there and thinking about Microsoft future operating system codenamed “ Longhorn”. They have changed it to “ Vista ”. Don’t believe this. This is the truth. Microsoft dropped the code name Longhorn, announcing the next version of its flagship Windows operating system which will be called Windows Vista. The top software maker will release first of 2 test versions to developers and information technology professionals. The core idea around windows Vista is bringing clarity to user so they can focus on what matters most. Vista’s features will include better ways to visualize data such as seeing through windows which are stacked atop each other, more natural file organization and faster searching. If faster searching is achieved then you will not require Google desktop search separately. The operating system will also be designed to better protect computers against viruses and spyware. Check out the details about Microsoft Longhorn here. http://www.cheapest-computer-hardware-software.com/microsoft-longhorn.html Hope you will find it useful! Happy reading...

*********************************************************** 2. Computer Lease options ~*~*~*~*~|~*~*~*~*~|~*~*~*~*~|~*~*~*~*~|~*~*~*~*~|~*~*~*~*~ Want to lease a computer? The decision to lease a computer will depend entirely on your needs. If you want to have computer for a short time and don’t require it frequently then to lease a computer is the best choice. If you require the computer frequently, you can buy a computer. If you are tight on budget, you can build the computer or go for refurbished computer. Once you fix the budget, you will be able to get the computer.
Here is the article on computer leasing. http://www.cheapest-computer-hardware-software.com/lease-computer.html
*********************************************************** 3. Wi-Fi advantage ~*~*~*~*~|~*~*~*~*~|~*~*~*~*~|~*~*~*~*~|~*~*~*~*~|~*~*~*~*~ With Wifi, you will be always online. The high traffic areas like airport, railway stations, shopping malls will be having Internet access points. New laptops with wifi connection can take advantage of this facility. With these wifi laptops, you will not miss important e-mail or friendly chat. You can work anywhere and anytime. This is the biggest advantage. The cheap wireless hardware installed at high traffic areas is the clear cut indication of wireless future. Residential apartments and commercial complexes are pre-wired for Ethernet and broadband Internet connectivity. More than 65 percent of U.S. workers spend all or part of their workdays in remote locations--40 million of them in home offices. In-Stat reports that 75 percent of new developments are, at the very least, being "wired" for broadband.

Spyware – Just remove it ~*~*~*~*~|~*~*~*~*~|~*~*~*~*~|~*~*~*~*~|~*~*~*~*~|~*~*~*~*~ You may be knowing about them. But don't know how to remove it. Please note, many times, spyware and adware are more dangerous than the viruses. There are reports that 90% of the computers are affected by Spyware and Adware. These programs get installed on your computer and collect the personal information about you and your internet habits. Spyware sends the collected information to hacker over the internet so that hacker can take advantage of your personal information. If you are getting annoying popups means your computer is affected with Adware. Sometimes Spyware gets into your system along with the downloaded freeware or shareware programs. To avoid this, never download freeware or shareware from the unknown sites. They also enter the computer through the advertising used in some free software, such as a number of the peer-to-peer programs; this type of Spyware is known as Adware. Also some of the web sites install Spyware cookies on your hard drive when you visit them. While many cookies are completely harmless, others function like Adware and gather up details on the sites you visit, the passwords you use, and more. That is problematic for you. Check out the spyware removal program to remove the spyware from your computer. http://www.cheapest-computer-hardware-software.com/adware-and-spyware-removal-tool.html *********************************************************** 5.
