Ieri a avut loc ceremonia de lansare a sistemului de operare Windows 7 la Cluj. Evenimentul a cuprins si prezentarea Windows 2008 Server, Exchange 2010 si Windows Mobile 6.5. Deoarece folosesc Windows 7 de ceva luni bune, nu m-a impresionat foarte tare prezentarea. Am invatat cateva shortcuturi noi si fancy, dar cam atat.

In schimb, Windows 2008 Server + Hyper-v chiar m-au impresionat. Sunt fan Linux, dar unele feature-uri din Win2008 merita incercate. Intre VMware ESXi si Hyper-v, diferenta principala e data de capabilitatea ESXi de a clona o masina fizica Windows/Linux intr-una virtuala live. Si Hyper-v se lauda cu asa ceva, dar stie numai OS-uri M$. Interfata grafica in schimb (asa cum era de asteptat) e mult mai ergonomica la Hyper-v.

Sa ajung si la titlul postului: la sfarsitul prezentarii a avut loc o tombola unde se puteau castiga un htc HD2, un LG cu touchscreen si WinMobile 6.5, un HDD de 2TB, traininguri micrsoft, carti, etc. In timp ce erau prezentate telefoanele, i-am zis colegului Luci ca eu nu vreau LG-ul, numai htc-ul imi place. El a raspuns ca s-ar multumi si cu un LG. La tragerea la sorti, eu am castigat htc-ul, iar el LG-ul…

Cateva din caracteristicile telefonului:

Procesor la 1GHz (!)
Ecran 4.3″
3G, EDGE, etc…
Camera 5Mpix
Accelerometru
Receptor GPS
Internet sharing prin USB, Bluetooth si WiFi (are incorporat un WiFi router)

P.S. – in rRomania o sa se vanda doar de saptamana viitoare

Daca vrei sa inchizi calculatorul cu ajutorul tastaturii, observi ca sunt doua shortcuturi asociate literei o.

Dell Inspiron 1721 XP drivers

Alex — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 11:13:10 +0000

This week I was really happy thinking about my soon to be Dell Inspiron 1721. When it finally arrived to me, I was a little disappointed about the color of the laptop: the blue on dell’s website is not the same as the blue of my laptop. I’ve soon realized that having an AMD Turion64 x2 @ 2GHz processor and 2 GB of RAM is more important that the shade of blue.
After counting the USB ports, passing it from hand to hand as anyone was interested in its looks, I’ve realized that I need a backpack. Searching the web, I’ve found a Dell backpack at the same retailer that sold me the laptop. How stupid can I be not to order the backpack together with the laptop? Now I have to pay shipping costs all over again.
Paul immediately offered to install Ubuntu (7.10) on the laptop (yeah, he’s a boy and boys love to play with new toys). The installation went well, Ubuntu runs smooth (except the wireless connection which I’ll fix later).
At home I’ve installed Windows XP (yes, I own a licensed copy of XP) and searched on Dell’s website for drivers. My surprise was that for my model Dell offers only Vista drivers. Since I hate Microshit Vista, I’ve searched the net for XP drivers. It wasn’t an easy task, but now I have all the drivers I need. If by chance you have the same problem as me, you can download the drivers from my Download page.
