File folders are pretty ubiquitous right now aren’t they? Anyone using Windows is probably quite familiar with them right? Windows has been around now for awhile right? Microsoft developed Windows right? Microsoft developed the Zune right?
Why doesn’t the Zune interface support a folder hierarchy for files?
I’m still trying to decide if I’m going to […]

After browsing around through the "I’m A PC" advertising campaign website on the Microsoft domain, I found this imagery that I thought was very powerful. To me that’s great advertising creativity.
The idea of Windows vs. Walls
The bias between the dark interior room and the bright, open outdoors is a powerful statement. It may […]

I was just reminded of a valuable tool for anyone running Windows. It’s a little application that lets you see your product key for Windows. This particular software is from Misc Software and they have a variety of other applications that could be helpful to Windows users as well.

What ever happened to Windows XP SP3? I was thinking it was going to be available already. I just did a search for it to see about updating my system and the download link wasn’t available on the Microsoft Download Center page. The only thing that’s available is the overview documents.
Paul Thurrott has given a […]

I always forget this feature is available to me. Perhaps even more than that, I’m still somewhat startled every time I accidentally click my scroll-wheel to make the view appear.
Anyone out there actively use this view? What do you think? Isn’t it a lot like the big rage that Apple users are excited about […]

When you’re computer experiences an error, do you send the error reports to Microsoft for them to see the error and hopefully what caused it? If you do, this helps them have ongoing testing in what is obviously an enormous testing environment of the entire world.
I like helping, my only complaint is that I wish […]

Do you like Windows and other Microsoft products? Do you complain about things not working the way you’d like? Do you actually do something about it like sharing your opinion?
Microsoft has setup the Windows Feedback Panel to allow everyday users like you and I an opportunity to provide feedback on what we’d like improved. The […]

I’ve been debating on what I’d like to do with regards to updgrading to Windows Vista. I’m definitely going to do it, if for no other reason than I always want to have the newest stuff and I blog on a Microsoft blog.
My desktop is a few years old now and I know for sure that […]

PC Magazine has had some good Windows tips here lately. This one is about finding and getting back control of a window that’s hidden itself below other menus, off-screen, or even completely invisible.
This happens to me every now and then when I’m working on various applications and sitting on my local business network and using […]

If you’ve been watching TV, you’re probably already aware of one of the biggest seeming annoyances of Windows Vista. Security alerts. The newest PC and Mac ads illustrate the challenges poetically. I find it somewhat challenging that the biggest complaint about Microsoft’s operating system has always been stability and security, they fix many problems in […]
