Personally never happened, but it must be very horrible if our computer started tocontinuously restart.Unfortunately, this has happened to several notebooks located in Brazil and have been updated recently.It seems that a group of laptops that run the 32-bit version ofWindows 7are presenting this serious problem after the operating system was updated.After installing the latest update the teams began a cycle of endless reboots.The update, which is the KB2823324Windows 7 should be avoided until this problem is resolved.
For some strange reason, this bug seems to be affecting only those who live in Brazil, andMicrosoftis still looking for a solution to the problem, and it's better to do it fast because it should not be any fun to have a laptop that reboots continuously by itself.
The way around this is to turn off automatic updates until Microsoft stated otherwise.
Any idea why only the teams that are in Brazil have been affected?
We just finished the first quarter of the year and we already have several details on the use of operating systems in the world today.According to reports the firmNetMarketShare,Windows 7 still retains the title of the most used operating system in the world.Of course we are talking about a level of desktop and laptop computers, tablets or mobile no.
Windows 7 is used by 44.7% of the teams in the world, while in second place comes the familiar Windows XP, considered by many as the best operating system version ofMicrosoft.XP has a percentage of 38.7%.It is noteworthy that both versions have fallen slightly compared to their percentage of the end of 2012.The third and fourth places are occupying Windows Vista and Windows 8, respectively, in quantities of less than 5% in both cases.
Mac OS X 10.8 has become a little more popular, reaching 2.65%, while the most used operating system in the world free, Linux has a low 1.17%.
Given the scenario as it comes, no major changes are expected for this quarter, but one thing is certain: Windows will continue to lead as it has done for many years.
Currently, almost all new computers and laptops come with the new Windows 8 Microsoft and is only a matter of time before they achieve the same overtake Windows 7. But, if you have W7, you really should upgrade to W8? According to the Consumer Reports website, it's better if we stay with Windows 7, and this is the main reason to do it: -Windows 7 operating properly and most users are happy with it. If something works well, do we really need to change? Of course not. Besides MS support for W7 continue for many more years as usual. -Windows 8 makes much use of the touch interface. 'Very likely not like the new user interface (UI) of W8. -The drivers are a bit outdated. They are 4 tidbits that could really make it think twice before upgrading our computer running Windows 7 to Windows 8. Some of the advantages that we can offer really W8 are the Windows Store to download applications and apps Metro, but for now there are not many really useful applications available. Do you think it's worth making the switch to Windows 8 or you prefer to continue using Windows 7?
If
you're always going from one place to another for various reasons and
also if you like to have a computer with which to play your game favorites, then chances are you already have or you like to have a machine like the Maingear Nomad 15, a great laptop for gamers running Windows 7 instead of Windows 8. The Nomad 15 not only has a great look that can give different colors like green image, but also takes very good hardware , counting the standard model with an Intel Core i7-3610QM and 8GB of DDR3 RAM. And that is only the beginning, as the computer's graphics card is a GeForce 670MX 2GB GTX we can change a 680M 675MX or 4GB. The RAM can increase it to 32GB and the 750GB hard drive can be accompanied by a 256GB SSD SuperRAID. It also has several ports, including Ethernet, HDMI, DVI-I, headphone jack, two USB 2.0 , three USB 3.0 and FireWire finally. The price of the Maingear Nomad 15, according to desired specifications, ranging from $ 1550 to $ 2600 dollars.
Windows 8 Pro is the operating system that is being distributed to all computers and laptops
that are new, while the Windows version 8 simple is built only on PCs
and tablets that have been released as of yesterday and acquire one of
these devices is the only way to get to the "standard" version of
Windows 8, give it a name. The Pro version, on the other hand, is available in several ways. Until June 31, 2013, users of computers running Windows 7, XP SP3 and Windows Vista can upgrade to W8 Pro for $ 40. The requirements can be viewed by following the link in the "System Requirements Windows 8". On the other hand, if you bought a PC with Windows 7 after June 2 this year, you can get W8 Pro for only $ 15 through Windows Update offer . Another way is to buy the DVD of Windows 8 Pro, which costs $ 70 on Amazon, BestBuy and online store of Microsoft . What form will you use to upgrade your operating system?
This clears our doubts: Microsoft has placed all its bets on Windows 8, which incidentally will be officially launched tomorrow. Such is the confidence of the company in its new software that has decided not to release a Service Pack 2 for Windows 7.
Many have said that while W7 needs a new SP, and while that is somewhat
true, it is very rare that the latest service pack is released for the
OS is the one, as in this case.
Recall that Microsoft took 3 years to release Service Pack 2 for
Windows XP, and this month marks three years since the release of W7, so
it's rare that a new service pack is not on track. Service packs are very useful as they are great updates containing several improvements to the level of safety and performance. For Microsoft, throw these SP takes time and money, and perhaps this is the reason why W7 users will have to make do with SP 1.
Windows XP
operating system may be the most beloved of the story (as far as
Windows terms of course), but 10 years after it was launched, and not
the most popular, because that distinction now belongs ultimately to Windows 7.
It has taken three years, but at the end of the Windows 7 managed to
surpass his brother and now has a market share of 42.76%, while that of
XP is at 42.52%.
Yes, that's almost a tie, but certainly W7 has been gaining on XP for
quite some time, and certainly in the next few months the space between
them becomes greater. Something worth this is related to the launch of Windows 8, which is expected in late October.
While an increasing number of promotional campaigns in favor of that
OS, users who will determine if W8 will be a failure or a success.
If Windows 8 is not successful for some reason (confusing interface, no
start menu, etc.), Then W7 will be the one to benefit, as did XP when
Vista was released. What operating system you use today? Personally, I use two: Windows XP and Fedora.
Acer has just introduced a new model of computer desktop and Acer Veriton X6620G is ideal for use by the whole family, and even gamers. The team is inside an Intel Core i7 third generation, but in addition also has a maximum of 16GB of RAM and a 500GB hard drive. Besides this, the little Acer Veriton X6620G also has six ports USB 2.0 , two USB 3.0, two DisplayPorts and DVI. The operating system is obviously Windows 7.

My Review
Well, we tend to call the new monitors LED and the older flat panels LCD
but the truth is they are both LCD displays. The newer flat panels
such as the Viewsonic VX2450WD-LED use LEDs to create the back lighting
whereas the most older models use cold cathode fluorescent lamps.
I
am somewhat of a monitor nerd. I have five 1920X1080 displays arrayed
around my desk. Four of those are Viewsonics. Two are the
aforementioned VX2450WM-LED and two are Viewsonic VX2433WM with
fluorescent lighting.
When I bought the first VX2450WM-LED, I was
impressed enough to order another. The two things I noticed
immediately were that the colors seemed a bit more vibrant with the LED
displays and that the LED displays are cool to the touch whereas the
older displays generate a significant amount of heat. Given that in
addition to my two client machines, I have five servers (2 Windows 2008
which will soon be shut down and three Ubuntu Linux), heat becomes an
issue.
One of my "musts" for any monitor is that it be VESA
mountable. I have found that moving the monitor of the desktop and
mounting it on a framework behind the desk opens up an amazing amount of
desk space. I note that more and more consumer displays lack the VESA
mounts. All the the Viewsonic monitors (the 2450WM replaced two
Viewsonic VX2255s) have had VESA mounts.
The VX2450LEDs do not
have HDMI inputs as do the 2433WMs but at least at present I'm not sure
that's a big issue for monitors. They do have DVI and VGA inputs both
of which work just fine.
One of the features I quite like is the
"Auto Off" feature that can be set to turn the display off after a
predetermined amount of time.
A couple of further comments. If
you are limiting yourself to one monitor you are missing a whole world
of productivity. Most newer computers have two video outputs and can
easily be set to use two monitors. Even new laptops can extend the
desktop to a second display. Try it you'll like it.
The second
comment is to say how much I like Amazon Prime. I was a bit unsure of it
but finally gave it a try. Now virtually everything we order comes to
the door in two days. I order even simple things like watch batteries
and they show up with amazing regularity. There is a 30 day free trial
which I recommend you try. During the trial, when you need something,
think Prime first. I think you'll like it.
Meanwhile,
Microsoft had higher aspirations: Windows 8 will run on your desktop
and laptop as it does on your tablet is unlike anything I've done
before. Let's take a closer look at each one, to try to get a better idea of what the system is ahead.We begin The Home Screen Windows 8 The differences between Windows 8 and Mountain Lion are evident from the moment you start.When
launched Windows 8, we saw something completely different: Instead of
the common Start menu, toolbar and Windows Explorer, you have a Home
Screen, which consists of a square and rectangular icons with your apps
called Live Tiles (give more detail below).
By
default, the Home screen displays each application you installed on
your PC, but you can choose what and what not to appear there.You
are not restricted with the Apps: you can put other objects on the
screen, including booksmarks of your favorite sites and contacts in your
address book. Windows
8 will run also in the traditional computer applications, and will do
in a desktop environment that resembles the layout of Windows 7.You probably take a while to get used to the new environment, especially after all applications have Metro. Launchpad in OS X When
you first enter a Mountain Lion, you will see the typical desktop OS X,
the menu above, the OS X Dock on a button and a photo topic of space as
desktop wallpaper.By clicking on the search icon in the Dock will open the Finder window to locate files and folders.Mountain Lion has a strong approach to the Home screen: Launchpad.With Launchpad obtain a presentation as the iPad with icons for your programs, which makes it easier to locate and access them.Although the IOS runs Launchpad, Mountain Lion feels and looks like a Mac, not an iPad. Notifications and Live Tiles
The home screen of Windows 8 is more like an app with Live Tiles.In addition, Live Small Tiles act as informational widgets.Applying Climate Bing, for example, shows weather out, while the Live Tile for Cut The Rope game shows your status in the game.
OS X does not have a special feature that compares to Live Tiles, but includes features similar notification.Dock
icons may show numerous warnings if an application needs your
attention, for example, if you have three unread messages, the Mail icon
will be displayed. Notification Mountain Lion alert Notifications Center in Mountain Lion is a compilation of statements from various applications.You
can see the Notifications Center from anywhere with a simple touch, or
giving the start menu click search on your desktop When you give a
notification list for each application.Programs may also appear in pop-up style banner that will appear in the top corner.These banners appear at the top whenever you're doing something else on the screen, and will disappear in a few moments. Windows
8 has pop-up notifications to complement Live Tiles, and have a lot of
what has Montain Lion: They also have notices that appear in the top
corner of the screen and stay there a while. Comparison Applications
Windows Marketplace is clean and attractively designed Although still very low for many applications, Microsoft Windows Marketplace is attractive and well designed.From
one point of view is quite similar to the Mac App Store: apps are
organized into categories, shopping applications with one click and you
can view or post user reviews.Although it is too early, we can say that the Windows Marketplace has an advantage over the App Store: test applications.Yes, you can test an application for a period of time before you decide to buy it. Gestures Although we have a clear idea of gesture support for Mountain Lion, do not know yet what we see in Windows 8.Mountain
Lion allows you to use a trackpad to a number of actions, for example,
you can use three fingers to open your applications, or turn left or
right with three fingers to change desktop or viewing in full screen.If you have the touch sensor Apple Magic Mouse can use some of these functions. While Windows 8 has some moves by the time they are all for tablets and touch-screen computers. We do not know what the gestures that have Windows 8 for laptops.So far it's all in the air, but last year showed a Synaptics touchpad friendly Windows 8 that accepts various gestures. File Manager With Mountain Lion, Apple has a small advantage in the Finder, the file manager for OS X.It
looks and works much like you do with Lion-if you're using Windows
Explorer or an earlier version of Mac OS X, do not take long to know how
to use the form on Lion Mountain. Microsoft
may have worked hard with the interface of Metro, but any progress with
the file manager still needs more work and use the traditional Windows
Explorer.Fortunately, Windows 8, Explorer had an update: now features Ribbon toolbar makes access to common features easier Switching
between Metro and the traditional Windows Explorer is just a bit bumpy
and frustrating, so we expect Microsoft to do something to make the
Metro file management simpler. icloud and Windows Live Windows 8 and Mountain Lion are cloud service from Microsoft and Apple, respectively.Both let you synchronize your data with different devices, and both include some online storage services. Windows Live is everywhere with Windows 8.You can access Windows 8 using your Windows Live ID.This will let you sync multiple PC settings through Windows 8 devices, and you can access your account on SkyDrive. Also, when accessing for the first time a Mountain Lion will ask you to enter your account information icloud.From there you can sync email, contacts, calendars, notes, reminders, and recent photos through your Macs and IOS devices.
The Mountain Lion has new documents is the cloud, which allows you to store your documents in the icloud service from Apple. If you have a icloud, you can save your documents directly on a hard drive, if your applications to take information from this feature.
At first glance Documenmtos in the Cloud Mountain Lion is silly and stupid, you can access any document stored in the cloud through the Finder, for example. We hope that these characteristics are improved. icloud is free and comes with 5GB of storage, but you can buy additional storage.
With SkyDrive, Microsoft has a subtle and more traditional approach: Using SkyDrive using a separate application through which you can access to everything you saved on SkyDrive. It is also free but limits you to 25GB of storage. What about the tablets?
One of the major points in favor of Windows 8 is that it has "commitments" this operating system runs on your desktop, laptop, tablet PC or touch screen. This advantage is useful when you have to pass your information from one device to another.
On the other hand, Apple still has a big difference between the IOS of mobile devices and Macs. Despite the strong influence on their computers, OS X is OS X. It seems that Apple's philosophy is to keep each system in its authenticity, and some characteristics between the devices are similar and family.
Microsoft seems to want that the tablets are an extension of the PC, while Apple seems to be only a support for Macs. Resumámoslo well, Microsoft wants the tablets represent the next step in the evolution of the PC, not a separate category.
Both Apple and Microsoft are trying to bring the features of their mobile operating systems to the corresponding desktop OS, but their attempts are quite different.
Originally, Mac OS X is still an operating system designed for desktops and laptops. Sure, Apple has added features of IOS, but OS X is still based on windows, menus, folders, and so on.
MSI has just announced officially two new laptops, MSI and MSI CR61 CX61. These two notebooks running an Intel Core and use third-generation Windows 7 operating system. Both machines are virtually identical, but they differ is that the CX61 has a NVIDIA GeForce GT 640M/630M 2GB, while the CR61 uses an Intel HD. The common specifications of the MSI and MSI CR61 CX61 are a maximum of 8GB of DDR3 RAM, 720GB HDD, 15.6 inch HD screen resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels and also include a DVD burner. Both ports also have USB 2.0
, USB 3.0, HDMI, WiFi connectivity, Ethernet, Bluetooth 4.0, card
reader, webcam HD, multitouch trackpad and use a 6-cell battery. The prices of laptops have not yet been disclosed.
The mini PC never attracted much attention here, but this new model does it does. This is the new Giada I53, powerful, quiet and the same size as some books. Giada's new I53 can be equipped with a processor Intel Core choice between i3, i5 or Core i7. It also has Intel GMA graphics card HD 4000 and 4GB of DDR3 RAM, and a 320GB hard drive or 500GB. Regarding connectivity and ports, has a USB 3.0, four USB 2.0 , audio input and output, HDMI, VGA and multi-card reader. It also supports LAN, WiFi, Bluetooth and of course, not to mention also that has an infrared remote control. In addition, the I53 is useful to save some energy as it consumes only 35W. Regarding the operating system, Giada I53 can expect Windows 7 Premium or we can purchase it with Linux distributions. To give you an idea of prices, the Core i5 model with 4GB RAM and 500GB disk costs $ 520.
