Microsoft Digital Citizenship Infographics

August 29, 2013, 15:05(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

microsoft_Knight_shieldThis post dedicated to @thurrott. :mrgreen:
“Each infographic offers relevant statistics of current negative online behaviors and helpful tips for correcting and preventing them, offering one each for tweens, teens, and parents.”
I’m not a parent, teen, or tween so I can’t vouch for the helpfulness of this stuff.
I can say after looking at the infographics, every time Microsoft tries to do “cool” it equals FAIL.

nlite

nliteAfter no updates for almost 5 years nLite is active again.
For those who don’t know nLite is a program that allowed you to easily create custom installation images for XP (and 2000).
The return of the developer is good news. Congrats and Welcome Back!
I know I will be using it to finalize my XP images just before XP support ends.
