Customizing Vista, Just Having A Little Fun!

March 4, 2009, 16:27(EST) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

I’ve been bored and playing around with customizing the look of Vista. I’ll have an article up on what I did in the next few days.
In the mean time, here’s a screenshot for you:

Windows Vista SP2 RC released to general public

March 4, 2009, 15:46(EST) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

Neowin: Exclusive: Windows Vista SP2 RC released to general public
Neowin has the scoop. However, as of this writing and as noted by the user comments the only download that points to the new files is the ISO link.
—–
TIP:
The service pack cleanup tool has been changed and is now compcln.exe.
WARNING – If you run compcln.exe you will not be able to uninstall the RC and therefore you will be unable to install the final version when released.
I made a backup with TI and will revert to that when the final is released.

Microsoft: The Vista Bullying Stops Here

July 8, 2008, 14:26(EDT) By Eric (a.k.a. TweakHound)

Tired of Apple’s campaign of FUD?

Windows Vista has been dragged through the mud by the bullies with which it competes, but those bullies are about to get hit with some long overdue retaliation…”There are a lot of myths around Windows Vista. We know the story is very different than what our competitors would like us to think,” Brooks told the audience.
In a clear dig at Apple and it’s ‘I’m a PC, I’m a Mac’ advertisements, Brooks suggested that Microsoft is preparing to retaliate against “noisy competitors” with a major new multi-million dollar advertising campaign, something that many channel partners have been hoping the software giant would do for months.
“You thought the sleeping giant was still sleeping. We’ve woken up and it’s time to take this message forward. This is the true story of Vista,” Brooks said.

I hope they have the ‘nads to follow through with this.
