Ubuntu Product Editions

By

Bouncing around the web at some point I saw someone mention Ubuntu versions during a Windows 7 versions discussion (sorry, don’t remember where).
The multiple versions thing kinda irritates me, well, it did anyway. But I try to keep an open mind. After reading all the news and the comments about the Windows 7 versions I’ve changed my mind. Reading the list below I think could give Ubuntu fans a reason to think about it too. Multiple versions can allow you to get what you want out of an OS and eliminate the unneeded or unwanted parts of the OS.
Anywho, my only point in this is that multiple versions of an OS isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Windows 7 Defrag

By

3rd party defraggers have been on my mind lately. During my research this weekend I came across the article listed below. It discusses the Windows 7 Built-In Defragmenter. It is a bit geeky but a must read for anyone interested in the topic:
Disk Defragmentation – Background and Engineering the Windows 7 Improvements
If you are using Win 7. What to you think of the Win 7 Defragger? With its changes and improvements do you find a 3rd party defragger necessary? If so, why specifically?
