Will An Old Laptop Run Windows 7 Well?

Do you think that Windows® 7 will run faster than Windows Vista® or run on an older laptop from the early 2000's?



If you take a look at the data I have gathered below, you might not be as hopeful as you may have already been. Keep in mind that the Windows 7 final version has not been released, so things can still change.

My Findings



  • Windows 7 RC requires the same processor speed and RAM as Windows Vista Premium but less ram than Windows Vista Home Basic. It also requires 1 more GB of hard-drive space than Windows Vista.

Throughout the awesome scheme of things you receive an A+ for hard work. Exactly where you actually misplaced us was first in the facts. You know, people say, details make or break the argument.. And that could not be more accurate right here. Having said that, permit me reveal to you exactly what did give good results. Your writing can be very persuasive which is possibly the reason why I am taking the effort in order to comment. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, despite the fact that I can easily notice the jumps in logic you make, I am not really sure of exactly how you appear to unite your details which in turn produce the final result. For the moment I will, no doubt subscribe to your point but wish in the near future you actually connect your dots better.------------ www.yescustom.com - Custom T shirts etc.

Parameters Sent by TinyWebDB in App Inventor for Android

TinyWebDB is a component in App Inventor for Android that lets your app communicate with a web page in order to set or retrieve values, rather than storing them on the phone itself. I wanted to know what the TinyWebDB component sends to the web page when it tries to set or retrieve values, so I used Kodingen this morning to write a PHP script that takes the form fields and values sent to the page and writes them to a file. Here is what I found: TinyWebDB.StoreValue sends these parameters: tag value TinyWebDB. GetValue sends this parameter: tag So if you write your own PHP page for TinyWebDB to connect to, you can know if TinyWebDB is trying to store a value if the "value" key exists in the $_POST array. If the "value" key doesn't exist in the $_POST array then you know that TinyWebDB is only trying to retrieve the value for the given tag. As an alternative to using the method outlined by Google , you could use TinyWebDB with your own script written in an...

Adobe® Flex® Combobox: Selecting an Item Without Using SelectedIndex

In Adobe Flex, in order to select an item in a ComboBox, you use the .selectedIndex property. However, there might be times that you want to specify the item to be selected based on something other than it's position in the list. I have found two potential solutions: ComboBox2 from Ben Forta, Flex evangelist, is a ComboBox component which allows you to specify a "selectedValue" property.   VAComboBox  from Codieron, LTD.
