Cleaning your PC

You are doing it wrong!!

Customize your Windows 7 Start Orb

After the Windows 7 3rd themes post...
... another way to graphically customize your Windows 7 is changing the Start Orb, the graphic of the Start Button (dropped in Win8, but still there in Seven).

You can do this using this tool:

Windows 7 Start Orb Changer:

• download (it's a .zip with a link)
• follow the link and download the software
• start the software (run as Administrator!!)
• I set "replace by editing resources" in the advanced options (> button)
• select your "orb graphic file" (look below) and patch
• explorer.exe  restarts and et-voilà, your new Start Orb!

Choose your favorite, directly from DeviantArt:

I like Win 8 orb "big arrow", "Win8 orb square" and the minimal "Little square"

From 1993: NeXTstep OS

In the 1995 the NeXTstep was in the 3.3 version.
What is NeXTstep?
When Jobs left Apple he made a pc called NeXT and a new operating system.

I installed it.
The UI graphic is very nice and polish, I love big icons, but I hate the movable menu bar and the windows managing is a bit inconsistent ("hide" menu button to hide a window, menu bar occupies a lot of screen, etc...).

Some screens!

Weird analogies - Silent Hill and...

... and that movie!

What a f....

Another BSOD post

A web collection of bsods and kernel faults...

SYSTEM FAULT (Windows Bsod, Kernel panic, crashes, etc...)

Simply multi-desktop in 60KB

Oh, new Windows logo...

Uhm... not bad.

It's clean.

It's new.

It isn't the logo what worries me ...  Yeah, you know... 
I have very little trust in Redmond in recent times in the Win8 development....
