Windows 7
Aug 12th
Testing a Windows 7 Ultimate installation. This OS is sleek, fast and stable as l can see. On my test system l noticed my workstation will into hibernation mode just like a laptop, and resume on pressing the power button – this never happened in Vista. I also noticed the first time l installed an Autodesk product, a special nvidia performance driver installer popped up, for installing an optimized driver for the Nvidia quadro FX professional graphics card l had. Also, the wallpaper collection pictures are amazing. Used to have problems in Vista Ultimate 64 with Adobe Photoshop CS4 -32/64 bit version complaining about my graphics card Nvidia quadro 370, this has disappeared – CS4 Photoshop ran immediately with no problems. This might be the best Windows yet! See pictures below.
If you are hunting for your documents in Windows 7, look for them under “libraries”. Seems thats the new word for Microsofts storage location for your documents, music, pictures etc going forward.
Windows Azure

This is a version of windows which runs over the internet using Microsoft’s data center. I’ve just signed up for a development account with which to test this from Microsoft Connect. This is Microsoft’s step one into cloud computing and a Community Technology Preview on this was given at PDC 2008. I’ll update this as my testing goes on.

How to resize your vista partition See: http://www.vistarewired.com/2007/02/16/how-to-resize-a-partition-in-windows-vista
I may have to do this and install XP 64, then Vista ultimate on the next partition on my 1 Terabyte sata drive, since l keep getting a never ending nvidia driver/vista conflict problem which seems to be vista related.
