I agree with Pentaxophile. You have the eye. Nurture that and you're bound to amaze people.

I think replacing XP in itself is in due order, the amount of security holes that XP has is reason enough to move to at least Windows 7.

I would not be surprised if at this very moment each and every WinXP installation connected to the internet is now part of a botnet helping out hacker kiddies with their DDoS attacks (LulZsec and Anonymous). All they need is a computer to send several server requests to a site, multiply that by a few million and you got a cyberweapon.

Windows 8 will be officially released 3Q/4Q of 2012 so quite some time to go.

The biggest feature so far that I've seen is the new Metro interface. They're also saying that this can run on a netbook configuration (1GB RAM, Atom CPU, Integrated Graphics), but "can run" does not mean "usable" in my experience.

My best recommendation for XP users is, if you can afford to get Win7+RAM upgrade. Should be cheaper than buying a new computer. Then again, computers are so cheap nowadays, and most come with Win7 Home Premium already. If all you use on a computer are your web browser and office productivity apps (Office), then it's a no brainer: use Linux Mint or Ubuntu.

LoL looks like I'll need to look for some bust stoppers lol

Hello everyone! Here's something that might interest a few of you.

Microsoft recently announced that the Windows 8 Developer Preview is now available as a free download. If you have at least 20GB of free HDD space to play around with, we can then use VirtualBox to try this baby out.

What I was hoping was for some of the members here (myself included) to try out this new version of Windows which looks to be very promising. I know this is a Developer Preview, but that didn't prevent users from having a go at it. I know I did with Win7RC!

The main programs to test this out with, will be of course, the usual suspects: Photoshop, Lightroom, Elements, etc.

If you decide to go for it, tell use how it goes! Cheers!

You got it man, it's as you said. Maybe TfL might be interested in these photos. LOL

At first look, they don't wow you, but on further inspection, these are quite good! Some of them (particularly 3 to look like their a bit HDR!

Good job, thanks for sharing!

Well to be fair, the children should take a "naughtiness hazard test" first.

Warranty? And are those scruff marks on the lens hood? Hard to say "as new" with that.
