Windows is the best OS because: The Bugatti Veyron is the fastest, most powerful and most expensive sports car in the world.  Windows is the most expensive PC operating system so it is the fastest too.

In this episode, we will tackle the Airport Commercial: An innocent couple falls victim to airline shenanigans. So where do they go when they can’t leave the gate area for... well, for who knows how long?<a

Shut Down your Virtual Machine completely, suspending it will NOT work!

(Essential Windows 7 Tweaks: Part 1), I mentioned it's my opinion that users should disable the system restore features in Windows 7.  Outside of the resources associated with running the task, I feel as though it provides a false sense of security for Windows Users and does nothing for users plagued by things worse than failed updates.  So what is the answer? Windows 7 comes with Backup and Restore... Backup and Restore—improved for Windows 7—creates safety copies of your most important files, so if you lose something, it won't be lost forever. Let<a
