Axe some processes and make your Windows run faster today

Want to make your computer run faster? Desire to have a smoother computing experience? Tweaked your operating system lately? I first chanced upon Black Viper's website when I was looking for a way to speed up my computer. Windows starts many processes by default even though many are completely redundant. I was using Windows XP and I was glad to find a comprehensive guide of the processes I can simply axe. The Black Viper site has undergone a complete overhaul since then and it now looks much slicker than before - and it is remarkably faster too. If you are on Windows XP, check out the Windows XP Service Pack 2 Service Configurations guide. If you are unfortunate enough to be using Windows Vista, then see this Windows Vista Service Configurations guide. A Windows 2000 Service Configurations guide is also available. Black Viper (real name: Charles M. Sparks) has also written a whole lot of guides on operating systems and mother boards. If you are looking for some software or game reviews, they are there too. So what are you waiting for? Get cracking and make your computer run faster now! :P

Only 244 copies of Genuine Windows Vista sold in China

I don't know how true this is but I got the information from http://preview.tinyurl.com/23y9vu . If it is true, it would indeed make for some laugh. Non-malicious in nature, mind you. :P I quote: Microsoft spent millions of dollars advertising its next generation OS 'Windows Vista' in China, in fact the IT juggernaut threw up the biggest Vista Ad on the 421 meter high Jin Mao tower in Shanghai China. However after 2 weeks (Jan 19 to Feb 2) from launch Microsoft managed to sell a mere 244 copies of Windows Vista. Software piracy is rampant in the middle kingdom and a pirated version of Vista sells for a mere $1 on the streets. The following numbers are quoted by Windows Vista chief distributor in Bejing. Piracy is still a serious concern in China and you can check out the link for more details, as well as photos of the pirated product.
