Two words to sum up the new release candidate from Microsoft? Polished and fast. Windows 7 is the latest project from Microsoft and has been rumored have over 3 years of work put in to it. It includes many new features which beta testers (including myself) have welcomed pleasantly. It is clear that speed was one of Microsoft’s top priorities when working on this OS as it is evident that there is an enormous speed hike between Windows Vista and Windows 7. This release is not just a previous OS patched up with minor new features and bug fixes, it is actually a whole new operating system. There are changes everywhere from the desktop to the taskbar to the registry. The handling of windows is made as easy as it can get with useful engineering. Certain gestures will allow you to single out a window, expand it or place it on one side of the desktop for easy file transfer.

Ryder here again, I have enabled mobilepress which is a plugin that enables a more mobile-friendly experience.  For those of you who have Symbian, Windows, or iPhone type of smartphones will now enjoy a faster and easier mobile experience to view and comment on the latest blog posts.

We are consistently making background changes to the site for a more user-friendly experience, and we are working on more content which you should be able to see soon

LIQUID UPDATE: If you are on the mobile site you can revert back to the full version by scrolling all the way to the bottom and clicking “View Full Version”, or by typing http://hexryde.com/?nomobile in the adressbar.

Sometimes when a webmaster updates a page, the user would not be able to see the latest update due to the cache.  This is when the computer keeps a “memeory” of the old page to load it quickly for the next visit.  This can be easily cleaned up with this method:

1. Start –> Run –> Type in “cmd” without the quotes

2. Type:  “ipconfig /release” without the quotes

3. Type:  “ipconfig /flushdns” without the quotes

4. Type:  “ipconfig /renew” without the quotes

There that should have cleared all the cache, so the next time you visit a page you should be able to see the latest update!
