With Windows 7 officially released, will you be getting up early to purchase your copy? It has been a long time coming (I really don’t count Vista as a usable operating system), a stable a somewhat decent OS from Microsoft.

Windows 7 – Looks Just Like Vista

Is it me or is Windows 7 looking a lot like Vista? In the latest Windows 7 M3 build, we see that there are some differences, but subtle at best.

Leopard On The EEEPC

I have written a lot about the Asus EEEPC. We even covered that crazy dude who put every possible hardware mod into the thing.

Now this is what I call a serious case mod. Some guy in Japan has taken his old Super Nintendo (known as the Super Famicom over there) and turned it into a Windows PC. He started off with an MSI Axis 945GM bare-bones system and jigged it to fit into the Super Nintendo’s case. He [...]
