Microsoft Vista News: Downloads Cheap Air Jordan 12 Retro For Sale , Extended XP Support, And One Billion Dollars Computers Articles | January 26, 2007

Here's the latest on Microsoft Vista, including a new method of delivery, extended support for XP users, and one billion dollars!



There?s been quite a bit of news regarding Microsoft Vista downloads and options lately, so here's a quick recap for you!


In the past, Microsoft has supported an OS version for two years after releasing a new one. CNN?s website has reported that MS has announced that they will offer what they call ?extended support? for XP for five years after the initial two-year support ends in 2009. What?s the catch? The extended support will cost you. No exact fees have been released, but MS reports they expect most support in that five-year period to carry a fee.


You?ve probably heard that Microsoft will offer Vista via download as well as the traditional methods, but did you know home users will be able to upgrade from one home Vista version to another? That?s the theory, according to MS. When a user decides they want to pay more for a more robust version of Vista, they?ll be able to do so without another download or full install. Of course, money will be involved! The user will be prompted for payment, and after doing so, the appropriate Vista features will then be available. (Source: MSNBC website.)


Finally, The Wall Street Journal announced that Microsoft's net income fell 28% as revenue edged up to $12.54 billion. That doesn't include one billion dollars in deferred sales of Vista and the new MS Office. Dr. Evil was unavailable for comment, but even he?d say that?s pretty good money, deferred or not!

>How to Enjoy a More Sustainable Mountain Biking Trip in Lake Tahoe

Posted by MileyMunroe on July 11th, 2019


Unless the Tahoe area is covered in snow, any season is perfect for mountain biking in Lake Tahoe. Not only is the area home to the famous Flume Trail, but it also boasts of some of the most beautiful mountain biking trails in the country. However, with increased attention being given to the negative environmental effects of mountain biking, you need to take up measures that will reduce your impact on the trails and their natural beauty. So, here are some ways in which adventurous mountain biking in Lake Tahoe can be done sustainably:


1. Stay on the trail.


It is completely normal for you to want to veer off track and explore new trails and un-trodden grounds. However, every off-trail adventure that you embark on leaves behind a lot of erosion and destruction to the surrounding vegetation. So, it is best that you stay on the trail.


2. Keep your speed under control.


When you pick up a high speed on your bike, it becomes crucial for you to hit the brakes when you approach an obstacle, hikers or cyclists. When you hit the brake, you unknowingly cause excessive damage to the terrain. Therefore, you should try to ride at a speed that you can handle without having to slam the brakes at every turn.


3. Be mindful of animals in the area.


Bike trails often affect wildlife in the area, because the sound of speeding bikes can frighten the animals and also disrupt their lifestyle. You can help with the safety of the animals by keeping an eye out and slowing down in areas that are specially marked. When riding in areas where you might encounter big animals, wearing a bell can help ensure that you do not startle them.


4. Pick up debris along the way.


It is a no-brainer that littering should not happen, but you will still find trails dotted with plastic bottles, packets, wrappers and a host of other kinds of trash. If you happen to encounter such trash, pick it up. Carrying a trash bag when you ride can be helpful. You can also clean the trails by picking up fallen branches and other debris so that other riders do not widen the trail.


5. Clean your bike after every ride.
