Want to save electricity?. But you love playing games and you use it too much?. Anyway I give you some tips that might help lower your electric bill
1. Replace your CRT monitor with LCD Monitor –
CRT Monitor (the big one) consumes more electricity than the LCD monitor. So I suggest that you use LCD monitor
2. Keep the temperature of your computer low – because when the temperature of processor is high it will consume more power.
3. Video cards – Powerful video cards consumes a lot of electricity so less powerful video cards consumes less electricity
4. Quad Core consumes more – Quad core processors consumes a lot of energy compared to the Intel’s Core 2 Duos or AMD X2. Quad core is mainly for multi-tasking and 3D editing and AFAIK, the only games that support quad cores are crysis and grand theft auto IV.
5. Use the battery of your laptop if possible – that means you should use your battery instead of plugging it. It can also prolong the battery of a laptop because you should keep the electrons moving.
Windows 7 has many versions from Windows 7 starter to Windows 7 Ultimate. This is the edition of windows 7 starting from the low-end up to the high-end
Starter – Home Basic – Home Premium – Professional – Ultimate
1. Windows 7 Starter and Home Basic will not come with AAC, H.264 or MPEG-2 support. Microsoft seems to have the intention to provide upgrades for those systems to add the support.
2. 4 Gigabytes of ram are supported by all Windows 7 editions in 32-bit mode. The differences are in 64-bit mode. Home Basic and Starter support a maximum of 8 Gigabytes, Home Premium 16 Gigabytes and Professional, Ultimate and Enterprise up to 192 Gigabytes of ram.
3. Windows Media Player Remote Media Experience (RME) is not available in Windows 7 Home Basic or Starter. However, all versions can share media over a home network.
4. All Windows 7 SKUs support 20 simultaneous SMB connections. This works out to 10 users, apparently.
5. Only windows 7 Professional, Ultimate and Enterprise support the Virtual XP Mode.
The editions are kinda confusing to some people. Compared to OS X Leopard, it has only 1 version.

Compatibility issues?, no problem because Windows XP mode is here. Compatibility issue was the biggest disappointment in Windows Vista and now I think Microsoft has an answer to it.
In the picture above you can see two microsoft word, one is 2003 and one is 2007. But did you notice the microsoft 2003?. The microsoft windows 2003 uses windows xp mode while the microsoft 2007 uses windows 7. That’s cool O_O.
here’s an article
XPM is built on the next generation Microsoft Virtual PC 7 product line, which requires processor-based virtualization support (Intel and AMD) to be present and enabled on the underlying PC, much like Hyper-V, Microsoft’s server-side virtualization platform. However, XPM is not Hyper-V for the client. It is instead a host-based virtualization solution like Virtual PC; the hardware assistance requirement suggests this will be the logical conclusion of this product line from a technological standpoint. That is, we fully expect future client versions of Windows to include a Hyper-V-based hypervisor.
XP Mode consists of the Virtual PC-based virtual environment and a fully licensed copy of Windows XP with Service Pack 3 (SP3). It will be made available, for free, to users of Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, and Ultimate editions via a download from the Microsoft web site. (That is, it will not be included in the box with Windows 7, but is considered an out-of-band update, like Windows Live Essentials.) XPM works much like today’s Virtual PC products, but with one important exception: As with the enterprise-based MED-V (Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization) product, XPM does not require you to run the virtual environment as a separate Windows desktop. Instead, as you install applications inside the virtual XP environment, they are published to the host (Windows 7) OS as well. (With shortcuts placed in the Start Menu.) That way, users can run Windows XP-based applications (like IE 6) alongside Windows 7 applications under a single desktop.

Yes you heard it right, Microsoft’s profit sinks for the first time in 23 years!.
Well, here’s the article at engadget
According to numbers that the company has just released, sales fell 6 percent year-over-year, while overall net income dropped a staggering 32 percent. Those numbers are significant, but what’s more telling is where those losses are coming from. Namely? Netbooks. Apparently, in the midst of a global downturn consumers really are buying cheaper, especially when it comes to tech, which puts a fairly significant crunch on Redmond’s bottom line. A CNN reports suggests that the presence of Linux on those devices has contributed to the hurt here, but it’s more likely that the combo of a market still unwelcoming to Vista and the wide popularity of XP on the low-power systems has more to do with these dipping profit margins. Oh, and that general, awful market depression.
Hey microsoft, Just release the windows 7.
