180 million licenses for Windows Vista

Windows Vista No Comments »

You read it right. Microsoft has sold 180 million licenses of Windows Vista following their announcement on posting 60 billion dollars of revenue for fiscal year 2007 - 2008, the highest in their history.

That is definitely a lot of licenses; however, John Fontana of PCAdvisor was quick to say “http://www.pcadvisor.co.uk/news/index.cfm?newsid=13767″. Microsoft care less of that comment. 180 million licenses is titanic coupled with 60 billion dollars.

Nonetheless, Microsoft should still continue to address user concerns on Vista.

File Sheriff 1.1.8

OSX No Comments »
About File Sheriff
Managing files with the Finder in Mac OS X can only take you so far. File Sheriff allows you to easily generate icon previews, rename your MP3 files based on their ID3 tags, batch-apply file attributes, edit hidden file options, and more!

Long past are the days of having to fiddle with type and creators in Mac OS 9 to get files to launch in the correct application. Today, we’re dealing with a mixture of file extensions and the Finder has that handled pretty well! However, it’s still lacking the ability to give you full control over some of the advanced features files offer. With File Sheriff, set the bundle bit, custom icon setting, visibility, and more of any file or folder! Many more features.
