Mauro — Mon, 27 Aug 2007 05:10:57 +0000

Some days ago, it was discoverer that playing mp3 on Vista with browsing at the same time will slow down your network.

The news was reported by newspaper and Microsoft was forced to respond to the issue.
Take a look at the answers here, but the “interesting” one is:

“Please note that some of what we are seeing is expected behavior, and some of it is not. In certain circumstances Windows Vista will trade off network performance in order to improve multimedia playback. This is by design.”

Please…. who in this world could design a modern OS that will slow deliberately the network interface?

ops! microsoft!

If you try to play HD contents, what is see is not what you paid for: the content will be downscaled during the flow from your player to your monitor.
There are a lots of sources explaining what is happening, but for me the question is: who will refund my money spent for a High Level PC if I cannot enjoy HiDef contents ?

Dicono sia la cosa più facile al mondo:
Tenere premuto per un pò il tasto “Windows” e il tasto “e” contemporaneamente.

Questa è proprio il genere di innovazione che stavamo aspettando: basta con programmi come Office, virus, troian e similia. La feature arriva direttamente da Microsoft!!!
