Windows Tip: Imporve your internet speed!!! Get Rid of Bandwidth used by M$!!!

November 30, 2006 | 3:38 pm

I’ve heard that myth some four times this month alone, and that includes twice from my School Friends, who donno an APE from an API.

So, instead of me, an unknown kid with no reputation, kick this myth in the bunt, I’ll just link to Raymond Chen(fixed more bugs in Windows than Windows 98 crashed) who kicks it, in an eloquent, easy to understand way with an awesome example…

I bow down at thy feet, Raymond, and accept the worship of one more humble programmer…

I hope somebody gets fired for this…

 No offence buddy, but seriously, this craps up the whole thing for Windows Live Writer:

 

I thought the font tag died a horrible death some time ago, but it still lives through my outdated textbooks(which have almost no mention  of CSS) and now, Windows Live Writer…

Also, the Color Picker needs working:

 

When was the last time you saw that?

Seriously, Windows Live Writer is just plain awesome, but small non-webby stuff like these need to be ironed out before it’s perfect…

Get Rid of Installation Headaches with Windows Installer Cleanup Utility

November 22, 2006 | 4:52 pm

With the RTM release of Office 2007, It was time for me to install it. But, there was just one single problem: There was no upgrade path from Office 2007 Beta 2 TR to RTM. I just figured, “No Problems, I’ll just uninstall it”.

No Problems, eh? I uninstalled it, but still no luck: Office 2007 RTM installer just kicked me out saying that I still have “Pre-release versions of Office installed”. Even after kicking me all the Registry Keys that said “Office” from the Registry hive, I still had no solution…

Drumroll please. In steps this Windows Installer Cleanup Utility. Removes the Setup Information alone for just about any installed program. Saved me a ton of headaches…

Thanks to Brian M of the Microsoft Technet Forums.
