So after letting it sit for a whole week on my hdd, I finally had the time to boot up the Windows 7 Beta dvd images on my VMWare server installation.
blue pill? or red pill?
the install went very smooth. Soon I was greeted with a login screen eerily similar to Vista. But the label on the bottom ensure me that I did in fact have installed Windows 7, Ultimate Version. Thank God for that
the Ultimate Windows 7, Ultimate Edition
The look and feel, again is eerily similar to Vista, save for the odd looking blocky taskbar. Also I’ve noticed that they changed the way the log off/shutdown/hibernate thingy works. instead of defaulting on an icon that dubiously represent hibernate, it is now set to default on shutdown, represented by a button that clearly states “shutdown”. Good for them!
Windows Vista SP2... I mean 7!
The default install leave about 900MBish out of 8GB virtual drive that I have prepared. That’s of OS alone. Compare that to my 5GB Intrepid install that includes an office suit, 3 kind of browsers, google earth, a database server, http server, vmware, and so on and so forth…
This is one of the reason that why I rarely gave my hard-earned money to beggars.
Yes, when you have to beg for money so that you can eat, the first thing that you have to buy is ofcourse.. a cigarette..

OK, I’m highly unorganized person, so my office desk tends to look more like a garbage disposal site, where seemingly random things are placed at random…. place.
The desk arrangement of the IT Department have changed several times, and these are how my desk look, starting from the first time I worked there, to the current one.:
1st incarnation
2nd Incarnation
3rd Incarnation
