I was a bit nostalgic when I played the third player view game Recoil in my Virtual PC 2004 after installing Win98se.It made me go back to those days when my dad got us a Hifi advanced Pentium I with MMX technology in April 1998.The best 3d game at that time was Roadrash and Recoil demo version.Although system was really low in resources,but it has served the purpose and still continues to do it;I sold it to one of my friend who just uses for internet and entertainment.I don’t have a picture of it..but I remember the configuration here it goes and we bought that for a 1000$ and sold for a 50$,by dad was really pissed off with the depreciation of price in just 4 years of use.
Congi:
- Pentium 166Mhz processor with MMX
- 16MB ram upgraded to 32 MB in a year.
- 15″ samsonite Monitor.
- Max resolution 800*600
- 16X ASUS CDrom
- 2.1GB seagate hardsisk..damn I have a 2gb flash drive in my wallet.
- 36kbps External mono Dlink Modem.
- Floppy drive.
One think amazes me..I did have two OS running on this system win98se and red hat linux 6.0,2.1gb was more rthan enough for me.Thanks to virtual PC for letting me play my old games again.
Microsoft Private Folders Failure to launch…
Microsoft Private Folder is an add on application for Genuine Win XP users,which was released on Jul 10,2006 which stores private files in a folder in users desktop protected by password.But after an outcry from system admins and parents has made Microsoft to pull the strings off and disable Private folder.
It was a gr8 application but i don’t understand Y people raised so many doubts abt the applications use,there are a lot of other freeware application that does much better job like Winzip,Winrar with password protection is as good as Private folder.Most of the corporate provide winzip as part of the system and why not Private Folder..
May be Bcz its from Microsoft..these people are selfish..
To Microsoft developers of Private folder..when u can password protect a folder in desktop why not provide password protection to all folders..atleast to windows folders..so that people don’t corrupt the OS….
On the Whole microsoft provides software for everything thats non-essential to end user..
