Is going to be very exciting! The blog not only will have a new name soon, but there are many special surprises coming up!

Vystal 4.0 Preview

maximustech — Fri, 18 Jan 2008 05:39:18 +0000

It actually looks pretty good, saying from the viewpoint that I have Vista. The preview video is right here:

Looks promising. I hope it isn’t a resource hog and runs as smooth as WindowBlinds, because if so, it will be a winner and I would recommend it. I don’t know whether it really is Vista’s DWM in XP or not, but when I know for sure, I will update everyone.

Don’t come here for ALL the news :P

I have been real busy trying to launch a graphics design website, along with lots of other things going on, that I really don’t have that much time for posting up news. There is a site called JCXP that has all the news. Just go to jcxp.net and sign up for the forums. There is a whole memberbase filled with news. I will find time to post other technology info here, but I do not have the time for digging up stories. Blue Pig GFX is the name for the photography and graphics design blog, and I need to make the logo, watermark the images, make the website, etc all in my spare time, and I don’t have that much spare time.

I will still be posting here however with other things, so be prepared for the blog to be slow at times.

Intel working on new gaming platform, SkullTrail

maximustech — Sun, 30 Dec 2007 17:12:26 +0000

Heads up by JCXP, info quoting HotHardware:

A few months ago, at the fall Intel Developer’s Forum, we got some hands-on time with an Intel Skulltrail system and were able to snap a handful pictures and document a few benchmark scores. At the time, Skulltrail was still in it the pre-production phase as Intel had a few changes in store for the platform, but it was mature enough for the company to show off what Skulltrail had in store.

Microsoft Connect Working on New Website

maximustech — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 20:32:19 +0000

I spotted the beta version of MS connect, and while the color scheme isnt my taste, it makes connect easier to navigate, and gives it a web 2.0 feel. I just started using it, and it has many new features, such as your dashboard has an overview of your suggestions, newsgroup postings, bugs, etc and makes things a little easier to get to.

They categorized the Connection Directory(formerly the ”Available Connections” page) and of course made it easier to navigate. There is a lot more improvements, but I just started to use it. See it all and try it for yourself…

Vista SP1 RC1 Released to Public, MS works on new build

maximustech — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 20:13:49 +0000

As a lot of you know already, Microsoft released Vista SP1 RC1 to the public for download by everyone, and not just a group of testers. Now, Microsoft is cooking up a new build of SP1 to be released, Windows SP1 RC2 v.735. I don’t know the exact date it is coming out, but it is going to be rather soon, and I will post up screenshots when I can along with more detailed info on it.

I am becoming active again

maximustech — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 20:08:49 +0000

I have not been posting on this site, or updating you with news mostly because I was sucked into the world of addictive online FPS games. I will be an active blogger again, so stay tuned for updates, and maybe some surprises …

According to Windows X (updated):

Sadly that I couldn’t bundle a user guide of this release together with the product since Maeroris doesn’t have much time to work on it and I already promised to release it in middle of this month (which seems to be late already).

-Fixed hotfix issue, no more workaround trick required to avoid that
-Ability to save transforming information for later uses and unattended transformation
-Ability to detect the targeted machine and give suggested setup configuration
-Some transformation procedures refinements you should look at like pre-configure on first run, removed obsolete dialogs and msn skin, etc.
-New 3rd-party apps and new version of existing apps
