Well folks, here it comes.  Windows Vista is going to the wayside and in comes Windows 7.  Looks like Microsoft will be releasing Windows 7 on October 22, 2009.  So remember what that means for Windows XP.  Look what happened to Windows 2000 when Vista came out, it went out of support life cycle. According to this link http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-xp/future.aspx XP will stop being supported in April of 2014.  Microsoft has already stopped manufacturing of Windows XP licenses.  So anything that is still stocked will be sold out and discontinued. 

If your looking for that Christmas Computer with the latest and greatest…expect to get it with Windows 7 installed or at least ready with an upgrade offer.

I am running windows Vista Business with Internet Explorer 7.  I did a Google Search for how many tabs can be open at once.  Nothing came up off the top so I decided to do an experiment.  I started opening tabs and got to 150 and it wouldn’t open any more.  So I checked my memory and it seemed to have about 99% full but I had a remote desktop application running.  So I shut that down and was back to 96% full memory.  It still wouldn’t let me open another tab.  So apparently you can only open 150 tabs in IE 7 under Vista.  I even opened another browser to type this blog entry and it worked.
