What’s that? You don’t eat, sleep and breathe technology? Then chances are, you’re going to come across some terms you’re not familiar with during your switchover to Vista. Here are a few definitions to help you feel more at home in this high-tech world:


Aero: Vista’s newly designed user interface—in all editions except Home Basic—offering translucent windows, live taskbar thumbnails, smoother window animation and Flip 3D (see below).

DirectX 10: Vista’s groundbreaking graphics technology—it works behind the scenes, allowing you to experience high-performance graphics, such as a new level of realism in games.

Driver: A set of instructions (typically a .dll file) that allows your devices—printer, hard drive, video card, etc.—to function properly on your system.

Firewall: A program that helps prevent unauthorized access to your internet-connected computer (or network) by filtering ingoing and outgoing traffic.

Flip 3D: A Windows Aero feature that allows you to view all open windows in a 3D stack. Press Start+Tab then hold down Start and press Tab to rotate through open windows.

Forum: An online community where you can read or post questions, answers or comments on a particular topic.

Patch: A fix for, or enhancement to, a software program.

Shadow Copy: A Vista feature that creates copies of your documents as you work, allowing you to retrieve previous versions. (Available in Business, Ultimate and Enterprise editions only.)

Sidebar: A pane on one side of your Vista desktop that holds gadgets—mini-programs that offer frequently used tools or information.

SuperFetch: A Vista technology that preloads into system memory the programs and files you use most, so they’ll load faster.

My Husband left me for another woman, And i am so glad that my husband is back today, with the help of Dr ihunde, He is Powerful and Genuine, My name is Becky Miller , I live in California,USA. I'm happily married to a lovely and caring husband ,with three kids. A very big problem occurred in my family seven months ago,between me and my husband .so terrible that he took the case to court for a divorce.he said that he never wanted to stay with me again,and that he didn't love me anymore.So he packed out of the house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get him back,after much begging,but all to no avail.and he confirmed it that he has made his decision,and he never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my husband .So i explained every thing to him,so he told me that the only way i can get my husband back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for him too.So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow his advice. Then he gave me the email address of the spell caster whom he visited.{ihundespelltemple@gmail.com}. So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address he gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my husband back the next day.What an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me,and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my husband who didn't call me for the past seven 9 months,gave me a call to inform me that he was coming back.So Amazing!! So that was how he came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and he apologized for his mistake,and for the pain he caused me and my children. Then from that day,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster. So, i will advice you out there to kindly visit the same website { Link } if you have any problem contact Dr ihunde ,{ ihundespelltemple@gmail.com }, thanks you Dr ihunde, i will always be testifying about your good work
