Many users, including myself, had problems with the Realtek sound card’s drivers on Windows Vista. The most often problem is that you have no sound in Vista, no matter what. There are many sound cards based on the Realtek Ac’97 chipset and this may become a nightmare for fresh Vista installations.

Developers will be thrilled, Microsoft announced recently the pre-beta launch of the anticipated WIndows 7 operating system. Windows 7 attempts to “wash” the fiasco generated by Windows Vista at its release, but some are still very skeptical regarding this new WIndows version.
Developers will have the chance to see the new Windows 7 Alpha in action at the Professional Developers Conference in October. With his pre-beta launch, Microsoft clearly wants to stay on track with the final release, scheduled in 2010.

As a Windows XP or Vista user, you probably wondered how can you disable the system tray pop-ups when Automatic Updates are available or the firewall/antivirus is disabled.
