Windows Vista and Bill gates

I just read the news on Bill gates commenting on Windows Vista and its features. He says something like "Vista is going to rule the pc's like Windows 95 did when introduced". I really find nothing of interest in Vista.

All the features including the increased multimedia capabilities are already available for the pc user in the form of different softwares. May be Vista is going to combine all of them into a single package.

If Vista will be a big success, it will be because of Microsoft's marketing techniques rather than a ground breaking new Operating System. Let's wait and watch what they have in store with Vista for us.

Opera Mini for Mobile Phones..

My Sony Ericsson Z550i mobile has a built in NetFront Web Browser.

But the biggest problem with it is, it can't handle web pages having large sizes.

Opera Mini, the browser for all java enabled mobiles and devices from Opera browser creators is the solution for the problem. It uses a powerful proxy of its own which increases the browsing speed incredibly with very good page rendering.

For downloading opera mini go to www.operamini.com
