Microsoft plans to discontinue sales of Windows XP on June 30, 2008. Because XP is a tried and true OS, and because of numerous problems with Vista, many users and IT departments would prefer to stick with XP.
InfoWorld has an initiative to keep XP alive indefinitely.
You can help.

If you've used computers for more than a few years, you know that you don't wonder IF a hard drive will fail - you wonder WHEN.
It just happened to me - again. But this time it looks like the results will be pretty painless. The reasons?
* RAID Level 1
* Superb Hard Drive manufacturer warranty support

With my installation of Win7 complete, I moved on to installing my favorite software. Delphi 7 was high on my list but, when I went to install it, Win7 went all "politically correct" on me.
This post is about how I dealt with the problem.

This begins the saga of my personal experiences with Windows 7.
Although Prestwood IT Solutions has Win7 installed on some machines for testing purposes, I wasn't involved in setting any of them up. What follows are my personal experiences setting up a new Win7 machine for my home office, installing the software I need, and resolving the inevitable problems that arise along they way.

As with XP and Vista, Windows 7 creates a handful of folders intended to hold your various documents, music, videos, etc.
By default, these folders are placed on the machine's C: drive.
Depending on your ideas of where such data belongs, you may want these folders located somewhere other than the C: drive; I certainly did.
This is about how to do that.
