Well folks it’s 22 October 2009, and Windows 7 with it’s 6 versions has been released. I’m sure that you’re wondering which version is right for you? Do I have to upgrade. Should I upgrade? Should I get a new computer with Windows 7 on it? Well QC Design Tech is here for all of your Windows 7 questions.

FYI | Happy Birthday Windows XP | 8 Years old on Sunday, October 25th. Originally released in 2001. Are you still using a decade old OS?

First and foremost I am currently using Windows 7 on a production system and have been impressed with it’s performance, and features. Simple additions to Vista’s Aero interface like real time thumbnail previews of your task bar. Greater desktop control by simply dragging your windows to the edge of the screen. Windows 7 also has added a slew of security enhancements, and has timed the release of the new operating system with Microsoft’s new anti-virus system Microsoft Security Essentials.

First of all DON’T PANIC.

Now that we’re over that I’m writing today to talk about the release of Ubuntu 9.10. This is the newest update in the Ubuntu Linux line of Operating Systems. For those of you unfamiliar with Ubuntu or Linux will find it as a not so different replacement for Microsoft Windows, or Apple’s Mac OS. It operates on the same computer systems, and many of the programs that you know work in Ubuntu, or have similar replacements.

Ubuntu is not meant to be an Apple or Microsoft clone. It is meant to be a better operating system, and a better user experience. It’s very fast, has little opportunity for virus’, works well an a variety of hardware, it’s FREE.

Now the last part may throw many off. Yes this is a FREE operating system. Ubuntu is community driven with a corporate backing. This means the code for the operating system is written, tested, and refined by many thousands of people. Anyone can submit a patch or custom code to Ubuntu. This is an OS where secrecy and trade secrets are not the number one concern. Speed and Security are the most important things.

My first post about Coworking brought in a few comments online, and a ton of interest offline. Many questions have been brought up, and many questions have turned into many more. As an experiment I will be opening up Lakeside RV, and my home for Coworking every other Wednesday starting on 21 October 2009. Next Wednesday I will be opening my home to friends, and friends of friends. Wired & Wireless Internet is available across the entire park.

I’m hoping that something productive/interesting/neat/cool/fun will come of this. Work doesn’t have to be a 9-5 in a cube. Work SHOULD BE FUN. Work should be something you love to do. Work should produce something not just produce productivity.

So I’ll be back in a few weeks to present you with Coworking Quads part 2, along with notes on the first Coworking experiment.

I for one will be working on a web design project for a new website. What will you work on?
