Windows 7
Originally this post was going to be about Apple TV ads, but it got depressing real fast so I deleted it. Instead I'm going to do my quick review of Windows 7 (I'm a PC guy, I despise Mac fanboys).
Overall, I've been really happy with W7. I got a new computer a couple of years ago and it came with Vista, which honestly, I never really had any problems with, but it definitely wasn't the greatest operating system. I think W7 has brought a lot of great tweaks and improvements. I'm not someone who goes nuts tweaking his computer, so most of my comments will focus on top level stuff.
Taskbar: The taskbar is sick. The preview functionality allows you to move your mouse over a tab (Firefox for example) and see mini previews of all your open windows and as you roll over those it shows the full size version. Makes it really easy to switch windows, and is really useful when you just need to quickly look at a window and then switch back to your original one.
Media Center: In Vista Pro they didn't give you Media Center, so I really have no comparison, but W7 Media Center is awesome. The best part is definitely the built in streaming Netflix capability, absolutely clutch if you're a Netflix subscriber. You can download a patch that links it directly to Hulu desktop, and hopefully MS will work out a deal with Hulu so it can be fully integrated.
File Storage: W7 has added a feature called Libraries which compiles all your files of the same extension. For example if you have 20 different files with music in them, all of your music will be in the music library so you don't need to switch between all of the folders.
Appearance: W7 has the best desktop/theme feature of Windows OS I've seen. Automatic desktop background switching, a TON of different built in and downloadable themes and overall a really nice aesthetic appeal. I'd say this puts Windows in a very good position to compete with Mac's well publicized looks.
Overall I'd say if you have a PC, the upgrade to W7 is worth it. I went for a clean install because my computer was starting to slow down anyways, and I wanted to get the feeling of a fresh computer again. Speaking of speed, so far it's booted really fast and programs have loaded really well. If you're a student, rock the $30 student deal.
Quick screenshot, plus a good look at the libraries feature:

Long Time, No See
Alright, so there hasn't been much Dipset news recently, unfortunately. So I've decided that in the interim I'm going to use this as a personal blog to see whether I can pull of an interesting blog without the help of Killa Cam. Judging by this introduction, I can't. But I'll try. Basically, expect a lot of posts relating to sports (football, hockey, college bball, and occasionally baseball), some TV and movie stuff, maybe a little music, and probably a lot of random. Will this feature the cleverly crafted iPhone videos featured on everydayisadipsetxmas.blogspot.com, probably not. Will it be easier to read than the in depth album reviews of david-albumoftheweek.blogspot.com... absolutely.
ANYWAYS, let's get to blogging and start with AK's favorite topic: hockey.
The Maple Leafs beat the Red Wings to get their first win streak of the season, two games! Can they keep it up? I hope so!
In Gustavsonn I trust!
And now, I'll leave you with this:
