Robert McLaws — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 09:23:25 GMT

Windows 95 was released just before before people started gtting serious about the Internet. It is nearly impossible to find the original press release anywhere online. Until now.

This document was obtained from Waggoner Edstrom, Microsoft's PR firm, while doing reearch for my articles on The True Cost of Windows. It is the only known copy on the Internet.

Enjoy.

Wallpapers - Windows Vista Starter

Robert McLaws — Sun, 25 Feb 2007 19:12:48 GMT

Windows Vista Starter has a bunch of really great wallpapers that I thought shouldn't be exclusive to countries the World Bank considers poor. So I've put them together into this zip archive for your enjoyment. The Readme.txt file has instructions on where to put them to that they show up in the "Personalization" dialog.

UPDATE: The reason the zip file wouldn't download properly is because my web server has been trying to use HttpCompression to reduce the size of the file being transferred over the wire. The problem is, the file is already compressed, causing the error when you try to open it. For now, I've shut off compression altogether for this section of the site... so the pages may load a bit slower, but at least the file will download. Sorry about that.
