[description], Story, any other text you want to use. The Death of Windows by: Stephen Bucaro I have always regretted how Microsoft price gouges and rips off computer users. I really regret Windows XP activation. I have always intended to convert to Linux, but it isn't easy for a Windows user since version 3.0. Recently, I purchased the book "Moving to Linux" by Marcel Gagne. The interesting thing about the book is that it includes a bootable Linux CD-ROM. "Knoppix" is a special version of Linux that you can run entirely from your CD drive. You can run Linux without uninstalling Windows or making any changes to your PC. I tried the Knoppix CD on a Windows 2000 machine with a 200 MHz pentium II and 128 RAM, a very low power machine by today's standards. Linux provides you with step-by-step status information, and I ignored several error messages as Knoppx was booting. It took a while for Linux to boot from the 52X CD-ROM drive, but then Windows 2000 also takes forever to boot on this machine. To my amazement, Knoppix booted successfully, with the proper screen resolution and access to all the drives. To my further amazement, the CD-ROM contained OpenOffice.org 1.0. I used OpenOffice to create a file. I couldn't save the file to the hard disk, probably because of access rights (NTFS or Linux), but I could save it to a floppy disk. Later, I opened the floppy disk file on a different Windows 2000 machine with the Windows version of OpenOffice. In his book, Marcel Gagne gives you several tips to make knoppix start faster and work faster. For example, he provides a command that creates a Linux swap file on your Windows partition, and a command that saves Knoppix configuration to a floppy disk. Note: If you have a broadband Internet connection, you can download Knoppix from www.knoppix.net (700 MB). You also need to know how to burn raw data to CD-R. The book gives you all kinds of information about the different Linux distributions, appications, and how to use Linux, plus the included Knoppix CD is all set to run, so I think the book is worth the extra cost. If want you to explore and learn about Linux without uninstalling Windows or making any changes to your PC, Knoppix is the way to go. Maybe someday everyone will carry a Knoppix CD and a CD-RW to use on any computer they find. That day will truly be the death of Windows.

webcasting
What determines which webcasting sites attract advertisers? Sites whose audience demographics match those of the advertiser's customer base. For instance, companies who sell webcasting to businesses, want to pitch their message to executives who making decisions in that area. To put it bluntly, the webcasting advertiser wants to get their message to you, the consumer. That's why they use appropriate and appeal banners and links like those shown below. Once again, the webcasting demographics of the Web are a key factor in determining whether this strategy works. It's vital to understand who uses the Internet and who visits the webcasting sites. Although computer technology makes it possible to gather some very specific data about site visitors, some demographic information is best gathered by asking you for your feedback. That's why many websites require you to register. They're trying to figure out who you are and what your particular interest in webcasting might be. Real Time Media On The Net Index
