Stop Scratching and Start Reading !

Many of us have been debating about the India's chance of making to Super-8. Fortunately Sri Lanka's win over Bangladesh did world of good for India. India needs one win against Sri Lanka, any margin will do. Bangladesh to make it to the Super Eight, Sri Lanka must beat India. (A washout will do nicely too, but with a reserve day in hand, it's unlikely that a decisive result won't be reached.) or they need to beat Bermuda with a huge margin.

Here are the scenarios which decide the fate of this group of death.

India versus Sri Lanka
Scenario 1 Sri Lanka bat first, score 260, and India win with one over to spare

Sri Lanka's NRR will drop from 4.59 to 2.99, while India's will drop marginally to 1.72.

Scenario 2 India bat first, score 265, and win by 2 runs

Sri Lanka's NRR will be 2.98, while India's will be 1.69.

For Bangladesh to then make it to the Super 8, they'll need to go past India's NRR. However, as the two scenarios below show, the gap between the two NRRs is just too large.

Bangladesh versus Bermuda
Scenario 1 Bangladesh score 300, and restrict Bermuda to 120 to win by 180 runs

Despite the huge margin of victory, Bangladesh's NRR will only improve to -0.08.

Scenario 2 Bermuda are bundled out for 120, and Bangladesh wipe off the target in 15 overs

In this case, due to the fact that Bangladesh will only bat 15 overs, their NRR will only increase to -0.7.

In either case, Bangladesh's NRR will be well below India's which means the only chance for them to get into the Super 8 is if Sri Lanka get past India. Given Sri Lanka's awesome form in their two matchs so far, though, it will need a brave man to bet against that happening.

Dont Judge Vista Before You Know It

PC World conducted the tests on vista's performance while using different hardware and applications. In their first test they have discovered that while vista's hardware requirements are steep, it should run just fine even with aero active on machine which has the minimum requirements specified by Microsoft(1GB RAM, DirectX 9c compatible graphic card with atleast 128MB of dedicated memory).

There main findings:

• Vista is generally slower than XP, but it's better at multi-tasking on dual core PCs.
  
• Your PC should have 1GB of RAM at minimum.
• Aero won't slow you down if you use a discrete graphic processor and enough memory.
• Apps run slower on 64 bit version but using higher RAM will close the gap.

Here are the test results.

Notice the difference in the performance of Vista with Dual core.


Using 2GB might help some applications but not a big deal.


As the reports states, apps runs faster in 32-Bit windows Vista


spend few bucks and enjoy the vista bliss !

Transform XP to vista in less than one hour

You can be holdout and use a few XP-based freebies that do a surprisingly good job of emulating some of vista's fancy graphic features. Some of the apps are listed below.

Copernic Desktop Search: Vista's Search is fast and smart and so is Copernic's, with keyword, file content, Boolean and wildcard searches. If you don't like the look and feel of copernic. Google Desktop makes a good substitute.

Desktop Sidebar: Vista has a handy windows Sidebar with calendars,calculators, a quick link to your media player and RSS feeds. Desktop Sidebar offers similar features, with zillion of add-ons including a file browser, a weather summary, news updates and an e-mail checker. Too complicated for you? Then try the simple LaunchBar Commander. which lets you create a multiple on-screen panels for launching various applications and documents.

Vista Start Menu SE: This utility creates a fair limitation of Vista's Start menu, but adds functions that Vista lacks, built-in shortcut keys to frequently used windows functions as Reboot, Switch Users, and Hibernate. Another great alternative for organizing apps and files is JetStart FREE; it's faster than Vista Start Menu SE, but less fancy.

Visual Task Tips: This clever tool pops up a preview, a miniature image of the open window in the taskbar. Scroll you mouse wheel up or down the image to resize it.

Folder Marker: Customize your folder icons and icon backgrounds with Vista icons. Folder Marker is a snap to use, and you can visit Horizon Software to download a bunch of Vista icons.

WindowBlinds 5: One prominent Vista feature you might like is Windows Glass, the semitransparent colored edges that Windows Aero has. WindowBlinds 5 provides skins, visual styles and themes that allow you to change the look and feel of many parts of Windows XP. Its not a FREE software(though you can get the crack), lets you midify toolbar icons, the Start Menu and Start button as well. Get the Vista Plus Version 2 skin at the WinCustomize site.
