Just Tech 2.0.

The entire tech community has bashed Microsoft OS Developers for Performance issues on Windows Vista. One developer, Dino Nuhagic created a new software vLite that will strip Windows Vista of unnecessary components such as Windows Photo Viewer, MSN Installer, Wallpapers, SlideShow, Windows Mail and other utilities.

The Vista Home Premium and Ultimate edition require a whopping 15 Gigs of memory space which is why vLite was developed. Just like the American obesity, Vista is in the same boat when compared to its predecessor, Windows XP.

You can download vLite and get rid of additional Vista Components.

The Canon Pixma MX700 is a solid SOHO multi-function device for regular text and high quality prints, really especially photos and heavy graphics.

The device is a well built silver and black body. It also includes a 1.8 inch color display to view photos when functioning in Pictbridge or card reader mode. The device is equipped with front and rear paper trays capable of holding 30 sheets each. The flatbed scanner features an automatic document feeder, and can scan at 24-bit color depth at resolutions of 2400*4800 dpi.

The test photos were great with vibrant and true-to-life colors when printed on glossy photo paper. You can take prints directly from a digital camera using the Pictbridge port or the built-in card reader. However, the device did not give the claimed "impressive fast prints" during the test. One another downside is the printer has a duplex printing option but lacks an automatic duplexer which means you have to manually reverse the paper and put it back into the rear paper tray.

The printer comes with a 2 year warranty with a suggested retail price of Rs 17,000.
