Windows Me

Dave Benfer will have cycled 12,500 miles by the time he completes his US bicycle tour. He left Seattle, Washington on the 29th of July, 2010 with the singular goal of raising awareness about biking. To do so, he gave up his quiet life in Seattle and hit the streets. During this time, he’s had 35 flat tires, replaced 2 sets of bike tires, 2 sets of chains and 4 sets of bicycle brake pads. Not only that, but he has logged over 400 hours of video on Windows Live Movie Maker on his Windows 7 PC the HP Mini210 - a 2lb netbook that he uses to connect to the internet at public libraries.

One thing I love about Windows is that there is such a strong base of super knowledgeable enthusiasts doing cool, fun things with the platform. Whether it’s building high powered gaming rigs with modified cases, tiny home theater PC’s or customizing the Windows experience to make it do exactly what you want it with software or settings, it seems there is an expert for every scenario. When those experts share that knowledge it strengthens the community, benefits enthusiasts everywhere and inspires others to join in and collaborate.

Kevin Purdy from Lifehacker posted earlier this last week about how to "geek out" with Windows Media Center but in such a way that non-geeks can take advantage and use. For you Windows Media Center geeks (or aspiring geeks) out there - this post is a must read. In the post, Kevin talks about Netflix, easy sharing of media using Windows 7's HomeGroup feature, Internet TV, and installing a TV tuner turning your PC into a DVR.
