If your using Windows Live Writer, and you copy and paste images [for like taking screenshots], you may be unaware that Windows Live Writer is doing you a disservice by not using an optimized image. Or by not offering a choice when posting images.

When images are pasted in to Windows Live Writer the program inserts them as a PNG file. PNG’s are not as compressed as JPG and therefore resulting in larger images, more storage requirements and more bandwidth; resulting in a slower website.

Take a look at my examples…

Being a non-blogger I’m sure it’s easy to step back and say I can do that, ‘I can be a blogger’; I can make money doing that, but honestly can you?

I started my website as a service to my public; my family, friends, strangers that needed some help […here to go my site] and it was also to keep my customers informed about new technology on things that are happening in tech. It’s evolving so fast and there’s always something new for me to talk about with my co-worker, associates and random geeks [like me].

With Microsoft you can’t figure out from day to day what they’re doing, but looks like they have decided to ramp up the release date of Windows 7.

It’s no great secret they are racing the clock, literally watching the seconds crash away as they loose money on Microsoft Vista. With the layoffs at Microsoft, I’d say those are the same stupid SOB’s who programmed Vista to begin with.

At Microsoft TechEd North America 2009, Microsoft today announced that Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 will both be available to customers in time for the holiday shopping season. Previously, Microsoft’s official stance was that Windows 7 would be available no later than three years after the general availability of Windows Vista, meaning January 30, 2010. Based on the steady development of the OS though, many have predicted that Windows 7 would arrive earlier. Windows Server 2008 R2 was expected to arrive sometime after Windows 7, but now Microsoft has noted that the server OS will actually arrive in the same timeframe as its client counterpart. The Release Candidate builds for both operating systems went public last week.

The market predictions for Windows 7 has been greatly received and while the IT guru’s of the world have no great interest in upgrading to Windows 7 anytime soon, surely the growing pains Vista has trampled and stumbled through will make it easier for the next Operating System to gain some running room.

Keep your eyes peeled and watch for the rush to the computer stores for uber-geeks to get their hands on v7. We can expect so many horror stories and updates your head will spin.

It should be a early geek Christmas for some…
