Mountain Lion Developer Preview

Coming this summer is incredible new features with Apple's latest release Mountain Lion.  Better sync support for iCloud, AirPlay, Gatekeeper and Messages.  There are a ton of new features, once that sounds particularly exciting is the AirPlay service that will allow you to send what you see on your Mac to your AppleTV.  This can be fantastic for showing videos, pictures and simply browsing from your couch.  Another feature of interest is Gatekeeper, an additional layer of security for your Mac.  While Apple has done a lot to help prevent infections, our store is seeing them frequently and an additional layer of security is necessary in today's world.  You can view the new features in detail at Apple's site and download the Developer Preview from here.

Windows 8 Consumer Preview Demo in Store

Not even 2 years sense the release of Windows 7, Microsoft is at it again with their latest operating system, Windows 8.  Scheduled for release in October of this year the consumer preview edition is now available on Microsoft's web site and we've downloaded to take a look.  At first glance the new operating system appears vastly different.  Integrating your Windows Live ID into your operating system to offer Cloud Connect and a new interface called Metro that does away with the Start button that we have known for almost 20 years.  This is going to be a large change, especially for those still running XP.  Come on down and take a look, download the preview for yourself, and if you're interested in moving away from Microsoft, Ubuntu 12.04 will be released on April 26th.

The consumer preview is available from Microsoft here.

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS Released!

Today marks the release of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS one of my favorite linux distributions.  With enhancements to Unity it actually looks like this is the linux for everyone.  Faster then ever the system performs well on modern systems, however it does require 1gb of ram and a decent graphics card for Unity to function smoothly.  On faster machines it screams, but does breath new life into older systems as well.  With Windows 8 coming out in October and many people still struggling to make the move from Windows XP now is a great time to move to linux.  Our techs use linux everyday, and we're big fans of Ubuntu so visit www.Ubuntu.com and download it for Free today.  If you need help installing and setting it up on your machine our techs offer Ubuntu Installation at our store in Albuquerque, NM for only $149.99.  We will install Ubuntu, configure drivers and setup your system to take full advantage of linux.  Ubuntu even includes an app store that allows you to install your favorite programs with a simple click of a button.
