Say Farewell to Microsoft Windows 3.x

Say Farewell to Microsoft Windows 3.x

If you’ve noticed, the not so new OS of Windows 3.x (yes, the one with 7MB hard disk space, 640 KB RAM, a VGA video card that runs on a 10MHz 8086 CPU) is currently selling on eBay for as low as $4. There’s a reason for that: it’s shutting down. Yes, Microsoft has officially declared that Windows 3.x is no longer for sale.

It’s about time, though, since even the Windows XP is slowly giving way to Vista and its more innovative counterparts, and it would be a shame if it went out first before the REALLY old OS dies out.

Because of this, supermarkets and other simple calculating machine-reliant establishments that use cash registers and ticketing systems are going to have to upgrade their OS to at least the next available one in order to ensure their own maintenance and support from Microsoft. Although it seems that it’s a bit of an inconvenience, it’s actually one big step for technology today.

President Obama And Technology

Like everything else that America’s new President Obama has promised all throughout the grueling US presidential elections, there’s going to be change in the tech world starting within the country. Specifically, we’re talking about the different energy and environmental policies that Obama will be pushing for as soon as possible.

While the major projects are currently not feasible due to the slumping US economy, it does not stop the new and forming administration from forwarding small chunks of energy plans and environmental-friendly mandates within the country, which will eventually lead to more and more mechanisms that will give way to the eventual formal use of renewable energy and green technology.

These endeavors are held on to by many environmentalists and renewable energy advocates who hope for support through legislation in the future. As to whether or not these constituents will be satisfied, that’s up to the new administration to determine.
