There is great tool launched by System Requirements Lab especially for Windows Vista that analyzes your complete hardware and drivers and rate it for Vista. The tool provides a very good and easy user interface with cool tabs for viewing Minimum, Recommended and Optimal requirements. I used it on my eMachines T5234 for Windows Vista Premium and got satisfying results. It was too good and hence thought to share with you guys.
You can download the same from Here.
I am not willing to go with this tool because I guess they collect your system’s private info as well. And if there is any one saying that this tool wont read our private info than please explain me why is this in their code:
Quote:
document.reg_form.email.value = "slr@slr.com";
document.reg_form.first_name.value = "slr";
document.reg_form.last_name.value = "slr";
That's interesting SG. Can you explain what those mean? Am I eliminating
their traces when I eliminate cookies and temp. files? Thanks.
They use a JavaScript plug-in
Below is most of the code. I'm no expert on JavaScript and know very little,
but below the email, first name, last name commands is the rest of the code
that finds the info about your system. So the question is why have,
email.value, first_name.value and last_name.value in there if they are not
collecting this information? As to your question about cookies and temp
files, the answer is no. Once you run this JavaScript plug-in, they have all
they need.
