Have you ever used Vista’s file search feature to find a file you know exists, but it doesn’t find the file? Here are some causes of this problem and how to fix them. There are two different ways to do a file search. You can search by location, or you can search the index.

Microsoft is putting the Windows client OS on a diet as a way to bring the PC OS into the age of cloud computing. Windows 7, Vista’s follow-up, already will be a thinner, more streamlined OS, replacing some of the software Microsoft previously included with the OS with Web-based Windows Live Services. And if comments made by Chief Software Architect Ray Ozzie at Microsoft’s Professional Developers Conference (PDC) this week are any indication, Windows will slim down even further in the future, returning to the original intent of an OS — a way to optimize the hardware it runs on — instead of being a bloated piece of software whose performance and value rely on compatibility with installed applications.
Over the past few months, Windows 7 has become the focal point of Microsoft’s message. The company has spent time discussing how it arrived at “7″ and why it will be the next great operating system from the software giant. In the meantime, the company has spent considerable time releasing ads to discuss Windows and PCs, but hasn’t done enough to talk about the benefits of owning Vista. But every chance it gets, Microsoft tells the world why we should all wait and see what will happen with Windows 7.
