SteamOS update adds Dual-Booting and BIOS support

SteamOS update

 

"Those brave souls who have decided to partake in the SteamOS beta test will be please to find out that they can now dual-boot the OS, allowing them to restore Windows to its former glory.

Users were originally forced to dedicate their entire systems to Valve’s SteamOS beta when it launched in December, recommending that only experienced Linux users attempted to get to grips with, still basic, OS…

Here's The SteamOS Desktop In All Its Erm... Glory

This latest update to the SteamOS essentially allows for three more potential avenues of users, thanks to introducing dual-booting options, custom partitions, and support for BIOS-based PCs. The original version required a PC locked and loaded with UEFI support, but this has since been scrapped.

To have a go at the new dual-boot options you’ll have to download the SteamOS beta and select the new “Expert Install” option. Valve engineer John Vert is still nevertheless warning that very little testing has been conducted on this new dual-booting build. if you don’t want to end up looking like Wiley E. Coyote after having an ACME bomb dropped on his bonce it’s probably best to stay clear.

Since the beta launch of Steam OS Valve has also introduced support for Intel and AMD graphics in addition to Nvidia GPUs. Things seem to be trucking on at a steady pace ahead of Steam Machine debuts later in the year."

Resident Evil 4 HD

Resident Evil 4 Extreme Ultimate Maximum Best HD Edition

Biohazard 4 HD edition

"Resident Evil 4 is once again infecting PC, this time courtesy of a super duper Ultimate HD Edition, setting a new benchmark for high-definition.

Shinji Mikami’s revelatory survival horror experience first landed on PC seven years ago, but the new Resident Evil 4: Ultimate HD Edition is promising silky-smooth 60 frames per second gameplay and all at the greatest graphical quality ever…

Resident Evil 4 has been doing the rounds on nearly every console since its release on Gamecube back in 2005, but this re-release will apparently be the place to play it. Fully optimised for PC, Resident Evil 4: Ultimate HD Edition will have upgraded textures, characters, backgrounds and objects. For its time Resident Evil 4 was always a lavish looking game so this should hold up well.

Arriving for Steam means it will come with all the usual bells and whistles such as Steam trading cards, achievements and global leaderboards. It will also include all of the released DLC in an ultimate bundle. I jest… Those were the days.

Resident Evil 4 follows Leon Kennedy as he makes his to remote Eastern European village to rescue the President's daughter from a mysterious cult infected by a mutated virus. Textbook Resident Evil in other words. The game is fondly remembered for pioneering the over-the-shoulder third-person perspective that has become standard practice in games today.

Resident Evil 4 is already one of the best Resident Evil games going, so if you haven’t had a chance to play this yet it will inevitably be worth picking up and boy are you in for a ride.

Resident Evil 4: Ultimate HD Edition is set to arrive for PC on February 28th."

I've played the ABSOLUTELY NORMAL Biohazard 4. And then they make the HD version, why don't they just make another story, or continuing RE 6? I don't understand how things work in technology and money.

Windows 9??

Microsoft Rumoured to be Readying A Windows 9 Release on October 2014

Windows 9 News

"Fresh rumours are circulating that the impending arrival of Windows 9 could be much earlier than previously suspected, with Windows leaker WZor claiming that it could be ready to be sent to manufacturers as early as this Autumn.

Previous noises coming out of the Windows camp seemed to suggest an April 2015 release for the follow-up to the lacklustre Windows 8, but if this rumour is true then it would seem that Microsoft is very keen indeed to bury its current OS…

Microsoft now looks to be doing whatever it can to distance itself from Windows 8, despite it turning a corner during recent months with the Windows 8.1 update. This brought a barrel-load of changes to Windows 8, including the return of the homely Start button.

WZor is apparently a well-known source for Microsoft software leaks, with this news stemming from a Tweet indicating that Windows 9 would be complete by October 21st 2014. The new Windows is expected to further push the ‘Metro 2.0’ Modern UI concept, making the interface much more accessible for all users."

Not much to say, I hate Windows 8, and I know I'll hate windows 9 too. Why? because the interface. everything in the start button changed from windows 7 to windows 8, and it's even became more complicated.
