TechZone is now Byte Lounge

Over the past year, you might’ve noticed that there wasn’t any updates on TechZone. This was because the website was unfortunately shut-down, and this post will officially be the final post on this website. Of course, the site will still be kept up online, and you’re more than welcome to browse through the archives over the year that TechZone was active and alive.

However, Radtech Software Technology, a Durban-based online media company, has officially taken charge of the TechZone franchise, and overhauled it into what is now Byte Lounge, a digital lifestyle blog that offers news, reviews, views and how-to’s on the world of technology.

Byte Lounge is very much alive and active, and is updated on a regular basis by the same blogger who started and ran TechZone Online, Rahul Dowlath. Essentially, it is very similar in nature to TechZone, but the quality of the content has been greatly improved, and we sincerely hope that you’ll enjoy reading it.

So, to keep up with trends in the online world, visit the digital lifestyle blog Byte Lounge today!

The Road to 7 Begins!

Where’s the point to upgrade to Vista, when in approximately 2009-2011 Microsoft will release Windows 7 – the successor to Vista, and possibly the ray of hope for most PC users (like me).

What’s even more exciting for us “Windows fanboys” is that Microsoft has reportedly begun work on the new OS (operating system), and Milestone 1, the name of the very first build of Windows 7, with development version 6.1.6519.1, has already been completed (on December 20, 2007).

Here’s a screenshot of the Desktop of Windows 7 Milestone 1:
