Mercedes-Benz F 700

With its F 700 research car, Mercedes-Benz redefines the idea of effortless, superior refinement: this concept for a future luxurious touring sedan shows how outstanding riding quality can be combined with high levels of environmental friendliness, and good performance with exceptionally low fuel consumption. Thus, the 5.17 meter long F 700 with its innovative and very spacious interior design enables an entirely new and exceedingly comfortable mode of travel.

The F 700 is the world’s first car that can anticipatively recognize the condition of the road and level out the uneven spots with its active PRE-SCAN suspension, further improving suspension comfort substantially.

Starting February 1st of 2009, Microsoft will no longer sell Windows XP

As the limelight dawns upon the likes of Windows 7 beta release, much has been forgotten about the trusty old Windows XP. Starting February 1st of 2009, Microsoft will no longer sell Windows XP to its distributors. In short, users who wishes to use Windows XP need to buy the software when it is still available from the shelf.

Existing customers using Windows XP will still be supported with security updates until April 2014. Beyond the stated timeline will see many windows users making a switch to the much hyped Windows 7 platform and skip Windows Vista altogether. Talk about increased security feature and better end user experience in Vista OS huh? Anyway, let us end this article of the closure of Windows XP with the statement: Windows XP is dead !
