Mac OS X 10.4.6

Finally got mac OS X up and running on vmware workstation . However , it is awfully slow to use on it because firstly you can't install vmware tools on it and secondly only one processor can be used. If two processors are selected then it simply won't boot up. So there's practically no point installing it on a vm unless you just want to play around with it , although there isn't much stuff that you can do. Anyway , here are the screens:

Crayon Physics Deluxe

Crayon Physics Deluxe isn't just one of the most inventive and clever puzzle games in recent years; it's also a fantastic trip on the way back machine to when you were a tot, armed with a fistful of crayons and a desire to just draw. This is a standout puzzle game that anyone can instantly comprehend, and it carries with it a cool factor that will cause your friends to stop and gawk in amazement.







The premise of this tiny, independent game is that you use your mouse to draw with crayons on paper, just like you did when you were little. But when you were little, you had to use your imagination to see your drawings animate and come to life. In Crayon Physics Deluxe, whatever you draw is imbued with physical life, gaining mass and falling to the bottom of the screen, as if gravity were tugging on it. It's like magic, and in an industry dominated by explosions and eye candy, it's incredible how something so simple can captivate you.





On each of the game's 70 levels, you must guide a red ball to touch a yellow star. Aside from being able to give the ball a slight nudge to the left or the right, you can't manipulate it directly. What you must do is draw solutions on the paper so that the ball can reach the star; you might need to draw a rope bridge, create a pulley system, draw a series of ramps, or more to set up interlocking constructions. While many puzzles have easy solutions to them, you can have fun and let your imagination soar; there were times I eschewed the easy solution just to try and see if my silly-yet-fun alternative solution could actually work.





This is such a simple yet brilliant puzzle game that anyone can pick up and enjoy. Needless to say, it's a great game for kids as well as adults. Granted, it's not the most challenging puzzle game ever made, but there's a rare charm and a joy to it. You may think you're too old for crayons, but give this game a chance and within no time you'll be transported to your youth, grinning once more at the possibilities in front of you.

Windows 7 (beta)

Just installed Windows 7 on a virtual machine .
The specs of the virtual machine are
Core 2 quad (2.4ghz) (2 processors)
1 gb Ram
30 gb HDD

To be honest it's much better than vista although i couldn't use the dedicated video card in it since the virtual machine used it's own graphic accelerator. But otherwise it's very stable and great performance .
In short, it's vista with some polish and excluding all the bugs in vista. I'll definitely be making this my primary OS once the full version is out . Currently i'll have to live with vista
