Microsoft Windows is a family of operating systems which is loved by many people across the world. Microsoft is the world’s leading provider of operating systems and is also people’s favorite choice. There is no wonder in the popularity of Microsoft Windows operating system among the people because of the different interesting and intriguing features that this family of operating systems comes loaded with. Today, Microsoft has become the first and last name when it comes to operating systems.    

  This operating system has many programs and utilities which might look useless, but have great relevance in many occasions. It is usual for your computer to get slowed down while you work on it for a long time. There can be many reasons for this, but you might usually get so much worried. One main reason for this slowing down is the large amount of data that is stored in your hard disk. It is not a recommended practice to store data on the hard drive disk to make it filled up. Your computer’s performance will be definitely affected due to this practice. According to the operating system manufactures, Microsoft, your machine needs at least five to ten percentage of free disk space to give you the best performance. So, go on and delete some of the unwanted files and folders from your physical drives to free up some space.   There can be issues with your machine to startup if it takes several minutes, which is not usual. This also might be because of the storage of large amount of data on your computer.  Along with deleting the data, try removing some unwanted applications too. There is something else that you can do. This is to disable some of the programs from the startup menu. To do this, click on ‘start’ and then on ‘Run’. Type ‘msconfig’ and press enter. A dialogue box will open up which will contain several tabs like General, SYSTEM.INI, WIN.INI, BOOT.INI, services and startup. Select the ‘startup’ tab. There will be a large list of applications which are configured to run when the computer boots up. Deselect some of the applications that you do not want to run when the computer starts. Make sure you are not disabling any of the important system programs from running. This can change your computer just to a box full of electronic circuits. So, get some help if you are not sure which one to change and which one not to touch.  

There are also utilities like disk defragmenter and disk cleanup utility which can be used to make your computer work little bit faster. Disk defragmenter arranges all the files in your Windows powered system so that every similar file is available for access from a single place. Disk cleanup utility removes all the unwanted files from your machine which are stored in places like compressed files and temporary files folders. With the help of different utilities like this, you can make your device work faster and give the performance that you expect from the machine.

The phone dialer application also comes with an upgrade from the older versions. If you are not able to attend a call when someone calls, you have the option of sending them text messages right away, either predefined ones or custom typed messages. The web browser is also significantly changed from the older versions with additional ability to save pages for offline viewing.

We cracked jokes pulled each others legs. Those were very special moments for me, it brought back childhood memories.

The ceremony was the best part of it. We started at around 7 in the evening. It was a perfect birthday party. The house was all decorated. Everyone was dressed up. I had bought a beautify dress for the birthday girl. She looked a like a fairy in it. There was an awesome and huge birthday cake. We sang the birthday song while my niece cut the cake.

Then it was the dinner time, with variety of food and drinks. After dinner we sang songs and played games till late in the night.

During the bygone days, we have heard of the human stampedes at the functions, or gatherings or rallies or at any of the sporting events, but during the present days, we can witness the human stampede at the shopping places or during any festive sales. Isn’t it irksome? The scare of getting caught or becoming a victim of such stampedes prevents us from stepping out of our home. When ever we hear of a festive sales or discount sales or any when we catch of the branded products being sold at a cool off prices, we are tempted to take privilege of it and land up there immediately only to face the stampedes there. All the people make a mad dash for the place interestingly. All of them want to have a hand at the new item, at that too if it is a limited offer. The retailer will any ways enjoy this rush as it will increase his sales margin, but for the customers it is a human stampede.
 
Even though, it may prove to be a good strategy for the company as it increases the profits, shareholders equity and they drag in lot of media PR, the customers face the tragedy. And hence a new strategy has to be implemented during this festive peak sale. It might be humorous, to hear but, actually it is a serious matter as we can’t see or witness over loved ones being killed or being a victim of these stampede. One can’t lose their life just to own a big television or just a one plus one offer. No doubt, these large traffic of customers can be problem even to the company or the show room, as they can’t keep track of one and all, and they may end up to having a fight with the customers or there are lot of scope of the products being stolen or getting damaged.
 
 Few suggestions, I place before you to over come this situation are, firstly when you prefer to make a special discount, see to it that a pooling is done at the entrance of the mall or the shopping complex itself, like making a lottery entry, or card entry or any specific conditions. This way you can have a control of the traffic.  The retailer have to advertise of the sale, and the event which has the special lottery offers, wherein only the present customers can be eligible to participate. Optionally, you can even keep a clause saying that the customers who enter into the store are eligible to draw and win, and that they will be informed later by mail or a call. This will reduce the human stampede to a larger extent, and will be beneficial to both the owner and as well the customers.
