So the prior validation program that is Office Genuine Advantage finally got removed after 4 years. I guess Microsoft could no longer bother with fixing the ongoing bugs anymore (though I never get the idea of validation of genuineness before downloading anyway). Well, Active Office is still in place, but at least those support software can can now be direct downloaded. Though I wonder if WGA will soon follow OGA.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reachingcorner.blogspot.com/feeds/3044650319515290187/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://reachingcorner.blogspot.com/2010/12/so-prior-validation-program-that-is.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2390721745359689240/posts/default/3044650319515290187'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2390721745359689240/posts/default/3044650319515290187'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reachingcorner.blogspot.com/2010/12/so-prior-validation-program-that-is.html' title='OGA went &#39;poof&#39;'/><author><name>Lat</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17292695544638338496</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://i55.tinypic.com/34dh9tv_th.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2390721745359689240.post-1666920854915684142</id><published>2010-12-16T20:58:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-20T19:21:32.132-08:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="software"/><title type='text'>The art of speeding up your computer, leave it to good programs</title><content type='html'>As a tool to answer users&#39; demands, from work to entertainment, a  computer&#39;s processing speed is vital. To maintain good processing speed,  there are many programs out there that can do the job. I tested a lot  of those, and these are the ones that really work for me:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://i52.tinypic.com/103ybuu.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;252&quot; src=&quot;http://i52.tinypic.com/103ybuu.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;CCleaner is a freeware from Piriform. It has a  simple user interface and very effective in cleaning out the hidden  trash files. It can also fix Registry, but as always, backup before  doing that. In general, just run CCleaner once a week and your PC will  continue to run smoothly.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://i55.tinypic.com/14y20zs.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;229&quot; src=&quot;http://i55.tinypic.com/14y20zs.jpg&quot; width=&quot;320&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Glary Utilities is a freeware that can clean and maximize system processing. Even if you are unfamiliar with all the technical aspects, this program&#39;s &#39;1-Click Maintenance&#39; can get your PC run like new with a click of the mouse. It can be upgraded to PRO edition for more technical capacities.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://i53.tinypic.com/qy93b8.jpg&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;320&quot; src=&quot;http://i53.tinypic.com/qy93b8.jpg&quot; width=&quot;314&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Game Booster is of course, best for gamers. In general, it temporarily turns off unused background processes, free more RAM and help smoother game-plays.&amp;nbsp; It is very safe and will not affect your hardware. Of course, the process can always be reversed with a click of the mouse.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Hope these can help you as much as they helped me.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://reachingcorner.blogspot.com/feeds/1666920854915684142/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://reachingcorner.blogspot.com/2010/12/art-of-speeding-up-your-computer-leave.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2390721745359689240/posts/default/1666920854915684142'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/2390721745359689240/posts/default/1666920854915684142'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://reachingcorner.blogspot.com/2010/12/art-of-speeding-up-your-computer-leave.html' title='The art of speeding up your computer, leave it to good programs'/><author><name>Lat</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17292695544638338496</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='https://img1.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://i52.tinypic.com/103ybuu_th.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
