While coding this morning I decided to snap a shot for the Workstation thread. This is my home setup and I'm a Windows Phone developer, as you can see.

The phone on the stand is my developer handset, Dell Venue Pro. The phone on the desk is my personal phone, also a Dell Venue Pro.

Sorry for the grainy shots. I couldn't locate the battery for my wife's DSLR so I had to settle for the Point & Shoot.

upgrade your CPU/GPU/RAM then, works smooth as you like on my desktop, lags like hell on my netbook.

Same her, runs just fine on my computer. That said it also runs fine on my iPad so as far as I'm concerned Chrome should not be lagging on any computer capable to run Windows 7 (so not any any netbooks).

Just out of curiosity how do IE and Firefox perform?

IE9 works great, firefox works the best!

I got sleeves for my HDD cables.... put em all in the one sleeve and clamped it down. I leave a couple spare cables in there for upgrades as well.

Long time no post, I've been living on my own the past 12months. It's been tough but looking for a bigger place in 2012..Note I cycle to work everyday a lot of people say it's odd having a bike next to your pc but I've warmed to it over time. I wish I could show my workstation at work but due to NDA I'm unable to take photos.

    • Google are hyprocrites for signing this. They have been pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft, only they do it on Android and ChromeOS.
    • In some countries the law has forced Microsoft to display a menu on a fresh install of Windows which asks which web browser you want and it will install that browser. This doesn't add any bloat to Windows. It simply an additional step when setting up a new PC.
    • Chrome is also a first party browser on Android and ChromeOS. And on those systems, Google is pulling the same dirty tactics as Microsoft does on Windows.
    • Unofficial script lets you install unreleased Windows 11 features without Microsoft Account by Sayan Sen Microsoft has been steadily evolving the Windows Insider Program over the years, introducing new channels and testing paths that allow enthusiasts to experience upcoming and yet-to-be-released Windows features (some interesting hidden ones too) before they reach the public. However, one long-standing requirement has remained largely unchanged as users are generally expected to enroll in the Program and with a Microsoft account. That's where a third-party tool called "OfflineInsiderEnroll" can help. OfflineInsiderEnroll is said to be a lightweight script that enables access to Windows Insider Program builds on systems that are not signed in with a Microsoft account. Essentially the tool configures the necessary Insider settings locally and hence allows users to select and switch between available preview channels while continuing to receive builds through the normal Windows Update channel. If you are wondering how it manages to do so, it is made possible by a Registry value known as TestFlags. When configured to"0x20", Windows stops communicating with Microsoft's online Insider enrollment services thus preventing locally configured Insider settings from being overwritten. This allows the script to apply its own channel configuration directly through the Registry as Windows Update does not verify whether a device has been officially enrolled in the Insider Program or not. Previously the utility has had already supported the traditional Insider branches including Dev, Beta, and Release Preview. However following Microsoft’s recent restructuring of its preview channels, the script has now been updated. The latest OfflineInsiderEnroll version, 2.6.6, adds support for the newly introduced Insider channel lineup. As such, users can now choose from several Experimental channels in addition to Beta and Release Preview options. The update also retains tools for refreshing the Insider cache, resetting Insider settings, and completely stopping Insider enrollment when needed. Keep in mind though that will need elevated privileges when running the script (run as Admin). You can get the latest version of OfflineInsiderEnroll from this page on its official GitHub repo.
