This tip is for students who might be interested in download a free full copy of any of the following pieces of Microsoft software:

• Visual Studio 2008 Professional
• Windows Server 2003
• Expression Studio
• XNA Game Studio 2.0

Simply go to this web site for the details and to get started. Basically, the only requirement is that you have a Windows Live Account (it’s free) and then proof you are an active student.

Considering each of the above products retail for several hundred each, I would take advantage and download all of them whether you have an immediate need or not.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: APRIL 1, 2008

Apple and Microsoft have finally buried the hatchet, hung up their greedy nature for the bottom line and released a 100% free open source operating system, S.U.C.K.S. This is an abbreviation for Standard Universal Computer Kakistocracy System.

S.U.C.K.S. will employ all the best features of both the Microsoft Windows and the Apple Mac OS X operating systems into one convenient free operating system that will run on any personal computer.

Such features will include:

* Your choice of wait cursors when apps fail to work, the “beach ball of doom” or the “hourglass of agony” Continued

For the most part, all graphics you deal with are traditional 2D raster (bitmap style) graphics. While many programs such as GIMP, Photoshop, Paint.NET, etc. are able to combine layers to produce a single image, the result is always a “flat” object. If you want to deal with 3D-esque graphics and manipulation power you get from them, vector graphics is the way to go.

If you are looking to explore vector graphics, give the open source editor Inkscape a look. Inkscape is a powerful editor which gives the ability to fully exploit vector graphics in a standards friendly XML format. There is extensive documentation and tutorials as well as a lengthy FAQ available to get you started. Additionally, you can view a lots of user contributed creations which demonstrate what others are using Inkscape to produce.

Are you looking to give your web site, graphics, papers, etc. a unique flair? If so a simple and effective way do this is with a non-standard font. While you could make your own, a better option is usually to use an existing one. If you are looking for a font to use, then take a look at Search Free Fonts.

The appropriately named site, Search Free Fonts, has over 13,000 free and 31,000 commercial fonts available for you to preview. You can browse by category, alphabetically, most popular and highest rated.

Fonts can be very expensive (either time spent or money-wise) if you want to develop your own, so consider taking a look here if you are in the market.

For Windows Vista users wanting to make modifications to some of the user interface and security settings, check out WinBubble. You can think of WinBubble as a TweakUI for Vista which allows you to:

• Customize OEM information.
• Customize screensavers.
• Tweak security settings (disable task manager, control panel, etc.).
• Activate a hidden Aurora boot screen.

This program is 100% free and worth a look for Vista users.

Tired of the same ol’ games you’ve been playing for months? Can’t find anything new to play? You’re in luck–Wikipedia has two lists of free games that you can download and play.  And no, most of them don’t fall under the category of cheesy flash-based games on the web.  Many of them are similar to what you would find on shelves today, or even in the style of console game favorites:

• Freeware games
• Open Source games

The only difference between the two lists is that open source games distribute the source code and allow modifications. Otherwise, if you are simply looking for a game to play, anything on those lists is up for grabs. Have fun!
