Part 6: Windows XP vs. Vista: Date and Time
010: Date and Time
As you probably can tell the new look does have a style of fashion at a cost of using your video acceleration in 3D. Unlike Windows XP, Vista blows away utilities by software developers of time like Sync-It with Atom, or a whole suite like Time and Chaos 7 – all you need next is the installation of Microsoft Outlook and BOOM you have all the features of Time, Email, Calendar Events and more. Both operating systems have built-in synchronization with atomic time (assuming you comply with President Bush’s new Time Zone), however with Vista you have the opportunity to display more than just one clock – try up to 3 clocks with different time zones. In a corporate environment clock synchronization can be horrible since this feature spam’s NTP servers to update your computer’s time – hogging network traffic too a point (unless of course you have the bloated Windows 2003 Active Directory Services which does all this for you).
