Which Character In Harry Potter Is Gay ?
2007-10-20 22:33:00 Dumbledore is gay, author J.K.

She then explained that Dumbledore was smitten with rival Gellert Grindelwald, whom he defeated long ago in a battle between good and bad wizards. Rowling added that Dumbledore was horribly, terribly let down.She went on to say that she thought Dumbledore had fallen in love with Grindelwald, a Dark Wizard he defeated in battle in 1945, which possibly made it forgivable that he had not seen Grindelwald's true nature, because falling in love can blind us to an extent.Dumbledores sexuality has long been speculated on Potter fan sites and other Internet sites.

The next operating system after Vista Is ...
2007-10-16 22:06:00 Before the dust settles on Vista , Microsoft is programming up its next Operating System - Windows 7.Windows 7 was originally codenamed Blackcomb, though the company renamed it to Windows Vienna in early 2006 and to Windows Seven or Windows 7 more recently.Windows 7 is just a codename and will likely change prior to the OS official release. Microsoft currently plans to ship Windows 7 in 2010, about four years after Vista. Microsoft now says it will be the final Windows version to ship in both 32-bit and 64-bit versions.Windows 7 would have all the hardware compatibility the current versions of Windows NT have (since the kernel and base system are still compatible), so it would run on most modern machines.Another feature is a pervasive typing line that will recognize the sentence that the user is typing in.Is this the last Operating System from Microsoft ?No, they will keep developing them. However, I would not rush out and buy it like so many did with Vista. Play the "Wait & See"... More About: Stem
