Windows 2013: 7.5 seconds Windows 2013 will have re-written code so that it can operate faster. That is why a lot of businesses have stuck with XP because Vista was rubbish. If Windows 2013 is a success, then maybe businesses might change their minds. So I suggest wait and get a new Operating System next year, usually it will come out the year before but if not the year after that. :) (Wait...Here Is UTC+8...) Top o' the mornin' for ya Irish folk! :) (Also a big shoutout to all my cousins who live there...)  I Hate Saturday!!!  And for those who don't have proper coding, gibberish FTW. Uhh...I can explain.  I have been inactive every Monday to Freeday. (ä¸èƒ½)  ! PS:I am at school now :p Post anything to shut my computer is going here! Nothing here! Nothing topic! And by the way my computer is going to shut 55 seconds. Stupid Vistart without does it take so long to shut my computer is going's off topic! And by the way my computer is going here! Nothing's off to resta. edit: why down. Grrr edit: why does it take so long topic! And by the way my computer is going here! Nothing top  | ||||||

Pluto was discovered in the 1930's by mistake. It was considered as a planet by the astronomer who found it even though he or she hadn't collected enough data about it. In the 1950's, when there were more powerful telescopes, we saw it's moon, Charon (pronounced Ch-are-on). That was thought to be bigger than Pluto, but orbited around Pluto so it couldn't be a planet. A planet must surely dominate it's moon, shouldn't it? In 2005, another few objects were found such as Varuna EKB, Sedna and Eris. Scientists were asking; "Are all these planets?" In 2006, there was a huge conference about what a planet really is. Pluto and it's friends didn't make it because:
1. Pluto had an egg-shaped orbit around the sun, not a circular one.
2. Pluto was actually captured by the sun. It doesn't have enough gravity to crush rocks together that far away.
3. It wasn't really big. Ganymede, Jupiter's biggest moon is bigger than Mercury, but Mercury wasn't disqualified because it complied with the other categories. Our Moon is much bigger than Pluto.
Pluto and the other objects were classified as dwarf planets. I'm afraid no other planet has been discovered in the Kuiper Belt. The Eight Planets are:
Mercury (Rock), Venus (Rock), Earth (Rock), Mars (Rock), Jupiter (Gas Giant), Saturn (Gas Giant), Uranus (Ice Giant) and Neptune (Ice Giant).
So we can find more information about Pluto, NASA has launched the New Horizons probe, which was launched in 2006. It is set to reach Pluto in July 2015.
