This has really dragged my interest!!! - Interoperability India

When I was seriously surfing the web to find out, what's new; I found "AREA 91" an Open Source Community hosted by Microsoft’s Developer and Platform Evangelism team and Interoperability in India. I have always wondered on how developers can integrate two different platforms irrespective of its architecture or technology. I don't mean (OS), but the application development framework. This is more vital. As a developer, I suggest all my blog readers to check out "AREA 91" to learn on how to use PHP in windows, start building Silverlight Apps using Eclipse and to configure free database engine with reporting services.

We have excellent tutorials in this portal. Kindly use the link here and learn these Interoperability How-to's. 

Into the Future: The PC Revolution has is Begun!

I know its too early to blog on Win8, but I am more interested in compiling the rumors and wish-list of Windows 8. I Binged and found many interesting blogs writing on Win8. Interestingly, I found Robert Morgan, Senior Research and Development Employee, Microsoft, posting updates on LinkedIn, exposing some Company secrets!

“Robert Morgan is working to get IA-128 working backwards with full binary compatibility on the existing IA-64 instructions in the hardware simulation to work for Windows 8 and definitely Windows 9.”

“Robert Morgan is using Hestia (custom software package) for experimenting with the processor for scientific analysis and 3D graphics. Error: Memory Latency? Always gotta be a challenge barrier, it’s gotta be a bug in Hestia. right?!”

“Robert Morgan is frustrated with process standards and regulations! Delays Delays!”

Windows 8 is expected to come only in 64bit and interestingly in 128bit. This is because Windows Server 2008 RC is only released in 64bit and surely next Windows OS is expected in 128 bit version.64bit adoption is low and Windows 8 in 128bit will be surely be like the Windows Vista, in performance. Hardware transition is really slow and Windows 8 if adopted through 128bit, then customer experience might be poor as driver availability might be scarce.

For More Future: Enjoy the Concept Screen-shots of Windows 8!!!

Hope this post helped you to look into the future!!!! 

Windows 7 Launch - Most Awaited Oct 22nd - Highlights

The Most awaited Win7 Launch has now become the highlights throughout the web and other media. I logged-in my Pentium 4 PC (with 1GB RAM) which was running XP, to watch the Live Win7 Launch @ Wembley. I was filled with lots of excitement and big ! if the new OS will work faster even on my P4.

The Launch Eve started with Tami Reller, Corporate VP and CFO of Windows and Windows Live, Microsoft; who then invited Kylie, a five year old chweet charming girl. Kylie is a PC expert, and has even made screencast for some latest MS Tech. She was given the biggest job of the day, to invite Steve Ballmer, CEO, Microsoft.

Then Came Steve with his keynote for the Launch of Windows 7. He showcased the Makings of Win7 as ,
3000 Microsoft Engineers were on-board,
50,000 Partners,
8 Million Customers from 200 countries for RC and Beta Testing.

" Simpler, Faster, More Responsive." makes Win 7 the most successful OS for now. About 300 Million customers are estimated to buy Win7 in the next 12 months. Brad Brooks, Corporate Vice President, Windows Consumer Marketing took off, where he gave a talk on 7 Wonders of Windows 7; on which i'll write a separate blog-post.

Mike Angiulo, GM, Product Planning and PC Ecosystems, Microsoft took us "Behind the Screen" where he showcased upcoming and latest PC configuration and state-of-the art futuristic home powered with Win7, from Kitchen to Gaming. Dell Adamo, Acer Aspire Revo, Toshiba Touch Laptop were my most loved demos. On all those models ranging from Netbooks to Laptops, Win7 worked perfectly well.

My another favorite section of the day was when Steve demoed "Play To" feature of Win , where he played more than 15 different media connected to Win7 through Bluetooth and Home Network....and still the Laptop running Win7 used only 54% of the resources and has excellent response time----That's really amazing part of the Launch which showcased the power of Win7!!!!!

The time was roughly mid-night, when I finished watching the Launch of Win7....It was worth spending for such a good engineering from MS.

Microsoft to release Free Anti-Virus software - MORRO

Microsoft is about to release a first public beta version of their new free anti-virus software program Morro which is supposed to fill the gap left by the Microsoft One Care demise. Morro seems to be concentrating on being an anti-virus software program without additional modules that allow a user to create backups or use a firewall for extra protection. Those extra modules are on the other hand already available in the Windows 7 operating system which makes Morro the ideal candidate to fill the one layer of protection that is not already shipping with Windows 7: Anti-virus protection. 

Microsoft has said it will provide protection from several types of malicious software including viruses, spyware, rootkits and trojans.

It is not yet clear how Morro will run along with Windows Defender. It basically seems that Morro will be Windows Defender with added capabilities to detect and remove viruses, rootkits and trojans as well as spyware. The anti-virus software is expected to enter public beta stage in the coming months with no exact date given yet.

Which leads to the closing question: Which (if any) anti-virus software programs are you using on Windows 7?
