Windows 7 Preview
Windows 7 (formerly codenamed Blackcomb and Vienna) is an upcoming version of Microsoft Windows, a series of operating systems produced by Microsoft for use on personal computers, including home and business desktops, laptops, tablet PCs, netbooks and media center PCs. Microsoft has stated that it plans to release Windows 7 to manufacturing in July 2009, with general retail availability set for October 22, 2009, less than three years after the release of its predecessor, Windows Vista. Windows 7's server counterpart, Windows Server 2008 R2, is slated for release at the same time.
Unlike its predecessor, which introduced a large number of new features, Windows 7 is intended to be a more focused, incremental upgrade to the Windows line, with the goal of being fully compatible with applications and hardware with which Windows Vista is already compatible. Presentations given by the company in 2008 have focused on multi-touch support, a redesigned Windows Shell with a new taskbar, a home networking system called HomeGroup, and performance improvements. Some applications that have been included with prior releases of Microsoft Windows, including Windows Calendar, Windows Mail, Windows Movie Maker, Windows Photo Gallery, will not be included in Windows 7; some will instead be offered separately as part of the freeware Windows Live Essentials suite.

Hi,
ReplyDeleteFirstly I would say I did not find a mail id so commenting. I must say your blog is a nice resource for people interested to gain more more knowledge on Windows products.
I am writing to ask you to review our product oomfo at your article section. It is an add-in that allows you to add great-looking animated & interactive charts to your Powerpoint presentations. Add awesome to your presentation is what we say. Here's the link to it: http://oomfo.com
While my main motive is to get our product out to more people, the add-in by itself is something people have not seen before. PowerPoint offers boring images for charts -- so if you introduce them to oomfo, I am sure they will love your post :)
Thanks
