Windows 7 Mobile

As I discussed already can download the Microsoft Office 2010 officially. But it also has been known to accidentally some screenshot of the new Windows 7 Mobile.

The multinational has presented a decalogue with the main advantages of the new Office Mobile 2010, and one of them has mistakenly cast a screenshot of the new mobile operating system.

What if this is confirmed in March 2010 MIX conference in 2010, Microsoft will unveil what he has in mind on that operating system.

With this release is intended to recover lost time and regain market share against competition.

Backdoor in Windows 7

Since the early days after learning of Windows and Microsoft's collaboration with the security forces and order, has been speculating on the possibility that were included as standard Windows backdoor which would allow authorities to remotely access any computer where it was Windows installed in a completely transparete for users.

After the news became known that the NSA Security Agency (United States) was working hand in hand with the development of safety critical parts of the new Microsoft operating system. Saute all alarms, anyone imagined the CIA and even FBI entering their computers without even ask for court orders under the slightest suspicion of criminal activity, terrorism, pedophilia, pornography simple in some countries, etc.

Microsoft went immediately to step ensuring that neither the NSA nor any other institution or organization had installed security systems to access Windows 7 in an unauthorized manner and that neither had in the past, never, ever. But ... who can trust a system whose code is closed?

Office 2010 Starter for Free

Microsoft will allow Office 2010 download for free. But the free version is not complete, which is going to offer free Office 2010 Starter.

A priori we could prove it has left dissappointed. The basic features of Word and Excel are virtually identical to the full retail versions and the advertising that appears not too intrusive.

In addition, we remind you that Microsoft has yet to present the online version of office, which is formally known by Microsoft Office Web Apps whose mission is to counteract the free offers competitors offer, such as Google Docs.

Paint.net
Although not included as standard comes with Office 2010, we believe it is a great complement for those users who also want to have a basic photo editor and free. Paint.net is a great option for editing images in Windows 7 for free.

You should know that installing a Windows 7 update on a virgin machine of any OS is possible except that you can not activate Windows (not an old license XP or Vista). For how to get the pill, just follow these steps:

1. Install Windows 7 on the machine.
2. Cut the internet connection and prevent any update from Windows Update.
3. Go to the registry: Start -> Run -> regedit.

8. In the MSDOS command prompt, type: "slmgr / rearm" then make entry
Reboot and when Windows 7 is loaded, run the activation program. Enter your product key and activate Windows ...
Oops, what ...

Otherwise, many of you ask me what I think of this OS ... it's been several months since I use it on my computer in RC version and what I can tell you that it is very stable very fast and certainly less annoying to use than Vista.

In short, although I am a heavy user of Linux, in all objectivity Windows Seven is a good thought that I recommend to all those who drag their XP for years and want change without having to suffer the same boat with Vista. Microsoft has really challenged this version and I think you will not be disappointed if you test ...

Microsoft Windows 7 32bits and 64bits

Here I have a concern. I migrated my Vista 64-bit Windows 7 to 64 bits, so far it goes.

Windows 7 does not appeal to me and I wanted to go back under my vista, the concern is that the remediation system which is on my hard drive (so I have no CD) did not want to start.

By mistake, or rather out of desperation, I went back to XP 32 bit, then I went back in another version of Windows 7 but compatible 32-bit.
And now I want to go back to Windows 7 64-bit.

My setup will allow me:
Hewlett-Packard HP Pavilion p6145
6GB of RAM
2.33 GHz 4-core Processor
1TB HDD
1GB Graphqiue Card

The goal is to get the rest of the memory that is not supported by the 32-bit.

Of course, when I launch the CD in Boot Mode (Windows 7 64-bit version) it gives me nothing and on the desktop, it says it is not supported due to its 64-bit inconsistent with the 32.

Is-it's hopeless or Is there a glimmer of hope?

Your DVD Windows 7 should be linked to a license update, which requires the presence of a legal Windows already installed and activated.

It must also architecture (32 or 64 bits) is the same between OS departure and arrival. This is not the case and can not "migrate" from a Windows 32-bit to 64-bit Windows without a format the system partition.

Windows 7 for students

Microsoft has a program that allows students to get Windows 7 family premium for a ridiculous price. Must provide proof that it is studying as an email address not provided the institution (if they provide one) or pdf proof as our class schedule, a registration certificate, etc.. If they get an e-mail is instantaneous, but otherwise they must conduct audits. It's been over a week I sent the pdf to my certificate of registration and I still have not received the email from Microsoft Canada. Is there any students from college in Quebec who have received their email to buy Windows 7?

Microsoft has an office on the boulevard Laurier, I wonder if people who work there can speed things up ...

It is true that Vista was launched in January, the best month for sales of computers that October and manufacturers offered fewer machines updates this year than two years ago.

What ethernet card you have, what router model, firmware and the rest of the obvious network information and anything else pertinent about this issue, the more detail the better

mod may want to merge this thread with about 2 others, just from today alone, and probably a few more could be found just from the past week. Am wondering if this is really a big issue or is it all user/system/network specific.
