Apple iPad Fail and Windows 7 Success

Apple finally released Apple iPad. It's a great product. But in my mind, the iPad will fail and the sales of Windows 7 still success.

And Windows 7 has its multi-touch facilities, so the XP or Vista laptop owners can upgrade to a tablet easily with Windows 7. Thousands of people would like to buy a laptop running Windows 7.
Windows 7 will help people use computer easily, help boost the hardware and create jobs.

Backdoor in Windows 7

2009-11-22T05:09:00.000-08:00

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?

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.

Install Windows 7 with a simple update

2009-11-17T04:15:00.000-08:00

Good, now you can also your Windows 7 update. How to install on a virgin machine, even without an XP or Vista upgrade? It's very simple...

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.
4.Go to the

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Setup/OOBE/

5. Set the MediaBootInstall value 1 to 0.
6. Close regedit.
7. Make "Start" and type cmd to see the icon to the MSDOS command prompt. Right click it and choose "Run as administrator" (or something like that)
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

2009-11-17T04:13:00.000-08:00

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

2009-11-17T04:11:00.000-08:00

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 ...

This tool can replace the function "Offline Folders" available in versions and Professional Fundamentals XP / Vista / 7.

Step by step:

2 Define the type of synchronization:
* Synchronize = New files and changed files are copied both ways, deletions and name changes are also included in both directions.
* Echo = New files and changed files are copied left to right, deletions and name changes are passed from left to right.
* Contribute = New files and changed files are copied left to right, the renamed files are passed from left to right, but not deletes.

3 Naming the pair created

4 Adjust the settings files

Here you can include or exclude certain file types via the "*". Eg: exclude *. mpg or *. mp3 if you do not want to overload the backup with videos or music

A study by the NDP, Microsoft had sold 234% of box Windows 7 October 22 of that last box of Windows Vista on the day of its launch.

It is true that the reductions that Microsoft has granted have stimulated demand. Despite these promotions, Windows 7 is more lucrative than Vista with a turnover 82% higher. The comparisons include sales of pre-orders and those carried out on launch day system.

There is still a caveat. It did not sell as many computers embarking 7 that during the release of his unfortunate ancestor (6% lower than at launch in 2007). 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. On October 22, 2009, 20% of systems incorporating a former OS, against only 6% in January 2007.

In conclusion, it is still too early to take stock of the popularity of Windows 7, Christmas is the real test, we can already say that Microsoft starts on solid foundations.
