Windows Embedded Compact 7 In Tests

admin — Sat, 09 Apr 2011 07:38:21 +0000

Windows Embedded Compact 7, the operating system for tablets from Microsoft, will be presented first to the Microsoft partners and developers in July, according to unconfirmed rumors. The first source cited by Business Insider said that the tablet interface will be inspired by the design of Windows Phone 7.

A Windows platform for tablets would be a logical move after Google released Android 3.0 for tablets, a different software platform from the one used for smartphones. However, this is unlikely to be ready until June, as Microsoft is working in cycles of about three years to achieve a new operating system. It is possible however, that Windows 7 Phone will be ready sooner.

If you took the chance offered by Microsoft, and youâ€™re using Windows 7 beta as your main operating system, you probably noticed that you canâ€™t mount ISO files using Daemon Tools for now. I Heart PC has an article about how to mount an ISO in Windows 7.

Trying Windows 7 beta right now and I like it so far.

If you miss Opera’s possibility to keep the open tabs in a vertical bar, there is a Firefox addon that can take care of that now. It’s called Vertigo and gives you the possibility to keep your tabs on the left instead of the top.

You can see it in action the pic above, on the left side of the browser.

Windows Vista Service Pack 1 RC Launched

admin — Wed, 12 Dec 2007 23:08:11 +0000

Microsoft released the first service pack for Windows Vista, as a Release Candidate. This means it’s not ready yet for an official launch, but more as one of the final test versions, with most of the bugs fixed.

Further more, this Release Candidate will cease to function on June 30th, 2008, so you should uninstall it before that day.

Most of the new things brought by this service pack are fixes in performance, new drivers and extra support for emerging standards.

BlackBerry Phones Syncs With Google Calendar

One of the most requested features for Google Calendar, synchronization, is available as of today for BlackBerry owners. It works by synchronizing the native calendar that comes with the BlackBerry with Google Calendar. A nice feature is that it stays in sync while you don’t have network coverage, as long as you do it before you get out of the network area.

There are two ways of editing the calendar alerts, either through the BlackBerry, or on the web. A nice feature, and I suspect that more and more people will get their secretaries to update their calendar on the web, and they’ll receive the updated schedule on the phone.
