Windows 7 Mobile

MS  has just announced it's Latest Windows 7 Mobile OS and is dictating its terms for its new Windows 7 Mobile OS .
MS seems to be taking a  vertical approach with hardware and user experience, It has fixed for 7 Series devices like a specific CPU ,speed, screen aspect ratio , resolution, memory, and  button configurations
Its is also doing away with carrier or partner UI customizations such as Sense or TouchWiz.

MS here seems to doing a Apple again .
The Challenge here for MS would be that every Hardware Provider would like to have it's different Specs for differentiating it's product in the market . Apple Makes it's own hardware so it's different for them . A GIANT like MS seems to be out of it's own strategies and seems to be following Apple.
It's also be very interesting to see how MS goes about developing APPS for its devices. Will it accept open source developers of and Third party Apps or will it be rigid with developing Apps on it's own .

In the Mean time Samsung  has coming up with it's own Software for Mobile . The New Samsung Wave looks neat and it's hardware is said to have a 512 MB RAM. About 2 years back i had PC which had 512 MB  of RAM. So this new phone also opens whole new world of possibilities .

Also in a recent development Nokia has acquired Symbian and declared that it's going Open Source. Wow ....

Mobile Operating System Space has never been this interesting before. Looking ahead to a great 2010 in Mobile OS Space.

WIN 7 ... First Look

Windows 7 is a marked improvement over Vista all around, and its new features and improvemnts make it a strong competitor for Windows XP as well. I think this will help Microsoft for people using XP a reason to Upgrade.

In my opnion, Windows Vista was a significant Windows release,despite the criticism

More so it was a step forward in the evolution of the Operating System

I would not talk here about the New Windows taskbar interface, the new window management features etc . Yes they are having a slight improvement over it's predecessor which is expected. The thing that has impressed me about WIN 7 here is the

1. Quick Installation : I think this is the quickest i have seen in Windows. I opted for a Clean Install.

The Video Drives, LAN & Wireless Drives were automatically installed so it made sure i can connect to the network as soon as installed the OS. Also during the first Windows Upgrade it downloaded drivers for Sound Card & Touchpad were installed . So quiet a Pleasure there.

2. Faster : WIN 7 seemed to be best of both the worlds- Speed & GUI . Seems i using a XP onVista Interface. It just feels more natural than Vista or XP to me. It's hard to describe exactly it feels quite  smooth and  intuitive. The the Bootup; Shutdown lead times are shorter.

3. Battery  :Surprisingly it has also added a solid 20-30min to the battery life of my laptop compared to Vista.    

 .

That's For Now . I'll add more to this once i have used this more.

On Windows 7

I have been Running on  for about an year now . I was forced to use Vista, as my new Laptop Manufacturer didn't release drivers for XP( Courtesy Microsoft ) .
Now a year later MS says they are out with a New & Better OS and is asking users to Upgrade ( Pay More Money ) .
But Hey Balmer. I want a refund for that POS Vista I have been forced to purchase with my laptop. I don't intend give you one more damn dime for your operating systems.

I’ll probably shift on to Linux ( Ubuntu ) now, but I figure you owe me a copy of Windows 7. Oh yeah, and shame on you HP for putting the crap on your computers cause half of you "Released" drivers don't even work on Vista.

PDF Suite

I was trying to find a Substitute for Adobe Acrobat so that my PDF can be viewed , edited and conversion from anyother doc to PDF can take place.
Came across a nice application called PDF Suite .
Nice application. This has met most of the expectation especially in the area of converting to PDF. Has been working fine for viewing and editing as well, but recently I have started facing problem for viewing secured documents and newly created documents especially the ones I receive in E-Mail from Vodafone Etc. The Application exits saying the document is not compatible . i have been checking for updates in the application but none are available .
If someone comes across any software having the similar capabilities do let me know.
