Microsoft developing next generation of Windows Operating System, “Vienna”. But Microsoft changed the name to Windows 7 now, meant 7th generation of Windows Product.
Windows Vista only released 2 years and many users still using the Windows XP now day. Microsoft already developing next generation of Windows. Why so rush?
I got a video from Internet shown that some of the new features of Windows 7. The interface still look very close to Vista. But we saw some new features, like FTP Location, Key Broad Short Cuts, Screen and Animation Capture, Disk Usage Analyzer, Task Manager, Virtual Drive and Web Site Designer.
I just shift from Window platform to MAC platform after 10 years using Window OS. I already experienced Windows OS from Window 3.11 until Vista.
Today I want to share something about the OS heart, Control Panel or we called it System Preferences in MAC.
Both control panel almost same from feature wide.
MAC emphasize in User Friendly, it come with Dock, Expose & Spaces and Spotlight. All above allow user to control the MAC more effectively.
Window control panel more in setting, especially setup the Firewall and Security Center. It also come with Administrator which we can setup IIS, Services and Data Source.
I found that the Network Setting in MAC are quick easy. It even can detect the network setting automatically.
MAC have the strength in end user experience and Window have the strength in Corporate Workspace.
In MAC, I still not sure how to control the Start Up Items, I try to figure out the way to add and remove Start Up Item but failed. According the Internet resources, We need to go to Library - StartUpItem Folder to delete the file, BUT, i found nothing inside the folder.
According news from Internet, Microsoft will release IE 8 Beta version First Half of 2008. IE 8 development period are very short, I hope that is not a minor change version. Recently, there are some link from Internet available to download IE 8 Beta 1. You can download and try at your own risk.
This link is open to all, but Microsoft recommend web developer to test it. It plan to release Beta 2 at this summer.
Some of the new features in IE 8 :
