According to the WMPoweruser of the 9 devices that will be announced on May 24, 2 devices will be from HTC, 2 from Acer, and one from Dell. The maximum number of devices will be from Samsung.

This announcement will be important to show the growth path that Microsoft will choose to adopt in the year that is ahead of us. Though the announcement may be made in the event in New York City, there will be no immediate release of the devices as such. Speculations suggest that the release of these phones is targeted towards the holiday season and not in the immediate future. There is also reasonable doubt to believe that Microsoft is making this announcement now because keeping new devices as a secret is becoming increasingly more difficult.

Upgrading to Windows 7

You can install Windows 7 in the system, that has Windows XP or Windows Vista already installed. Another simple method will be to purchase a PC that is already loaded with Windows 7.

Installation can be done in two different ways:

1.    Formatting and installation of this operating system will remove all the files from the system and will replace it with the fresh installation of Windows 7. Hence, you are advised to take few copies of your files and settings so that it can be stored back once Windows 7 is installed. You will also require reinstalling of all the applications.
2.    You can upgrade to Windows 7 without affecting the files, applications and settings that are already loaded in the system. But this is possible only under some criteria.

Out of the above two options, up gradation of W7 is the easiest method. This option is available only with this operating system when compared to the Windows Vista edition. Unfortunately, Windows XP requires fresh installation of Windows 7.

The following system requirements must be fulfilled before up gradation of Windows 7:
•    1GB RAM(32bit) or 2GB RAM(64bit)
•    1GHz 32bit(x86) or 64bit(x64) processor.
•    DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver (for Aero).
•    16GB available hard disk space(32bit) or 20GB(64bit).

Things to remember before performing a clean installation of Windows 7:
1.    A backup of all important files must be taken. For example, documents, photos, music files, messages and address book in email application, bookmarks/ favourites in web browser and other required files.
2.    The Windows Upgrade Advisor gives an idea if any of the hardware and software you have should work with Windows 7.
3.    Make a note of the applications that you would require after the installation is complete.
4.    You can also check with the manufacturers of the software and hardware to know if it is compatible with Windows 7. You can check with the model in the case of hardware and for the version in the case of software.
5.    Application settings that were done earlier will have to be redone after a new installation is done.
6.    Access technology must be checked for compatibility.
7.    You can also take a backup of the settings and files manually with the Windows Explorer or by using the backup option from Start/ Programs/ Accessories/ System Tools.

The above points would be very helpful for those computer users who would plan to install Windows 7 in their system. Taking a backup of the important files must be the basic idea before up gradation or installation of any operating system in the computer system.

Dan MacFetridge from Microsoft’s Shape the Future program said

Education is always a government priority, but changing the conversation from ‘prove that a PC makes for better grades’ to one where you can demonstrate the political and economic value makes these initiatives rise to the top of a government’s priority list.

The Shape the Future program has already been launched in several countries, including the Philippines, Georgia, Brazil, Kuwait, the UK and Portugal, and so far it is a win-win-win situation for all parties, MacFetridge adds.

The governments are working on improving social and economic development along with the country’s competitiveness, by slackening digital teaching and learning skills for teachers and students, and simultaneously, students and their families have access to information anytime and anywhere that makes studying and a career more successful.

He further adds

whether in the suburbs of London or a remote hillside in Mongolia, equal access to quality education is a critical determinant of success and integration to society,” and this program helps people that otherwise would not have had the opportunity of having their own computer.

reaching the next billion users will come as a result of creating these inclusive and sustainable initiatives. It is not about donating software; it is about investing in the future of the next generation of business leaders, consumers and educators.

Shape the Future program will not stop until its mission is complete, because as MacFetridge says “access to the Internet and technology should be a right, not a privilege.”

Shashi Seth, Senior Vice President of Yahoo Search Products said

First let me say, wow, what a week! As I hope everyone saw our post from last week, Yahoo! began transitioning certain back-end functions for Yahoo! Search over to Microsoft’s search platform,”

Well, I am proud to announce that the transition of organic search between Yahoo! and Microsoft is complete,” he wrote.

Yahoo! Web, Image, and Video search experiences on both desktop and mobile devices are now powered by the Microsoft platform in the US and Canada (English), with more markets to come,” he added.

The notable change will be the search result, as Bing rankings highly differ from Yahoo’s, but again not many could spot this out. On the other hand, while organic search might have been the largest step, the ‘fusion’ between the two products is not yet completed. The next step would be to merge the paid search platforms, as Yahoo is interested using Microsoft’s ad network for search ads from now on.
