Windows 7 Finds Home in Both Sony and Lenovo




The laptop market is getting more and more dependable on Microsoft’s new OS,Windows 7 to haul up the sales. Lenovo and Sony are among many of these companies who are ready with a veer of Windows 7 laptops. Not only that, major Netbook manufacturers are also in the line up.

Laptop manufacturers are expecting that the newest OS will supply oxygen to the besieged Laptop and Netbook market. Let’s take a pick from the list that is going to lengthen in near future.

Sony VAIO X

Sony has launched an ultra-slim laptop VAIO X. the laptop weighs nearly 655 grams and it is as slim as half an inch. It features an 11.1 inch LED Backlit display with a resolution of 1366X768 pixel.

Windows 7 Sales Rate Pretty Higher than Vista



Microsoft’s new Operating System, Windows 7 has set a new stir in the market and its selling like hotdogs. Windows 7 has been sold 234 percent more copies than Vista did in its first few days of launch. A recent survey has reflected this statistics. The market is really hungry grabbing more copies of it.

The survey was commenced between the time period of 18th October and 22nd October. Windows 7 was actually released on 22nd October but it was previously open for free and discounted pre-sale. Before that, the Beta version was offered for free to most of the consumers. Various retail stores were the customer touch points for promotions and sales. So it can be said that the effective sales strategy of MS and the inherent qualities of Windows 7 has made it a buzz around.

Previously Vista did not beget that amount of profit and positive feedback from the users. Microsoft’s expectations got down to numerous necessary changes in it and the output was the new OS. On the other hand, Vista became a matter of almost every Microsoft joke. In fact, Windows 7 is like a weapon for the software giants to reinstate their reputation.

In order to do this, they had crafted their advertising and marketing strategies very well. But it is also quite evident from the survey report that people are only buying fresh copies of Windows 7 rather than purchasing the OS paired with new PCs. They are also, as far the trend goes, not opting for the Ultimate Edition which is eventually the most expensive version. However, it is time for partying for the big boys. The revenue generated from Windows 7 sales has surpassed Vista by 84percent!

You can now do it following some simple and easy steps. All they need is a 4GB or larger USB drive. You have to keep in mind that all computers do not hold up booting from a USB device; hence your computer should be compatible with that kind of booting source. This option is found in the BIOS setting. Also check if your USB drive is bootable.

• Step 1: You will require a functioning computer which has Windows Vista/Windows 7, a Flash Drive of 4GB in size. And if you intend to use a 64-bit version, you may need an 8GB Flash Drive. If you have all these, then get down to the business. A little more to add, installing from USB drive is much quicker than that from a DVD. Just place in the USB drive into a Windows Vista or Windows 7 computer and wait for it being detected.

• Step 2: Click on the Start button to go to the Search field to type cmd. You need not to press enter now. Just scroll down the menu that appears and right click on the ‘cmd.exe’ option. Choose ‘Run as Administrator’ and continue to the next step.

• Step 3: Now in the cmd, you are likely to find some significant information about the USB drive. Carry out the sequence of commands to adapt it to a Windows Vista or Windows 7 boot drive. Type DISKPART in the cmd and this will definitely implement the Vista or Windows 7 DISKPART utility.

• Step 4: Now just type the following commands. You will be provided with a list of disks available on your PC and select the one that is much like your Flash Drive. Now just type the following in cmd
LIST DISK >SELECT DISK >CLEAN >CREATE PRIMARY PARTITION >SELECT PARTITION >ACTIVATE >FORMAT FS=NTFS

• Step 5: If all the steps are done, close the command prompt.

Nokia is going to launch its new Netbook which will be powered by Windows 7. it is the latest deal between Microsoft and Nokia. Only this Tuesday Nokia declared that the new Booklet 3G Netbook will be enabled by Microsoft Windows 7 operating system.

The consumers of the product have a wide range of option in hand. They can choose from Windows 7 Starter Edition, Home Premium or Professional System. The prices start at $810 while the options are available at the higher end of the price range. The Netbook is motorized by Intel Atom processor.

Incorporated Nokia services are Ovi Suite 2.0, Nokia Music for PC, Ovi maps and Social Hub- which cumulates feeds from social network sites like Facebook, Twitter or Orkut. The default web browser is Internet explorer.

For better connectivity, the Booklet 3G proposes in-built WLAN and WWAN assistance to connect to the internet via Wi-Fi. The system basically has 1 GB of RAM and 120 GB of storage space.

Choose your laptop wisely

The windows 7 market is likely to grow more in the coming days. May be you are a little bit bewildered to decide on the category of laptop to buy.

Buying a handy Windows 7 might be a challenge for you. You may lose in the puzzling long list of suppliers many of whom offer two dozen different models. Be very specific at the kind of laptop you need. To be very precise, there are six types of portable PC. They are netbooks, desktop replacements, ‘value’ systems, mainstream notebooks, ultraportables and gaming systems.
Most netbooks now-a-days come with Intel Atom Processors with 1GB memory, a 10inch screen and XP. Windows 7 Starter Edition (not available currently in stores) is also installed in some netbooks. If you possess one, upgrade it to 2GB as soon as possible.

  • Netbooks are not made for serious computing like sound or image processing. They are crafted mainly for web-based applications. That is the limitation of netbooks.
  • Desktop replacements have generally the same power as desktop PCs, but they are heavy and have poor battery life. The expensive models may have quad-core processors, 17 inch screens and Blueray devices.
  • ‘Value’ systems have low-end conditions and low prices. They are available in supermarkets and high street stores. The price varies between £249 and £399. They are larger and heavier than netbooks and has a built-in DVD drive.
  • Mainstream notebooks have Intel Core2Duo processor and offer more power and functionality if you spend some extra cash. Most of these cost between £499 and £999 depending on the graphic variations. If you tend to buy one for windows 7, go for the 64-bit version with 4GB of memory and preferably with DirectX 11 graphics.
  • Ultraportables are crafted with light weight and long battery life. The processor is an Intel CULV chip and it’s better if you take the duo chip. You will get 13-14 inch widescreen and prices vary from £600 and £1,200.

  • Gaming machines have fast graphics. Some of the leading brands are Alienware, Voodoo etc.

Now, it’s open for you to choose from these categories and buy the most suitable for you. Still confused? Click here

Windows 7 family pack going to hit UK

Until now, British consumers were not enjoying the FamilyPack of Windows 7. This pack allows a user to install Windows 7 on three computers in the same household. As there was a tussle going on between EU and Microsoft over the pre-installation of the internet explorer web-browser, the launch was delayed. Previously, the company was compelled to sell copies of Windows 7 without pre-installed internet explorer.

But now with all the tussle is over, Microsoft is about to launch it’s home pack in European union countries making it possible for the British customers to buy the multi-license family pack. The sale will start from October 22. The family pack will be priced at £150. If you buy separately the three all copies of Windows 7, the cost will be higher than this.

Try to be the first one to grab the pack. You may miss it as Microsoft has warned that this pack will be available in limited quantities.

Microsoft has given a hint that upgraded editions of Windows 7 may also be available in UK. Users who are already using Windows Vista on their machines can upgrade their OS to home premium which will be priced at £79.99. You can upgrade to professional version for £189.99 and ultimate version for £199.99.

On the other hand, Apple launches its new operating system, Snow Leopard, on Friday. It will just cost £25 for existing users to upgrade and the FamilyPack of snow Leopard is available at £39.

Windows 7 features

In my previous post I picked up some exciting features of windows 7. Hope you are all eager enough to know the rest of these features. So, let’s take a look at these to quench your thirst.
An improved interface.

Windows 7 has new aero elements will change your way of communication with your PC. Aero Peek will be probably the most useful tool for you. All your open windows will come at once before your eyes. How is it? You need not close one after another of these and find your desired one opened. The outline boxes of all your windows will be displayed and by the help of thumbnail previewing facility, you can do this. Forget about your habit of alt-tabbing again and again.
Aero snap helps resizing the opened windows to fit in the display place available.
Aero shake enables a user to minimize all non-active windows at once.

Perked up hardware support
Worried about the compatibility of this new OS with upcoming hardware? Not an issue. It is crafted well to cope up with the upcoming hardware. It also includes multi-touch support. The 64-bit version of the new OS is to handle bigger system memory, scaling upto192 GB of RAM. You remember your old OS with 18-GB limit? It’s far better, no?
One thing I forgot to mention that this new OS is also fit for those chic netbooks. These scrawny devices are low-powered and that is why they go well with windows 7. it lengthens the battery-life of the netbooks.

Excellent looks
Though this little matters to the professionals but the thing is that the renovated look of windows 7 is something superb. You can not just resist yourself using it.

Thinking about opting for windows 7? Move on. Check it out right now.

Windows 7

Windows 7 has not actually hit the market yet. Customers worldwide are eager enough to know the distinguished features of it, but still some are skeptical about this new OS. But to convince them, here are some valid points given. I have found these quite interesting about Windows 7. I think it will make your enormous “no” to a big “yes”.

But still, there’s a whole lot of space provided for your counter-statements. If you find these points unreal or illogical, speak on pals. Don’t close the door of arguments.

Demand of the time
The immediate previous OS could not meet many of the expectations of the users. That’s why; many customers skip it and chose their 8-year old OS as a suitable option. Vista could not surpass XP. But this came into notice of Microsoft Corporation and they released a Beta version of Windows 7 to get a proper feedback of the crowd source. And the aficionados from all over the world complained about vista and demanded a better version. The giant manufacturer decided to launch it by this October.

Your old software runs sound
The corporation has kept its steadfast customers in mind. The software you used to use on your XP system can be run without any difficulty on windows 7. If somehow any of those XP programs does not run on your new OS, it can be run on a virtual environment that is called XP mode. The more interesting fact is that you need not clasp between XP emulator and windows 7. but the XP emulator will look like another window of windows 7.

Device-drivers pre-installed
No big change, but it is significant enough. You want a video card or an outer hard drive to install on your PC? You need not to follow that older way of installing it, windows 7 is intelligent enough to detect and install it on your PC. Forget about that garbage work from now.
Keen to know more about the varied features of windows 7? Read the rest of the features in my next post
