Windows 7 - Simplifying your PC!
Windows 7, which launches on October 22,
2009, is the easiest, fastest, and most
engaging version of Windows yet. The new
user experience is really something to get
excited about; thanks to elements like peek
through, a whole new taskbar and some common
sense simplifications, Windows 7 has a more
usable UI and will run even faster than the
previous release of Windows, a first for
Microsoft. Developed based on feedback from
actual customers Windows 7 offers faster and
more reliable performance, and great features
like Home Group and Windows
Touch to make
new things possible.
Windows 7 is much smarter than its
predecessor, Windows Vista. While Vista's
memory manager devoted the same amount of RAM
to each open window, performing as if each
open window was visible and full screen sized
even if they were minimized or in the
background, Window 7's memory manager doesn't
operate that way. Therefore, users can run
Windows 7 with 1GB of RAM, unlike Vista which
requires at least 2GB. With application
crash resiliency, Windows 7 is also smarter
when it comes to unstable apps and errors .
If an application crashes multiple times,
Windows 7 learns how it should run to avoid
crashing. Further, the new Problem Steps
Recorder makes error reports useful by
generating a detailed error report in plain
English. Read
the article and feature listing.

Windows Server 2008 R2 Hyper-V
One of the most highly anticipated new
features in Windows Server® 2008 R2 Hyper-V
is live migration. With Hyper-V live
migration, you can move running VMs from one
Hyper-V physical host to another without any
disruption of service or perceived downtime.
Live migration is integrated with Windows
Server 2008® R2 Hyper-V and Microsoft®
Hyper-V Server 2008 R2. As Hyper-V live
migration moves running virtual machines
without downtime, it facilitates greater
flexibility and value by:
· Providing better agility:
Datacenters with
multiple Hyper-V physical hosts will be able
to move running VMs to the best physical
computer for performance, scaling, or optimal
consolidation without impacting users.
· Reducing costs and increasing
productivity:
Datacenters with multiple Hyper-V physical
hosts will be able to service those systems
in a more controlled fashion, scheduling
maintenance during regular business hours.
Live migration makes it possible to keep VMs
online, even during maintenance, increasing
productivity for both users and server
administrators. Datacenters will be also able
to reduce power consumption by dynamically
increasing consolidation ratios and powering
off un-used physical hosts during times of
lower demand.
