Recently, I received Free Trial version DVD set from Microsoft. Microsoft launched a Server edition operating system for home use, Yes, a server operating system for Home. Seems different , but as always Microsoft works towards something different. Its Microsoft Windows Home server.
Actually this operating system is developed to share resources and connect the home PCs with each other. One server is created with huge resources like mega HDD, printer, etc. and the client connected to that server can access those resources easily.
Few facilities like easy backup, remote connections are very help full from this operating system. The backup facility helps us to take backup of all our home PC HDD content so that even if some problem occurs in one system, our data is protected. Similarly, using remote access facility you can access your files from home, office, and even from road side (of course Internet connection is needed for this).
If you want to try this operating system, your can order free DVD+CD evaluation set directly from Microsoft free of cost. I ordered this set on 29th july 08 and got them at 4th Aug 08 via
FedEx Express

"Microsoft, makers of most of the computer software in the world, tried to kill it with words, and Intel, maker of most computer chips, tried to kill it with dirty tricks. Of course, they don't admit to being attempted murderers. And when I introduce you to Intel's lovely spokesperson, Agnes Kwan, you'll realise how far their denials go. But the truth is the two mightiest high-tech companies in the world looked on Negroponte's philanthropic scheme and decided it had to die."

An interesting article has been making its way around the internet the past few days, titled "Top 10 Usability Highs Of Mac OS". Mac OS X indeed does some things very, very right, just like many other operating systems and graphical environments do some things very, very right. The issue with the list of the article in question is that many of the items on the list are not exactly examples of "Usability Highs" at all.

Windows 7 has been making waves around the net for a while now, and we already know some of the more encompassing goals of Microsoft's next operating system release. It's going to be built on top of the foundations laid out by Vista and Server 2008, but it will not increase hardware requirements. There's going to be a multitouch framework, and a new mystery taskbar. That's more or less all we know. Microsoft also said they were going to be more tight-lipped during the development process, something they will continue to do, but they did open a blog today: Engineering Windows 7. The E7 blog is written by Jon DeVaan and Steven Sinofsky, two senior engineering managers for the Windows 7 product.
