Windows 7 is all about simplicity and that’s why Windows 7 will simply be called Windows, Microsoft announced today.
Mike Nash, corporate vice president for Windows product management at Microsoft, had the honor of announcing the official name. Nash noted that he is “very excited about the opportunity to tell [people] more about Windows 7 in the coming weeks.”
According to Nash, the name “Windows 7” is simple: The company decided against a date in the name (such as “Windows 2008”) since the company does not ship a new Windows every year and it decided against an “aspirational” name (such as “XP” or “Vista”) since it is not really an entirely new release, but just an enhancement over Vista. “Simply put, this is the seventh release of Windows, so therefore “Windows 7″ just makes sense,” Nash said.
What’s New?
Here are some of the new features that you will find with Windows 7:
1. Faster and easier. Windows 7 was built around your feedback, so you’ll see a lot of things you’ve asked for. You asked us to make everyday tasks faster and easier, make your PC work the way you want it to, and make new things possible.
2. Improved taskbar and full screen previews. The taskbar at the bottom of your screen is what you use to switch between the applications you’ve got open. In Windows 7 you can set the order in which the icons appear and they’ll stay put.
3. Jumplists. With Windows 7, It’s a handy way to quickly reach the files you’ve been working with. To see the files you’ve used recently, just right click on the icon on your taskbar. So right-clicking on the Word icon will show your most recent Word documents. Plus, if there are other files you want to keep handy, you can just pin them to the Jump List.
4. Windows Live. With Windows 7, some features previously included in the operating system are now available for download through Windows Live Essentials, a set of free applications available for your PC and supported by Windows 7. You can download Windows Live Messenger, Photo Gallery, Mail, Writer, Movie Maker, and more. With these great applications, you can improve your Windows experience, and benefit from faster delivery of these features and services.
I think there’s a lot more of features that the Windows 7 will offer.

Cisco technology has featured in a number of TV shows and movies, and if you’re a fan of the blockbuster series 24 as I do, you will be well aware of how Cisco technology has helped Jack Bauer save the world!
When you see Cisco solutions in action on TV or in the movies you can better understand how our network technology is transforming the way we communicate and collaborate.
In Season 6 Cisco TelePresence makes its 24 debut, as two heads of state hold a virtual meeting that may - or may not - herald the beginning of World War III. Cisco TelePresence creates life-like, in-person experiences between individuals, businesses and events. Now people everywhere can work, live, play and learn together, in person - over the network.

One of the most significant developments that happened in the techworld for 2008 was the rise of the netbook, or the subnotebook.
It was such a hit that almost all PC manufacturers from HP to Dell to Lenovo to Acer all followed suit.
The group came up with the OLPC, and on its first year also scored success by being able to donate over 500,000 of these units to the developing countries. What they did was to use the G1G1 promo - Get One Give One. So somebody interested in the notebook would buy one for $400, and for that amount, he gets an OLPC, and another one unit would be donated out. I think that effort deserves great commendation not only in helping bridge the digital divide, but in opening a new segment for a whole new affordable notebook line.
It has become such an authority that it is now the world’s fourth most visited website, and thousands of articles are accessed and changed almost every hour. In fact, it is also so authoritative that when you do a search, the articles in Wikipedia normally also come out on top - meaning it is judged universally to be credible, and almost accurate.
However, no one has seen anything close to an Office 14 public beta yet, and Microsoft won’t publicly comment on the software or its release date. However, because of perceived issues with Microsoft vista, everybody believesthat Microsoft will find it to their interest to release the new Windows 7 as soon as possible rather than later.

Intel Corp rolled out on Friday the next generation of its netbook computers aimed at the education sector and emerging markets, touting the variety of ways technology is helping the world’s poor.
Intel, the world’s biggest chipmaker, unveiled the third generation of its Classmate PC netbook, which is made by local computer makers in a number of countries and runs on Intel’s low-power Atom chip. The newest model features a touch screen and convertible tablet form.
Reviews
The convertible Classmate feels kid-friendly and tough, with a flexible rubber handle for toting it from place to place and a water-resistant keyboard. As netbook fans, Geoff and I approve of the design—and might be a little bit jealous. Hit the image gallery below for images of the new Classmate.
A number of companies have partnered with Intel to produce customized versions of the convertible Classmate for local regions, including M&A Technology, CTL, and Equus. We don’t have word yet on whether they’ll be selling to consumers in North America, although Intel and partners seem to be decidedly more open to selling their systems than the OLPC folks have been

Hewlett-Packard unveiled its Mini 2140 netbook at the International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas earlier this week, and it’s cool.
Sleek in casing design which is similar to the older HP Mininote 2133.
HP has also made a lot of other improvements on this netbook over its 2133 and Mini 1000, all of which it hopes business professionals will find enticing. The Mini 2140 will launch later this month. PC WORLD

Introducing the Asus Eee Keyboard that acts as a stand-along home media center. Featuring wireless HDMI, it’s a "fully functional PC" with full QWERTY and a mini secondary touchscreen. Asus was vague as to if/when we’ll actually see the Eee Keyboard come to market (though we’re pretty sure it’s a semi-real product), but it’s a fantastic concept for a home theater PC if we’ve ever seen one. Through wireless HDMI you could potentially make any television into your monitor (complete with audio playback) without having some huge PC taking up space. Gizmodo
