Windows Virtual PC 2007 (Windows XP Mode) and MED-V -> A quick over view

Windows 7

Microsoft is aiming to bring virtualization under mainstream computing via couple of its up coming products.

Windows Virtual PC along with Windows XP mode and MED-V (Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization) are among those products by which Microsoft is aiming to provide both home and business users the ability to utilize the power of virtualization.

The main force behind this move is a basic question which comes up every time when we get a new operating system. That is, application compatibility. Users find it difficult to afford the cost to upgrade / update their  existing applications to make them compatible with the new OS hence adoption of a new OS becomes problematic.

Previously, we have seen that since Windows 2000, Microsoft is running their Windows Downgrade Rights programs to allow users to obtain and downgrade to a previous version of OS. However, with up-coming Windows 7 we can all rest assure about the application compatibility issue.

Here is a little screenshot which I would like to share.

Recently I obtained a trail DVD of Adobe CS4 Master collection. For faster installation and other testing purpose, I copied all the data in to my hard drive. When I tried to delete the files, I found that because there are so many files, Windows is calculeting and displaying the deleting speed in Files per second rather than usual bytes (MB or KB) per second.

Along with Windows 7 public RC, Microsoft has also released the Windows 7 upgrade advisor.

What is Upgrade advisor ?

It is a tool / program which helps you to determine whether all hardware and software present in your PC / notebook is compatible with the new OS, in which you plan to upgrade !!!

In this case Windows 7 upgrade advisor can be installed on Windows XP / Windows Vista to find out all software and attached hardware are fully compatible with Windows 7 or not.. Basically it lets you know that whether your PC can run Win7 without any issue or not !!

Where to get Windows 7 upgrade advisor ?

Can you run Win7 ??

The beta version of this software is available free for download -> http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/upgrade-advisor.aspx

Not sure of any global effect, but after talking to some of the known adsense users in India, it seems Google is delaying the payout (cheque) for at-least 2 weeks !!

Google Adsense team is informing all the effected users via email about this issue. This is what I have received from Adsense team.

Hello,

We’d like to let you know that the delivery of your most recent AdSense check payment has been slightly delayed by a few days. However, please be assured that it will be mailed to you early next week.

We appreciate your patience.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team

Update (May 14, 2009) :-

Google compensate the delay, as I am just being informed that they are using BlueDart courier service this time around for faster delivery of the pending cheque rather than usual Gov postal service !!!

Hello,

We’d like to inform you that your most recent AdSense check has been shipped via Blue Dart. You can now find a Blue Dart tracking number in your AdSense account. For your convenience, we’ve also included this tracking number here: xxxxxxxxxxx.

You can use this number to track your payment at www.bluedart.com . Please contact your local Blue Dart office if you have any questions.

Thanks for your patience.

Sincerely,

The Google AdSense Team
