|
Word have been doing the rounds that Samsung has been thinking of dropping its Symbian and Windows Mobile operating systems. However, these rumors has been put down by Samsung with an iron hand and subsequently, it released a report saying that it was never in its interest to make any changes whatsoever in its strategy to support multiple open operating systems. The report was based on an official press release issued by the company on this issue.
It is noteworthy that Samsung has named its new operating system, Bada, but it is not certain how much effort and commitment they have incorporated on the new operating system. The company at present utilizes the operating systems of the Symbian, Google Android, Windows Mobile, and their new operating system Bada. From all of these, Google Android is the most previleged with permanent status in it's lineup. Samsung has also clarified, of late, of their direct involvement with Microsoft and also with the Symbian Foundation. In this way, it has calmed down the nerves of many disappointed Symbian fans.
Also, the Bada operating system is an open source operating system that shares the same advantages of the Linux OS in terms of adaptability and reliance on contributor inputs. A suspected Samsung Bada phone's images have been leaked leading to further concerns that the company will now concentrate solely on the Android and Bada. While speculations regarding the validity of this rumor are rampant, many doubted the claim as such a move is bad for any company.

Windows7 Evaluation An insight glimpse of Windows 7
|
Monday, November 23, 2009
Windows 7 has several advantages over the previous version. It improve the “fundamentals”—performance, reliability, security and compatibility. Also improvements to get quick access to any file or information on the system.
Let's do a brief Windows 7 Evaluation.
Enhancements to the Aero User Interface (UI) helps you organize your open windows and other desktop components for easier and faster access
An enhanced start menu and taskbar puts commonly-used resources within easy reach
Performance improvements made in Windows Vista SP1 continue with Windows 7, including faster boot times and resume from standby
Battery life is extended through improved power management architecture and settings
Search Federation in Windows 7 provides results from multiple computers, servers, and Web sites, and delivers these results ranked by relevance
Besides, Windows 7 helps you manage and secure your computer infrastructure in a better way.
Windows 7 Evaluation reveals that extended data encryption will lead to better security of removable media files. Very often we come to listen News reports with stories about companies losing control over sensitive information. In some industries, this is an issue with grave legal implications, while in other circumstances the issue is inconvenience. Regardless, smart compliance policy dictates that sensitive information be safeguarded in the event of a lost or stolen laptop. Preventing sensitive information from being deleted from corporate resources is a pillar of effective compliance management. Windows 7 includes BitLocker technology, which provides full encryption of all boot volumes on a computer, along with introducing BItlocker To Go that offers data protection on portable storage, such as USB flash drives. Moreover, BitLocker Drive Encryption and BitLocker To Go can be managed via Group Policy, placing more control over sensitive information in the hands of the professionals.
Windows 7 Evaluation shows its powerful scripting keep an automatic track of the file management. That heps IT administrators to maintain a consistent environment and enhance personal productivity. Windows 7 includes an updated graphical scripting editor. Windows PowerShell™ 2.0—a powerful, complete scripting language that supports branching, looping, functions, debugging, exception handling, and internationalization. PowerShell 2.0 has an intuitive, graphical user interface that helps make script generation easier, especially for administrators who are not comfortable in command-line environments. It supports two types of remoting—fan-out, which delivers management scripts on a one-to-many basis, and one-to-one interactive remoting to support troubleshooting of a specific machine. You can also use the PowerShell Restricted Shell to limit commands and command parameters to system administrators, and to restrict scripts to those who have been granted rights. PowerShell 2.0, with the Group Policy Management Console (available as a separate download), allows IT professionals to use scripting to manage Group Policy Objects and to create or edit registry-based group policy settings in Windows 7. Similarly, you can use PowerShell to configure computers more efficiently, using richer logon, logoff, startup, and shutdown scripts that are executed through Group Policy.Windows 7 Evaluation shows it is easy to create, deploy, and manage images.
The Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM) tool in Windows 7 make a central place to build and service Windows images offline. With DISM, you can do many functions with one tool: mount and unmount system images; add, remove, and enumerate packages and drivers; enable or disable Windows features; configure international settings, and maintain an inventory of offline images that contain drivers, packages features, and software updates. Windows 7 also enables the same processes and tools to be used when managing virtual machine (VHD) and native file-based (WIM) image files.
Windows 7 Evaluation shows that Windows7 with its Mulitcast Multiple Stream Transfer permit fastest transfer rate within a given bandwidth. It can manages data to multiple clients at a time or to a group clients. Also it provide better support for client virtualization. Windows 7 delivers a richer experience when users are connected to a virtual desktop—much closer to the experience provides by a native Windows desktop. For example, Windows 7 provides multi-monitor support, bi-directional audio to enable Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) and speech recognition applications, and access to local devices, such as printers.
Windows 7 Evaluation shows enhanced troubleshooting tools of Windows 7 can resolve technical issues, by the end users themselves. These troubleshooting tools help to get speed resolution. The Problem Steps Recorder permits end users to reproduce and record their experience with an application failure. A screen shot is generated for each step which accompanies logs and software configuration data. A compressed file is then created that can be forwarded to support staff to help troubleshoot the problem. Windows 7 includes a suite of troubleshooting packs, collections of PowerShell scripts, and related information that can be performed remotely by IT professionals through the command line, with control through Group Policy Setting
