Installing Windows 7 on a netbook

“Lately I have been playing a lot with Windows 7 and saw quite a number of posts from people who are installing it in all sorts of hardware and especially on netbooks.

The netbook installation can be tricky because… well netbooks don’t come with DVD drives and so many face the question “how do I boot into the Windows 7 installer?”.

Application Compatibility Testing -- Overview

“Delivering a new release of Windows includes a major effort to insure that applications continue to function as well on the new release as they have on the previous release. At the PDC we talked about some of the new areas of Windows Vista that reduced this level of compatibility, such as changes we made around the OS security model. With Windows 7 we renewed our engineering efforts to maintain compatibility. As with device testing, compatibility testing is an effort that spans the entire engineering organization, though we also have a group that is dedicated to this effort. This post was authored by a set of folks and coordinated by Grant George, the corporate vice president for testing in the Windows Experience team. –Steven”

An interesting article over at Business Insider, discussing Microsoft’s decision to continue supporting Windows XP with the Office 14 upgrade expected next year.

Chris said:

Our install base of Office 2003 and 2007 is actually quite quite high in enterprises even if XP is what most enterprises are still using on their PCs.  We're looking at XP [for Office 14] with some service pack.  We don't think it makes sense to require only Windows 7 with a new version of Office.

I personally don’t find Microsoft’s decision all that surprising, especially with the case of Windows XP still remaining strong after 8 years on the market. Microsoft Office has always been known as a product to support generations of Windows behind the latest version. Take for example, Office 2000, you could run it on Windows ME, 2000, 98 SE, 98, NT 4 and 95.

Microsoft has not set any specific date pertaining to the next release, but recent leaked screenshots have shown its still a work in progress. Microsoft is also hard at work on the next version of Exchange Server, code name ‘Exchange 14’ the Company’s Mail and Collaboration system.
