An Ecosystem Update for Windows 7

Hi, Mike Nash here from the Windows Platform Strategy Team.

Earlier this week, I was in New Orleans at Microsoft’s Worldwide Partner Conference (WPC). It was amazing to see the strength and scale of the Windows ecosystem at this event, particularly as we get closer to the launch of Windows 7.

As I return to Redmond, I’d like to give an update on our approach to partner outreach and enabling the Windows ecosystem.

Driving early engagement

Our partners have been clear from the outset that they needed access to stable Windows 7 builds as early as possible. So we started our ecosystem readiness journey by delivering an API complete pre-release developer build of Windows 7 in October at the PDC, a year before our scheduled General Availability (GA). We followed that with Windows 7 Beta at CES in January, and Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC) in May.

This access has enabled partners to be in a great position to complete final testing of their products and services when Windows 7 is released to manufacturing (RTM) later this month.

Focusing on application and device compatibility

When we designed Windows 7, we worked to minimize changes in the way applications and devices interact with Windows. As a result, the work done by 3rd party software and hardware developers to make their products work on Windows Vista generally carries forward for Windows 7. In most cases, the same software and hardware that works on Windows Vista will also work on Windows 7 today.

Some software that is written to very low levels of the operating system, like antivirus and disk imaging software, may require some updates. We have been able to engage closely with those partners and have addressed compatibility issues earlier in the process. As a result, today 10 antivirus companies offer beta versions of their flagship products that are compatible with Windows 7 RC.

New content and programs for partners

Millions of developers and partners have been able to get detailed technical guidance, white papers, tools and code samples from the Windows Developer Center, so they can plan, build and test on Windows 7 sooner. Moreover, thousands of partners are participating in the Windows Ecosystem Readiness Program, which has reached nearly 45,000 software and hardware developers. And over 6 million people have checked out the content at Ready. Set. 7 about how many of our partners are preparing for and innovating on Windows 7.

How customers can get ready for Windows 7

We’ve also been working to ensure customers can take advantage of all of this great work by the Windows ecosystem.

We have created the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, an end-user tool designed to help customers assess their ability to upgrade their Windows XP or Windows Vista-based PCs to Windows 7. A Beta version of the can be downloaded here.

We also have the Windows 7 Logo Program, to help customers know what is compatible with Windows 7. While many products will work with Windows 7, products that carry the “Compatible with Windows 7” logo have passed testing for compatibility with Windows 7 – and because 64-bit support is a logo requirement, logo’d devices will work with both 32 and 64 bit!

Compatible with Windows 7

Business customers can also use the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor, but they need more information on compatibility for enterprise applications. So we’ve also put together a comprehensive list of the most widely used enterprise applications, which we have continuously tested on Windows 7 throughout the product cycle. In addition, there is the Application Compatibility Toolkit (ACT) to help customers assess compatibility of software.

For internally developed line-of-business (LOB) applications, Windows 7 provides a number of in-box compatibility tools. For example, if an application fails to install because of a hard-coded version check (some software installers check the version of Windows you’re running), the Program Compatibility Troubleshooter can troubleshoot the problem by using a version number expected by the installer and running the installer again, with user consent.

How developers can get ready for Windows 7

If you’re a developer and you haven’t yet started testing for Windows 7, I recommend you do 5 key things:

  1. Go download the Windows 7 Release Candidate and try it out.
  2. Get compatible and test your products.  You can visit www.readyset7.com to learn more about getting ready for Windows 7.
  3. Test for the Logo Requirements with our Windows Logo Kit for software and hardware.
  4. Tell the world!  Make a statement of support on the Windows Compatibility Center.
  5. Unlock your creativity and innovation with the new features in Windows 7. Get started by taking advantage of new opportunities in Windows 7 by evaluating the Windows 7 Developer Guide and Windows Hardware Developer Central.

Being at WPC is a good reminder of all the work it takes across tens of thousands of companies and millions of developers and IT professionals to get ready for a new Windows release. So let me conclude by saying THANK YOU to all of our partners from around the world for your engagement, testing, innovation and feedback – all which will help make Windows 7 a great release for our mutual customers.

--Mike

Microsoft Outlook 2007 worth buying: Email Software Review - MSFT


I know that many of those who use the free Microsoft e-mail client like Outlook Express or Windows Mail (for free because it comes with Windows) or by e-mail Web-based services, such as Windows Live Hotmail service. What amazes me is that few of my knowledge, including professionals who are willing to pay in advance.
I bought Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 as an independent program started at the same time, four months ago, and could not be happier.
Here are features I like, at cost:

1. Compatibility between Outlook and Word

I often copy text from Word and paste into Outlook: format. Previously, when I do this is to use Outlook Express and Windows Mail, and the results are usually a disaster. I had to spend time reformatting the text, which I created in Word. It is equally effective for this purpose are not the same thing twice.

However, when I copy from Outlook and paste in the Word. Also, when I received a letter from other countries, I do not see how I can clean much more quickly than any free program.

2. Reported post

Outlook 2007, you can e-mail tag in your Inbox or other e-mail, using a function called "category".

Do you have time to process each message when you get it? Of course not. Categories Outlook allows you to label e-mail string of choice. I use words like "Time", "response", "research" and "Reading." Moreover, you can color code each category. It is a huge time saver, I will not lose the message. Or Outlook Express and Windows Mail have this functionality. Do not pay the previous version of Microsoft Office Outlook 2003

3. Find messages

Windows Mail has a good search function. I believe nothing. However, as a result, I had to open each message individually to see that file. Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 provides a solution. Now open the "Preview" so every time I select a list of projects, e-mail content is displayed in a separate window. Save minutes every time I need to find some, the rapid increase in hours.

4. Incoming e-mail editor

How long do you receive an e-mail may receive unsolicited messages from topics such as "again", "before" or white? Almost embarrassing, old topic information, and then change the subject completely different? In Outlook, you can change the subject line. I need to do is save the original, but the acquisition of [square brackets] much, so when I saw the list, I am well aware of the contents of the message. Outlook also allows you to change any other part of the information clearly.

Here are the main benefits that I received a letter from the pay.

In Canada, Best Buy is currently selling in Microsoft Office Outlook 2007 C US $ 159.99. Otherwise, you can download a free 60 day trial in 2007 of the category of English or French language, from the Microsoft.
