Microsoft has introduced a bunch of features, such as JumpList and Windows Search, in its latest operating system edition Windows 7 Home Premium Key. Additional features, such as HomeGroup, Windows Media Center and Aero are also present in this edition, which were earlier meant for the business editions only.

Features, usability and recommendation If you want to get all those exciting features on your computer then upgrade your computer to latest Windows 7 Home Premium. But before you upgrade you should know about eligibility factors, available upgrade options and compatibility of your computer’s hardware component.

Microsoft has given a smooth way to upgrade from current OS to latest Windows 7 Home Premium. Let’s start the upgrade with Windows Vista operating system. For the sake of understanding it will be mention ahead as “true upgrade”. It is offered in two modes, one is Free while the other one is paid service. Free upgrade has been offered in collaboration with some leading manufacturers like HP, Dell, and Lenovo etc. If you have purchased your PC with a Windows Vista license on or after July 1, 2009 to January 1, 2010, then you are shortlisted applicant for it. April 30, 2010, is the dead line within which the licensed copy of Windows 7 Home Premium upgrade shall be delivered to you.

Next, if you have a Visa operating system, but you don’t fall in the eligibility list of Free upgrade, you can purchase Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade CD/DVDs from an authentic source.

Important:

Only Windows Vista Home Premium is supported for true upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium.

Installation procedure is pretty simple, just load your DVD-ROM with the CD/DVD of Windows 7 Home Premium and restart your computer to boot, sometimes you may need to change the boot order from BIOS, if required. Now, let the setup to execute and start the installation wizard. You need to follow the on-screen prompts and everything will be carried away in an automatic way. Enter your product activation key, which will be mentioned as a 25 digit alpha-numeric key above your DVD’s cover. In addition enter computer name and user name.

This program is available as free download from Microsoft’s website. It suggests if there is any requirement for hardware upgrade. Do as recommended.

For your convenience, I have mentioned the minimum hardware configuration for Windows 7 Home Premium as:

Processor-1 gigahertz (GHz) or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64)

Memory-1 gigabyte (GB) RAM (32-bit) or 2 GB RAM (64-bit)

Hard disk-16 GB available hard disk space (32-bit) or 20 GB (64-bit)

Home Premium on your computer. Installation process remains the same, except when prompted for “Type of Installation”, and just click on “Clean Install”. But never forget to back up your previous hard disk in order to retain your important programs and settings in your new environment.

We all know the future lies in mobile. And big technology giants like Microsoft, Google and Apple are all trying their mighty best to ride on the current wave of mobile revolution and establish themselves as the future leader of mobile platforms.

While Apple is comfortably positioned, with its ‘closed’ iOS platform driving millions of hardware sales every month and Google is writing a different success story with Android’s “open” mobile platform becoming the top mobile platform across the globe, Microsoft has joined the party late with its totally re-worked Windows Phone platform.

And despite constant efforts by Microsoft to attract people to buy Windows Phone handsets, things haven’t worked well for MS so far. Sales have been disappointing, largely due to lack of an attractive and populated App market.

The recent quarterly result by Microsoft led some analysts to conclude that Windows Phone platform has performed abysmal so far, making only a little over $600Mn in revenues for Microsoft, while consuming much more money towards platform development, advertising expenses and related collaborations.

But still, Microsoft is very positive about the future prospects of Windows Phone and has released ‘Mango’ version of Windows Phone, the next big upgrade to WP platform, fixing all reported bugs and bringing aboard plenty of other features to the platform.

Windows Marketplace is also getting richer in apps, both from quantity and quality perspective. With the latest announcement by Nokia to pursue Windows Phone as their primary mobile platform for future smartphone developments, developer community has found a great deal of possibilities in Windows Phone platform.

Also, the recent acquisition of Skype by Microsoft will ensure that Windows Phone platform will soon have a tight and much attractive integration with the popular VoIP and video conferencing service in the days to come.

Android becoming more and more vulnerable to patent infringements and resulting in handset manufacturers pay royalty to Microsoft for every sale they make, is also a growing concern for mobile industry and could serve as a huge advantage for Microsoft to act as the safer ship for hardware manufacturers to sail on.

All in all, Microsoft has valid reasons to continue investing in its fresh and promising mobile platform and should not worry about short term losses they’re currently bearing.

CCNP certification is one of the Cisco. CCNP certification is middle level of the Cisco. If you want to get a CCNP certification. You can take the exam without having to first obtain CCNA certification. So you should be try get a CCNP certification. In fact, CCNP certification is very easy and widely of the word. CCNP certification will help you get successful career in the near future.
To earn your CCNP, you first have to earn your CCNA certification. Then you’re faced with a decision – take the three-exam CCNP path, or the four-exam path? They’re both quite demanding, so let’s take a look at each path.
The four-exam CCNP path includes the Building Scalable Cisco Internetworks exam (BSCI), Building Cisco Multilayer Switched Networks exam (BCMSN), Building Cisco Remote Access Networks (BCRAN), and Cisco Internetwork Troubleshooting (CIT) exam.
The three-exam path combines the BSCI and BCMSN exams into a single exam, called the Composite exam.
I’m often asked what order I recommend taking the exams in. After earning your CCNA, I recommend you begin studying for the BSCI exam immediately. You will find the fundamentals you learned in your CCNA studies will help you a great deal with this exam. You’re going to add to your CCNA knowledgebase quite a bit when it comes to CCNA CERTIFICAITON and EIGRP, as well as being introduced to BGP.
I don’t have a preference between the BCMSN and BCRAN exams, but I do recommend you take the CIT exam last. You’ll be using all the skills you learned in the first three exams to pass the CIT. It’s a very demanding exam, and it’s a little hard to troubleshoot technologies that you haven’t learned yet!
The CCNP is both financially and personally fulfilling. Once you complete your CCNA studies, take a little breather and then get started on your CCNP studies. The more you know, the more valuable you are in today’s ever-changing IT job market.
