Windows 7 ISO Image Edition Switcher Free Download for Direct Convert

November 1st, 2009

Windows 7 no longer has “One Disc to Rule Them All” universal installation DVD disc media or ISO image which allows users to select whichever editions of Windows 7 they prefer to install during setup. Instead, each Windows 7 installation ISO or media is specific for a channel and distribution and can be used to install an edition of Windows 7 only.

The one-edition only of Windows 7 ISO or DVD may bring inconvenient and challenges to some people. For example, TechNet or MSDN subscribers will have to use and waste unnecessary bandwidth to download multiple ISO images for each editions of Windows 7. And for people who wants to backup and archive Windows 7 ISOs or DVDs will now have to allocate more disk storage or cabinet space to save and store multiple ISO images or DVD discs, instead of just two – one for 32-bit Windows 7 and another for 64-bit Windows 7. Worse, if user want copies too for allegedly retail, upgrade, oem or volume license editions.

Windows 7 vs. Ubuntu 9.10 – Strengths and weaknesses

November 1st, 2009

Over the past few days I’ve been thinking quite a bit about the differences between Microsoft’s latest Windows 7 and Canonical’s Ubuntu 9.10.

Specifically, I’ve been thinking about the strengths and weaknesses of each of the operating systems. Is a free operating system really as good as one that you pay for?

Microsoft Store reveals official Windows 7 box art | Windows 7

June 7th, 2009

There has been a fair bit of debate about the final box art design for Windows 7; you may have seen earlier that CentrumXP revealed versions of it, which some were doubtful of, but now (thanks to Long Zheng) we may finally have official confirmation… and it seems that CentrumXP was correct. win7box

The box art has shown up on the official Microsoft Store page for Windows 7, which means it’s pretty safe to say that this will be the final box art used for the upcoming operating system. Of course, Microsoft haven’t actually confirmed themselves that this is what we will be seeing on retail shelves, but we’re pretty sure it’s safe to say that this is what it will be.
