Windows 7 - Release Date Announced

I am sure many of us have already been privileged by using Windows 7 Beta and even more of us are still waiting for the release of Windows 7 and hopefully this new version will replace their previous operating system: Windows Vista in a better way.

The developers promise Windows 7 will be simpler to use, and more functional, with less of what you don't need and more of what you do.

Microsoft announced that it will make available an upgrade option in order for partners to be able to offer their customers the ability to buy a Windows Vista-based PC, and then just install Windows 7 when it’s ready.

The release date for Windows 7 has been confirmed as October 22, 2009. In addition, Windows Server 2008 R2 will also be available at around the same time.

Microsoft says it has been working closely with partners to ensure their mutual customers can enjoy all the benefits of Windows 7 once it is released.

Apple MacBooks - New Design

“Apple introduces new unibody design method”

Apple claims to have taken a fresh approach to building their product. What this basically means is that they have taken design to a new level. Instead of having multiple parts that fit together making up the macbook, they have replaced the many parts with one single part.

The new unibody design consists of a single piece of carved alluminum that encloses the macbook's critical parts, giving it a sturdy, strong but also light design. Each casing is milled from a solid block of aluminum using hi-tech CNC machines.

Apple engineers believe this new desgn method will further reduce failures, thereby extending the life and reliability of the macbook.

Every Macbook has the power saving NVIDIA GeForce 9400M integrated graphics processor and the new MacBook Pro trackpad, giving more room to track and click.

Considering that customers are increasingly demanding easy to use, strong, mobile products Apple seems to have taken a step in the right direction with their new design.
