Windows 7 ISO Edition Switcher

[ Thursday, October 29, 2009 | View Comments ]
Windows 7If you want to install a specific edition of Windows 7, say Windows 7 Professional, you need a Windows 7 Professional setup disk or iso image. If you only got another edition of Windows 7 you are out of luck. The Windows 7 ISO Edition Switcher provides users with a solution to patch a Windows 7 ISO so that it will install a different version of the operating system during setup. It is for instance possible to turn a Windows 7 Ultimate edition into Windows 7 Professional. The user installing the operating system still needs a valid product key for the Windows 7 edition that gets installed afterwards but the need to re-download or create an ISO image is no longer delaying the installation.

[ Saturday, October 24, 2009 | View Comments ]
Windows 7Microsoft is allowing netbook users to download Windows 7, its new operating system, onto a bootable USB or burn it onto a DVD, in yet another move by Redmond to disseminate the operating system to as many users as possible. Although Microsoft reported yet another quarter of declining revenues, executives remain hopeful that Windows 7, rising PC sales and a sunnier economic outlook will translate into a more profitable 2010.

Microsoft has developed a solution for porting Windows 7 onto netbooks that lack a DVD drive: a USB memory stick. The feature was announced during the Windows 7 launch event in New York City on Oct. 22.

Install and Use XP Mode in Windows 7

| View Comments ]
Windows 7Sometimes all of the compatibility settings in Windows 7 are not enough to make legacy applications run. XP Mode is a free download component for Windows 7 Professional, Ultimate and Enterprise customers that allows you to run legacy apps inside a Windows XP virtual machine running in the background. The end user does not have load and work inside the virtual machines as required in the past. With XP mode they start the application from a shortcut in the Start Menu. It appears like any other window on your desktop and taskbar. The only way you can tell it is running in the XP Virtual Machine in the background is by the XP visual style that surrounds the window.

The only hardware requirement for using XP mode is a computer with a processor that supports hardware-assisted virtualization such as AMD-V, Intel-VT or VIA VT.  Microsoft has a helpful tool that will detect if your hardware is compatible called the HAV Detection Tool. On some computers the feature may be turned off in the BIOS, click here for instructions on how to turn it on.

Microsoft Releases New Windows 7 Themes

[ Thursday, October 22, 2009 | View Comments ]
Today is the big day and Microsoft is doing everything to promote their new operating system as much as possible. One of those promotional efforts is a truckload of new themes for the operating system. Remember the Windows 7 Ferrari theme that we reviewed a while ago? Seems that it was just one of many sponsored themes to come. If you visit the personalization website over at the Windows website you notice that Microsoft has added fourteen (for the US, less in other countries) additional sponsored themes from Gears of War to Porsche and Ducati, Coca Cola and Pepsi. Each theme comes in the new theme format that Microsoft introduced in Windows 7 which makes it possible to install the themes with a double-click once they have been downloaded to the computer system.

The 20 available international themes are available on the very same page. It does not look like if new ones have been added to the list yet. The themes that are offered on the website are easy to produce and not “full themes”. I prefer to call them light themes as they only change some elements of the computer desk opposed to third party themes in Windows XP or Windows Vista which could change additional elements (like buttons) in the operating system. You can check out our how to create custom themes in Windows 7 to find out how you can create your own light theme in Windows 7.
