Windows 7- Improvement since Beta for the RC

Posted in News, Utilities  by Yuki

When we are now enjoying the happiness and convenience Windows 7 Beta brought, the engineering team of Windows 7 are busying on RC (Release Candidate). Since we got this news, most of us feel curious about the change. What will we get from RC since Beta? Yesterday, we finally got the changes from official engineering blog of Windows 7.

Totally, there must be some improvements, many under the hood but also many visible. For the visible changes, we discuss from three points of view: Core User Experience, Find & Organize and Devices & Media.

Core User Experience
1. Aero Peeks supports ALT+TAB
Customers have overwhelmingly given positive feedback about Aero Peek. Some users wondered the reason why Peek was never made in application for the ALT+TAB window. When we hold the mouse over the taskbar, the thumbnail shows the same way. Hence in RC, Windows took this request into it.

As a new piece of improvement in Windows 7, the selected windows show normally. With a partially transparent frame,some website windows are mostly transparent. This time in RC, customers can switch them with ALT+TAB. Aero Peek will appear when more window information is needed. There is also another application. Some users are dedicated to touch benefits. So, the Aero Peek let us drag our fingers in taskbar's thumbnails. the show desktop button is improving, we can conveniently see our desktop in a press-and-hold way. Read the rest of this entry »

Internet Explorer 8 RC1 - First Impressions

Posted in Internet, Reviews  by Lucas Artigas

Windows Internet Explorer 8 RC1 (RC stands for Release Candidate) came recently out of the kitchen and today I'm going to share with you the first impressions after having downloaded installed and tested it on Windows XP.

Together we are going to go through all the novelties in terms of features, functionality and debugging brought by this brand new RC1 version of Microsoft's web browser.

At first sight we see that quick response and a fresh new look (in comparison with version 7), make of IE8 RC1 a much more attractive and fast browsing experience. As a matter of fact, Internet Explorer 8 is faster, more compatible and its tabbed browsing has been highly enhanced, it is now, in addition, more stable and has a more efficient response. Now you can get information in fewer steps, access to your e-mail, favorite news sites or other online services with a single click.

Bugs Fixed!
But what most pleased me is that the annoying delay that occurred in older versions of IE when you opened a new tab is finally fixed. And despite the fact that this update does not include big improvements in the interface or a lot of new features (all major novelties were presented in IE8 Beta 2), it brings corrections for many performance issues including web pages rendering. Fortunately it consumes less RAM, most of the bugs in the Compatibility Mode have been repaired, and there are improvements regarding CSS 2.1 support. Read the rest of this entry »

LangOver: a Simple Solution for Multi language Writers

Posted in Home & Education, Reviews, Utilities  by FLOR

In this article I will introduce you to a simple but truly time-saving free software that will be of much help for writers and who are used to shift their keyboards layouts from one language to another.

It may have happened to you that when intending to type in one certain language, let's say English, the outcome was in another, Chinese for instance. So far, the only solution for this was erasing what you had just typed and re typing it again after shifting your keyboard layout, using ALT+SHIFT. But this solution, apart from being annoying does certainly imply a waste of time.

But I have come across a freeware which offers a really simple one-key solution for this kind of inconvenience: LangOver 5.

Using LangOver 5.0.11 you can convert your text quickly between languages by pressing a single key: F10. LangOver supports any language. The software can convert from any language to English, and from English to any language, thus helping you save time.

When running the program for the first time, it will ask you to set the languages you may probably need to shift from and to. Afterwards, be you using Word, Notepad, Excel or any other software in Windows, Windows XP or even Vista, you will be allowed to shift your text so as to appear in the language you want. For instance, let's say you write "HELLO" and you want it to be written in English, but you forgot to press ALT+SHIFT and your keyboard layout was set in Russian, so the outcome is in Russian language: you simply press F10 and LangOver changes the word for you.
