Windows 7 Software Compatibility Testing - Microsoft Office 2007

Posted in Business, Reviews, Utilities  by Lucas Artigas

I would say, with no fear of being wrong, that most people who use or have used a Windows-based computer, either at home or work, have used or currently uses this popular office suite in any of its versions. For those who never heard of it, (if any) I can tell you that I am talking about an extremely popular commercial product that enables users to create, edit, open and save text documents, spreadsheets, presentations, databases and more. As I did with OpenOffice.org, in this article I am going to tell you how this extremely useful set of tools which is bundled under the name of Microsoft Office 2007 behaves when installed in the Windows 7 environment.

Installation and First Run
I always say that by seeing how the setup process goes you can have an approximated idea of how the program will run once it is fully installed. In this particular case I have to say that the whole process went pretty well, I can only complaint about it taking too long, so, if I paid no regard to this issue (let's assume that mine is not a super fast machine and that copying and configuring over 500MB into my HDD is not a quick task), it went smooth, starting by the extraction of files like this: Read the rest of this entry »

LinkFreeze 2.1 build 0081
License - Shareware
Publisher - Helicon Tech

LinkFreeze is a fast and easy solution to optimize dynamic or database-driven website for search engines. It optimizes dynamic links on your site by substituting all unwanted characters and making links look like static file links. Most of search engines don’t like dynamic content. They usually will not go deep indexing links with parameters, give such files much less pagerank or even refuse to crawl dynamic pages at all. The only difference between static and dynamic content is that links to dynamic files include question mark followed by a list of parameters, If you have online store, forum, or any other dynamically driven application and your site is full of such links it will be very hard to get this content indexed by search engines.

Key Features
Modifying links before server sends response to the client and rewriting URLs back when they go to the server. Users will see optimized links and server applications will not even know about it.
User friendly GUI plus text configuration files to easily configure on a dedicated server and in a shared environment.
Ability to configure how new URLs will look by setting substitution characters for ?, & and = separately.
Redirect old style URLs to the new format to save all older backward links and search results
Hide real file extensions by replacing it with .htm
Apply different settings for directories and even files.
Ability to apply transformation only to certain links on pages by filtering a link format.

Windows 7 Software Compatibility Testing - OpenOffice.org 3.1

Posted in Business, Reviews, Utilities  by Lucas Artigas

As we have seen in a previous article, OpenOffice.org is an incredible free office software suite which offers word processing, spreadsheets, presentations, graphics, databases and much more. Version 3.0 of this popular free and open productivity suite has been downloaded over 52 million times since its release in October last year. Incredible figure isn't it? But it its certainly not by chance, because it brings all the features needed to make of this piece of freeware a really interesting and competitive alternative to other paid sites like Microsoft Office. The current version is 3.1.0 so, I downloaded, installed and tested it and in this article I'm going to tell you about the way it behaves and integrates in the Windows 7 environment.

Installation & Run
Of course, the first thing that matters when it comes to testing a piece of software under a new operative system is to have a clean and smooth setup process, and OpenOffice accomplished that mission with honors (as a matter of fact I'm writing this article on OpenOffice.org Writer). No delays, no warnings, and no "Not responding" warnings at all, just unpacked the archive asked if I wanted to make a Complete or Custom setup and started right away. Read the rest of this entry »
