سلام به همگی دوستان
شاید این مطلب خیلی مربوط به فروم نباشه ولی از اونجایی که خبر جالب و غیر منتظره ای از جانب ماکروسافت بود، گفتم که برای دوستان بزارمش:

ماکروسافت اخیرا در وبلاگ (https://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/default.aspx) مربوط به ویندوز سونش، توضیحاتی راجع به گذاشتن لینک دانلود نسخه ی بتای این سیستم عامل در چند روز آینده گذاشته.

ظاهرا قراره این لینک بعد از سخنرانی ای از استیو بالمر در 7 ژانویه در این وبلاگ (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/default.aspx) گذاشته بشه.

البته این خبر وسه ی یه مدتی پیشه.
خبر جدید ترشم اینه که این لینک دانلود به tester ها داده شده و داره مراحل تست رو پشت سر می گذرونه.

با تشکر

شرکت اسوس هم اعلام کرده روي لپ‌تاپ Eee PC 900 با پردازنده 900 مگاهرتزي Celeron اينتل هم نصب خواهد کرد . چون این لب تاب برای ویستا کم می آورد.
در ضمن در خبر ها آمده که نسخه آزمايشي ويندوز 7 در نمايشگاه فن‌آوري لاس وگاس به نمایش در خواهد آمد.

ویستاش که خیلی بد بود از cpu بیش از حد کار می کشه.

این دفعه سیاست مایکروسافت شفاف تره
بلاگ زده برای ویندوز 7 ، تند تند بتا میده دست مردم ، ...
یکی از بدی های ویستا ، حجم زیادیه که از هارد دیسک اشغال می کنه (winsxs ، کش اینستالر ها ، ....)
(وگرنه من از ویستای SP1 خودم که فول آپدیت هست راضی ام)
با توجه به فراگیرتر شدن SSD ها و Netbook هایی مثل Eee و Dell Mini ، میخوان میزان رم و دیسک مصرفی رو کاهش بدن (مثلا با 1GB رم و 16 GB هارد قابل اجرا باشه)
ظاهرا کارای خوبی دارن می کنن. مایکروسافت نمی تونه ویندوز 7 رو مثل ویستا گند بزنه ، وگرنه ضرر زیادی خواهد دید و به نظر من این دفعه شاهد سیستم عامل بهتری خواهیم بود.
(این جابجایی های اخیر در مدیر پروژه ها و آرکیتکت های مایکروسافت هم جالب بود ، نشون میده واقعا دارن دیدشون رو عوض می کنن. (مثل Rico ، Russinovich ، ...))

خدا کنه .
البته تو وبلاگش هم گفته از Min کرنل استفاده کردند. و شنیده شده که کرنل ویستا حدود 2 گیگ هست که تو ویندوز 7 با min کرنل حدود 25 مگا بایت هست

دوست عزیز نسخه هایی که الان هست، همون نسخه ی بتای اولیه ای هست که در PDC ماکروسافت تحت عنوان Just For Test ارائه کرد و صرفا براش کرک هایی نوشته شده که امکانات محدودی رو که می گذاشت برداشته، لذا برای دسترسی به نسخه ی بتای صحیح سالمی که خود ماکروسافت می خواد ارائه کنه، باید یه هفته ی دیگه هم صبر کنید.

شرکت مايکروسافت عرضه عمومي نسخه بتاي سيستم‌عامل Windows 7 را براي يک دوره زماني کوتاه به تعويق انداخت. اين اقدام زماني صورت گرفت که مايکروسافت براي فعال نگه‌داشتن سايت مخصوص Windows 7 در روز جمعه با مشکل مواجه شد.

شرکت مايکروسافت در وبلاگ رسمي خود نوشت: «به دنبال ترافيک بسيار شديد در سايت اينترنتي ما که نشان از علاقه فراوان کاربران به نسخه بتاي سيستم‌عامل Windows 7 دارد، ما پيش از عرضه عمومي نسخه بتاي اين سيستم‌عامل، براي حمايت از سايت Microsoft.com در حال افزودن برخي زيرساخت‌ها به آن هستيم».

در ادامه اين مطلب آمده است: «ما مي‌خواهيم از اين مسئله اطمينان حاصل کنيم که کاربران هنگام بارگذاري اين برنامه بهترين تجربه ممکن را داشته باشند و به‌زودي نسخه بتاي سيستم‌عامل Windows 7 را به صورت عمومي عرضه خواهيم کرد. ما بسيار خوشحاليم از اينکه مي‌بينيم شما براي عرضه اين سيستم‌عامل خوشحال هستيد».

در اين ميان، شرکت مايکروسافت روز جمعه کدهايي را که برخي کاربران بر اساس آن اين نرم‌افزار را دريافت مي‌کردند نيز از سايت خود حذف کرد.
اين شرکت اعلام کرد که اميدوار است ميليون‌ها کاربر در سراسر دنيا نسخه بتاي اين سيستم‌عامل را مورد آزمايش قرار دهند. "استيو بالمر"(Steve Ballmer) مديرعامل مايکروسافت حين انجام سخنراني اصلي افتتاحيه نمايشگاه Consumer Electronics Show خبر عرضه عمومي نسخه بتاي اين سيستم‌عامل را منتشر کرد.

شرکت مايکروسافت اميدوار است که نسخه نهايي اين سيستم‌عامل براي تعطيلات پايان سال جاري ميلادي آماده شود، اما "بيل وگت"(Bill Veghte) مدير مرکز Windows در شرکت مايکروسافت اعلام کرد که هنوز بسيار زود است که مايکروسافت اعلام کند اين سيستم‌عامل را در آن زمان عرضه خواهد کرد. به طور رسمي، مايکروسافت پيش‌تر تاکيد کرده بود که سه سال پس از عرضه سيستم‌عامل ويندوز ويستا در ژانويه 2007،‌ نسخه جديد اين سيستم‌عامل را روانه بازار خواهد کرد.

خوب از اونجایی که احتمال داره خیلی ها برن سراغ ویندوز سون، در همین تاپیک ادامه مباحث مربوط به اون رو پی می گیرم.

در این پست به نقل از این سایت (http://www.howtogeek.com)، به تفاوت ها و امکانات جالبی که بر ویندوز سون افزوده شده، اشاره می شود. البته راجع به این سیستم عامل این روز ها خیلی صحبت میشه و حجم بالایی از سایت ها به بیان همچین مسائلی می پردازند ولی از اونجایی که اولا این سایت برای بیان مطالب از عکس، بهره ی بالایی برده و ثانیا اینکه من وقت ترجمه ندارم و البته هم نمی خواد به خاطر متن سادش، این مطلب رو برای شما آماده کردم:


What You Should Expect from the Windows 7 Beta (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/the-geek-blog/what-you-should-expect-from-the-windows-7-beta/)

If you haven't already heard, the Windows 7 Public Beta is going to be released today through the Microsoft website (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/windows-7/default.aspx), and the first 2.5 million people to register with Microsoft will receive access to the Beta 1 version. Today we'll run through the features and what you should expect.
I've been using the beta for a couple of weeks, and yesterday I got my hands on the official Beta 1 release, which is good enough to use on a regular basis if it wasn't for the hard cut-off date… yes, the beta release has an expiration date on August 1st 2009, after which it will stop working.
If you wanted to sum up Windows 7 in a few words: it's Windows Vista with a few new features and almost all the annoyances and bugs removed… and a really shiny coat of paint. It's impressive, so we'll hop straight into the screenshots.
The Screenshot Tour
The default desktop for Windows 7 is clean and simple, and like almost everything in this release, is really quite impressive.


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pGt4iQYHEIHHeyvkoNWxTmbOB202TWkI2YYM93pbf0JhwqMU nOtprIY2uh2VKinXjxA9mYukWrD5g5RXHj5t2vg/1.png


The first thing that you can't miss is the new taskbar, which uses large icons instead of taskbar buttons and integrates Quick Launch functionality at the same time. You'll notice in this screenshot that the Windows Media Player icon isn't "active", because I don't have an instance open… but it's been Pinned to the taskbar.


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pGt4iQYHEIHGWNuMCd9YEqc0LducUafRsqOnrnskDBfDZuJG MZAFRnh5D4Uvd7Jt4VeUA9fXi7-LGF6veUN--_w/2.png


The popup preview thumbnails have been enhanced to show multiple windows side by side, which is much more useful than the Vista way, especially since Windows 7 combines windows by default: even if you have only two windows open, they will be combined into a single taskbar button.
When hovering over one of the previews, Windows 7 will automatically flip to that window so you can see in a larger view which window it is. Very useful for Word documents, I think.


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pAk7W1951NDM5-SEoWzpwEh-Xfwu3BKpjTmiMBa043P2J_UnFFGNAZ6ZdPliF5rarnqpeLIE3J YNYflD66uxUgQ/3.png


The new taskbar buttons also have a new right-click menu, which gives you access to special folders or recent documents. There's a new API that allows applications to add items to this list, so expect in the future for this to become a big deal.


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pAk7W1951NDOuUVT4vBw0JlP63PPDju2XI0sfaAI4t1ak9yd 3GNhnKNMRiw87I6KfgtyQ9opydKpLYE4j-MVbmA/4.png


If you don't like the taskbar functionality, you can revert back to the Windows Vista method by opening up Taskbar and Start Menu Properties (right click \ Properties). The "Taskbar buttons" setting will let you turn off the single icon mode, and you can choose "Use small icons" to turn off the big icons.


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pkBURUPiMfR8GVexBKvLLb-J0AAVJ1QW8JL-NakASiF1gTos6gN0cjxTjlcCprPBUUxtY7gpWCR6TEX6nv_QoY g/5.png


The next thing you might notice is that there is no longer a "Sidebar" for the Gadgets… you'll have to right-click on the desktop and choose Gadgets to add more, which can be dragged to the desktop anywhere you'd like. You'll also notice you can get quick access to your resolution from here.


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pOubHHuVG6Tc83Lp_uxk_b52Hgczlhd8BT951_1VSVoWuqDt u9n01S5nJ40lXEEKLA1DMrN2UZyoDWCslYSFzpA/6.png


If you want to dock the gadgets to the side like you used to, you still can: If you drag the desktops to the side of the screen, they will dock there:


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pvza7eIlQfPtQctHXRlLU2IITBrBzWNq5IZy9ldEapg8iq7F zcp6c1oF6HJO9S58GRr4nmok1jSkngG0P75kUOg/7.png


The Start Menu is roughly the same as before, although you'll notice the Shut Down button is much simpler, and can be configured to a different action right in the Taskbar and Start menu properties screen.


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1p-Vu6BlSMjPfFf8hHnppzuL6v5b8N2pSfvLYn-FP6FP925P--6gRxWelpOsz_L5t_m47ZIXo7omO2MDd0-AiqiQ/8.png


You'll notice the arrow next to Getting Started… whenever you see an arrow on a pinned item, you can hover over it to see a list of tasks on the right-hand side, with a rather fun "slide out" effect that I can't really show in a screenshot.
In fact, it's tough to show off the real "slickness" of the UI in these screenshots… you have to try it for yourself to understand: things are just smooth.


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pzJyaB2RZcbwOEHlN-oE7KP-g7UBw4S-FFjZ_3LeqLsvZ0XAs-BMxtI4mS22b38Se0NRXRw7n9KIozBpFjiYZ0w/9.png


When you search, the taskbar "morphs" into a full-size search screen - a huge improvement from Vista, and the search results are pretty good, although still not perfect.


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pzJyaB2RZcbymA_GNTqcf-griq6EetZ2kul6dg6POLq40jNv5oh4zOEQZrTQBKiIcpBbqEUW l0yu0o4Z17kAapA/10.png


Another really slick new feature lets you maximize or tile windows by dragging them to one of the sides of the screen… for instance, you drag the current window to the left side of the screen and you'll see a glass window effect…


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1piFqcQii9ktLBILbuOA2LjIHw3KzRfCG-Tj3fs04ugKDIo_uPCB_Hoh7_IwLImzEZxASAjY0G0W-cUWHbGIkXrA/11.png


And once you let go of the mouse, the window will take up exactly half of the screen. Very useful for tiling windows.


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pikF2fyevhWlBUtf6m9M9nvM8GgeAmZRHnjGtwvCh2OuIEOk 7L-7iPah2zKl4bM3CbvnSzn5RxRMwVNcR7f4apQ/12.png


This also works for maximizing by dragging to the top of the screen… letting go of the mouse at this point would maximize the current window:


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pJQpLW59GB8DW3HNTw7I1FZajZ959AfxKqwn6XPJobwijLEK TFAPSqEkwBpSRmghbq1JCFEXvNxnkEvh-IBz_qQ/13.png


This also works if you drag a window corner to one of the edges of the screen, Windows 7 will let you make the window fill the whole space from top to bottom.


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pZICtEmluBxKF67SFVYUM0qSWNlNJTj8n1XlNgjmL7n8-k2uJvv7xesC8MjkU7Uw6SxzGWK2jLMBzykbbUP2ytA/14.png


You might have noticed a little unused area on the taskbar right next to the clock… this is the new "Show Desktop" icon, with an added twist: if you hover your mouse over it, it will turn all of the open windows to glass, letting you see what is beneath. This would maybe be useful if you have desktop gadgets on the screen, or just want to see your wallpaper.


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pZdN7X3AA5T4nJZWZHPdel67nffZoNvKqIlsuJCG4HqERe-yslykJZziCuadCeMwFyKcMVPPvBQVsVuFrOWGTLA/15.png


The system tray is also changed, with all extra icons being hidden behind a little arrow. You'll also note that the current date is shown on the screen now, since the taskbar is taller.


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1p4IrVp1WGSJK0vP-YxeU5YuvCMV3SToe8_MgXRtGc07ZuXQG8v9N_ueEykXUr76h1c 6lzghZwUnSpimLndZRC5Q/16.png


One of the default items is important: the Action Center icon now consolidates all of the Windows Security error or notification messages into a single icon…


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1p4IrVp1WGSJKlxshrf7ysn6vw5scE0nZV-TaebKZyLtZbaG1iE8wQM-NEPzXxBOdIbMcjRHaVOD4ptBNecb2SNg/17.png


And even better, you get to choose which errors you want to hear about, and which ones you don't. HUGE improvement over Vista.


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pze5iBBYxDeTc_aUOpJn5MvC10_1kMAb9kW-t2-8P5YX7OU97uH3PxzRqcJnoHK0xQVfQWW0Ix2RqyYCouppdYg/18.png


By clicking on the wrench icon you can choose which notifications appear on the taskbar:


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pze5iBBYxDeQJR1ENZ0_FhSFuDJuqNLnJQHlm301gwt5yxoc A852QDzN6LcitwLIDulnvr4-3c_3yqDP-9C5IIQ/19.png


You can also change which security messages show up:


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pDypqjwwfcEfWR_PRrte2TWmfDVyXqgSHPqCpFvEW1QOQac8 A0fr0-t-f35RDro_Ub0pPsMjss6UN7D8rCUarxA/20.png


The Action Center is your new "hub" to review all of the messages and notifications… more on that in a future article, but one of the biggest changes in Windows 7 is hidden behind it… click on the User Account Control settings:


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1ppsX7FwOewa2mCBhy21RoMbCRGpa1T9YR75QT_jhg4H9_swT tzG8TR_cnFbpIjlaUpB3N37uuiNnkbpg_-kn_hw/21.png


And you'll see a new "Slider", which lets you change the amount of UAC notifications, and by default UAC is nearly disabled for users with administrative rights. The only time you will see UAC messages is during a new application install.


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pJZzKTNxieFzh7E9IObY1mA-tb_FettVO7cj0jMT6_quVX-19huZufsDJcV6K7ubv41CwavWls5Qqyt92Bsn6Hw/22.png


Continuing through the Control Panel, there is a completely new panel for customizing your desktop using themes, with easy access to all the relevant settings from a single window.


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pTwaGh3PxHXoDw9hf1_daCh5yObREu8OSf_UlBXMankFTucf JjxteoDRtfjwamVr3UQJar28yrKyJHyp2Ff799g/23.png


Many of the windows that used to be separate dialogs are now integrated directly into the regular Control Panel, like this one for changing your display appearance:


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pWsAuJi6Ot6igKqRhr2kIe6vm3mp1fFc65jrhE_tPxa9YHMw hLR4ZpAl2EPnd2efPnZGgv4Og-u3iBzURRwZXHg/24.png


A smaller thing to note… the Windows Experience score maximum has been increased to 7.9 instead of 5.9 in Vista.


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pWsAuJi6Ot6hq2M-6uebwGWL-F_8oepaa9dB9lyW65ulepr9L2o58rSPFj9Bg2zzkzDSZnqlnQf 7kQ7t6yxjzmw/25.png


One important thing to note is that when you go to your user folder, you will see a bunch of "Libraries", which are essentially search folders banded together so you can find all your pictures, documents, or music in a single place. This feature is quite useful, but is going to take some time to get used to.


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pctGv_IpYDcCs3BSpvhxcdF_-0_TKm6agFO_Py68o6qVrZ1kQyngKLk_7hD2gA5eHTddQ7GvoyH Cercq__WG1TA/26.png


You'll notice in the screenshot above there's a new "Homegroup" item in the list, and yes, they've completely revamped network sharing in Windows 7 with a much simpler interface that we'll cover in future articles.
Other Features
There's a whole bunch of other features in Windows 7 that we don't really have time to cover today…


New Calculator.
Internet Explorer 8 is integrated by default.
XPS Viewer integrated.
New versions of Paint and Wordpad with the "Ribbon" interface.
Revamped Windows Backup.
New "Home Groups" for sharing files and folders.
New, easier Wireless connections tray icon.
Media Center is Updated with new features.
Faster bootup and installation times.
Other stuff.

The other thing to note is that Windows Mail, Calendar, Photo Gallery, Movie Maker and Contacts have been removed from Windows 7 and are now part of the downloadable Windows Live Essentials (http://download.live.com/).
Installing Windows 7
I realize it's illogical, but now we'll skip to installing it (the other screenshots were more interesting). The startup installation screen is pretty familiar looking…


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pHFwJt1AFNuYP_Ig6U6nE5fiZ2mK37VYAi6qUU2dIko8xqAe 0flY78wNhR9GrOrMbW0GTbqImCMPldPzgPpZ_0w/27.png


Should I Install Windows 7?
If you don't mind the fact that it will stop working on August 1st, Windows 7 beta 1 is very stable and usable.
Do I Need a License?
Windows 7 works just like Windows Vista did… you can install it and run it in "Trial mode" for 30 days. Yes, this does mean that you can borrow the disc from a friend, or download it "illegally" and use it, at least for a trial period. (I'm not advocating piracy here).
It's Only a Download?
That's right, you will need to download the ISO image file and then burn it to a DVD in order to do an installation… I recommend ImgBurn (http://www.imgburn.com/index.php?act=download).
What About Drivers?
Windows 7 uses the exact same drivers as Windows Vista, and by this point the majority of devices have drivers. You most likely won't even need to install drivers, since Windows 7 has a lot more drivers included by default.
Important Installation Notes
When you get to the screen which recommends upgrading vs custom installation, I would recommend installing a new installation into a completely blank partition. If you want to test it on the same machine as Vista, you should dual-boot. I would recommend against using the upgrade feature unless you are very brave (also note that it only supports upgrading from Vista SP1)
If you don't have a second hard drive or partition already, you can use the Shrink Volume feature in Vista to resize your current partition (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/resize-a-partition-for-free-in-windows-vista/). If that doesn't work, you can work around Vista's shrink volume problems (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/working-around-windows-vistas-shrink-volume-inadequacy-problems/) as well. If none of that works, you can use GParted to resize the partition (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/windows-vista/using-gparted-to-resize-your-windows-vista-partition/).


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pVQN4VSMvcqwcZqhmCgaVFK3NQncnuTOa2Fh68ncqEYKq1YM ca1g21lAAchgrXGOoQw5FUzI4uut0NgiiBaJ58g/28.png


Once it installs (which doesn't take that long), you'll be prompted for a computer name and user name:


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1p0-UYYqHm3Mvu2xDJXzQd6NDiT9KKlWfauPL4JShWjaIe7ebZ3bpw-wTOD8v4aVAud1zh5VAK1i2KoSKq0y5qNg/29.png


You'll be prompted for what your default homegroup settings are (personally I'd probably turn most of them off, but I'm security-conscious). Make sure to write down this homegroup password and save it somewhere!


http://rtojcq.blu.livefilestore.com/y1pdNGZNqfLFTb0SFZ7W4WA6GG4EaK82c6VR5XbS94WaFvRJZB _q7Q3od6LXFKkfhtGfvQ7FVsKpc6mSmVKL4c_cQ/30.png


From this point you will be able to get to your desktop, and start actually using Windows 7.
Windows 7 Bug
There is a known bug in Windows 7 that will potentially damage some mp3 files if you load them into Windows Media Player. You'll want to make sure to install this patch, or turn on automatic updates once you have Windows 7 installed… it should update automatically.
For more information and the download links check out this ArsTechnica post (http://arstechnica.com/journals/microsoft.ars/2009/01/09/microsoft-releases-fix-for-windows-7-mp3-corruption-issue).
What Should We Cover?
One of my recent articles asked what exactly we should cover in 2009 (http://www.howtogeek.com/howto/the-geek-blog/ask-the-readers-what-topics-should-we-cover-in-2009/), and Windows 7 is definitely going to be on that list. The question is: What do YOU want to see about Windows 7? What is the most important topic when it comes to learning a new operating system?
