cross-platformThe problem with the software world today is that they are platform dependant. Not all of them but the majority. Application are being made as windows only or mac only. Linux being open source has a sot of application built for it with source code available. Thus open source application generally are available as source linux binaries and windows binaries . in a sense open source is more cross platform than closed source application a generalisation but the numbers support it.

It’s problem that doesn’t seen to be solvable microsoft will release application programming interfaces to developers but they are obviously not going to release source code. Cross platform applications need to run on a different layer from the os something that is installable on any os something like’s sun’s java. Which runs anywhere and allows . java based applications to be run on any operating system . java has invaded the mobile phone markets as well and anything from games to software applications are now installable on your phone.

Windows and other operating systems

For the end user vista is just a pretty xp and in classic skin mode vista looks even more like its predecessor. This is because the way you use the computer hasn’t changed much there are no radical changes . the same apples to apple’s leopard. There have been a lot more functions added to it a lot more prettiness but nothing radically different . enter winfs.

Wndows future storage was a file system originally slated to be shipped with vista . development schedules for other products pushed winfs into the background. Currently the status of winfs is unknown and despite microsoft already announcing that they’re starting development on the next windows version codenamed Vienna there’s no word on whether winfs will find its way into its way into that. Apparently once bitten twice shy microsoft isn’t making any promises it might not be able to keep for winfs.

Enough of a history lesson it’s time to understand why we’re harping on about winfs what radical changes does it promise?

FAT16,FAT32 and NTFS store all your files as a contiguous and contours stream of bytes . this means an mp3 is stored as a chunk of data on some part of your hard drive. The os is quite dumb to what that mp3 is and basically doesn’t car. All the os needs to knew is that it should use a media player to open files called mp3

Now winfs is less of a file system and more o a relationship builder. It still sits on top of an NTFS file sstem and stores its own data on an NTFS drive but you cease to see your drive as files and folders. Think of how you get online and find information you search right? Why should items on your pc be found in any other manner?

windows-7

The Beta version of Windows 7 has been released and ,reviews and more details are appreciable during this period.This version of the windows happens to be the most complicated or daring release of Microsoft,As because that the Google OS is gonna release within no time.Google is overtaking all the tech stuffs from others,Recently Chrome took away lots of users of Mozilla FireFox,as because of this danger the latest version of windows,Windows 7 should have to meet lots of qualities and features which the Google OS is gonna provide.

The most common opinion is that the windows 7 is much fater than Vista which was much faster than Windows XP,but its a fact that still most of the peoples uses Windows XP.The speed as mentioned is very much common opinion for the OS,the desktop and all are really quick.

What will be the most hardest problem on or after the release of a new OS ,obviously its the support and drivers,still have to wait it for to get on to the momentum.Another problem is the problem owing to the menu system.The menu system of Windows 7 should be said as “BAD” and it is very difficult to get  the clarity of Task Bar and all.Some problems are also hearing about the Internet Usage in Windows 7,it is heard about the peroblems such as the crash of Internet Explorer and all.

Anyways more graphics and 3d factors are available,the saving factors are that Softwares which work in Vista must work in Windows 7 also.Anyways lets hope for a better version as soon as possible ,and all the best for the Windows 7.
