I-BLOG

I think it is not of much attention that there are many e-Learning courses available from Juniper FREE of cost. Mostly it is either advised by SE’s or some product road shows. Otherwise, Juniper lacks the publicity that Cisco and MSFT has been carrying over for a long period on eLearning.

So to let people know, Juniper does offer some eLearning programs on Enterprise Routing, Enterprise Switching, Security etc.

Also one of the interesting training would be the Intrusion Prevention training which can be accessed here. [Click]

I just looked at the comments on one of the post on dual-boot on Windows 7 and XP/Vista, it is really funny to see the comments there;

Anybody wishing to try out the beta software should know how that level of things work, well my opinion.

My experience, I got it from my work and have already turned my test machine into a dual boot machine. The install was a breeze and startup/shutdown times are pretty impressive. But I can sense high about the Vista on 7 (though 7 is an improvisation of Vista, expected something different). Haven’t yet put through all the tests that I normally like to do on a OS. But initial impression is full of ‘eye candy’ stuff and some usability enhancements which matter a lot!

Windows 7 Beta 1 will be made available for a limited time during the day on January 9, 2009.

Visit the Windows 7 page on Microsoft’s website for the link.

It will only be made available to the first 2.5 million people to download the code. Demand will be huge, so prepare to act quickly.

Microsoft has not announced a specific time on Friday for the release, but we can expect it will be later in the day so the west coast of North America isn’t left out.

Windows 7 Beta 1 will be offered as an ISO image. It’s around 2.5 or 3 gigabytes, so you will need a DVD burner if you want to install it.

You will be required to register before downloading so Microsoft can give you a product key.

It will be build 7000.

The beta will only support Windows Vista SP1 to Windows 7 upgrades. If you’re not running Vista SP1 right now, upgrade before you try to install the Windows 7 beta.

There is also a clean install option for the Win7 beta.

There is no upgrade path from XP.

There’s only one version of the beta, which Microsoft says "is roughly equivalent the Ultimate edition of Windows Vista."

The Windows 7 Beta will expire on August 1. You will probably be forced to go back to using Vista SP1 on August 1 (or maybe upgrade to Win7 Beta 2?).

English, German, Japanese, Arabic, and Hindi versions will be available Friday.

Both 32-bit and 64-bit versions will be available (except for Hindi, which only gets a 32-bit version).

If you’re upgrading, remember to back up your PC. It’s a beta, stupid!

It is like another Armageddon Microsoft is doing a public release of Windows 7 beta on Friday (9th of January) and seems that it will be available only for a limited period of time.

While it looks like mostly targeted towards US market, if you’re lucky to download the 2.5 Gig of data, then it is worth a try. There are ground rules for this download and usage, read this for further;

I’m a great fan of visual themes, may it be for the computer of the PDA. I keep changing them and like a new look every now and then. One such that caught my eye during my browsing session is ‘Windows 7 theme for Windows XP’ by Vishal Gupta. Below is how my XP on a Thinkpad looks like;

The fonts, sounds, iconized big task bar buttons everything go hand in hand and looks great. Get a taste of it, visit Vishal’s site and try it for yourselves.
