In typical Reddit fashion, earlier today on a thread about Windows 7′s Aero Shake feature and its inventor suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Ex-Microsoft employee nicknamed “cookingrobot” proudly showed off a photo of his patent cube as proof and accepted questions from the community.

Windows 7 Ultimate, Professional, and Home Premium – The Hidden and the Obvious Difference
What is the big deal in having one version of windows 7 over the others? Which version do you even need? On the other hand, which one is best for you?
In this article, my aim is to show you the hidden and the obvious difference among the three versions of the windows 7, which includes the followings: Windows 7 Home Premium, Windows 7 Professional, and Windows 7 Ultimate.
First, I will like to start with the obvious before the hidden. The most obvious is the color of the packaging (The Home Premium is orange, the Professional is green, and the Ultimate is black) and the price. The Ultimate version is the most expensive among the three, followed by the professional then the Home Premium.
The Ultimate is the most versatile and powerful of Windows 7. It combines remarkable ease of use with the entertainment features of the Home Premium and the business capabilities of professional, including the ability to run XP productivity program in Windows XP Mode. For added security, you can encrypt your data with BitLocker. And for extra flexibility you can work in any of the 35 languages.
Letâs now talk about the functionalities of the Window 7 and which version can perform such functions.
The Windows 7 make the things you do every day easier with improved desktop navigation which helps you to open files you use regularly in just two clicks. Navigations like- Snap, which allows you to arrange two widows side-by-side by just dragging them opposite sides of your screen. The Aero Peek, which lets you peek behind open windows to get a quick look at your desktop. And finally the Windows Search, which allows you to open virtually any file on your PC, from documents, to e-mails, songs, right from the start menu. These functions are contained in all the three versions of the Windows 7.
Now the next function is⦠it makes your web experience faster, easier, and safer than ever with Internet Explorer 8. All the three versions also can handle that.
Watch many of your favorite TV shows free when and where you want with Internet TV. You can even pause, rewind, and record TV programs. This feature can be obtained in all three versions too.
Another features the three share together in common is the ability to create a home network and connect your PCs to a printer with HomeGroup.
Now that is where the three share common functionalities and the difference start to come in.
The ability to run many Windows XP productivity applications in Windows XP mode stops in Windows 7 Professional and Ultimate.
Connecting to company networks is made easy and more securely with Domain Join, and that ends on the Professional and the Ultimate.
Easy data recovery with automatic backup to your home or business network can only be found on professional and Ultimate also.
Now, what they donât share in common are the followings:
The ability to protect your data on your PC and Portable storage devices against loss or theft with BitLocker.
Work in the language of your choice or switch between any of the 35 languages.
These last two functions can only be found in Window 7 Ultimate.
Now letâs talk about the hidden difference⦠obviously there is no other obvious hidden difference as all the vital functionalities have been explored. The only thing that I will like to add is that, if you do not intend to encrypt your hard drive now or in the future and work with multiple languages that can only be found in Windows 7 Ultimate, then I will advise you to stick to Windows 7 Professional, which has all the media capability of Windows 7 Home Premium and the business functions of Windows 7 Ultimate.

Behind the scenes of Mango: tidbits from Brandon Watson’s Channel9 videos
To coincide with the Mango press event several days ago, Channel9 posted three videos in which Brandon Watson interviewed members of the Windows Phone 7 development team regarding Mango-specific features. Whilst one might usually be skeptical about Microsofties interviewing each other, the videos were surprisingly insightful and full of interesting tidbits. Here’s a few highlights I noted from the videos: Developers can almost do with live tiles everything Microsoft could do

Windows Phone 7 Mango features revamped SIP for Japanese; new emoticons and all
At MIX11, Microsoft announced as part of the forthcoming Windows Phone Mango update, support for several new East Asian languages will be added. It’s now revealed just how much the Windows Phone team has gone out of their way to optimize the soft input panel (SIP) experience for the languages. For example, Japanese, one of the hardest languages to type with a keyboard (real or virtual) will feature a completely customized version of the touch keyboard with a drastically different layout and auto-completion interface.

Microsoft Releases Internet Explorer 9 Release Candidate – Graphics Smoking Fast

Microsoft Releases Internet Explorer 9 Release Candidate – Graphics Smoking Fast
Atlanta, GA (Vocus/PRWEB) February 13, 2011
Microsoft has announced the availability of the Release Candidate of Internet Explorer 9.
The release candidate, known as IE9 RC, is available at http://www.BeautyOfTheWeb.com in 40 languages, said Dean Hachamovitch, corporate vice president for Internet Explorer at Microsoft, in a Feb. 10 blog post. Hachamovitch said with IE9 RC, Microsoft has incorporated more than 17,000 pieces of feedback about IE9 and has moved the browser forward in terms of performance and standards, user experience, and safety and privacy.
Microsoft culled insights from more than 25 million beta testers to update the IE9 technology, including making the browser’s “Chakra” JavaScript engine at least 30 percent faster than it was in the beta version.
Hachamovitch said, “The IE9 RC is faster with real world sites. In addition to making the script engine faster, we’ve improved and tuned the rest of the browser as well. You’ll find that Gmail, Office Web Applications, and many other sites are faster as a result of scenario tuning, network cache tuning, and new compiler optimizations. You’ll also find that the RC of IE9 often uses megabytes less memory than the beta because of changes like delayed image decoding. We’ve also improved the performance of things many people do every day, like find on page, and made improvements which extend battery life.”
“The graphics engine is smoking fast. That means we can do really cool things,” said Grant Skinner, chief architect and CEO at gskinner.com.
Moreover, Hachamovitch added:
“IE9 RC supports additional emerging Web standards including CSS3 2D Transforms, HTML5 Geolocation and a set of HTML5 semantic elements. We’ve added support for the HTML5 canvas globalCompositeOperation property and improved the performance of canvas’s CanvasPixelArray. We’ve updated IE9 RC to reflect changes to the DOM events and added accessibility to the HTML5 audio and video controls. These additions reflect our pattern of implementing site ready HTML5 while ensuring developers can experiment with new and emerging specifications through our HTML5 Labs. As these specifications become stable, you can expect we will implement them in IE as we have throughout the development of IE9.”
“It really has HTML5 as its foundation,” said Rick Barazza, principal experience architect at Cynergy. “So it lets us focus on designing and not redesigning again and again.”
In addition, IE9 continues to deliver privacy improvements, Microsoft said. In addition to shipping Tracking Protection with IE9 RC, Microsoft has four Tracking Protection Lists live and available for customers to use. Current Tracking Protection Lists include Abine, TRUSTe, PrivacyChoice and AdBlock Plus.
As for hardware acceleration and interoperability in the latest release, according to the SunSpider benchmark, IE9 RC is 35 percent faster than Internet Explorer 9 Betaâ322 ms in the beta versus 209 ms in RC. Meanwhile, Microsoft continues to implement standards as they become stable and IE9 RC supports Geolocation, playback of H.264-encoded video using the HTML5 video tag and now WebM video as well, when a VP8 code is installed on Windows.
In a tweet about the new IE9 RC, James Alexander, a .NET developer in Detroit, said, “IE9 still doesn’t support text-shadow or background-image linear gradients like [Mozilla] or [WebKit] so all my cool stuff still looks like [junk.]“
Also, with the new IE9 RC, Microsoft has added more than 1,000 new test cases for JavaScript and updated more than 50 test cases based on community feedback. During IE9 development Microsoft submitted around 4,000 test cases in total for standards like HTML5, CSS, SVG and others, Hachamovitch said.
Hachamovitch also said:
“Based on your feedback, we also made it much easier to refine search queries in the One Box. Based on your feedback, IE9′s download manager will now display the download speed, and download notifications are animated and more noticeable. Based on your feedback, pinned sites now support multiple home pages â ‘redefining awesome’ according to this comment. With Paste & Navigate (Control-Shift-L), hardcore enthusiasts can save a step pasting into the address bar. We’ve reduced the number of pixels in the frame, and updated the visuals, making the active tab easier to identify, and made it easier to close inactive tabs.”
Other developers also weighed in on the IE9 RC. “With IE9 the browser gets out of the way,” said Danny Riddel CEO of Archetype.
“I think that they’ve done a really fantastic job of removing the things you don’t need and it lets you focus on the content, which is the reason we’re on the Web anyway,” said Robbie Ingebretsen, a principal at Pixel Lab.
