For my work I'm using a laptop that has several operating systems installed. Depending on the customer related work, e.g. office work, giving presentations and developing software, I'm booting one of these environments. My multi-boot installation consists of several environments including: Windows...

Well, I've used up all my sick days so tomorrow I'm calling in dead. In the meantime, I thought of posting a review on a couple of things I have learned over the past few months. The first thing I will work on is code to deal with Jump Lists. My first post on the subject was after my first attempt...

My favorite feature in Windows 7 is the built-in partition manager! Often I copy VHD files from colleagues and use those as a starting point for my own development. Sometimes I run into the issue that I want to install additional software on the image but there is no more space available on the image...

After 6 months of waiting, last week I received my Windows 7 Ultimate Commemorative Edition. This edition is an special edition awarded to beta testers for their positive feedback. I am really thankful to Microsoft for considering my feedback valuable. I was accepted into the Windows 7 Beta Program since...

I’m a firm believer in the mantra “When all else fails, read the instructions.” For most items, I just get stuck into what I need to do and figure out the details on the way. This is what I did when I started using VS2010 beta 2. I have never used a beta 1 product before, and I’m usually hesitant...

I wrote some software some time ago that is used by a mining company for maintaining their stores, HR, and monitoring production. I have been discussing with the MD about ways to give him reports in a centralised manner. Earlier, I had written a reporting app which can be plugged into the main app for...

Hi, this post is just to share the sample application that was showcased on the session "How To Develop .NET Applications that take advantage the new features of Windows 7". The session was hosted by Daniel Montero and me at TechDays 2009 Chile. As a side note the focus of the application was...

I’ve been using Windows 7 Enterprise (RTM) for about a week now, and I must say, I really see the benefits of working with it. Although you might consider it “Windows Vista +”, I’m sure that there’s still plenty of new features I haven’t noticed yet. But for the end user (like me) there are a couple...

It's months ago since I wrote my last blog post. It was about the things I did like about Windows 7. Now that the RTM is released for Technet and MSDN subscribers, I replaced the RC that I was running with this RTM, UIltimate edition. There are some more interesting changes I found which probably...

I have a laptop that I use for my day to day work. It is a laptop equipped for running multiple virtual images at the same time. My operating system has been Windows Vista Business 64-bit for the last 1,5 years. At the beginning I was enthusiastic about Vista and it’s user interface. But after...

My midi hardware it working nice in my DAW home studio but today I noticed that I do not have the ability to change the default midi out device in Windows 7. After googling around it seems that this was also the case in Windows Vista. But luckily there are options to configure the default out device...

Sometimes it’s attention to detail that excites me the most. I just noticed the beautiful rendering of PNGs with transparency in the Pictures Library view in Explorer in Windows 7 ( RC build ): You can get this view by selecting Arrange by Month in the upper right-hand corner of the Pictures library...

Since last week I am using Windows 7 as my primary operating system, specifically it is Windows 7 RC 64-bit edition build 7100. Yesterday I installed Windows Virtual PC beta so I can continue to use virtual machines. I use virtual machines for different usage scenario’s, mostly for SharePoint and Microsoft...

I am currently using the beta of Windows 7 and I must say I like it a lot. Here's a short list of things I "discovered". I must add that I use it in a VMware environment, I don't like the idea of a beta OS installed as main OS on my workstation. Progress bars are now visualized within...
