Team Nirvana has downloaded and installed Windows Seven RTM 7000.0.081212-1400_client_en-us_Ultimate from a torrent site for the sake of testing and sharing it to our readers and we have succeeded to the extent of sharing the knowledge over how to download and install Windows Seven 7 in some simple steps.

So, now getting hands dirty!!

How hard is it to install Windows 7 as a dual boot? At present, you might be using Windows XP or Windows Vista on your machines, most probably and you are planning to taste the flavor of Windows Seven. Surely you can do that.

Check my system’s properties to have an idea of the configuration that I have. This screen shot would be of Windows XP.

Well, this might not be the best configuration, but surely Windows Seven installed without any glitch and I worked pretty effortlessly in it. More screen shots coming up below. The features provided with Windows 7 by Microsoft are mentioned in their extremely lengthy Privacy Statement Supplement.

So lemme summarize over what you need to download and install Windows Seven on your machine. Lets discuss this in point, so that you can remember it well.

1. First and Foremost, you need Windows Seven to be downloaded. You can read more on how to download and where you can find Windows Seven here.

2. Alternately, you can download Windows Seven Torrent and open it using your favorite torrent software like uTorrent or FlashGet. It’s a 2.43 GB ready-to-be-installed ISO file. So you may need to spend sometime based on your internet speed.

3. OK, so now you have the file. What next?? You need to download one more file if You wish to install Windows Seven OS without the need to write the ISO file on a DVD and perform a normal installation.

You need to download DAEMON Tools a 10MB file in order to not waste a DVD over this until-July valid installation.

4. So, now you have Windows Seven ISO and DAEMON Tools application. Now, we are ready to install the OS as a dual booting installation.

5. You need an empty drive with at least 5 GB 9 GB to install Windows Seven effortlessly. So, create an empty drive and label it appropriately so that you can remember which drive is that at the time of the installation.

6. So, install the DAEMON tool now and you can see it in the System Tray like this.

It’s the one on the First Line First Item. Looks like a bolt of light from Heaven, doesn’t it?

7. Now, right click on it and choose Virtual CD/DVD-ROM to enter into multitude of options to load the Windows Seven ISO file that you have downloaded. Choose the file wherever it is and the DAEMON tools application launches the installation file which asks you to Install Windows Seven on your machine.

8. Click on the install button and the setup starts and asks you the following screens under which I have mentioned what to do. Follow these steps if you wish to install Windows Seven on an empty drive and place it in the dual boot so that you can choose to enter your previous installation of Windows XP or Windows Vista and Windows Seven.

9. Here goes the first boring screen which states by itself what it’s doing. Based on your PC speed you may see it for longer time.

10.You can click on the image below to view what it says. But, I would advice you to choose the Second option which says “Do not get latest updates for Installation”.

11. And here comes the obvious part, the Disclaimer and Privacy Statement yada-yada.

12. Now, choose which kind of installation you need. Team Nirvana would advice you to choose the Custom(advanced) option as we are installing the OS on an empty drive to enable the dual boot. No use upgrading your existing Operating System over this beta version of Windows Seven.

13. Now, where do you want to install Windows Seven? If you remember, we have labeled the 5 GB drive, haven’t we?

14. The Setup starts and the Copying Files starts with a pace.

15. The setup continues as the regular Windows XP and Windows Vista does pleasantly. At last you would get a notification that Installation has completed and your Video Performance would be monitored to check for the optimal performance and at last, you would get this.

No, Firefox would not arrive as default with Windows Seven. Team Nirvana uses and advices you to use Mozilla FireFox as your default browser.

16. Now, lets check the resource Monitor feature in Windows Seven. It’s nothing but a fancy name for Task Manager.

What a fancy screen, isnt it? These features could have been included in Windows XP itself. But, Microsoft saved it for future versions like Windows Seven.

17. Now to the System’s Properties.

18. There are multitude of features which you would think are cool to look at, but performance wise, they do not add much to the user’s browsing experience. One such feature is this.

Ok, now you might have got the knowledge over how to install and test Windows Seven Operating System on your machine.

Do let us know if You had any doubts and if you face some problems with the installation. We do not state that we are experts in the field, but we can troubleshoot and increase our knowledge base too.

Strange Ritual-3 Month Baby dipped in Hot Water in India

The strange customs and rituals do follow the mankind no matter how educated and how advanced the civilization becomes. Even though they are discriminated to the content of what is required, the governments though supposedly think of educating people in such a way that people do not consider even to think of the strange rituals and customs which have crept into the human lives from hundreds of years and try to eradicate them, it is not happening as per the plan.

baby-in-hot-water

In a mysterious ritual followed in Jumalapur village in Bijapur district, a couple dipped their 3 month old infant into boiling hot water and lifted it out during the festival of Balabhim near Talikot town on Friday.

The couple, Prabhavati and Sanganagouda got married a few years, but were without children. Disappointed, the couple prayed their wish to be fulfilled. Their priest speaking on behalf of the Almighty provided a boon to these couple and in return asked them to perform this strange ritual and they did.

The first baby born in the due course died early because of some ailments and unknown whether this is a challenge to the science, the baby dipped in the hot water is safe and healthy even after this bizarre experience.

So, what would happen to the baby of 3 months age if dipped in boiling water?

The possible outcomes are:

Skin burns; after six hours, pleps form on the skin
Pleps are defined as boils where water collects under the skin and internal organs could get damaged.
In second-degree burns, internal fluid imbalance takes place
Kidney and cardiac failure soon follows.

When would people do learn to stay away from the not-cock-sure rituals and customs that do not cost their lives, but others?

Lawsuit Filed Against Microsoft, Apple and Google over Thumbnail Patent Rights

Dec 27th, 2008

This must be the biggest event in the decade or should we say Century?

Microsoft, Google and Apple and all the other major software providers and creators have been charged with violating the US patent number: 7,346,850(System and method for iconic software environment management). This accusation had been made by one Cygnus System which claims that it had developed the thumbnail feature in the start but all the major software vendors have started violating the patent which describes in detail that :

This is a method and system used to store, navigate and access files within an operating system through the use of a graphical thumbnail representing the video display of the the current document within the active application.

This lawsuit is the biggest blow in the software world as most of the applications currently do support this feature and blowing the trumpet at this time means the avoidance of thumbnail feature in the Windows Explorer, Apple’s Cover Flow and Google’s Chrome web browser, which is similar to the kinds of Safari.

Cygnus lawsuit particularly mentions the use of the iPhone’s file previews, and Safari’s browser thumbnails. Cygnus is gonna be rich if the court agrees that surely this is a defamation case.

Interesting news is that the original patent was filed in the year 1998, expanded upon in 2001, and finally granted in 2008. So, does anyone know what took it so long to be accepted? Might be waiting for the boom time.

Microsoft Applications on Apple iPhone-Boon or Bane?

What happened to the Apple team anyway?

Earlier they used to bombard the Windows OS, used to ridicule the Microsoft Applications and now, they are agreeing to windows applications to access the iPhone. Way to go down Apple!!

iphonewindows

So, whats the news anyway? Do we need to get to run MS Office on iPhone?

No way, you would be able to run a miniscule set of applications on iPhone through Windows using Citrix Reciever. Citrix Receiver is a remote screen software that connects to a desktop and provides the users with a false pretention that they are running Microsoft apps along with features like Copy and Paste.

But, Citrix Communities are confirming the end users to throw any application which may appear to be non-chalant with iPhone and they would like to crack it and make it work on the iPhone. So, if you have any applications in mind which run well enough(duh!) on Windows Platform and which you suppose would not breathe the air on an iPhone.
