Windows 7, which isn’t due to launch until January 2010, has been given a thorough testing by millions of people worldwide, since the beta version was available to download during CES in January of this year. Since then, over 250,000 people have been surveyed, 16,000 people have been interviewed, and over 200TB of data has been sent to Microsoft from the millions of testers – 400,000 from the UK.

Specific issues which were addressed by the testers during their beta experiences included performance, boot times and ease of use, all of which Microsoft claims were taken onboard and improved. The RC1 release, available today for developers and on the 5th of May for consumers, will show a few minor tweaks to the performance, with a Microsoft respresentative telling us “it just works better”.

The RC1 version of Windows 7 won’t expire until the 1st of June, 2010 – effectively giving the users over a year’s free Windows 7 experience, which is not far off the final version, due out next January.

In addition to running faster and being more intuitive to users’ needs, it will have multi-touch support, perfect for those who have splurged on a HP TouchSmart PC, believed to be Microsoft’s preferred Windows 7 hardware partner.

Over 10,000 hardware manufacturers with 2.8 million devices in total have been Windows 7-approved, including HP, Logitech, NViDIA and Sony. Xavier Lauwaert, Product Manager for VAIO Product Marketing at Sony, commented “we have been working closely with Microsoft during the development of Windows 7, and we are designing new solutions to take advantage of the latest features and innovations in an effort to provide our customers the best experience possible.”

Internet Explorer 8 provides improved navigation through tabbed browsing, web search right from the toolbar, advanced printing, easy discovery, reading and subscription to RSS feeds, and much more.
IE8 can be freely downloaded in 25 languages from Microsoft’s website, the company said.

Internet Explorer has partnered with a carbon reduction reminder service to help increase awareness around one of Earth’s most precious resources. Browse three endangered forests and plant your own virtual tree while learning how to become a better steward of the environment, the company said.

With the new web browser user would be able to view multiple sites in a single browser window. One can easily switch from one site to another through tabs at the top of the browser frame. At the same time it would be easy to select and navigate through open tabs by displaying thumbnails of them all in a single window.

The company said in a release that the tabs can be grouped and saved into logical categories, so you can open multiple tabs with a single click. A Tab Group can easily be set as the Home Page Group so the entire Tab Group opens every time Internet Explorer is launched.

Not only this, a redesigned, streamlined interface maximizes the area of the screen that displays a webpage, so you see more of what you need, and less of what you don’t.

Internet Explorer 8 automatically scales a webpage for printing, so the entire webpage fits on your printed page. Print options also include adjustable margins, customizable page layouts, removable headers and footers, and an option to print only selected text.

Web searches using your favorite search provider can now be entered into a search box within the toolbar, eliminating the clutter of separate toolbars. You can easily choose a provider from the dropdown list or add more providers.

Microsoft’s market share dropped to about 67 percent last month as compared to over 90 percent three years ago. Microsoft, whose share in the browser market took a beating with the emergence of rivals like Mozilla’s Firefox, Google’s Chrome and Apple’s Safari, is aiming to regain its lost ground with the new browser.

Before this IE, being bundled as the default browser of the Windows Operating system, has helped the company achieve the strong market share it now enjoys.

Street View has also suffered intense criticism from privacy campaigners since it launched in the US two years ago. An American couple even went as far as to sue Google over invasion of privacy. Though, the couple lost the case.

According to the reports published at Guardian.co.uk, the company has spent almost a year collecting images, with a fleet of specially modified cars crawling along thousands of miles of British roads.
Street View launched in the US in May 2007 and is already available in Japan, Australia, New Zealand, France, Spain and Italy.

Hidden within the Street View imagery in the UK will be well-known children’s story book character ‘Wally’ wearing his trademark blue trousers, red and white striped hat and jumper and walking stick.
In the mean time, the company’s biggest challenge has been the British weather, with the cars’ cameras rendered useless by rain and snow. In the mean time British newspaper The Daily Mail has been particularly vociferous in its attack on Google, branding it a “burglar’s charter”.

London, Edinburgh, Leeds, Bradford, Cambridge, Cardiff, Belfast, Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Oxford, Sheffield, Nottingham, Derby, Bristol, Coventry, Glasgow, Aberdeen, Swansea, York, Newcastle, Dundee, Southampton, Norwich and Scunthorpe will be covered by the street view.

Mozilla’s previously mentioned decision to release a fourth beta of the browser — scheduled for April 14 — will also see Firefox 3.1 renamed to Firefox 3.5. The name change, according to Mozilla, is meant to reflect how much has changed about the browser since the original, 10-month-old Firefox 3.0.

Firefox 3.1 was originally scheduled for release in December 2008. The third beta version of Firefox 3.1 is arriving just one week before the scheduled final release of Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 8. Firefox 3.0.7 fixes several issues found in Firefox 3.0.6 and several stability issues too.
