Now if you are like me and have tested Windows 7 to the fullest and do not want to wipe one last time then this is for you. I have used Windows 7 for a Year now and enjoy it very much so but did not want to have to wipe my machine so here is a work around that can help elevate your Windows 7 migration blues

 

The upgrade is possible. You just have to do a bit of mucking around. To perform the upgrade, do the following:

  1. Copy the contents of the ISO or DVD to a separate storage location (such as a bootable USB storage device, a separate partition or whatever)
  2. Open the file \sources\cversion.ini in a text editor and modify the MinClient number to a number lower than the version Windows 7 that you want to upgrade from – so for the beta you would set this to something like 6900.
  3. Save the file and then run the install routine from the location with the modified file

Windows 7 in Japan

I have been beta tested Microsoft Windows 7 since 4xxx release, and now that I am already running the final release code, I have noticed that a lot of Japanese websites still have  issues with Windows 7, Internet Explore 8 and Windows Media Player 12. It could be that Japanese are slow to adapt; working for HP I know this is to be true. Not all Japanese buy the best and the latest. If it works why change it for a new one.  We in the west are use to getting our technology heavily marked down while the Japanese don’t usually. So But once they buy, it is an investment and they don’t buy again until the others break. We in the West are more likely to buy a new one just cause we found one that matches our new mode, or just because the neighbour next door got one.

 

Gyao![ギャオ]and MoraWin [モーラ ウィン]is the main two sites I have been looking forward to seeing working with the new Media Player 12 which looks great it hands down the best media player to date. Also Microsoft should bring back Karaoke their has not been any since media player 9.
