Windows Live Mail beta - Preview

Dear all, Gone are the days where the storage of emails was a problem. Many Free e-mail service providers such as Yahoo (Giving 1 GB of Email space), GMail (>2 GB of Email space) and Hotmail (250 MB of email space) and lot more. Now a days the domain registration cost and web space cost is also plunging down very fastly. People who put their content on the web are rapidly increasing. Yahoo and MSN messengers have a stiff competition in messengers while Google has also joined in. Skype of course has also joined the race providing more voice features (now includes Video in Beta). Microsoft's MSN has been quiet for a while, where yahoo and Gmail are flying in providing email space and services. Its time for Microsoft to Bang in again. The power of microsoft is it can make the product so easy so that it can reach to the end users very fast. Now they have come with new solution called WINDOWS LIVE. go to http://www.live.com/ . Windows will now offer additional e-mail service apart fr

IE 7 Beta 1 - Read before you update

It is long time since Microsoft has given a true update to Internet Explorer. There has been update to Internet Explorer constantly, significantly from version 4 to version 5 then to version 6 and now version 6 sp2. There has been lot of security fixes in these version rather than any UI improvements or rather features improvement. IE 7 has included number of feature improvements, UI improvements and of course improved security etc. UI improvements include tabbed browsing support, in built search bar (just like firefox), RSS support. IE 7 can also be loaded without add-on so that it can run well even if your add-on has been infected. Another feature is that it has Anti Phishing Technology which ensures that the data reaches to the correct destination without being hacked. There are many hick ups when I started using the beta 1 version of Internet explorer. First was it was not compatible with YAHOO MAIL or rather YAHOO MAIL does not support IE 7. So the look and feel goes back like old

Messengers

hi everyone, I hope those people who r familier with Blogging will definitely know about messengers as well and needs no introduction. Messengers are providing great communication. I am going to to about Yahoo and MSN messengers. Both these messengers from the day of introduction has improved a lot in their service. Each one is competing the other in providing better communication. We can always encourage a healthy competetion to make things easier in life. Yahoo is introducing its new Yahoo messenger 7 now currently in Beta Version available for downloads. The new yahoo messenger provides voice calls, Voice messages , Drag and drop facility of files, Photo sharing etc. MSN already has released its MSN messegner 7 which has great features too.. MSN's quality of audio and video is really very good. Yahoo sometimes have some hickups sometimes. Both Yahoo and MSN messengers are quiet analogoues to each other. In yahoo messenger 7 you can see the shared picture as ur buddy icon same as

Desktop Searches

Hi, I hope everybody is familiar on search engines. If we talk about search engines we will remember only internet search engines and of course “Google”. Earlier searching was very slow until Google introduced caching mechanism to cache files and to display them immediately within in very short period of time. It was actually old concept but earlier due to lack of resources it was not very successful. In olden days cost per GB space was very high. But now a days cost per GB (Disk Space) is very low. Thus caching technology has become very popular. Now this has reached even to desktops. First it was “Google” again who introduced desktop search and now is available for download at http://desktop.google.com . It is very impressive and very fast. Following Google Yahoo and Microsoft (MSN) also introduced desktop search engines. Always when it comes to Google and others is the presentation layer. When you take yahoo mail and Google mail and hotmail the presentation layer in Google is not ri
