Microsoft spoiled students of Ain Shams University
"Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach him how to fish and you feed him for a lifetime." A wise man said. Microsoft Egypt launched a camp that will last to 17th of November (today) at faculty of engineering campus. They will give the students free versions of windows 7 which is sin number 1, according to FSF. That’s what I call it domination because they don’t teach our students Computer Science there, however they teach those Microsoft products only. I remember that one day I asked one of CS students what is meant by linking phase in C++ he answered “it’s something related to visual studio IDE” funny right (simply, linking is an important phase to finish the production of software). See how the students became after “Microsoft Domination” of the first two day:
that one of the pirates who’s very happy after getting his own copy of windows legally.
My friends under Microsoft’s sky
I love Microsoft ooh I think I’m……….

New Cool Features in Windows 7
Shaking windows away
Are you a computer nerd who opens more than two or three windows? Want an easy way to minimize all of them except the one you focus? In windows 7, (just say shake away - joke -; ) you just need to make focus on the window you want by left click the top of the window and shake it. You will see the other windows get minimized. As following:
Windows Disc Image Burner (.ISO burner)
No need for third party software. This cool utility from windows 7 provides you a real easy way to burn .ISO (virtual CDs/DVDs) file format. It is very simple that to anyone burn with just few clicks.
