Windows 7 Launch In Malaysia

I attended the official launching of Windows 7 exactly a week ago, thanks to Shaz for the opportunity. I represented him, because he had to attend a course. It was a grand opening held in Plaza Low Yat, where representatives from Microsoft, Low Yat, NCMB (National Council for the Blind, Malaysia) and their collaborating partners, Intel, Acer, Dell, HP, AMD and so on. All of them had great vision of what's to come of Windows 7. Without further or delay, let me show you how the event went.

But first of all, allow me to briefly talk about Windows 7


The display products (front to back)
Windows 7 Ultimate
Windows 7 Home Premium
Windows Professional

What are the great features of Window 7?
  • Jump list
  • Aero Shake and Aero Peek
  • Snap
  • Longer Battery Life
  • Faster Start Up and Shut Down
  • Windows Taskbar Preview
  • Personalise Your Desktop
Minimum requirements for Windows 7?
  • 1GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) ot 64-bit (x64) processor
  • 1GB RAM (32-bit) or 2GB RAM (64-bit)
  • 16GB available HDD space (32-bit) or 20GB (64-bit)
  • DirectX 9 graphic device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver

I was there early, I saw lotsa people in '7'

because they needed to be briefed.


The entrance of the event, if you were there...
It'd be impossible to miss it!


[left] Around the corner, there was a demonstration of the latest graphic card
released by AMD, the ATi Radeon 5000 series... with the capability
to produce superb gaming view and feel, and the ability to support up to 6 monitors, only with the help of Windows 7
(other operating system have not been designed to do so, yet)

[right] There was a live twitter update shown on the display screen of
a 42" LCD monitor throughout the event...


As media, we had to sign up and register...
We will get something special for that... =)


Let's take a look at the schedule, shall we?


I was given this, Cool!


These are some of the representatives at the front row


Then it was time for Moses to kick off the events
with an introduction of the Windows 7...


Here's Ms. Yasmin Mahmood (left) and Mr. Yasir Yousuff (right)
doing their speech and a quick & easy demo to the crowd...


A short demo was shown on screen... Looks really cool on that!

[right] That is a application supposedly to be pre-installed along
with Windows 7, called Virtual Earth - giving you a 3D view of a location
COOL!


The crowd was definitely pleased with the presentation
...
