Internet Explorer 9 provides the best web experience for Windows. Here are the top reasons why you should get it today.

1. It’s all-around fast — hardware-accelerated text, video, and graphics speed up performance and make websites perform like programs that are installed on your computer.
2. Streamlined and simplified design — gives you the basic controls you need and puts the focus on your websites.
3. One-click access to your favorite sites — with Pinned Sites, you can get to your favorite sites directly from the Windows taskbar without having to open your browser first.
4. A combined search and Address bar — one place to either navigate to a website or start a search.
5. Redesigned New Tab page — now you have quick access to the sites you visit most often, and you can also reopen closed tabs or your last browsing session, or start an InPrivate Browsing session.
6. Integration with Windows 7 — with Snap, Pinned Sites, Jump Lists, and thumbnail preview controls, Internet Explorer 9 and Windows 7 bring you the best web experience for Windows.
7. Improved add-on management — Add-on Performance Advisor tells you if an add-on is slowing down your browser and allows you to disable or remove it, helping ensure that your browser stays fast over time.
8. Helps control your privacy — Tracking Protection enables you to limit the browser’s communication with certain websites to help keep your information private.
9. Keeps your downloads in order — Download Manager keeps a running list of the files you download from the Internet, notifies you if a file could be malicious, and allows you to pause and restart a download.

Microsoft has released the final build (4763.1000) of Office 2010 to MSDN and TechNet subscribers today.

Microsoft said on Friday that its new Office suite, due in May for businesses and June for consumers, had reached the released to manufacturing (RTM) milestone. The build leaked shortly after the official RTM announcement last Friday. Volume License customers with Software Assurance will be able to download the RTM bits on April 27.

Microsoft has been criticized for complicating things by having XP Mode only work on processors that supported either Intel’s VT or AMD’s AMD-V. This requirement was troublesome and confusing, as many Intel owners weren’t sure if their CPU supported hardware virtualization, and if it did, whether it was turned on in the BIOS. Now that problem has been eliminated, removing a barrier to the adoption of Windows 7 among small and mid-size businesses that still cling to Windows XP.

Update for Windows 7 (KB977206) – Install this update to remove the prerequisites required to run Windows Virtual PC and XP mode. The prerequisites include a processor which supports hardware assisted virtualization (HAV) which is also enabled in the BIOS. After you install this item, you may have to restart your computer.

Finally made the step from Borland Delphi 7 to Embarcadero Delphi 2010!

Embarcadero RAD Studio 2010 – Embarcadero® RAD Studio 2010 is the industry’s most powerful rapid application development suite for visually building GUI-intensive, data-driven end-user applications for both native Windows® and .NET. RAD Studio includes Delphi®, C++Builder® and Delphi Prism™, enabling you to deliver applications up to 5x faster across multiple Windows and database platforms.

Delphi – Delphi® is one of the most respected and widely used Rapid Application Development (RAD) environments today. Over 1.7 million developers worldwide choose Delphi over other tools because Delphi radically speeds desktop, workstation, touch, kiosk, and Web application development without sacrificing an ounce of programming power or control. Applications built with Delphi are lightning fast, compact, provide rich UIs, and can connect with virtually any database or data source “out-of-the-box”.

C++Builder – C++Builder® is an award-winning C++ development environment for building interactive, UI-oriented desktop, workstation, touch-screen, kiosk, and Web applications. Millions of developers worldwide choose C++Builder over other C++ development tools because it provides them with the world’s only true two-way visual RAD C++ development environment with outstanding features for quickly building rich UI and database applications.

Windows 7 has several built-in tools to help with application compatibility and Windows XP applications should be installed directly on Windows 7. Windows XP Mode runs some older productivity applications that may not run otherwise on Windows 7.
