Windows 7 Project

Well things are moving right along, we are wrapping up on the programs that we were able to test and starting to work on our presentation for the CIO of the University as well as many managing parties in ITS. Today I mainly went back through our paperwork to make sure we had all the programs logged and the information in a format that would make it easy for us to put into the presentation. We have a group meeting tomorrow during class to discuss our plans so this will make things a little more efficient.

Windows 7 Project

Today I spent time creating sheets for us to log programs with, this way we have something where each tech can write out what program they are working with, which system they were on and any issues that might have occurred while working with it. After that I spent time working with XP mode in Windows 7, I installed Open Office in it and worked with a lot of the features to see how it would react and to see if it felt like there was any difference using it in the Virtual environment compared to the regular. Honestly I had a hard time noticing any difference what so ever. The only reason I did notice a bit is because we only have 1GB of RAM installed in the system I'm using and of that XP mode has been allocated 256MB so there was a bit of stalls here and there but nothing too bad. All and all it was a good experience.
