This is the first in a series of weekly articles that explain how to test, in a virtual machine, all Windows operating systems, from 1 .0 to Windows Vista.
was 20 November 1985 when Microsoft released the first operating environment that you could really call Windows. Since 2001 he is no longer supported on the computer, and who today, in 2011, it is curious to try once again a system of "Windows 25 is? Well, today is your lucky day because we will tell you how to virtualize Windows 1.0 directly to your computer using the free Virtualbox .

Well, today is your lucky day because we will tell you how to virtualize Windows 1.0 directly to your computer using the free Virtualbox .
First, download the floppy image of Windows 1.0 and Virtualbox (the link at the bottom of the article). Install the program and follow the steps below.
From the home of New Virtualbox click the top left corner and then on Next .
Enter the name of the virtual machine (in our case is good Windows 1.0), such as Microsoft Windows operating system put Other Windows version and how .
In base memory (RAM) just a few megs. We have left the default memory.
the next screen, leave setting Create a new hard drive and click Next .
The storage type of disk you can choose what to put, if you set Storage will dynamically expanding the computer to occupy the space it needs the system OS to run up to the size you set in the next step.
Here you have to set the maximum space that will occupy the new hard drive (if you set up the first storage dynamically expanding) or what should be (if you set a fixed size storage). 5 MB may be enough.
When you are finished creating the virtual disk, go back to the main screen, select your new car and go to Settings .
Move immediately Storage tab and click Add floppy controller from the drop down icon at the bottom of the third, as in the image.
From the finest that appears click on the disk Choose .
Then add the image of the floppy Windows_1.0.IMA .
Well, now you can finally start the car and enjoy your Windows 1.0!
interface is very simple It is also very easy to use, but for beginners also describe what are the files that can be performed between those that are in the main window:
- abc.txt is a file sample text already in the system
- CALC.EXE is the legendary Windows Calculator 1.0
- CALENDAR.EXE is a simple calendar that you can mark appointments
- CARDFILE.EXE serves to create tickets electronic business
- Clipbrd.exe a post-it
- Clock.exe is a clock in full screen
- control.exe you can set the date, time and functionality of the mouse
- DOTHIS.TXT is another sample text file
- MSDOS.EXE MSDOSD.EXE and open a ' other main window
- NOTEPAD.EXE is our Notebook
- PAINT.EXE the famous drawing program
- PRATICE.DOC and README.DOC are examples of files can be opened with Write
- REVERSI.EXE is a game
- SPOOLER.EXE control removable devices (printers, etc.).
- TERMINAL.EXE is the terminal
- Write.exe is the current WordPad
Phone Windows 7 was definitely one of the most discussed issues during the past year in the mobile industry. The Microsoft operating system was announced at the Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona in February, and after making headlines for months, made his official debut last October. The new OS of Redmond was selected as a first step to equip terminals brands such as LG, Samsung, HTC and Dell, and then, as now known, from Nokia, which has placed its focus on this baby operating system, deciding to entrust to it the task to revive the fortunes of their devices at the top of gamma.Il handover between Windows Mobile and Windows 7 Phone has literally marked the 'beginning of a new era with regard to the concept of system mobile operating for the U.S. company. The radical changes introduced by the Redmond company against the philosophy underlying the system are operating under the 'eye of the public from the very first moment you hold a terminal WP7 and form in comparison with the past, the yardstick.
Discontinuity with the past, so evident from the outset, it should be the intent of Microsoft, the strength of the new OS. After an initial contact with the operating system, described in the review of Optimus Lg 7 a few months ago, we had a chance to try for a few weeks two of the terminals marked HTC bringing a dowry of its mobile operating system of Microsft. The solutions in question are known as HTC HD HTC Mozart and 7 and below we offer our thoughts after the test period.
Regarding Mozart instead, the frame blends smoothly with the rest of the body and covers: the button on the right side of the camera , on the left of the volume rocker and the micro-usb plug in part above the power button and the 3.5 mm jack and, finally, the lower the microphone. Finally, by analyzing the back of the two terminals are for both the sensor housing of the camera with flash and alongside it the loudspeaker system.
particular, HD7, the possibility of raising the flap surrounding the camera and that support allows you to place the terminal on a plane in landscape mode. Always in the back of the two solutions can be found in the doors through which we can access the power sector. If HD7 and the achievement of the battery compartment for the sim is not particularly difficult, reaching the same with Mozart could create a few problems to less experienced. To access the inside of the shell is in fact necessary to scroll down the portion of the cover of slightly darker color on which stands the brand Phone Windows 7, as shown in sample images that we propose below.

At first glance we can still say that both solutions return of good feelings, both for design, plain and simple for HD7 and slightly whimsical but not too much to Mozart, and for the soundness of joints and the good quality of construction materials. Specifications |
Both HD7 Mozart are immediately responsive and very very accurate, also on the operating system and specifications imposed by Microsoft, designed to make sure that the terminals do not suffer from various bottlenecks. The multitasking, present only in some applications, at times when it is called in the game responds smoothly and without any hesitation.

keyboard, which can return a positive feedback more or less depending on several factors. In this case, given also the different dimensions of the display, it is good to distinguish the two solutions, however, have the same type of device input, or a full-touch keyboard usable in portrait or landscape mode.

proceeds to the aspect of connectivity on the assumption that both terminals offer support to all types of common connection. From Wi-Fi to the 3G network in the mobile navigation, the experience that comes from the exploitation of web resources is certainly very good level. Excluding the case of navigation Wi-Fi, which does not generally cause problems with your connection speed, we can say that, with regard to the phone's data connection, under good reception, we never had trouble loading web content, rather In some cases we were surprised by the speed with which the device could reprocess the information download. Unfortunately lacks support for Wi-Fi hidden that can not be identified and used. Hub that the Maps application now offers the possibility to exploit this specifies that generally responds correctly. The biggest problems have been found in places where even the receiving antenna of the phone had trouble maintaining a signal, then assume the low accuracy of the GPS module was due, in those moments, the difficulty of receiving information from satellites. Nothing to say, however, about the telephone industry. There seemed, in fact, very good level of all components that are part of it, starting from the speaker that gives a stamp faithful to reality, as well as the microphone, just as efficient and the proximity sensor that always responds promptly when when the terminal is removed from the ear of the user. , in both cases accompanied by xenon flash. HD7 was chosen for a 5 megapixel sensor, while in the case of Mozart HTC has decided to equip the terminal with an 8-megapixel sensor. The quality of photos taken with both devices is now quite different, especially in this field, Mozart seems to have the better of the partner and competitor. |
From this review we introduce a new text which will then be implemented in any other article that will follow. Yes This analysis of the display specification that is gaining more and more value in this period. Coming soon on our website will also publish a comparative, in which analizzaremo closely the display of a number of devices and technologies that characterize them. The two terminals are analyzing entrembi have an LCD display
with capacitive touchscreen technology to 800x480 pixel resolution. Very different, however, the size of the two screens, one of HD7 well it measures 4.3 inches, while HTC Mozart stops at 3.7 inches. In general we can say that these are two good display, with excellent definition and a good brightness. From the measurements we have also have noted that both the display of the HD7 that Mozart had a pretty good rendition, with a white point in both cases very close to the reference and also the primary colors stood in quality to levels similar to those ideals. Below the graphic analysis of the two.
Here
hours of images showing the visibility of the two displays at different viewing angles and in different lighting conditions, in all cases the brightness of the display was set to the maximum. In the first image the photos were taken in the absence of light, the interior with natural light in the second and third outdoors.
In the complete absence of light we see, of course, that both display, when viewed from the front, it performed beautifully. Observed at two different angles, however, notice a slight loss of saturation in the colors of both. given period of daylight in the interior, the situation worsened slightly in all three cases. Worsening due to the reflection of the coverage of the two displays.

Autonomy As we all know one of the yardsticks for more severe end of this category is the battery life. In this particular case, the surprise choice to equip the terminal with the larger display, and therefore with a greater amount of energy a battery less powerful than the competitor of the same brand. HD7 fact brings a dowry of a 1230 mAh battery against 1300 on the arrangement of Mozart. Despite this difference with both smartphone As with any test performed, even in this case we put the two phones to routine testing, with results generally in the media. Here are the graphs of the results of tests carried out on autonomy. The first graph is the autonomy in hours on the playback of audio formats mp3 The second concerns the autonomy in hours on the playback of video content. The screen brightness was set to the maximum, the screen timeout disabled. The third graph is the autonomy in hours on the navigation mode 3G that includes Web pages with video content. The screen brightness was set to the maximum and the screen timeout disabled. The last graph is the autonomy in hours on the navigation mode Wi-Fi. The screen brightness was set to the maximum and the screen timeout disabled. Both for HTC HD 7 for Mozart that we have a terminal which then adapts to any type of use we intend to do with it. Whether the appearance of multimedia entertainment that the most work are, in fact, well developed, reaching a fair compromise that can satisfy a good number of users. Unfortunately, their success or failure is closely related to the young age of the operating system, which, again, in many, waiting for that breakthrough that could bring Android and the levels of IOS.
Currently in Italy the two smartphones are available at a price ranging between 500 and 600 € for HD7 and between 400 and 500 € for Mozart, depending on the offers available in stores. A price, for the same offer is generally aligned with the media. At the time bids are not yet available on subscription contracts combined with special operators. We must however take into account that, according to the latest information in the same price range we could soon have the dual-core solutions presented in recent international events, which, at the same cost, certainly offer the highest performance. We will to see how HTC decide to make concerns the prices of the two solutions, and found that, soon, will offer a quality / price / performance that, for the reasons mentioned above (youth WP7), difficult to convince the public. ; |
