David the Student Reacts to Bill's Speech

Max — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 16:29:00 GMT

Kicking off Bill's campus tour, he gave his first speech at Stanford University to a packed auditorium. There were some interesting questions asked during the live QnA at the end directly by students, one of which was David, a Computer Science major.

Check out David's reaction to Bill's overall presentation style, topics, and how David feels about DreamSpark--free Microsoft development and design tools for students.

DreamSpark, a good example of Interoperability between OpenSource and Microsoft

Lean — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 15:54:00 GMT

We recently caught up with two gurus of Digital Identity - Kim Cameron (of Microsoft) and Bob Morgan (big OSS guy). These guys are rockstars of identity both from the Microsoft and the open source perspectives. They were kind enough to share their thoughts on how interoperability is a key concept in enabling digital identity in a way that still preserves privacy.

DreamSpark user guide (by Kris Athi)

Lean — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 19:08:00 GMT

Hello Student, and welcome to this totally awesome guide to using DreamSpark! I have written this guide so that it is easy to follow for any student with any technical ability level.

I will show you how easy it is to download a product from the service and get it all up and running quickly. In this example, I will be assuming you have signed up for the service and are ready to download a product. This example will show you how to download and install Expression Studio

1. Select a Product for Download

For this example, we will be downloading Expression Studio. Selecting this option will bring you to the download page

2. Download the Product

Select that you have read and agree to the terms and conditions and select the download method you would like to use

Both methods will get you to the same place, but the Download manger will allow you to resume the download should you want to download the file over separate sessions or if the file should fail for some reason.

The Web Browser option will allow you to download the file in the same manner you would usually download file from the internet, but it does not support the features the download manger uses.

Now sit back and relax while the file is downloaded :)

3. Create a Product CD using ISO Recorder

You will notice that the downloaded file is of the ISO file format, but what is an ISO and what do you do with it?

The best way to think of an ISO is as a “Container File” that contains all of the files that you would expect to find on the product CD

An ISO file is a CD Image. Try to imagine that somebody has taken of the files off the product CD and put them inside in this single ISO file. But what do you do with this now?

You cannot burn this file directly to a CD, this will not work. You need to expand the ISO file on to a CD instead. Unfortunately, this is not supported directly in Vista or XP directly, and a free piece of software is needed.

There are many applications out there to burn ISO files, but I find ISO Recorder the easiest to use. This can be downloaded from http://isorecorder.alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm and the site also has a quick step by step on finding out your windows version if you don’t already know

Once this is installed, burning an ISO file is a breeze, simply right click the downloaded file, and select the “Copy Image to CD option”

You will then be presented with the following screen:-

Put a blank disc into your recorder, select a burning speed and click the next button

Now just sit back and relax while the iso is recorded to your blank disc.

4. Checking the Disc and installing the Product

When complete, if you view the contents of the CD from My Computer

You will see that the ISO has been unpacked and you now have a disc that functions in exactly the same way as one obtained at retail.

Right clicking the CD drive and selecting “Run Autoplay” will launch the setup for the given product, here is an example of the Expression Studio welcome screen

Finally, you can now delete the ISO file from your computer and keep the newly created product CD in case you need to reinstall the product at a later date

And the most important part of the process, enjoy it!

Bill Gates talks about Free Software, Students, and Technology

Max — Tue, 19 Feb 2008 05:01:00 GMT

How would you like a free copy of Microsoft Visual Studio 2008? How about the entire Microsoft Expression Studio? Not enough...... how about Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and more?

For once, something that sounds too good to be true really is this good and really is true. Starting today (or soon in some areas), students worldwide will be able to download our professional development and design tools for free! It's called DreamSpark and it is upon us.

We got a few minutes with the guy himself, Mr. Bill Gates, to talk about his thoughts on this student opportunity. We also discussed the fast pace of technology and how students can best deal with that. Finally, I gave him a chance to think about what he would do if he were 17 years old again and starting up the next big company. His answer was--are you sitting down because this one was a real shocker--software!

We figured since one 8er already won a PC and another 8er won a Zune, we should hook you guys up with something cool too... I better see some smiles in the comments! :)
