Windows 7 was launched with much fanfare by Microsoft in 2010as the latest and perhaps the best OS yet by the software giant. However, Windows XP, despite being an older OS continues to be the most dominant OS worldwide. It has been 10 years since XP was launched but there are no signs of people giving it up though many have switched over to Windows 7. The year 2012 will be a decisive year for both XP and Windows 7. The year 2011 ended with share of XP dropping to 46% of the total market share. Though this is still very impressive considering it is a decade old product, one has to realize that XP started the year with 55% market hare. During the year, this market share fell with every month. On the other hand, Windows 7 started the year with a market share of 22% and ended with a bang with a market share of 37%. Windows Vista was a distant third I the race with the OS dropping from 11% market share at the beginning of 2011 and ending at just 8%.

Microsoft has been trying desperately to convince companies around the world to switch to its latest OS Windows 7 and has even declared that it will withdraw support to XP by 2014.

We all love Dropbox for the simplicity and convenience it brings to life, don’t we? It is a cloud storage app that allows us to share all our digital media files and other files across various computers that we use without the need to carry data along with us. It is a free service that makes storing your files an easy job and you also retrieve it from anywhere. Dropbox is working on a brand new idea that, once implemented, will allow; rather enable Dropbox to import photos and videos from your digital camera without you having to manually upload them to this cloud storage app. You will just connect your digital camera to your computer and Dropbox will slurp all photos and videos from it. These files will then go to various Dropbox servers from where they can be accessed by all computers that are connected with this app.

There are already dissent voices being heard. There are some people who say that they click far too many photos and do not want all of these photos to be uploaded as they will consume the entire space that is allotted to them by Dropbox. In any case, it sure is a great idea as it secures some family photos that otherwise either get deleted or are hard to retrieve at the right moment.

Fax had made life very easy, instead of sending important documents through post mail, now we can send them through fax. Online fax service has taken this facility as step further. Many online fax service providers are available on the internet. It is very difficult for a common user to choose one service provider from so many companies. Here, as a user I am giving you some suggestions to choose an online fax service provider. I am simply sharing my experience; you can make your choice. You can also consult efax reviews, and take the advantage from other’s experiences.

My first and foremost concern was the price. I want to transfer my existing number to a new company, so I was concerned that how much they will charge me for transference of number. I find out that many companies do the transference of number without any charges, while other charge few dollars. Moreover, some companies charge extra money if you send more pages than the limit.

I and my subordinates want to use the same number to send papers, with different email accounts but few online services does not supports this feature and fax can be sent through one email address only. So, if you want multiple users to use the same number, check with your service provider. Many other things are also important like fax transmission speed, customer service and ease of use. For further information you can check Consumers- Rankings.com and efax reviews will also help you to make a better choice.
