Microsoft and Oracle have joined hands yet again as they have announced a partnership according to which both of the preeminent companies will be able to launch and host applications and products in the each other’s environments and servers along with license mobility and accessibility facilities. For the past twenty years, Microsoft and Oracle have worked under volatile working relationships; they have been staunch industry competitors, joint venture partners and foes. The new partnership commonly branded as “cloud partnership” empowers both the parties in the enterprise cloud domains as it is considered as one of the most important and strategic steps taken.
Oracle users will now be able to get the mobile licenses to use the oracle products on Server Hyper-V or in Windows Azure platforms. Oracle will allow the users to run its software in the windows azure cloud based environments. Microsoft will integrate augmented support services and real time interaction for the oracle products running in the windows azure and simple capacities. The partnership targets to smooth the multilevel cross platform application in order to elevate the standards of the cloud industry. The cardinal feature of this partnership is to provide the quality of services from both the ends. Oracle will offer third party integration and backup support for all kinds of distributed environments in which users will be able to run the remote servers and other interactive software on the native machines with back end server support on Windows Azure.
The partnership is likely to develop in future because this venture will “allow customers to leverage capabilities of both Oracle and Microsoft” as agreed by Mark Hurd, President of the top notch, Oracle. The partnership will allow java and windows developers to deploy the Windows azure services in the development phases of the applications as the need of the enterprise level cloud computing applications development is elevating with every passing day. Experts are of the view that the new partnership between the two champions is likely to generate massive revenue that will instigate further chances of the enterprise level collaborations.
Linux images, Oracle WebLogic Server and other Oracle services will be allowed by the Microsoft operating systems as per this partnership which will facilitate thousands of users around the world willing to use the cloud services and Oracle products.

Why save a high resolution picture from a PowerPoint slide, you might ask? Although there are a large number of fairly popular photo editors both as online tools and software applications, they may not be welcomed by a normal user. By a normal user, the reference is to all those individuals not comfortable in using software like Adobe Photoshop and the like. Quite often, you may require mild photo editing with overlay such as placing the company logo on a photo, and then saving it as a high resolution image that can then be used or resized as per requirement. Placing one image on the other is fairly simple and involves just a few drag and drop actions, along with the right use of Bring to Front and Send To Back options from the right click context menu in Microsoft PowerPoint. Saving it in a high quality format is a challenge in its own and hence, this post tells you exactly how to modify a few registry values in your favor. Once you successfully do this one-time customization, you’ll be able to do much more with the standard PowerPoint software.
We often use to-do lists, notes and other task management software to organize, record and optimize our daily routine but one of the most important platforms where we spend significant amounts of our time is the Personal Computer. Microsoft Windows always comes with an easy to use Task Manager that allows you to achieve the same goal by analyzing a list of tasks and processes along with the system consumption information. The importance of Task Manager was often realized when the system would get very slow while some of the programs became unresponsive. The Ctrl+Alt+Del keys would always save us in such scenarios and when the explorer stops responding, all you need is to create a New Task with the identity explorer.exe. The End Process and End Process Tree have always been a life-saver for both the usual and the expert users of the computer. But the Task Manager was never an all-in-one solution and you would often had to rely on third party tools to get a better picture of the system resource consumption, startup management, tweaks and optimizations. With Windows 8, the new Task Manager is a comprehensive solution for both the novice as well as the advanced users of the operating system. This post will show you how life has been made simpler by this powerful system tool.
One thing that instantly comes up when one things of mathematics, equations and all those variables fluidly connected together to derive complex solutions from seemingly meager problems, is the image of a blackboard (or a whiteboard in the modern era). We all realize that quite rapidly, the virtual whiteboard is taking the center stage. With online education websites, virtual classrooms, video lessons, assignments and literally every component of learning becoming accessible through technology, more and more people are turning to their computers and the internet for learning. Now, imagine a situation where you’re faced by a huge assignment and you don’t have a solution manual to confirm whether you’re on the right track or even a silly-mistakes checker. Most of us make silly mistakes at the start of our solution that ends us up on the wrong side of the outcome. Inkulator is a Windows App that instantly detects handwritten mathematical equations and calculates them for you so that you can verify and diagnose the areas causing the wrong result. It provides an experience where you don’t have to click buttons and then erase parts of the equation, if you got it wrong but encourages you to jot everything in your own handwriting and then presents the solution, with ease.
