I wanted to find out what was happening in India and to my surprise, Microsoft India didn’t even mention Windows 7 on their Windows Home Page!

The Windows Site has ‘Highlights’ – Small Business: Upgrade to Windows Vista with Confidence

Microsoft India

Funny a company like Microsoft forgot to mention Windows 7. Having said that, I guess even MS would not know what web properties they have around the world! Elephants can’t Dance Saala!

PS: As you can see from the screenshot, I happily use Windows 7, Live Writer, and I love Microsoft!

Credits… http://shashankrana.com/2009/03/got-my-blog-started-credits/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=got-my-blog-started-credits http://shashankrana.com/2009/03/got-my-blog-started-credits/#comments Mon, 23 Mar 2009 00:51:50 +0000 shashank http://shashank.asia/?p=5 Finally, I have managed to get this blog up and running. I have been thinking about creating my own blog instead of using the Live Spaces service by Microsoft.

I wish to thank a few people for this. Foremost is WordPress, for the most beautiful piece of code that I have ever seen. They are correct, code is poetry! Then I would like to thank Jai Nischal Verma from Blog Oh! Blog, for the wonderful theme that I am using here. And finally, I wish to thank Paint.net, the one software that makes editing images easy. The logo of this website has been created using Paint.net.

There are a few things that I need to do before I can consider this complete. I need to look for a few plugins so that I can ensure that this blog works the way I expect it to. Then I need to see if the widgets in WordPress are working correctly. I need to add the Akismet code to save myself from all the spam that is going to be generated. Lastly, I need to check if this setup will work with Windows Live Writer or not.

So much for it!
