If you are a keen observer of Windows and all you are looking for after Vista and Windows 7, then here is all that you are looking for; Windows 8. For those of you who have been trying to get some info about the Windows 8 release here is what I can offer you. Due to some leaked information about Windows 8; we now have at least something to talk about. You must have some knowledge about the Windows 8 release schedule but here is what it actually stands like. The first beta version will be in market by the mid 2011, with the first public beta release by end 2011 as the final version will be launched by mid 2012.

Generally the process can be divided into three phases. First phase which is almost about to end is the logical structure or planning phase. The Windows 8 team is now keener about the bigger perspective about the themes, then the scenarios and finally end it as the individual features.

The second phase is the development phase, this phase will be the result of phase one. All that is needed to be put in Windows 8 will be given a final touch here. The features will be given coded so that they may be integrated into one single system known as Windows 8. Different programmers are working at different areas making sure that Windows 8 is released on time and with the same features that are planned for it. The process will continue till mid 2011 beta release.

Last or the third phase is the trouble shooting phase. Windows will fix all the bugs found during the Beta release versions to be prepared to launch it into the market in 2012. As per the plans the Windows is developed simultaneously with the Windows Server versions. So when Windows 8 will be in the market Windows Server 8 will also be launched.

Windows 8 will offer the advance version of features that were present in Windows 7. It will be using the Internet Explorer 9 and Windows Live Wave 5. The targeted market is the Lap PC which means the notebooks, tablets and netbooks as they will be selling more in no time. Windows is also planning to offer an application store, where you can buy or sell applications of Windows 8. Windows will also be supporting the web tailored applications. This means that they will be easy to look up and install, incorporate instantly with social services, easily scaleable with accordance to the device type the user is running and flexible license terms. So Windows 8 will have lot more to offer keep waiting and keep guessing.

IP Address and Subnet Masks for the CCENT Exam

On the CCENT Exam you will come across many different topics, but a major topic that will be presented in various different questions are IP addresses.

Any computer or router (an OSI Model layer 3 device) will need to have an IP address so that the computers are capable of interacting with one another.

In order to understand the concept of how they work they can be compared to something more familiar like telephone numbers. Any phone number that you call has a specific phone dedicated to it. So, if you wanted to call your mom you would dial her number and know that she would be the one to answer.

Computers operate in a similar fashion, but instead of using a phone number to talk to a specific computer you would use its IP address, which has a 32 bit long number that is written out in dotted decimal format. Which means there is a dot (a period) between every 8 bits. This just makes it much easier to read. An example of an IP address is: 192.168.1.1. Computers convert this number to binary, but that is a whole different lesson I don’t want to get into right now. Just remember that an IP address is split up into 4 different sections.

An IP address also has what is called a subnet mask attached to the end of it. For example, one with a subnet mask look like this 192.168.1.1 255.255.255.0. The purpose of the subnet mask is to let you know which part of the IP address belongs to the network and which part belongs to the hosts. This can kind of be compared to area codes when calling somebody’s telephone number.

In the above example because of what the subnet mask tells us, the network portion is the first three octets 192.168.1 and the host portion is the last octet.1. In this example and because there are only 8 binary bits allowed for each octet you can only have 256 addresses. So, for this example you can assign up to 254 hosts on this network. The number is 254 because you need to save 2 of the addresses to specify the network address and the broadcast address.
