Windows 7 is finally here and Microsoft intended it to be intuitive and simple to use and hopes to remedy past OS problems related to security, reliability and stability .  In an attempt to meet the needs of the many different types of computer users, Windows 7 will be released in six versions.

Versions of Windows 7

• Starter- is for PCs with limited hardware capabilities (netbooks, lower end laptops and workstations).  Users are limited to using a maximum of three simultaneously running programs at a time.
• Home Premium- offers enhanced Windows navigation, improved taskbars and jumplists, live thumbnail previews, Mobility Center for smart phone users, Aero Glass—a new way to view folders, enhancements to Windows Media Center and Media Streaming, and the ability to simultaneously run an unlimited number of applications.
• Home Basic- is a scaled down version of Home Premium that is intended for the overseas market.  This version has been modified to run on PCs with smaller processers.
• Professional- includes all the features of Home Premium as well as providing simple and secure server networking, advanced network backup, file and folder encryption, and location-aware printing to help your PC find the correct printer, regardless of location.
• Enterprise- is similar to Professional but is intended for large corporate customers that are business volume-licensed. In addition to the features offered in Professional, it also includes enhanced security features such as Bitlocker data protection and advanced management capabilities.
• Ultimate- provides home users all the features of the Enterprise version but doesn’t require a volume license.  Unfortunately, this version will have only limited availability through occasional promotional deals.

Configuring round robin

Round robin is a local balancing mechanism used by DNS servers to share and distribute network resource loads. You can use it to rotate all resource record (RR) types contained in a query answer if multiple RRs are found.

By default, DNS uses round robin to rotate the order of RR data returned in query answers where multiple RRs of the same type exist for a queried DNS domain name. This feature provides a simple method for load balancing client use of Web servers and other frequently queried multihomed computers.

If round robin is disabled for a DNS server, the order of the response for these queries is based on a static ordering of RRs in the answer list as they are stored in the zone (either its zone file or Active Directory).

Example: Round-robin rotation

A forward lookup-type query (for all A RRs that match a DNS domain name) is made for a multihomed computer (multihomed.example.offsitenoc.com) that has three IP addresses. Separate A RRs are used to map the host’s name to each of these IP addresses in the zone. In the stored example.offsitenoc.com zone, the RRs appear in this fixed order:

multihomed IN A 192.168.1.1

multihomed IN A 192.168.1.2

multihomed IN A 192.168.1.3

The first DNS client that queries the server to resolve this host’s name receives the list in default order. When a second client sends a subsequent query to resolve this name, the list is rotated as follows:

multihomed IN A 192.168.1.2

multihomed IN A 192.168.1.3

multihomed IN A 192.168.1.1
