If you wonder how you can insert the Rupee (₹) symbol into your document, then this post is for you.

First of all the font should be installed in your system.

Windows All

If you use windows Vista or Later, You can install the official upgrade by Microsoft by visiting this link:

Note: But as for windows XP users, the font is not official and hence you guys better not use the font from third party. Because if you use that font and you gave this document to any other person, who used vista or later or even xp who hasn’t installed your font, will not be able to see that symbol.

After installing the font you can use the key combination as give

<Press-and-hold Alt> 2 0 b 9 <Release Alt>

Linux

Ubuntu/Kubuntu 10.10 and later versions comes with the font out of the box. So you need not worry about this.
In ubuntu you can use the following key comination for the Symbol.

<Press and Hold Ctrl-Shift-u> 2 0 b 9 <Release all keys, enter>

Now you can see the font there! You can try these following methods too.

• Kubuntu 10.10: Copy-and-paste ‘₹’
• HTML: insert “₹”

Now If none of these techniques works for you, then do this.

1. Download the font from Here => Font for Rupee Symbol (₹)

2. Install the font.

3. Copy the file to C:WindowsFonts directory.(for Windows XP users) / 2. Right-click the file and choose “Install”. (for Windows 7/Vista users)

4. Press the Tild Sign in your keyboard.

AN EMPLOYEE has accidentally leaked details of Microsoft’s next operating system via his Linkedin profile.

Robert Morgan, a senior member of the Microsoft Research team posted some details on his profile at Linkedin, a popular social networking site for business professionals.

According to his post,

Working in high security department for research and development involving strategic planning for medium and longterm projects. Research & Development projects including 128bit architecture compatibility with the Windows 8 kernel and Windows 9 project plan. Forming relationships with major partners: Intel, AMD, HP and IBM.

He also revealed the planning of Windows 9, something no-one at Microsoft has confirmed before.

For me, its not like that. Because in my system win 7 always boot faster than win vista.

Anyway for PC-tuning company iolo Technologies, its not like that. According to PC-tuning company iolo Technologies, Windows 7 boots up slower than predecessor Vista, a strong contradiction to Microsoft’s claims of improved start-up times.

Iolo’s testing showed that Windows 7 loads up 42 percent slower than Vista, while using a “brand new machine.” 7 loaded in 1:34 compared to 1 minute flat for Vista.

This point is where the numbers get confusing, however. Iolo measures startup as the “point where the computer is ‘fully usable,’ with a low load on the processor.” From power button to desktop, Windows 7 loads faster then Vista, but in “full startup” it does not.

Perhaps more notably is the fact that just like Vista, startup times depend on how many applications have already been installed on the computer. After a few “commonly-used” applications are installed, boot time increases 64 percent to 2 minutes, says iolo.

The full report on boot-time benchmarks is set for release on Monday.

If you’ve been keeping up with Windows 7 news, you know one of the selling points is a less annoying UAC system—so the 7 Tutorials blog set out to illustrate what was actually changed.

The biggest change in Windows 7 is the new User Account Control “slider” setting, where you can choose your own balance between annoyance and security—but behind the scenes, Microsoft reduced the amount of actions that will prompt you. The 7 Tutorials blog ran down a list of common actions that triggered a UAC prompt in Windows Vista, but don’t in Windows 7, concluding that:

…in Windows 7 you will not encounter UAC prompts in at least 11 of the scenarios where Windows Vista triggered one.
