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:
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=2496898

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.

Microsoft is again reminding us about the Support end date for Windows XP sp2 is July 2010. It seems like they really want us to buy their latest OS Windows 7. Along with this Windows XP SP2, the Support ends at the same day for Windows 2000 Server and Client.

Microsoft said this through their windowsteamblog.com.

They have given lots of links which gives us the details of Windows 7 upgrade. Since Windows 7 is agood operating system according to my opinion I will also recommend that you change your OS to WIn 7. It worth it.

Windows 7 is voted the best Microsoft OS yet and I also agree on this. But for netbooks we are paying a secret price while using windows 7. It is the battery life. On average, Windows 7 seem to suck all the life out of it 47 minutes faster than Windows XP.

This differs from one netbook to other. Anyway this is to be expected since windows 7 is very good at graphics experience. It has lots of fancy features like “Aero effect” which can effect the battery life very drastically.

Windows 7 is an awesome Operating system, I agree. But nothing is perfect you know. This win 7 is also having some kinda problems. But Microsoft offers to help us, in these matters.

To facilitate and focus on problem fixing and provide solution for issue related to Windows 7 to end-users, Microsoft launches an one-stop portal called “Windows 7 Solution Center”, targeted Windows Vista system who wants to upgrade to Windows 7. In fact, Microsoft’s Knowledge Base Articles will redirect end-user to Windows 7 Solution Center is the KB article doesn’t manage to address or fix the issues or errors occurred, or occurred when installing or upgrading to Windows 7, when the KB help page is viewed in Windows Vista.

Windows 7 Solution Center covers almost everything about Windows 7. And if you are still not satisfied, there is an online community with lots and lots of active Microsoft pros and MVPs. You can ask for any help regarding to win 7 over there.

Step 1: Partition Your Hard Drive

Before you go installing Windows 7, the first thing you need to do is create a new partition on your hard drive to hold the new installation of Windows. Partitioning your hard drive will vary depending on whether you’re running XP or Vista—namely because Vista has a partition tool baked in, XP does not.

Partition Your Hard Drive in XP

To partition your hard drive in Windows XP, you’ll need to download some sort of third-party partitioning software. There are a lot of options available, one is GParted live CD, a free, open source boot CD that can handle all kinds of partitioning duties.

To use it, just download the GParted Live CD, burn it to a CD, then reboot your computer (booting from the disc). You’ll boot right into the partitioning tool. HowtoForge’s previous guide to modifying partitions with GParted is a great place to start, but it’s a fairly basic procedure:

1. Resize your current OS drive to free up enough space for a Windows 7 partition (the minimum system requirements ask for 16GB).
2. Create a new partition from the newly freed space.
3. Apply your changes.

Partition Your Hard Drive in Vista

The folks at Redmond were kind enough to include a disk partitioning tool in Vista if you know where to look. So go to Control Panel -> System and Maintainence (skip this one if you’re in Classic view) -> Administrative Tools -> Computer Management. Once you launch the Computer Management tool, click on Disk Management under the Storage heading in the sidebar. It’s partitioning time.

In a nutshell, you’ll need to shrink your current OS partition to free up at least 16GB of disk space (per the Windows 7 minimum system requirements), then create a “New Simple Volume” from the free space.

Step 2: Install Windows 7

Now that you’ve done all the heavy lifting, it’s time for the easy part: Installing Windows 7 on your new partition. So insert your Windows 7 disc and reboot your computer (you’ll need to have enabled booting from your DVD drive in your system BIOS, but most PCs will have this enabled by default).

Once the DVD boots up it’s a simple matter of following along with the fairly simple installation wizard. When you’re choosing installation type, be sure to select Custom (advanced) and choose the partition you set up above. (Be careful here. Choosing the wrong partition could mean wiping your other Windows installation altogether, so make sure you pick the new partition you just created.)

After you select the partition, go grab yourself a drink and let the installer do its work. Windows will run through some installation bits, restart a few times in the process. Eventually you’ll be prompted to set up your account, enter your license key, and set up Windows. Keep your eyes open for fun new Windows 7 features, like your new homegroup (and the accompanying password). When it’s finished, you’re up and rolling with your new Windows 7 installation.

Congratulations! You should now have a new entry for Windows 7 on your boot screen when you first start up your computer. You’ve now got all the tools necessary to dual-boot Windows 7 and XP or Vista—or even to triple-boot Windows 7, Vista, and XP.
