Update to Support Indian Rupee Symbol in Windows 7/Vista/Server 2008

Microsoft has just issued an update for Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 and for Windows Server 2008 R2 that adds support for the new currency symbol for the Indian Rupee. This includes font support, locale changes, and keyboard support.

The currency symbol for Indian Rupee, you might recall, was announced on July last year and then incorporated in Unicode version 6 in October. Until now, the only way to type the Rupee symbol in text documents was to use the specially prepared font that was mapped to the rarely used (`) key found just below the Escape key in the common keyboard layout. The other means of obtaining the Rupee symbol was through Vector or PSD files.

These were just stopgap measures before proper Unicode symbol became available, which has happened now.

The update can be downloaded from the links below. Choose the download link depending on the operating system you are using.

The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo

Facebook’s current layout, the so called Timeline, features a prominent, large cover photo that some people are using in a lot of different creative ways. Timeline is also available for Facebook Pages that people can use to promote their website or business or event. Although you can change the cover photo as often as you like, it’s meant to be static – something which you design and leave it for at least a few weeks or months like a redesigned website. However, there are times when you may want to change the cover photo frequently and periodically to match event dates or some special promotion that you are running or plan to run.
