Its time to start changing from Win XP to Windows7

Businesses are finally prying their hands from Microsoft s Windows XP as they warm to Windows 7 .

"Over the years, IT has had a real love affair with XP," said Diane Hagglund, an analyst at Dimensional Research, which surveyed 923 IT professionals about their Windows operating system adoption plans in January. "It was just a great OS. It just worked for them. But that feeling is going away."

In the new study, 40% of the respondents said that theyre worried about the hassles of maintaining the nearly nine-year-old Windows XP as it gets increasingly outdated -- up from 28% in an April 2009 Dimensional survey.

Meanwhile, 60% of the respondents said theyre worried about the cost and overhead of migrating to Windows 7, but that figure is down from 72% last year.

"IT is still more worried about Windows 7 than XP, but the trend is favouring Windows 7," the study said.

Confidence in Windows 7 has climbed since it shipped. Last April, 67% of those polled said they had concerns about Windows 7, which had not yet been released; this year, only 56% said they did.

"The difference was the release of the operating system, the biggest part of that from hands-on experience," Hagglund said, explaining why some in IT have changed their minds about Windows 7. "Theyre trying it at home, many of them, long before it comes to them professionally, so they know what its like."

Businesses and individual users should start changing before time catches up with them and support for Windows XP is no longer available.

C Program to print its own Source Code as Output

We can print the source code of a program as an output using quine. So first lets understand what quine is?

What is a Quine?

A quine is a computer program which takes no input and produces a copy of its own source code as its only output. The standard terms for these programs in the computability theory and computer science literature are "self-replicating programs", "self-reproducing programs", and "self-copying programs".

Quines are named after the American mathematician and logician Willard Van Orman Quine (1908–2000). The interesting thing about quine is that we are not allowed to use open and then print file of the program.

An example of a quine in C language is given below which produces the source code as an output. It can be written in any other language like java, python, etc.

main(a){printf(a="main(a){printf(a=%c%s%c,34,a,34);}",34,a,34);}

If you will compile and run above code then it will show following output

C Program to print its own Source Code as Output

This program can result in undefined behavior as we have used printf function without including its header file. Also, the return type declaration for main has been left off to reduce the length of the program. Two 34s are used to print double quotes around the string s.
