Microsoft plans on launching its next generation operating system called Windows Vista in January. It will be replacing Microsoft Windows XP which has been its operating system for the last five years. Of course this new operating system has a lot of new advanced features which is going to require a decently fast and newer computer.

If you plan on purchasing a new PC for the holiday season, you should search for that is going to offer a free upgrade to Windows Vista when it arrives on store shelves in early January. If you aren't lucky enough to find one of those deals, make sure you buy a computer with a “Vista Capable” certification. This means that the machine has been tested with Windows Vista and should work. However this label can be quite deceiving because if a machine is “Vista Capable,” it does not mean that it will be able to take advantage of Windows Vista advanced new graphics in the “Aero” interface. If you want to be sure you will be able to run every last bell and whistle in Windows Vista, be sure to find one with the label “Vista Premium Ready.”

Microsoft has created a “Windows Vista Upgrade Advisor” which you can run on your computer. It will look at the hardware you have installed and see if your computer is capable of running Microsoft Windows Vista. If it reports that you don't have what it takes to run Vista, you might consider an upgrade if your computer is less than three years old, which would probably be more cost effective than buying an entirely new computer. Of course you should price out both options and see which is best for you.
If you want the technical specifications Microsoft has released, the bare minimum includes an 800 MHZ processor, 512 MB of RAM, a DirectX 9 capable video card, and 15 GB of free space. Microsoft has also released its recommended specifications for optimal usage of Windows Vista. These include having a 1 GHZ processor, 1 GB of RAM, a DirectX 9 capable video card with “Hardware Pixel Shader 2.0″, and “WDDM driver support.” Your video card will also need at least 128 MB of RAM. You will need to have 15 GB of free disk space and a DVD-ROM drive.

If you are weary of spending money on a new operating system, you might not need Windows Vista. A lot of its features can be found through free software, and an upgrade is probably a luxury purchase more than anything.

Microsoft’s ‘Zune-like’ phone to rival iPhone

Author: admin

Microsoft is in works to launch a touch-screen multimedia cell phone in an effort to challenge the Apple iPhone.

The Redmond, Wash-based country has historically made software for cellphone manufacturers, but its latest effort — internally called Project Pink — will mark the first time a phone will bear its name.

Analysts believe the phone could debut within a month at the Mobile World Congress conference in Barcelona, or perhaps CTIA a month later.

The project aims to produce a phone that will extend Microsoft’s reach of Windows Mobile operating system, as well as adding new software capabilities.

“We believe the phone will be based on WindowsMobile7, which has not yet been made generally available,” according to analyst Katherine Egbert of Jefferies.

Egbert believes the device would also likely include Microsoft’s new Windows Marketplace for Mobile, a store for cellphone downloads along the lines of Apple’s App Store.

Windows Mobile was one of the first challengers to Research In Motion’s dominant Blackberry platform, but the recent entries of Apple’s iPhone platform has helped to push Microsoft usage lower.

Apple had around 8.9 million users last October, according to market data by ComScore. Blackberry had nearly 15 million users, while Microsoft trailed with 7 million.

The tech giant hopes the tide will turn in its direction with this launch. Maybe there is a tool you will need in the future, which is Total Video Converter

“Revenue from the phone is also very unlikely to be meaningful for many years,” Egbert says. “However, the new phone might explain why Microsoft has allowed WinMo to dwindle to [less than”> 10 percent mobile OS market share.”

Pink would be the ‘third screen’ (after Windows and Xbox) and final component in Microsoft’s “3 screens and a cloud” strategy.

Analysts expect Pink to be a “Zune-like” phone, which includes 720p HD video and at least a 5 mega pixel camera.

So what do you think of this?

MAGIX PC Check & Tuning 2010 –

Even if you aren't tech-savvy, it's hard to escape the cloud of bad press that hangs over Microsoft Windows Vista. People say it's unstable, and keeps crashing. They say that it keeps asking you if you're really sure that you want to do anything. They even say that it doesn't work with their printers, games, or business software.

But you've got to switch sooner or later, right? When Microsoft makes a new version of Windows, doesn't everyone have to use it eventually? Not quite. Here are three ways to keep on computing without switching to Windows Vista. All three of them are bundled with new computers, but one of them you can put on your existing machine, in order to use it right now. Which one? Stay tuned!

Microsoft Windows XP

For many people, the last version of Windows “just worked.” And if something's still working for you, then why replace it? Keep using your Windows XP computer until something breaks down, or you otherwise need to get rid of it. Microsoft has already said that they will continue to support Windows XP with security updates until 2014, so it's not like it's going to go stale any time soon. Many of the new enhancements to Windows Vista are available for Windows XP anyway, most of them for free. Paul Thurott's SuperSite for Windows lists a number of Windows XP alternatives to Windows Vista features, and an article on Computerworld has even more suggestions.

If you desperately need a new PC, but don't want one that has Windows Vista installed, don't fret. As of 2008, many computer manufacturers are still selling PCs with Windows XP. And often, their business-class systems are sold with Windows Vista installed, but with “downgrade rights” to switch back to Windows XP. Try seeing what systems the manufacturers are selling on the business sections of their websites … these computers will probably be more reliable and have less useless “garbageware” on them, anyway. It's possible that your local computer stores will have Windows XP PCs there, too, as custom PC builders are allowed to sell Windows XP until February of 2009.

A known problem with Windows XP is that it tends to become slow and sluggish, after it's been left on your computer for a long time. And sometimes it becomes infected with spyware that's impossible to dislodge. You can get around this, however, by reinstalling Windows XP, something that many people do at least once a year. To reinstall Windows XP, follow these instructions on the PC World website. Just make sure to backup all your personal data first, by copying it to a flash drive or USB hard drive or by burning it to CD. Otherwise, you will lose it when you reinstall Windows.

Mac OS X Leopard

People are raving about “Leopard,” the latest version of the Mac Operating System that comes with all new Macs for free. It's reputed to be easy to use, and to make common computing tasks simple and intuitive. If you're not sure what all the fuss is about, you can visit http://www.apple.com/macosx/ to watch a video tour, or visit your nearest Apple Store to try Leopard out in person.

Leopard comes with iTunes and the iLife software suite, programs which let you edit home movies, keep track of your music and digital photo libraries, and even create your own DVDs (if your new Mac comes with a DVD burner). It can't run Windows programs, however, unless you buy an actual copy of Windows to put on your Mac. And that means being stuck with Windows Vista anyway, unless you can find a copy of Windows XP for sale – and not an “Upgrade” copy either, as those can only be installed over an earlier version of Windows. No, you can't use the Windows XP disc that came with your old PC; Microsoft uses “Product Activation” technology to make sure that you can only run it on the PC you bought it with. It's completely unfair, but what can you do?

For starters, you can look into some of the software available for Macs. A lot of it's supposed to be pretty good, and that's if you even need anything beyond Leopard, iTunes and iLife. There are also Mac versions of a ton of PC games, and sometimes (like in World of Warcraft's case) you can even use the same discs that you used to install the game on your PC. Microsoft Office is available for the Mac, although you may find that Apple's iWork or the free NeoOffice suit your needs better. Finally, CodeWeavers makes a program called Crossover, which lets you run many Windows programs on your new Mac without actually having Windows installed. Check their compatibility list to see if the program you can't live without is supported by Crossover; otherwise, see if there's an actual Mac version of that program.

Ubuntu

Maybe you've heard of Linux, the “Open Source” operating system that people are talking about. It has shiny visual effects, it's all but immune to spyware and viruses, and it's powering Tivos and web servers everywhere.

Ubuntu calls itself “Linux for Human Beings,” and they go out of their way to make it as easy as possible to use. They'll even mail you a free CD if you don't want to download it from their website. Once you get it in the mail, you can try it straight from the CD without putting anything on your computer. And if you decide that you want to keep it, you can either set aside permanent space for it (recommended) or install it just like a Windows program, complete with the option to uninstall. Either way, whenever your PC boots up you'll be able to choose either Ubuntu or Windows, whichever you need at the time.

A free version of Crossover called Wine exists for Ubuntu (and other versions of Linux), that lets you run many Windows programs without having to boot into Windows. But you may find that you don't need it, as Ubuntu includes a feature that lets you install thousands of programs for free, from games and educational software to full-featured Microsoft Office-compatible office suites. It even automatically updates them for you, so that you don't have to download and install patches.

Not all PC hardware, software and accessories are compatible with Ubuntu, and you may find that you need to tweak something in order to get it to work. A good rule of thumb is to use your favorite search engine to look for “(your hardware's make and model here) +Linux,” to see what other people's experiences have been, or to search for your hardware using the search feature on http://www.ubuntuforums.org. The Ubuntu Forums are sort of like a free community support group, where Ubuntu users can help each other out. Just remember, the people on the Ubuntu forums are other users like you, and they're not being paid to listen to people who are being rude. A little politeness will go a long way.

The Upshot

Many large corporations are refusing to deploy Windows Vista on their systems – not now, and not ever – because they have decided that it is not right for them. You can make that choice, too, if you know what your options are. Don't buy something you don't need, especially when it doesn't even work better than something you already have or can get for free.

Good luck!

I am running Windows 2000 Server and after running for about 3-4 days I get a warning in event log that "The driver has disabled the write cache on device \device\harddiskx\DR0" and thereafter I get a long series of errors reading, in short, Unable to read the device performance counters… and within hours the server crashes. The x stands for one of the harddrives and which harddrive it is varies. (I have four on the machine.) I have turned on disk write caching and turned it off and on in case it was stuck but it makes no difference. What is going on and what do I do?

January Patch 'Critical' for Windows 2000

Microsoft plans to release its January security patch today, which is expected to include just one fix for Windows systems.

The light release follows heavy patch rollouts seen in the last quarter of 2009. However, in recent years, Microsoft has tended to deliver fewer patches January, with heavier delivery starting in February, according to Jason Miller, data and security team leader at Shavlik Technologies.

The vulnerability to be patched has remote code execution security implications for systems. Microsoft's patch affects every Windows supported operating system — even Windows 7. However, it's particularly important for Windows 2000 users, when the patch gets a "critical" rating. For other Windows OSes, the patch has a "low" rating, Miller explained in an e-mail.

According to an e-mailed statement from Microsoft spokesperson Jerry Bryant, "Customers with Windows 2000 systems will want to review and deploy this update as soon as possible."

Bryant pointed to Security Advisory 977544 describing a patch for the bug-heavy Windows Server Message Block, which is subject to denial-of-service exploit risks.

"We are still working on an update for the issue at this time," Bryant said in a statement. "We are not aware of any active attacks using the exploit code that was made public for this vulnerability and continue to encourage customers to follow the guidance in the advisory."

Meanwhile, the single patch may require a restart, according to Redmond's advance bulletin.

Microsoft also offers a preview of nonsecurity releases through Windows Update, Microsoft Update Services and Windows Server Update Services. The list is available through this knowledgebase article.

IT pros may also want to consider applying Adobe's security patch for Acrobat and Reader, which is scheduled for release today. It's a fix for a zero-day exploit, according to Miller.

"Unlike most months, what the bulletin administrators should look at first is the Adobe patch when it is released later today," Miller stated. "This bulletin will patch vulnerabilities that are currently in the wild affecting users. With any zero-day exploit, it is important to address the issue as soon as possible."
