4.1.2008Slideshow in the Windows Live Photo Gallery
We didnt do much to the Slideshow feature in the Windows Live Photo Gallery, but there have been several questions coming in about this feature, so we
thought that it was worth a brief rundown of whats changed.
In a nutshell, heres how the slideshow feature works in this
release:
- XP users: Basic slideshow only (equivalent to the Classic theme on Vista). No transitions, and no support for videos. The rich
themes are very dependent on the Vista graphics model, so it will take a fair amount of work to get the rich themes working on XP (more than we could
bite off for this release).
- Vista users (basic graphics hardware): The experience should be unchanged from Vista. You may see a limited
set of themes available, and may or may not see transport controls depending on the capabilities of your graphics card.
- Vista users
(premium graphics hardware): The experience should be unchanged from Vista.
We
blogged about the Vista Slideshow experience previously. Most
of this still applies (with the exception of the above notes). One exception is that although the rich themes were only available on certain Vista
SKUs, all themes are available in all Vista SKUs (again, depending on your graphics hardware).

28.06.2006Microsoft: Malware can disable UAC in Windows 7 "by design"
A month has barely passed since the public beta debut of Windows 7 and we have our first horror story. UAC (user account control) was the major gripe
with Windows Vista which annoyed most tech savvy users and confused ordinary consumers. Microsoft has changed the behavior in Windows 7, lowering the
requirement for user interaction when changing system settings. The apparent downside to this is, according to reports, the way Microsoft has changed
the behavior makes it extremely easy for malware authors to write code to disable UAC without user intervention.

30.01.2009Twelve unnecessary Vista features to disable
Vista, thy name is bloat! The latest Windows packs a lot of code -- more than any version of Windows ever -- and some of it is just plain unnecessary.
All of that excess code has a way of slowing down an operating system. You can regain some PC performance by removing unneeded features.
InfoWorld have identified a dozen Vista features that you can turn off right now. Some are shiny baubles that slow down graphics performance, while
others are optional utilities that hog memory when they shouldn't. A few can actually be quite useful, though they play a major role in bogging
down your PC.

23.12.2005Lenovo lets you disable your laptop with a text message
In the next couple months Lenovo will be rolling out a BIOS update for its Montevina laptop users which enables remote shutdown and subsequent
encryption via text message. The tech relies on the laptop having a WWAN connection and activates when a custom string, defined by the user and sent
from a single, paired phone, is received. In other words, you can choose whatever you want as the shutdown signal, from a cool "Kill" or
"Self-Destruct" to a long, patronizing multi-part message about the thieving youth of today. Constant Secure Remote Disable, as it's called,
isn't being touted as a first line of defense.

30.11.2005Windows 7 Build 6801 Desktop Slideshow
Chris Holmes: Well folks, were at it again. Last night I was having a discussion with
Rafael Rivera and we got to wondering if there was something more that Microsoft was hiding away from us, using the same method
as they did to tuck away the superbar. With that said, I started crawling my system with some tools to find references, as Rafaels laptop was acting
up and my machine could accomplish the task much quicker. Completely to my suprise, the system pulled some results across many other files in the
system. Upon examination, Rafael discovered that this all ties into a new feature that we assume will be called Desktop Slideshow. Think of this
as a dreamscene-esque type feature but without the hassle and the chugging of your CPU if you try to play a video with any decent resolution.

Thanks Nekrosoft for the news
on this major update to

most of us improve the speed

Vista significantly!
Please note: These fixes
break all current methods of
bypassing driver singing
requirements except the good
old F8 during boot (that you
have to do every single time
you start vista)
IF
you are using Rivatuner,
atitool and or Peerguardian on
64bit vista, you will have to
use F8 every single time to
disable driver signing
requirements to use those two
programs. x86 version is
unaffected.
These
updates should go official on
the next patch Tuesday (in one
weeks time). Please read more

29.03.2007Why Vista? Good Question
Debra Donston: In a survey conducted by Ziff Davis Enterprise Editorial Research for eWEEK, respondents indicated that they have been underwhelmed by
Microsoft Windows Vista. And, it seems the future of Windows is ... XP?
Vista? What Vista? One year after Vistas release, just 2
percent of respondents said the OS is the primary desktop OS at their company. A whopping 92 percent said Windows XP was the primary desktop OS.
And it seems that enterprises are planning on sticking with what they have for the foreseeable future: 72 percent of respondents
said that the OS theyre currently using is the one they expect to be using in 2009. Looks like XP has a longer life than Microsoft plannedor
wanted.

14.03.2008Microsoft hands Vista code to security vendors
Microsoft has taken the first
step toward addressing
complaints made by security
vendors Symantec Corp. and
McAfee Inc., which had feared
that the software giant's
upcoming Vista operating
system would harm their
customers. On Monday,
Microsoft released API
(application programming
interface) code that will
allow security vendors to
disable the Security Center
management console that will
ship with Vista. Symantec and
McAfee had complained that
without the ability to disable
this software, Vista users who
had purchased their products
would receive duplicate and
confusing security messages.
The APIs are being
released via several of
Microsoft's security partner
programs, including the
SecureIT Alliance and the
Microsoft Security Response
Alliance, said Adrien
Robinson, a director with
Microsoft's Security

08.09.2009Microsoft ignores Vista upgrade loophole
Microsoft will not close a
loophole that offers consumers
a cheaper way to upgrade to
Windows Vista.
The procedure is
time consuming, but allows
users to save about 35 per
cent of the purchase price for
the regular Windows
Vista.
"People without a licensed
copy of XP that use this
workaround are violating the
terms of use agreed to when
they purchased the upgrade
version of Windows Vista," a
Microsoft spokesman told
vnunet.com.
"As such, we believe only a
very small percentage of
people will take the time to
implement this workaround, and
we encourage all customers to
follow our official guidelines
for upgrading to Windows
Vista."
Microsoft added that it does
not have any plans to disable
the workaround at this
time.
