08.08.2007Vista To Shed Some of its Dark Side
Thanks to rev23dev for
the heads up on this one...
If you're like me,
you've played with almost
every build of Vista/Longhorn
you could get your little paws
on. The last build I had a
chance to use was RC1, and
several of my top 'Vista
annoyances' were still
present:
- My unsigned
(and rather awesome) kX
drivers no longer work
properly with my Audigy sound
card
- Daemon
Tools/Alcohol 120% still
didn't work. (Thankfully the
folks over at Daemon Tools
recently fixed that)
- I
couldn't stand the dark
looking UI for more than 3
days. (I'm going to miss
patching my uxtheme.dll so
very much. kol, bant,
StefanKa, and b0se have kept
my XP install looking awesome
for years)
Well looks
as though Microsoft has
listened to some of the 'dark
UI' cries and released the
following statement on their
'shell:revealed' blog:
"In the end, we
decided that we like the black
and think it is the right
thing to do, but we want to
respect the user's color
choice for users who bother to
make a change. So -
starting in today's build, we
have significantly backed off
the amount of black that is
mixed in with the user's
color for maximized
windows. This is not
particularly noticeable with
the default color, but with
the more intense colors like
Red and Orange, you will
appreciate the
difference."
Hopefully this will result
in an improved UI experience
for everyone.

04.10.2006Microsoft changes 'Windows Genuine Advantage' name
Microsoft will be changing to name of it's activation and validation system from "Windows Genuine Advantage" to "Windows Activation
Technologies" according to a report by Mary-Jo Foley. However, the "Genuine" brand isn't completely disappearing. A press release states that
Microsoft will continue to deliver genuine updates and notifications for XP users. The program has been criticized for its punishment tactics and
false-positive results, even though Microsoft has fixed some of these problems in Vista SP1. According to Microsoft, Windows 7's activation will
be built on the same software protection platform that was part of Vista, with some minor tweaks made for Windows 7.

08.05.2009Safely Remove Hardware fix for Windows Vista
When you click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the notification area on a Windows Vista based computer, and then you click Safely remove
Device_name, the device may not be removed as expected. Additionally, you do not receive a message that verifies whether the device was safely
removed.
Note This problem occurs only when you left-click the Safely Remove Hardware icon in the notification area and then click Safely
remove Device_name.
This problem occurs because of a timing issue in which allocated memory may be released while the system is removing
the selected device. When this behavior occurs, the system can no longer find the information about the selected device. Therefore, the device is not
removed.

20.12.2006Sony charges $50 to remove laptop bloatware; Retracts Later
Sony is
offering to remove
some of the trial software it crams onto the hard disks of new laptops, for a fee. Buyers of the configure-to-order versions of its Vaio TZ2000 and
Vaio TZ2500 laptops can opt to have Sony remove the some of its own applications, in addition to trial software and games.
The "Fresh
Start" option, billed as a software optimization, costs $49.99, and is only available to customers choosing to pay an additional $100 to
upgrade the operating system to Windows Vista Business from the Windows Vista Home Premium edition offered as standard.
Blogs erupted
with outrage at the planned charge, with Engadget opening a headline with "
Sony Hates You."
Responding to a tidal wave of outrage, Sony has reversed a plan to charge $50 to remove all the pre-installed applications — often
derided as "bloatware" or "craplets" — from its high-end TZ-series notebooks. "
There will be no charge for Fresh Start" said the company
spokesman.

20.11.2006OneCare and Defender to
integrate further?
The Windows Live OneCare team
used its blog yesterday to
announce they are currently
working on one of their most
requested feedback:
integration with Windows
Defender, Microsoft's
antispyware utility, still in
beta 2 version.
The first thing they did in
that way is to modify the
OneCare setup so that it also
installs Windows Defender in
the background.
"
For those interested
in the technical details, now,
when you install OneCare, as
long as you accept the default
prompts, the Windows Defender
install itself goes on behind
the scenes, and the Windows
Genuine Advantage check goes
on behind the scenes. During
the Windows Live OneCare
install process, the default
setting is to automatically
install Windows Defender with
automatic updates turned on.
However you will be given the
option to turn off automatic
updates of Defender signatures
or forego the Windows Defender
installation altogether if you
wish. "
The team also said
it will be easy to remove
Defender if wished, though the
didn't say if it'll be
through the usual Add/Remove
Programs or another way (a
button through the OneCare
front-end, for example).
