08.11.2008Microsoft getting ready for Windows 7 marketing?
Microsoft sure has been hitting hard at the competition lately with their latest round of "Laptop Hunters" ads with success, and now as we get
closer towards the final version of Windows 7, it looks like Microsoft is preparing the latest "I'm a PC" marketing featuring Windows 7. This
photo of the sticker was first revealed by our own Neowin reporter Tom Warren, and while Windows 7 hasn't been featured in the TV ads yet, I
suspect it will soon appear in the next few months. Box art and pricing for Windows 7 has also yet to be revealed, but when they are, we'll be
sure to share them, so stay tuned.

Microsoft officials say they are investigating reports that files the company deployed this summer prevent Windows XP users who run a built-in

"We are aware of reports about
customers not being able to download some updates from Windows Update when using the latest version of the Windows Update client and after
reinstalling Windows XP system files from CD," a Microsoft spokesperson said Sept. 27. "We take this issue very seriously and are investigating the

04.01.2008Windows 7: Build 7057 blocks third-party video codecs
The latest beta of Windows 7 blocks the usage of third party video decoders from Windows Media Player and MCE. Albain, a DirectShow (ffdshow)
developer explains in his own words what he encountered when he was testing the multimedia pipeline of Windows 7 in the latest build 7057.
"Microsoft has locked mpeg4 and h264 codecs into Media Foundation, the replacer of DirectShow (even if directshow is still supported).There is no way
to override those codecs, even if you develop a Media Foundation version of your decoder, because Microsoft maintains a list of preferred codecs
(their codecs) into the registry (HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT and HKLM \MediaFoundation\Transforms\Preferred), and this registry key cannot be
modified, even in admin mode.
