20.7.2009Windows 7 build 7077 leaks
According to several reports from Neowin members, Windows 7 build 7077 has leaked to various torrent sites. Named as an RC escrow build it's
likely that 7077.0.090404-1255 is the RC that will be modified to 7100 and distributed widely in May. Microsoft confirmed the 7100 path yesterday on
its Engineering Windows 7 blog by advising users to modify the MinClient build number from 7100 to 7000 in order to enable beta to RC upgrades. It is
now expected that Microsoft will name 7100 as the RC build and builds 7105 onwards will be the ongoing development branched towards RTM.

Microsoft: We can Fix that for you
Microsoft Windows operating systems like Windows XP and Windows Vista provide troubleshooting options for errors that occur in your PC and sometimes
provide a link which can have a solution for that error. But finding a proper fix has always been a difficult task for many. Sometimes we may think
why can't Microsoft fix this for me? The Fix-it teams' purpose is to help users fix their problems in a click of a button. The Microsoft KB
articles and the Windows Error Reporting are now fix-it enabled with a list of steps that can be followed to resolve the issue.

Ballmer: Apple's Mac growth is a "rounding error"
Microsoft's CEO Steve Ballmer is a man who's not afraid to talk down his competitors. When Apple initially released the iPhone, he stated that
it had no chance of gaining a significant market share. Now, when speaking to a group of market analysts, he has said that the growth that the
Cupertino company is seeing with their Mac product range can be attributed to a rounding error. Whilst he was at the 2009 Financial Analyst Meeting,
Ballmer said, "Share versus Apple, you know, we think we may have ticked up a little tick, but when you get right down to it, it's a rounding
error.

Wzor is once again reporting that the Windows 7 winmain_win7rc branch has reached 7079. Yesterday build 7077 leaked via BitTorrent and we speculated
this could be the build that would be "renamed" to 7100 for the RC. It appears that isn't the case and Microsoft has built 7078.0.090406-1758
and 7079.0.090407-1902 over the last few days. We still expect Microsoft to name the RC build shortly and all bets are on 7100. Last month Microsoft
hinted at a May public release for the RC.

x64 Kernel patch causes random restarts, fix on the way
Microsoft has disclosed that update 932596, a patch released for the Kernel Patch Protection
feature that is included with x64 versions of Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista, and Windows Server 2008, seems to be causing random restarts on
certain machines. A Stop error is then generated (error code 0x0000001E, 0x000000D1, or another Stop error code). x86 versions of Windows are not
affected since they do not include the Kernel Patch Protection feature (also known as PatchGuard), a technology that is meant to prevent third-party
interventions into the core of the operating system.

Blue Screen of Death Survival Guide: Every Error Explained
Picture this: Its late at night, youre sitting at your computer playing a game or working on a project when, suddenly, Windows freezes completely. All
your work is gone, and you find a blue screen full of gibberish staring back at you. Windows is dead, Jim, at least until you reboot it. You have no
choice but to sigh loudly, shake your fist at Bill Gates and angrily push the reset button. Youve just been visited by the ghost of windows crashed:
The blue screen of death.
Also known as the BSoD, the Blue Screen of Death appears when Windows crashes or locks up. Its actually
a Windows śstopť screen, and is designed to do two things: tell you the reason for the error, and to calm your nerves, hence the use of the color blue
(studies show it has a relaxing effect on people). Though Blue Screens are difficult to decipher, all the information you need to figure out what
caused it is right there in front of you in blue and whiteand thats where we come in. Were going to show you how to dissect the blue screen error
details, so you can fix the problem thats causing them.

Microsoft takes on 404 pages with Live Search
Microsoft plans to convert the 404 error pages on the microsoft.com domain, as well as other websites the company owns, to error pages with Live
Search capabilities. This will allow Microsoft's customers to search for what they were looking for right away, instead of being stuck at a 404
error page that is equivalent to hitting a dead end.
Furthermore, Microsoft has also released a toolkit for webmasters who also
want to transform their 404 pages to search-enabled pages. The 1.13MB Web Page Error
Toolkit, a customizable ASP.net application that replaces the default error page on one's IIS server, is not limited to Live Search; web
admins can choose whichever search engine they prefer.

Why Microsoft Should Fix Its Error Messages In Windows 7
Much of the discussion around Windows 7 has centred around how the interface will change and what features will be removed.
But there's another area Microsoft could improve -- the often cryptic and unhelpful error messages Windows produces -- and it doesn't need a
brand-new development team to do it. Here's some of the most embarrassing examples from Vista, which ideally will get improved or eradicated when
Windows 7 finally appears.

Human error tops the list of security threats
IT managers also say its insider threats that really worry them the most
When it comes to security, human threats score much higher than those
posed by technology. So says a new survey by consulting firm Deloitte of more than 100 technology, media and telecommunications companies
worldwide.
Seventy-five per cent of companies listed human error as the leading cause of security failures such as breakdowns and systems
outages. Forty-eight per cent also cited operations and technology lapses as key causes of security failures. Problems resulting from third parties
such as contractors and business partners, meanwhile, received 28 per cent of the votes as a root cause of security failures.

Programming error gives CT scan patients radiation overdose
In a rather off-the-track technology related report, a hospital named Cedars-Sinai Medical Center has come into a bit of trouble due to problems with
its CT scanner; a programming error has caused the machine to give patients eight times the maximum amount of radiation that's nominal. According
to the LA Times, the hospital recently began utilizing a new protocol in order to create a specialized type of scan used to diagnose strokes, which
unfortunately went a bit wrong. In order to use said protocol, the machine had to be reset, thus overriding the pre-programmed instructions that were
included with the scanner when it was installed.
