10.4.2007Sun's ODF plugin for MS Office now available
The Sun ODF Plug-in is an
extension to Microsoft Office
that allows it to read and
write ISO standard ODF files.
It supports Office 2000, XP,
and 2003, and works on Windows
XP and Vista. It adds to MS
Office the ability to read and
write ODF text, spreadsheet,
and presentation files (.odt,
.ods, and .odp) - the ISO
standard editions of MS Word,
Excel, and PowerPoint files.
Furthermore, ODF text
files (.odt) can be made the
default format for MS-Word
thanks to this plug-in (and
double-clicking on an ODF text
file on the desktop would
automatically open it in
MS-Word).
Addressing
the accessibility concerns of
existing MS-Office users was
one of the key reasons behind
Sun's development of the ODF
plug-in, and I have been one
of several folks involved in
testing the accessibility of
this plug-in (along with
several beta testers whose
employees with disabilities
were likewise doing
accessibility testing).

machine by British magazine PC

According to

weeks' time, the 3GHz Mac Pro
was run alongside a Pentium
D-based machine. The Mac Pro
has two dual-core Xeon 5160
CPUs, 4GB of DDR 2 memory
mounted on FB-DIMMs, a Quadro
FX 4500 graphics card and
1.75TB of hard disk capacity.
Windows XP was installed on

05.10.2006Windows XP Service Pack 3 RC2 via Windows Update (Public Availability Program)
Windows XP Service Pack 3 Release Candidate 2 is available to the public. Specific registry settings will allow you to be offered SP3 via Windows
Update.
Download the script and run it on a machine currently running Windows XP Service Pack 2. The script sets a registry key
on your system. The registry key is required for Windows Update to recognize your machine as a valid target for Windows XP Service Pack 3 RC2.
Versions of Windows XP Service Pack 3 prior to Release Candidate 2 should be removed before attempting to use the registry key.
Windows Update will not offer Release Candidate 2 to machines with previous versions of the Windows XP Service Pack 3 beta.
It is
recommended that you apply the resulting update package to an activated, genuine copy of Windows XP, in a test environment. As with any pre-release
software, it is also recommended that you back up files and settings on your machine before applying this update package.

20.02.2008Microsoft tweaks anti-piracy check for Windows XP
Microsoft has updated software that verifies whether a copy of Windows is genuine in its Windows XP Professional edition, making it similar to the
notification in Windows Vista and thus more persistently visible to users. In a blog posting attributed to Alex Kochis, a Microsoft director of
product marketing and management, the company said it made the changes to the Windows Genuine Notification (WGA) alerts for XP Pro because it is
"the product edition that is most often stolen."
Now when a version of Windows XP Pro is found to be pirated or counterfeit, the next
time a user logs on to the system, the desktop screen background will be black, replacing whatever custom desktop may have been set by the user. This
will reappear every 60 minutes, even if a user resets the screen's background. Previously, this was not a part of the WGA notification for Windows
XP Pro.

27.08.2008Windows XP a hot item on Amazon
Although Microsoft
officially stopped selling Windows XP as of June 30, retailers can keep selling it as long as they have copies.
Perhaps as a
result of its potentially impending scarcity, XP is near the top of
Amazon.com's software list, with the full
version of XP Home at No. 15 and the full version of XP Pro at No. 21.
The highest ranked Vista edition doesn't crack the top
25, although it does come on nearly all new PCs these days so most people don't need a boxed copy.

(or any customers as far as we
could tell).

16.05.2006How to Delete a Windows Service in Vista or XP
If you are a fan of tweaking your system and disabling services, you might find that over time your Windows Services list becomes huge and unwieldy
with a large number of services in the list that will never be enabled.
Instead of just disabling a service, you can
alternatively completely delete the service. This technique can be especially helpful if you've installed some piece of software that doesn't
uninstall correctly, and leaves an item in the service list.

26.09.2008Microsoft decides Vista is flawless
Microsoft may have released a beta of Vista's Service Pack 1 - but according to the company's official support site, the operating system is
absolutely flawless.
When Word crashed on a disgruntled PC Pro reader, he dutifully agreed to fill in the online form to report
the crash.
However, when he went to select his operating system from the list, he found that Vista wasn't listed -
click here to see the
errant form.
We can only draw one of two conclusions: either Microsoft's support staff have sloppily forgotten to add Vista
to the online support forms, or else they truly believe the operating system is invincible.
Although judging by the complaints
that regularly fill our inbox, the latter seems decidedly unlikely.

31.10.2007XP Gets Yet Another Life
Escaping the grasp of death once again, Windows XP gets another 5 years of life! While they still plan to end mainstream support for Windows XP Pro on
April 14, 2009, HP says that Microsoft is still giving OEMs the option to install XP on their machines for one more year, until April 30, 2010.
XP Extended Support (strictly security updates; nothing else) will; run all the way until April 8, 2014! They say that they hate extending dates
time and time again, and strongly encourage customers to upgrade to Vista (at least) or Windows 7. But with all these extensions, maybe somewhere deep
down in the heart of Redmond, there's a bit of nostalgia that just can't let go of good ol' Windows XP.

07.04.2009Vista licence options make Macs look cheap
A UK property asset management
company is examining Apple

giant's aggressive licensing
options.
Capital &
Regional has about 700 PC
users and currently runs
Windows XP Pro and Office XP
Pro, Chief Information Officer
Richard Snooks has hit out
Microsoft's aggressive
licensing policies.
"We are feeling the pinch
of the aggressive revenue
targets of Microsoft," Snooks
said. "We are asking
ourselves, 'Are they
(Microsoft) fit for our
business?'"
In
particular, Snooks isn't
convinced by the arguments for
upgrading to Microsoft's
latest Windows operating
system, Vista, and is actively
looking at alternatives,
including a small trial of a
Suse Linux desktop inside the
IT department. ..

11.07.2007Hardware thin-client turns XP Home, Linux into 10-user terminal server
Local firm
MUPtech showcased its proprietary thin-client hardware to turn an Win XP Home
and XP Pro system into a multi-user server, running up to 10 remote clients per machine using ultra-thin set-top-boxes as clients instead of full
PCs.
The firm sells these thin black boxes which the company calls "MUP-PC" which are connected to the main "server" -
actually any PC capable of running XP Home or XP Pro - over Ethernet. Each box features connectors for Audio, VGA video, and PS2 keyboard and mouse.
The hardware also supports Linux.
The host PC runs a proprietary software "server" which turns a standard XP Home or XP Pro
into a multi-user server. It would be like Citrix or Terminal Services but without a PC on the client side, replaced instead with this black box.
Where have I heard of this before? Oh yes,
Sun Ray thin clients. Basically this is like having a VNC client in a set-top box, to which you can hook a PS2 keyboard, mouse
and speakers. Their technology is proprietary, though.

You probably know about the "hidden" administrator account in Windows XP. It's the only account on XP systems on which no other accounts have been
created. Until you add a new account, you zip right to the desktop when you boot the OS, with no stop at the Welcome screen. Once you set up one or
more new accounts, the default administrator disappears, though you can bring it back in both XP Home and Pro (more on this below).
