23.9.2008 The State of Microsoft Beta Programs
Before I kick off this editorial let me just state that I am no big-time tester and I haven’t even participated in a Windows beta (yet), but I do have some knowledge about such beta programs, I have people who may be considered “big-time” testers that I regularly talk to, and at the moment I’m participating in both the Microsoft Office 2010 Technical Beta and the Office 2010 Technical Preview, which is really the catalyst for me writing this article.

9.10.2009Microsoft cuts apps from Windows 7
Microsoft has decided that Windows 7 won't include built-in programs for e-mail, photo editing, and movie making, as was done with Windows Vista.
The software maker included Windows Photo Gallery, Windows Mail, and Windows Movie Maker as part of Vista, but later chose to offer
separate downloadable Windows Live programs that essentially replaced those components with versions that could connect to online services from
Microsoft and others.

27.12.2007Windows Live Photo Gallery (Beta) includes Flickr Features
In response to users, Microsoft has added the ability to publish photos on Flickr from Windows Live Photo Gallery (Publish menu). The feature is only
available with the latest beta version (2.2 refresh) which must be acquired from Microsoft Update after installing the previous Beta version. As well,
amongst the usual bug fixing, the software giant has removed the WDS (Windows Desktop Search) requirement for installing WLPG on Windows XP. The
catch? It still has to be installed, but can be uninstalled afterwards (assuming you have build 1299.1010 and WDS is not being used by any other
programs). Is Microsoft making the right move by working with a competitor?

04.01.2006Microsoft photo technologies aim big
Microsoft is working on a
variety of innovative photo
projects, ranging from
experiments with its 3D maps
offering to massive panoramic
photos that users can zoom
into for details.
Developers who work in the
company's research arm showed
off the technologies on
Tuesday during the Microsoft
Research Faculty Summit in
Redmond, Washington.
HD View
is one photo project that
definitely has the "wow"
factor. The technology allows
users to combine hundreds of
photos to create one massive
picture that users can zoom in
on to see clear details. In
one example, a panoramic photo
of the city of Seattle
includes 800 images, each 8
megapixals in size, stitched
together to create a 3.6
billion-pixel image.
On a computer screen, it
looks just like a panoramic
photo. So, what's the point
of combining so many photos?
The massive file includes
incredible detail. ..

15.10.2005Is Microsoft working on software center for Windows?
Questions arise as to why Windows Vista and Windows 7 have renamed the "Add and Remove Programs" to "Programs and Features", alongside "Windows
Updates". It is possible that Microsoft is planning to release a software center that will be able to find updates for all your programs that are
deemed safe by Microsoft, right inside Windows Update. This type of software already exists in programs like FileHippo.com's Update Checker that
scans installed programs on your machine, and compares the updated version on FileHippo.com.
