Sprint Unveils Movie Download Service
While some have questioned the viability of full-length video content on small screens, it appears that Sprint Nextel is concerned with none of that. The wireless provider on Monday launched a new service that will allow its cellular users to view full-length television shows, movies, concerts, and specials.
Sprint has called on MSpot, a California-based mobile entertainment company founded last year, to provide the service. Subscribers with compatible video cell phones will be able to add the feature to their wireless plans for an additional $6.95 uSD per month.

09.10.2008Microsoft 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

23.09.2008Free video-editing software
Peter Butler: One of the most frequent questions I get from
CNET Download.com users is
"What free software can I use to
edit
video?" If I didn't respond to you personally, it's likely because there's not an easy answer. It depends on what type of video you have, and
what you want to do with it.
Let's start with the basics. If you didn't know, you likely already have
Windows Movie Maker, which was
included with
Windows XP Service Pack 2,
and recently beefed up for Windows Vista.
The XP version of Movie Maker is adequate for putting together clips into larger
videos, adding simple transitions, and making basic edits, but I can't recommend the experience. The
review on CNET Download.com is overly harsh, but it
encapsulates several problems you may encounter.

17.10.2007Microsoft tactics push India toward Linux
One of India's 28 states plans to distribute 100,000 Linux laptops to students there. It sounds like Tamil Nadu's volume purchasing agent decided to
use Linux exclusively after being put off by Microsoft's bundling tactics for academic users.
The laptops will be purchased in
volume by Electronics Corporation of Tamil Nadu (ELCOT), which works as a volume purchaser for students in the state. Tamil Nadu is the Southern-most
of India's 28 states, and home to the technology center of Chennai (formerly known as "Madras"). ELCOT says it will purchase more than 100,000
laptops this year, selling them to Indian students for about $800, a considerable mark-down compared to retail value, it says.

02.07.2008Vista Pushes Volume Licensing
During Microsoft's annual
financial analysts conference
today, the company's chief
operating officer boasted
about increases in Windows
volume licensing.
It's the "best rate
we've seen in many, many
years," Kevin Turner said of
annuity licensing contracts.
He acknowledged that Windows
Vista Enterprise and MDOP
(Microsoft Desktop
Optimization Pack) were major
drivers. Both products can
only be purchased by way of
volume licensing contract. By
contrast, Windows XP
Professional and supporting
tools could be purchased
without a volume licensing
contract.
Turner said that about 42
millions PCs are covered by
volume licensing. Among
midsize businesses and
enterprise, Windows annuity
contract penetration is 19
percent, he said.
"I think it moved a point
of two." Turner said about
Windows volume licensing
increases.
Historically, about 80
percent of Windows client
revenue comes from OEMs.
Microsoft wants to shiftsome
could say forcecustomers to
volume licensing, which would
further smooth out
Microsoft's balance sheet.

27.07.2007About those 100 million Vista licenses¦
Ed Bott: My colleague Mary Jo Foley
reported earlier today on Microsofts
claim that it has sold 100 million retail copies of Windows Vista. During Bill Gates keynote address last night I
heard him say, œIm pleased to
say that weve got over 100 million people using Vista now.
Thats a stretch.
I tracked down a Microsoft
spokesperson today who was just as surprised as I was to hear that sentence coming from the keynote stage. The spokesperson confirmed for me that
those 100 million copies represent licenses, not confirmed users. And the total includes copies sold through all channels, including those
preinstalled on OEM computers, copies sold as retail upgrades or full packaged product (FPP), and volume licenses sold to corporate customers.

26.01.2007Microsoft: 88 Million Copies of Vista Shipped
Despite frequent reports of Windows Vista being a failure, Microsoft Corporation has now shipped 88 million copies of its latest operating system,
almost double the number of copies of XP in the same amount of time at its launch. CFO Chris Liddell credited strong sales in emerging markets, due in
part to anti-piracy and legalization programs there. Microsoft had previously said that it had shipped 20 million copies of Vista in its first month,
40 million copies of Vista in the first 100 days, and 60 million in late July.
Three-quarters of the copies sold of Vista were Home Premium
editions. The 88 million figure mostly includes Vista-installed PCs bought by consumers and small businesses, as well as packaged copies of Vista sold
in stores or online. It does exclude the tens of millions of Windows corporate volume licenses. There, many enterprises continue to hold off on
deploying Vista, acknowledged CFO Chris Liddell, though he expects them to start deploying it when Vista Service Pack 1 arrives in the first quarter
of next year. Nevertheless, revenue from companies renewing their volume licenses for Windows, which gives them the right to upgrade to Vista, was up
27%.

21.03.2007Volume Activation 2.0: Another Potential Vista Gotcha?
Windows Genuine Advantage
(WGA) isn't the only
Microsoft anti-piracy scheme
that might raise the hackles
of future Vista customers.
Volume Activation 2.0 is
worrying some Vista testers
who've had a chance to dabble
with early versions of that
technology.
Potential false positives -
Microsoft labeling legitimate
copies of Windows as
"pirated" - akin to those
which have been documented in
WGA by Windows expert Ed Bott
and others, are just one
problem business users are
anticipating with Volume
Activation 2.0. Increased
costs resulting from the
management of Volume
Activation systems is another,
they say.
For those
who've yet to hear about it,
Volume Activation is a new
digital-license activation
technology aimed at
businesses. It's part of the
larger "Software Protection
Platform" that Microsoft is
constructing to combat piracy.
In short, Microsoft is not
going to allow enterprises to
operate on an honor system,
when it comes to proving how
many copies of Windows
they've paid to license. Just
like it does with individual
Windows users, Microsoft is
going to start requiring
companies to authenticate
their new versions of Windows
within 30 days of
installing.
