06.12.2008Leaked Vista Hotfixes to be broadly available in the near future
Microsoft Corp. confirmed
today that the Vista hot-fix
packs that have leaked to the
Web will be issued to all
users.
"We
plan to make these two updates
broadly available via Windows
Update in the near future," a
company spokeswoman said in an
e-mail.
The
two updates, dubbed "Vista
Performance and Reliability
Pack" and "Vista
Compatibility and Reliability
Pack," were posted over the
weekend to a third-party
download site after being
leaked from a group of Windows
Server 2008 testers. The list
of fixes -- which include
performance improvements to
Vista's sleep mode and speed
increases in copying or moving
large directories -- led some
users yesterday to speculate
that the updates were the
forerunner of Vista Service
Pack 1 (SP1), a major upgrade
that many businesses want to
see before they widely deploy
the new operating system. ..

01.08.2007Windows 7 Media Center Review
Engadget: We've been waiting a long time for this and it's finally here, the latest version of Windows Media Center. Well, we really stopped waiting
a few months ago
when the release
candidate hit, but waited on composing our thoughts until after we had a chance to play with
the RTM copy. For the most part, as you'd expect
the RTM build is identical to the RC, sans the bugs, but there are plenty of upgrades over Vista Media Center. Many of these new features
were also in the TV Pack, but in our book that
doesn't count. For starters it was OEM only, and thus you could only get it (legitimately) by buying a new PC, but the real reason is because it was
so buggy, it was beyond usable. In fact we still stand by
the theory that the TV Pack was
nothing more than an early preview for OEMs of the new guts of Windows 7 Media Center. Gladly that is all behind us now, so keep reading to find
out what gets us excited about Windows 7 Media Center...

08.08.2007The 3rd feature pack for Vista is arriving...
Microsoft will release a new Windows Feature Pack for Storage which contains 3 technologies:
- Active Storage Platform : enables the
Windows platform to restrict access to portable devices (such as a USB Flash Device) via a certificate or password authentication based on the IEEE
1667 standard specification.
- Image Mastering API update for Blu-Ray media : enables the Windows platform to do master style optical
burning on Blu-Ray media.
- Smart Card Driver : provides support for new form factors, such as ICCD/CCID.
Windows Feature
Pack for Storage will be available for the following operating systems: Windows Vista, Windows Vista SP1, Windows Server 2008, Windows XP SP2+,
Windows Server 2003 SP1+. Smartcard on XP is only available in 32 bit.
The Windows Feature pack for Storage won’t be the first Vista
feature pack. Microsoft has released, in addition to the previously mentioned optical feature pack, the
Windows Vista Feature Pack for Wireless and the
Windows Media Center TV Pack.
Feature packs are a way for Microsoft
to get new features to users without making them wait for the next major Windows release. Unlike Service Packs, which typically are more about bug
fixes than new features, feature packs are, as the name suggests, the delivery vehicle for new, between-release, features.
