30.9.2007 Top 10 Windows Freeware tools for 2005
As we head into 2005’s home stretch, I thought I’d do a round-up of my top 10 pieces of Windows Freeware for 2005. Some of these aren’t new, but certainly what I’d consider essential. Some on the other hand, are new. I’ve tried to avoid the instantly popular ones like Firefox and Opera, although I did give way to Winamp and Konfabulator in the end. But hey, it’s my top 10. If you don’t like it, post your own.

If you're a web developer, you'll hopefully be aware that there are many helpful (and free) tools designed to progress your quest for an epic

Mozilla's fed up of this, and has set out to build one of their own, according to MoMB (via the folks at TechCrunch). Mozilla has posted an entry
on their official blog regarding the new site, with Ben Galbraith saying, "There are an immense number of tools that have been created to help web

James Gosling, Sun vice president and fellow, told
Register Developer that Sun is working to ensure interoperability - rather than provide its own design tools.
"We are
putting a lot of effort into interoperability with the Adobe tools - a lot of the Adobe tools are wired into the neurons of the artists of the
world," he said. "We are not trying to be a completely isolated island that has all the tools for everybody."

29.11.2007Hidden Vista tools
If Sven Hallauer ever has a moment to reflect in his Redmond office, he can feel quietly pleased with himself.
As the release
manager for Vista, he had overall responsibility during the development period for the success of the ˜Most Secure Windows Ever project.
For Hallauer, however, the flexibility of the new operating system is just as important as the security features. In particular, Vista is
equipped with far better admin tools than previous versions. Previously, administrators were forced to add tools from Resource Kits, but now Vista
comes with a lot of tools already on board, as well explain later.
You can tell just by looking at the increased minimum hardware
requirements that theres a lot more in the new version of Windows. It used to be possible to keep an installation of Windows 95 under 200MB, but Vista
requires 40 times more hard disk space. Even in comparison to Windows XP, Vista needs five times more space.

make us all shake our heads. If you run Windows Vista, you were shaking your head and in many cases, very upset about the situation of not having the
proper tools to perform administration of your Windows Server 2003 or Windows Server 2008 network and Active Directory environment. Now, with the
recent release of the Remote Server Administrative Tools (RSAT), the wait is over. This article describes some idiosyncrasies, installation steps, and

Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 enables IT administrators to manage roles and features that are installed on remote computers that

running Windows 7.
It includes support for remote management of computers that are running either the Server Core or full
installation options of Windows Server 2008 R2, and for some roles and features, Windows Server 2008. Some roles and features on Windows Server 2003
can be managed remotely by using Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7, although the Server Core installation option is not available with
the Windows Server 2003 operating system.
This feature is comparable in functionality to the Windows Server 2003 Administrative

12.08.2009PC Tools wins battle against Zango
A court has denied Zango's
application for a Temporary
Restraining Order which sought
to compel security software
provider PC Tools to entirely
remove the detection of its
products by PC Tools' Spyware
Doctor, claiming that it
interferes with Zango's
(formerly known as
180solutions) software. US
District Judge John C.
Coughenour stated: " The
Court finds it unlikely that
will be able to prove
that software was
unfair or deceptive given that
users knowingly download software to avoid
potential malware. classification is not
unreasonable given Zango's
past conduct and in light of
other companies' similar
classification of the
plaintiff's
software ."
" Zango's attempts to
pursue and compel us into
reclassifying through legal
action, rather than following
due process, is not going to
get them anywhere and is
certainly not the way to
rehabilitate their
image ," said Simon
Clausen, chief executive at PC
Tools.
Zango said
in its company blog that
" while the Temporary
Restraining Order paperwork
was denied today, the
essential relief Zango sought
in its motion was in effect
granted - by PC Tools
itself " as the latest
version of Spyware Doctor
neither eliminates nor blocks
Zango software. Zango has said
that the lawsuit against PC
Tools will proceed, as issues
like damages remain
unresolved.
