16.1.2008Windows Vista Keygen a Hoax
Thanks to dw2003 for
submitting this to the Front
Page.
KezNews forum
member Computer User ,
quickly infamous for releasing
his Brute Force Keygen to the
world, has confessed the piece
of software isn't all it was
hyped up to be. " Fact is
the brute force keygen is a
joke, I never intended for it
to work. I have never gotten
it to work, everyone should
stop using it! " This is
quite a shocking statement for
the simple reason that many
have already reported that
they have found keys which
activate just fine.
" Everyone who said they
got a key a probably lying or
mistaken! " Either the
author of the program has
decided he does not want to
get in trouble, or he is
genuinely telling the truth.
In short, the generator does
work, but it is a very
impractical crack.

04.03.2007Ballmer: Pirates won't have it easy with Vista
Yesterday a Neowin member
linked to a DIGG article that
was sourcing
this
website with a screenshot
of a supposed key generator
for Windows Vista. Since last
night it has been updated and
the poster claims to of gotten
hold of the keygen in a
non-working state. Elaborate
hoax or the real deal?
The screenshot lower
on
this
page shows DLL errors when
running the keygen and it
clearly states on the web site
that it didn't work. The
crack appears to be of Russian
origin and only time will tell
if Microsoft's "dial in"
feature really has been
circumvented.
Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer
told Wall Street analysts that
the company might "dial up"
the intensity of antipiracy
technology baked into Windows
Vista as part of an effort to
squeeze more revenue from
China, India, Brazil, Russia
and other emerging markets.
Ballmer's comments
came during a conference call
with financial analysts in
which he repeatedly hammered
home the theme that sales
forecasts for Windows -- Vista
in particular -- have been
"overly optimistic."
One way Microsoft can
bump up Windows sales is to
tighten the screws on pirates,
Ballmer said. "Piracy
reduction can be a source of
Windows revenue growth, and I
think we'll make some piracy
improvements this year."
"We have new
technologies built into
Windows Vista, something we
call Windows Genuine Advantage
we've really dialed up
in capabilities with the Vista
release," he said. "I do
think that will bring some
revenue growth. We will have
strong growth in the Windows
business in emerging markets:
China, India, Brazil, Russia
and many others. Those markets
are very high piracy."

Application Specific Glass Colorization in Windows 7?
Microsoft might be introducing application specific glass renderings. The color of the glass frame around a window can be changed in Vista, but the
change is global to the system. The color of any particular window glass frame can not be set by choice. But, how about being able to change the
color/opacity level of a the glass frame of any application through defined events or commands? According to a Patent number 7418668:
A
method for changing a color value and/or level of opacity value of a glass appearance window frame for an application window is described. The method
includes steps of determining a defined color value and a defined level of opacity value to apply to a glass appearance window frame and displaying
the glass appearance window frame in accordance with the defined color value and the defined level of opacity value. A command may be received to
apply the defined color value and the defined level of opacity value to the glass appearance window frame, thereby applying the defined color value
and level of opacity value to the glass appearance window frame. Color values and/or level of opacity values may be changed automatically, be
application specific, and/or be changed in response to receipt of an input from a user to change one or more portions of a default configuration.

10 Ways Vista is more annoying with Windows 7 available
We all know Windows Vista got a bit of a bum rap. Its biggest sin was that it shipped earlier than it should and its reputation has never recovered.
However, with Windows 7 now out, those of us who have to switch between PCs now find ourselves discovering completely new things about Windows Vista
that are annoying -- because they are things that Windows 7 made so much better. Here's our list... #1 "Program not responding" Windows
Vista loved to throw programs under the bus for not responding. This was especially true of Windows Explorer which regularly would fade out a window
because it was trying to access a network resource.

Microsoft readying RC of Vista SP2 for February 2009
Citing a source at Microsoft, Techarp has revealed that Microsoft is targeting a release candidate (RC) version of Windows Vista SP2 for February

in late October but Microsoft has been quiet since then. TechArp also believes the RTM of Vista SP2 will be in April 2009. Microsoft is readying SP2
so there are additional incentives for customers to upgrade to Window Vista now, instead of waiting for Windows 7.

How to fix Vista's network bottlenecks
As much as I enjoy using Vista, I've definitely noticed that in some networking activities, it definitely seems to struggle. Particularly compared
with Windows XP.
For the most part it's not a problem - I just assumed that Vista's beefy network stack was responsible, and made a
mental note to fix it at some point. And then forgot.
But recently I encountered a really frustrating problem. Using Remote Desktop
Protocol (RDP) to connect from a Vista Enterprise machine to a Windows 2003 server, the performance was so woeful that I was starting to worry whether
there was a problem with the server.
As it happens, my fears about the server were unfounded, but the thought that Vista's networking
stack was to blame turned out to be correct. The Next Generation TCP/IP stack in Windows Vista supports something called Receive Window Auto-Tuning.
This is nothing to do with the RDP "window" you see on the screen, but rather a TCP buffer which TCP/IP clients use to ensure smooth
transmission.

Vista Users: Beware of the Firewall
The Internet Engineering Task
Force recently held its 68th
meeting in the
beautiful-but-cloudy city of
Prague. At that meeting, Dave
Thaler, who works at Microsoft
and is a member of the IETF's
architecture board, the IAB,
talked about what Microsoft
ran into when revising the
Windows TCP/IP stack for
Vista. The result: Network
connectivity may fail when you
try to use Windows Vista
behind a firewall device
(Microsoft Knowledge Base
article 934430).
What's this all
about? There are actually two
issues at play.
After XP shipped,
Microsoft wanted to take the
opportunity to add some new
TCP features to
Longhorn/Vista's IP stack.
The most troublesome new
feature is ECN, or Explicit
Congestion Notification. ECN
is specified in RFC 3168,
published shortly after
Windows XP's release in 2001.
The idea is that when there is
congestion on the network
because too much traffic wants
to flow through a certain
connection, it would be good
if the router would tell the
hosts sending all this traffic
that there's congestion so
they can slow down a bit.

5 Mistakes Microsoft made with Windows Vista
Windows Vista has kind of
gotten a bum rap. Some of the
rap is deserved -- Microsoft
shipped it too early. But for
the most part, the rap is
carried on by vocal techies
who just like to poop on
things because they think
criticizing things makes them
appear more knowledgeable.
Talking to a techie

mainstream software is a lot
like talking to a film school
graduate about the quality of

you might have liked
Pirates of the Caribbean but
talk to a film snob and it's

Apocalypse. So how good is
Windows Vista? The answer is,
pretty good. Far better than
Windows XP. But I can think of
5 big mistakes Microsoft made
that has taken a window out of
its sails.

ME.

Patent reveals Aero Glass reflections was also to change according to time of day
Is there a possibility that
we may see this idea as a
future Ultimate Extra or as a
feature in Vista SP1? Only
time will tell...
Dont read this if you are
easily disappointed or are
already disappointed with
Windows Vista compared to
Longhorn, since it just adds
more fuel to the flame. A
patent application filed
yesterday (May 31) reveals a
little more about the other
ideas Microsoft had for Aero
Glass.
The key
characteristics of Aero Glass,
colorization and reflection,
are explained in two separate
patents,
"http://appft1.uspto.gov/neta
cgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect
2=HITOFF&d=PG01&p=1&u=%2Fnetah
tml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.html&r=1&f
=G&l=50&s1=%2220070124692%22.P
GNR.&OS=DN/20070124692&RS=DN/2
0070124692>Glass appearance
window fram colorization" and
"http://appft1.uspto.gov/neta
cgi/nph-Parser?Sect1=PTO1&Sect
2=HITOFF&d=PG01&p=1&u=%2Fnetah
tml%2FPTO%2Fsrchnum.html&r=1&f
=G&l=50&s1=%2220070124691%22.P
GNR.&OS=DN/20070124691&RS=DN/2
0070124691>Dynamic reflective
highlighting of a glass
appearance window frame." The
latter brings up an
interesting idea, it writes:
As described
above, a reflective highlight
of a glass appearance of an
application window frame may
be configured to change during
a move and/or resize operation
based on a set of rules that
describe a reflective
highlight images placement
relative to the current
position of the application
window within a desktop space.
Concurrently or alternatively,
a reflective highlight may be
configured to change in
response to a time of day
event.
If youre
not familiar with the
techno-babble-patent-language,
what it means is that the
reflection in Aero Glass (the
white stripes) was designed to
change based on the position
of the application window on
the desktop, on the time of
day, or both.

Windows 7 Beta 1 has problems with XP Display Drivers (XDDM)
I've been enjoying Windows 7 so much over the past week, that I've been evangelizing it to all of my friends. One friend with a Dell Inspiron
710m decided to take the plunge. Windows 7 installation went well, but we can't find any compatible display drivers for the Intel 855gm graphics
card. The graphics card in question doesn't support Windows Vista or Window 7's new WDDM driver model, but Windows Vista shipped with XDDM
drivers for this card out of the box. I feel that Windows 7 should have all of the same in-box drivers as Vista, and it's a bummer that this one
is not included.

PINNED: WLM Build 566 Comming
Soon
Remember that little talk
about how the 562 build of
Windows Live Messenger was
just a preview; well here
comes the bride... I mean the
build. Build 566 of WLM is to
be released on February 28th
according to the WLM team
blog.
The
build will feature some
noticeable updates, mainly the
layout of the Contact List,
the tabs have now been
repositioned inside the main
window, the spacing between
each contact has been reduced
to allow more contacts to be
viewable in the window (= less
scrolling) and the avatar
preview and display
name/personal messages boxes
are finally back to the left
side again.
A
few of the minor updates
include the fact that the
menus are now only available
through the drop down menu,
meaning you can no longer
expand or minimize the window
frame like before. Also, the
ink/type tabs in the
conversation window have been
moved to the right side closer
to your display picture.
It has also been
announced that the WLM team is
working on new status icons
that both look good and show
the status at the same
time.

Power efficiency enhancements in Vista SP1
Long Zheng: Most if not all the attention surrounding Windows Vista Service Pack 1 has been around performance, reliability and compatibility, but you
probably didnt know SP1 also makes short strides in terms of Vistas power efficiency. And by short, I really do mean short because were talking about improvements in the magnitude of only a
couple percents. That in the context of 5 hours battery life is a mere additional 6 minutes. Having said that, some is better than none.
The first of two improvements is in the display subsystem. As you are probably aware of, the Desktop Window Manager (DWM) in Vista utilities
the 3D rendering capabilities of your graphics card to draw the desktop and windows.

Trojan, distributed over torrent, blocks torrent sites
A trojan named Troj/Qhost-AC, has been spotted on torrent sites labeled as a keygen for popular software. But in a strange surprise, the trojan would
modify the users host file, rather than generating a key, changing popular torrent web sites like, The Pirate Bay, Suprbay (The Pirate Bay forum) and
Mininova, the two most popular torrent sites on the internet to 127.0.0.1, making it impossible to visit these sites. The Trojan caused pop-ups on
users screens and played a sound file saying "downloading is wrong". The Trojan didn't install any other spyware or malware onto the victims
PC, other than blocking the three web sites, something that many users thought was strange.

War breaks out between AdBlock Plus and NoScript
A quiet war has broken out between the authors of AdBlock Plus and NoScript and money is on the table. Both are trying to outdo each other by
disabling each other's functionality. The issue at stake is NoScript's behavior of showing a changelog window whenever it gets a new update,
which of late has been updated rather frequently. And unsurprisingly, that changelog window is filled with ads that generate revenue for NoScript.
AdBlock Plus on the other hand is commited to blocking ads regardless of where they are from; and this has treaded on the tail of the author of
NoScript.
