Tooltips, those little yellow popup boxes that provide information on a button or menu option, have become an indispensable part of the modern user interface. Now, Microsoft is looking to extend their usefulness by introducing what it calls "Super Tooltips" in the upcoming release of Office 12.
The next-generation Office suite from Microsoft is already slated to bring a major UI makeover. Standard toolbars have been replaced with task-oriented "Ribbons" that include features pertinent to the current job. But such a change will require a learning curve, which is where the new larger tooltips come in.

announce the finalisation of Windows 7 at the annual Worldwide Partner Conference on Monday providing there are no last minute recompiles. Windows 7
has been in development since mid to late 2008 and build 7600 will mark the end of the beta phase and on to servicing and then general availability on

12.07.2009Internet Explorer is now an optional feature in Windows 7
Along with various other changes that are to be reflected in Windows 7 RC, here is a big change that is not in the list. From Windows 7 build 7048,
Internet Explorer(IE) is an optional Windows feature and can be installed/uninstalled from Windows 7. This will be a welcoming (and surprising) news,
especially to European Union and Opera who have accused Microsoft for not giving consumers a genuine choice of Web browsers. If IE is upgraded to
version 8 in Vista (from version 7), users do get an option to uninstall IE 8, but not IE 7. IE 7 remains as integral component of Windows Vista which
cannot be removed.

04.03.2009WLM Feature: Update!
Does Live Messenger?s new
feature ?Music Mix? work for
you?
It seems
that yet another flashy
feature for Windows Live
Messenger might end up being
just like the last.
It seems not many
people have had much luck with
getting ?Shared Folders? to
work, and ?Music Mix? appears
to be no different. After
trying different methods to
make the feature work, I spoke
with a member of the Windows
Live Messenger Beta team
concerning problems with the
feature.
Now
we have reason to believe that
problems with the ?Music Mix?
might be due to Locale
Settings, therefore you would
have to change your locale to
match a country that supports
the feature. Currently ?Music
Mix? is only available in the
US, France, Germany, Japan,
and the UK.

17.01.2006MSN Gets Another Feature!
Just when you thought there
wouldn't be anything else
interesting for messenger to
surface, think again! The good
people from the Live Messenger
Beta Team have once again
launched yet another feature.
"Mimic" is
the new feature that was just
launched today for MSN
Messenger.
Accessible from the
activities menu just like the
last feature "Music Mix,"
"Mimic" is an add-on that is
for people that enjoy playing
pranks on their friends. This
new feature is also good for
people that just want to
pretend they are someone
they're really not. Along
with this feature there are 8
different ?personas? to choose
from.
At this
point it hasn't been
clarified as to when "Mimic"
will be available for Windows
Live Messenger. After the
Windows Live Messenger team
released the "Music Mix"
feature to work with MSN, we
can only hope that they add
"Mimic" soon to Live
Messenger!

feature without any user-interface specifically to invoke it. As with all features this is a collaboration across all of our engineering disciplines.
For this post, Stephan Hoefnagels, a Senior UX designer, presents the design perspective.

17.03.2009Sparkle produces the first 80 nanometre Nvidia card
MANY businesses in Europe will
be closed from Monday till
probably January the 3rd 2007.
That hasn't stopped Sparkle
from announcing its Calibre
P768 card based on Geforce
7600 GT 80nm chip. I guess
Nvidia had to do it in 2006 as
it promised to its investors
it was supposed to shift from
90 nanometre to 80 a while
ago.
The new 80
nanometre parts will end up
clocked at 650MHz - 90MHz
faster than the previous 7600
GT clock. The chip behind it
is G73 but we don't know what
Nvidia calls the new 80
nanometre ones. The memory on
Sparkle card works at 1600MHz
and Nvidia hasn't changed the
chip memory support as it
still works with 128 bit
memory only. The card comes
with 256MB memory and has
twelve rendering pipelines. It
supports PCIe 16X interface.

17.05.2008The 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.
