12.05.2006IE Mobile 6 to be available on new WM 6.1 smartphones
Microsoft will be rolling out Windows Mobile 6.1 AKU 1.4 bundled with IE Mobile 6 for all the new Windows Phones until Windows Mobile 6.5 is released.
Glad that Microsoft is upgrading their mobile browser and not delaying it further. Microsoft had decided earlier that IE Mobile 6 will not be made
available as an upgrade or download for existing Windows Phones saying that the current hardware cannot support IE 6. "Regarding making IE Mobile
available as a separate download or update, the rich media experiences that IE Mobile 6 enables require more powerful, advanced devices.

In my eyes, the first keynote was a great success, talking about Microsoft expanding "into the cloud". With the second keynote, we'll be landing

Windows Live Mail to succeed OE, WM, WLMd
With the launch of Windows
Live Hotmail, Microsoft has
announced Windows Live Mail,
the desktop client that is
reportedly meant to succeed
Outlook Express and Vista's
Windows Mail by replacing
Windows Live Mail desktop,
currently in beta. The first
beta build of Windows Live
Mail, available in a few short
weeks, is supposed to
incorporate features of all
three of the aforementioned
applications.
With
the name change there are a
few features that will be
added to the current WLMd
software. First off, an
improved user interface with
Aero support will give you
control of your e-mail,
without any graphical
advertisements. Note that the
loophole for textual ads was
left wide open. Setup and
account migration improvements
should cut down the steps to
get started with the client.
Taking from OE and WM, S/MIME
and LDAP support will be added
to WLM. The new client is also
being touted as faster and
more robust than WLMd. As
before, Windows XP SP2 and
Windows Vista will be the two
supported operating systems.

WinHEC 2008 Kick-Off Keynote
Today was the kick-off for this year's WinHEC conference, bringing together engineers and developers from around the world.
John DeVaan
and Steven Sinofsky took the stage and talked a bit about Windows 7's improvements deep within the software, and also on the hardware side.
He quickly got to the point about the planned release cycle of Windows 7. He said that, unlike Vista, they are committed to shipping reliable
builds of 7, and this time, they will be on time.
Keep reading, and view links to the keynotes by following the "Read More"
link below...
Contrary to popular belief, the same M3 (6801) build that was given to PDC attendees was given to the lucky people
at WinHEC. Also, they have confirmed that unlike many predictions, the first public beta will not be released in December; rather, it will be released
in “early 2009.
To touch the boot time topic, they did a demonstration, showing that even in this early pre-beta build, Windows 7 boots a
few seconds faster than Vista does. Also to improve boot times, Microsoft has made an improvement in the way it loads device drivers; instead of
loading them serially, it loads them in parallel to eliminate a numerous amount of services from starting up at boot.
Trimming down the
CPU usage also meant trimming down quite a few resources. As a result of their compaction efforts, he spent a long time during the keynote
demonstrating that Windows 7 can easily and quickly run on an Asus Eee PC with only 1GB of RAM.
A powerful Operating System, incredibly
fast hardware, crippled with only an hour of battery life is not a computer user’s dream. Microsoft realizes that, and has worked very hard on
fine-tuning Win7’s kernel and tweaking the system clock, all in an effort to achieve the idle state we all long for. Making the CPU idle more often
and longer will definitely boost the life we get out of our batteries.
Aside from all of the core components of Windows that were
presented, was the ‘Device Stage’ and some major improvements in Media Center, such as touch support, the inclusion of the long-rumored “Fiji
functionality, as well as trimming the boot time of Media Center to make it a more comfortable experience.
If you’d like to watch today’s
keynote first-hand, it’s available on the WinHEC site in one of three formats:
