28.04.2006Microsoft Takes XP Starter
Edition To Egypt, Turkey
Microsoft added two
new versions of its bare-bones
Windows XP Starter Edition
Tuesday, one in Arabic for the
Egyptian market, the other
targeted at
Turkey.
St
arter Edition is a pared-down
operating system that
Microsoft introduced last year
aimed at countries where
piracy is rampant and incomes
are low. Counting the new
editions released Tuesday,
Starter Edition is now
available in nine languages
and 32
countries.
The
Arabic and Turkish versions
will be distributed in
partnership with the
governments of Egypt and
Turkey, respectively.
"Building on our joint
success in the Affordable PC
Initiative 'PC for Every
Home' that has delivered more
than a quarter of a million
PCs to Egyptian homes, we
anticipate the new Windows XP
Starter Edition will provide
wider and more affordable
technology access to the
masses," said Dr. Tare Kamel,
minister of communications for
the Arab Republic of Egypt, in
a
statement.

pricing information for the
two versions. ..

16.11.2005XP Home Edition Support
Extended to 2008
For the past 2 weeks, the
Windows community has been
buzzing with news that
Microsoft was scheduled to
halt support for XP Home at
the end of this year.
(Apparently, Microsoft never
expected that its next Windows
release would take so long to
ship.) Well, the crisis is
over.
Microsoft
this week revealed that it has
extended support for XP Home
(and a few other XP editions
whose support was also
scheduled to be terminated
this year) to "2 years after
the next version of
is released,"
according to the company. If
Vista ships on schedule at the
end of the year, that means
that Microsoft will continue
supporting XP Home through
late 2008. That's not too
shabby.
Note
that Microsoft's
business-oriented Windows
products have much lengthier
support life cycles. Microsoft
is supporting XP Professional,
for example, through
2011.

Windows Server 2003 - XP
Conversion Pack
Windows Server 2003 is well
known for its superior speed,
stability, and security when
compared to Windows XP. This
fact is proven by
Microsoft's use of the
Windows Server 2003 kernel in
both Windows x64 Edition and
the upcoming Windows Vista.
Given this fact, it's no
wonder that many Windows users
have already switched to
Windows Server 2003 to gain
such improvements. However,
these users will have no doubt
also discovered that
compatibility issues are
common when using Windows
Server 2003 as a primary
home-use OS. Until Now... We
are proud to present version
2.0 of Windows X's
popular Windows Server 2003 -
XP Conversion Pack. This tool
will convert the Windows 2003
codebase from ServerNT to
WinNT, which will enable
locked features and transform
Windows Server 2003 into a
more compatible, and usable OS
like Windows XP. After
converting, your OS will
perform like Windows XP
Professional x64 Edition.
Finally you can gain all the
advantages of running Windows
Server 2003, without the
compatibility headaches!..

Microsoft Taking Official Petitions to Keep XP Alive
If you can remember back a few weeks, Steve Ballmer went on record saying that Microsoft would consider extending the life of Windows XP if enough
people asked for it. Afterall, many people don't want to upgrade to Windows Vista because they are perfectly content with XP. The problem was
there was no way to ask for it. Sure, you could sign one of the many online petitions, but Microsoft considers those "non-official complaints" and
the rest of us simply consider them silly.
Well, word has been passed down to the tech support teams (and then on to Neowin) that they are
to begin logging any calls that come in for the sole purpose of requesting an extension to the retail life of Windows XP. The calls will be logged
and, if enough complaints are filed, Microsoft will consider giving XP some more time (no pinky promises, though).
If you wish to file an
official petition yourself, you can simply call the Windows XP Home Edition support numbers for your country and let the operator know that you wish
to file an official complaint. Because we're so nice and want to save you the trouble, here are the numbers for a majority of Neowin's
visitors:
- United States: (866) 234-6020
- United Kingdom: 0870 60 10 100
- Canada: (800) 936-8479
If your country
isn't listed, you can visit the Microsoft Support Site,
choose your country, choose Windows XP Home Edition as your product and then go to 'Contacts' for the appropriate support number.

Microsoft may adjust limitations on Windows 7 Starter
According to Paul Thurrott, Microsoft will be lifting the three running application limit for Windows 7 Starter Edition. Previously with XP and
Vista, Starter Edition was designed to run on low end equipment and be sold in what Microsoft called "developing markets." But for Windows 7,
Microsoft moved Starter Edition into the rest of the world and decided to sell Home Basic in the developing markets instead. Starter Edition is
expected to be sold on netbook class systems, so even if there isn't a software coded limit to how many applications you can run at one time, the
limited amount of processor and memory resources in the computer will continue to be the deciding factor.

Microsoft exec calls XP hack 'frightening'
A Microsoft executive calls the ease with which two British e-crime specialists managed to hack into a Windows XP computer as both "enlightening and
frightening."
The demonstration took place Monday at an event sponsored by Get Safe Online--a joint initiative of the U.K. government and industry. At the event, which was aimed at heightening security
awareness among small businesses, two members of the U.K. government intelligence group Serious
Organized Crime Agency connected a machine running Windows XP with Service Pack 1 to an unsecured wireless network. The machine was running no antivirus, firewall, or anti-spyware software and
contained a sample target file of passwords to be stolen.
The SOCA officials wished to remain anonymous. One of them, "Mick,"
remained behind a screen while carrying out the hack into the unpatched computer of a fellow officer, "Andy."
