1.4.2007Gmail offers new Inbox themes
Gmail owners, Google, wanted "to go beyond simple color customization" and have announced 30 new themes. There's many new themes to fit your
style, a shiny theme with chrome styling, another one that turns your inbox into a retro notepad, nature themes that change scenery over time and even
a weather theme that can rain on your mailbox. There's even an old school ascii theme (Terminal) to geek up your mailbox. Google have also done
some work to Gmail's default look to make it "crisper and cleaner". To customise your inbox, go to the Themes tab under Settings.

16.01.2008Slideshow in the Windows Live Photo Gallery
We didnt do much to the Slideshow feature in the Windows Live Photo Gallery, but there have been several questions coming in about this feature, so we
thought that it was worth a brief rundown of whats changed.
In a nutshell, heres how the slideshow feature works in this
release:
- XP users: Basic slideshow only (equivalent to the �Classic theme on Vista). No transitions, and no support for videos. The rich
themes are very dependent on the Vista graphics model, so it will take a fair amount of work to get the rich themes working on XP (more than we could
bite off for this release).
- Vista users (basic graphics hardware): The experience should be unchanged from Vista. You may see a limited
set of themes available, and may or may not see transport controls depending on the capabilities of your graphics card.
- Vista users
(premium graphics hardware): The experience should be unchanged from Vista.
We
blogged about the Vista Slideshow experience previously. Most
of this still applies (with the exception of the above notes). One exception is that although the rich themes were only available on certain Vista
SKUs, all themes are available in all Vista SKUs (again, depending on your graphics hardware).

07.04.2009Windows XP SP3 Released To Small Group (Updated)
In addition to the
previously
reported Windows Vista SP1
drop to testers, Microsoft
has just recently (few days
ago) dropped a copy of Windows
XP Service Pack 3 in the lap
of the same small group of
testers.
Coming in at less than
350MB, the service pack
includes fixes for over 900
reported problems, some of
which have already been
resolved with post-Service
Pack 2 hotfixes.
For the hardcore
build string collectors, this
build is tagged 5.1.2600.3180
(xpsp.070718-2058) (Thanks
again C).
Given the close proximity
of the two betas we guestimate
both 'packs will be released
simultaneously. We'll let you
know if we hear of a more
solid release date.

08.04.2006Microsoft: XP SP3 won't
arrive until '07
Aiming to keep its focus on
Windows Vista, Microsoft is
now targeting 2007 for its
next Windows XP service pack
update.
In a
posting to its life cycle Web
site, Microsoft set a
preliminary date of the second
half of next year for the
release of Windows XP Service
Pack 3 for both home and
professional editions. That
puts its debut well past the
arrival of Vista, which is
slated for the second half of
this year and later than both
outsiders and some insiders
had originally
predicted.
"We
will be releasing another
service pack for XP over the
course of the product life
cycle, and we are tentatively
targeting the second half of
2007 for release," a
Microsoft representative said
in an e-mail to CNET News.com.
"However, right now our
priority is Windows
Vista--we'll have more
information to share about the
next service pack for XP after
Windows Vista ships." ..

18.01.2006Performance Results Mixed with Vista Service Pack 1
Microsoft's newly released Service Pack 1 may solve some of the performance glitches that have annoyed Windows Vista users and discouraged others
from adopting the OS, but it doesn't appear from our initial tests to be a panacea.
In our first tests of the service pack, file
copying, one of the main performance-related complaints from Vista users, was significantly faster. But other tests showed little improvement and in
two tests, our experience was actually a little better without the service pack installed than with it.

24.11.2006Google preparing to launch theme gallery for Chrome
Last week, information was spread that Google planned to implement proper theme support within their Chrome browser. Just recently, people have
discovered, in the developer builds of the browser, that the company has built in the theme support already. It was unclear how they'd plan to
display said themes, though many suspected the obvious choice of an online gallery; now, however, TechCrunch is reporting that this has been all but
confirmed, with several themes already having been discovered. TechCrunch states that the themes will be available at this link, which has obviously
yet to go online, but you can already preview it if you have the very latest build of the Chrome browser.

12.01.2008Leaked Vista Hotfixes to be broadly available in the near future
Microsoft Corp. confirmed
today that the Vista hot-fix
packs that have leaked to the
Web will be issued to all
users.
"We
plan to make these two updates
broadly available via Windows
Update in the near future," a
company spokeswoman said in an
e-mail.
The
two updates, dubbed "Vista
Performance and Reliability
Pack" and "Vista
Compatibility and Reliability
Pack," were posted over the
weekend to a third-party
download site after being
leaked from a group of Windows
Server 2008 testers. The list
of fixes -- which include
performance improvements to
Vista's sleep mode and speed
increases in copying or moving
large directories -- led some
users yesterday to speculate
that the updates were the
forerunner of Vista Service
Pack 1 (SP1), a major upgrade
that many businesses want to
see before they widely deploy
the new operating system. ..

04.03.2009Windows Vista Service Pack 1 Beta Whitepaper
When developing Windows Vista, Microsoft set out to provide higher levels of productivity, mobility, and security, with lower costs. After more than
six months of broad availability and usage, it's evident that these investments are improving the Windows computing experience. For example, in the
first six months of use, Windows Vista had fewer security issues than Windows XP (Windows Vista had only 12 issues, and Windows XP had 36). According
to the Windows Vista 6-Month Vulnerability Report by Jeffery R. Jones, Windows Vista had fewer security issues than all the popular operating systems
he studied.
Although most companies are cautious when deploying a new operating system, many have already started testing and
evaluating Windows Vista for deployment, and some have already deployed Windows Vista into their production environments and begun seeing the business
benefits Windows Vista can provide.
Microsoft's efforts to provide the best Windows experience ever in Windows Vista did not end
with its launch. This white paper describes the ways Microsoft strives to continuously improve Windows Vista. It then introduces Windows Vista Service
Pack 1 (SP1) and describes how the service pack will fit into the ongoing improvement process.

20.11.2008Vista Service Pack 1: It lives
With all the
Microsoft-created confusion
out there around when — and
even whether — the company
plans to deliver the first
service pack (SP) for Windows
Vista, it’s nice to see some
concrete proof that Vista SP1
does exist.
The
http://www.winfuture.de/news,3
1801.html>WinFuture.de folks
managed to grab a quick
snapshot of a machine running
a build of Vista SP1 during
one of the Rally talks at the
Windows Hardware Engineering
Conference (WinHEC) in Los
Angeles this week. Plain as
day, it says: “Windows Build
6001 Service Pack 1, v113.”)
I also saw a
PowerPoint slide mentioning
the existence of Vista SP1
during a WinHEC chalk talk on
“The Future of Input” at
this week’s show. (The
context: A shim for the
kernel-mode driver foundation
version of the digitizer
driver will ship as a Windows
Driver Kit sample in Vista
SP1. That was it.)..

company said. "A program may experience a loss of functionality after you install Windows Vista SP1.

05.09.2007Official theme support now integrated in Google Chrome 3.0
The latest developer build of Chrome now includes an official option to install themes into Google Chrome. It was reported earlier this week by Neowin
that Google is preparing to launch a theme gallery. It looks like this has happened with the release of build 3.0.195.6. The option is offered under
"Personal Stuff" and has the option to "Get Themes". Pressing the button redirects you to a webpage, that shows a whole array of new themes for
Chrome. Applying the theme is as simple as pressing the "Apply Theme" button below the chosen theme, and a ".crx" file is downloaded. A restart
of Chrome is not required to apply the theme.
