Gates: Windows 7 will "take less memory, be more efficient"

Posted By:  hamesh @ Today, 10:42 AM
Posted by: M.Sudoku | Posted in: Windows Vista

Bill Gates has confirmed that Windows 7 will focus on performance improvements: "We're hard at work, I would say, on the next version, which we call Windows 7. I'm very excited about the work being done there. The ability to be lower power, take less memory, be more efficient, and have lots more connections up to the mobile phone, so those scenarios connect up well to make it a great platform for the best gaming that can be done, to connect up to the thing being done out on the Internet, so that, for example, if you have two personal computers, that your files automatically are synchronized between them, and so you don't have a lot of work to move that data back and forth."

Posted by: Blake Pender | Posted in: Windows Vista

It is 6:00PM (BST) and Microsoft have released the May 2008 updates on Tuesday 13th May 2008. This time, Vista escapes any security updates this month. You may see some arrive, but they are all for non-OS software like Defender or Office. Come and discuss the updates! Had there been any problem during installation and how that affected your machine?

Updated Anti-Hack patch released

Posted By:  hamesh @ Yesterday, 02:28 AM
The release of Windows Vista Service Pack 1 not only heralded a long-awaited update of the operating system, it also meant the end of two common Windows Vista anti-activation exploits - the Grace Timer exploit and the Paradox OEM BIOS activation crack. But those who think they can escape by not updating to Service Pack 1 would be sadly mistaken. That's because Microsoft has...

Microsoft Launches WorldWide Telescope

Posted By:  hamesh @ Today, 02:07 AM
Microsoft launched its WorldWide Telescope late Monday.

The free Web-based application allows users to zoom around the universe and browse through the galaxy on their own or take guided tours of different outer-space destinations developed by astronomers and academics.

The application itself is a blend of software and Web 2.0 services created with the Microsoft high performance Visual Experience Engine, which allows seamless panning and zooming around the heavens with rich image environments. Worldwide Telescope stitches together terabytes of high-resolution images of celestial bodies, and displays them in a way that relates to their actual position in the sky. People can freely browse through the solar system, galaxy and beyond, or take advantage of a growing number of guided tours of the sky hosted by astronomers and educators at major universities and planetariums

Gates hints at Windows 7 features

Posted By:  hamesh @ Today, 02:24 AM
With Windows 7 likely to be complete in Q4 2009, Microsoft's chairman Bill Gates hinted at what the company is planning for the next version of Windows last week.

In a speech at the Windows Digital Lifestyle Consortium (in Tokyo) last Wednesday, Gates hinted:

"We're hard at work, I would say, on the next version, which we call Windows 7. I'm very excited about the work being done there. The ability to be lower power, take less memory, be more efficient, and have lots more connections up to the mobile phone, so those scenarios connect up well to make it a great platform for the best gaming that can be done, to connect up to the thing being done out on the Internet, so that, for example, if you have two personal computers, that your files automatically are synchronized between them, and so you don't have a lot of work to move that data back and forth."

Gates also mentioned Windows Live services and the fact the company has 400 million users connected to these services. Also mentioned was the fact that Gates sees "a major new version of Windows every two to three years", noting that services that Windows connects up to would be updated on a regular basis.

Microsoft is currently in the middle of building Windows Live Mesh which plays on the idea of being able to sync data between multiple PCs and mobile phones.

Alarm at Google Yahoo partnering

Posted By:  hamesh @ Today, 02:56 AM
Regulators in the US are being urged to investigate any potential online advertising and search partnership between Google and Yahoo. The call by a coalition of 16 American civil rights and rural advocacy bodies comes despite the fact no firm deal has actually been announced.

"We all suffer in such mega mergers," Gary Flowers of the Black Leadership Forum told BBC News.

The justice department is examining a trial the companies did in April. It has been widely reported that it is looking into the anti-trust implications of last month's two-week test. However, the department says it has no comment on the coalition's demands because there is no definitive agreement between Yahoo and Google at the moment. But reports say that the two companies are presently hammering out the intricacies of a future potential advertising and search agreement, and are sharing their plans with antitrust regulators.

Posted By:  hamesh @ Today, 03:46 AM
In addition to its GPU production, AMD is planning to also outsource CPU production to Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) in the second half of this year, according to industry sources.

Although Hector Ruiz, CEO of AMD did not mention any plans to outsource production during the company's recent investors conference, the industry sources revealed that TSMC has already started testing procedures for a SOI manufacturing process in order to land manufacturing orders for AMD's Fusion CPUs.

Top Execs Out At AMD In Major Reshuffle

Posted By:  hamesh @ Today, 03:50 AM
Mario Rivas, chief of AMD's computing solutions group, and Michel Cadieux, head of human resources, have parted ways with AMD, according to the chip maker. AMD has had some notable losses on the executive front in the past year. Rivas and Cadieux join former CTO Phil Hester, who left last month, and ex-sales chief Henri Richard and Visual Media Business chief Dave Orton, both of whom departed late last summer.

AMD has suffered losses in six straight quarters and last month announced layoffs of about 1,600 workers from 16,800 worldwide, to be completed by the end of the third quarter of this year. It was not clear whether Rivas' and Cadieux's departures would count towards the downsizing total. AMD has stated that Hester's exit was not part of the layoffs. Randy Allen, GM of AMD's server/workstation division, appears to be Rivas' successor as head of the computing solutions group. Allen, who last week delivered a major update to AMD's server roadmap, has been named senior vice president of the computing solutions group and will report directly to AMD president and COO Dirk Meyer. Allen Sockwell has been named head of human resources.

Sun Latches on to AMD Opteron `Barcelona`

Posted By:  hamesh @ Today, 03:52 AM
Sun Microsystems is now the latest vendor to use Advanced Micro Devices' quad-core Opteron chips in its rack-mount server and blade portfolios. Sun is offering eight systems that take advantage of the quad-core Opteron processors formerly code-named Barcelona. The one blade and seven rack-mount systems that are being released May 13 are part of Sun's x64 (x86, 64-bit) line of servers.

The launch includes four rack-mount systems and one blade—the Sun Blade x8440—that have been upgraded to support both dual- and quad-core Opteron processors, along with three systems—the Sun Fire x4140, x4240 and the x4440—that are new to the company's system portfolio. Sun now joins Hewlett-Packard and Dell, the other top-tier vendors offering commercial systems built around AMD's Opteron chip, which suffered from a series of delays related to a design flaw in the silicon that the chip maker disclosed in late 2007. However, Sun did complete its new supercomputer at the Texas Advanced Computing Center in February using an older version of the quad-core Opteron chip.

Microsoft Eyes 40 Percent of Smartphone Market by 2012

Posted By:  hamesh @ Today, 03:55 AM
Microsoft is aiming to capture 40 percent of the smartphone market with Windows Mobile by the year 2012, an executive said Tuesday. The target is ambitious considering the company's relatively small share of the market for smartphone operating systems today and stiff competition from the likes of Symbian, Apple's iPhone, RIM's BlackBerry, and newcomers such as Google's Android platform.

Microsoft's Windows Mobile OS went into around 11 million handsets in the company's fiscal year 2007, and it says it will reach nearly 20 million devices in fiscal year 2008, which ends June 30, said Eddie Wu, managing director of Microsoft's OEM Embedded Devices in Asia, on the sidelines of a news conference in Taipei. Handsets such as the new HTC Touch Diamond will help Microsoft achieve its goal, he added. High Tech Computer (HTC) is the world's largest maker of Microsoft-based mobile phones and has been for years due to an early partnership between the companies. The HTC Touch Diamond is a 3G (third generation mobile telecommunications) update to the company's popular Touch handset launched last year, an iPhone-rival that sports a large touchscreen.
