If you have some application software that is incompatible with Vista (and there is quite a bit out there), then there is some hope that Windows 7 will let you get on with your work. The new Windows 7 OS will, if you go through a number of hoops and hurdles, let you operate XP compatible software within a virtual environment (Windows Virtual PC) in a virtual operating system (Windows XP Mode). There is a catch, of course, you will need to have either the Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate versions.
This may be the result of Microsoft realising that they could be faced with another Vista fiasco, if they didn’t do something to make it possible to run older apps. I think the expression is “enlightened self interest”.
In the past, we were lead to believe that PDF files were safe. This is no longer the case according to Trend Micro. Apparently, infected PDF files crash Acrobat and Acrobat Reader but only after they have injected either a worm, Trojan or virus in the computers system. The PDF files can come from either emails or be down loaded from a website. Adobe are working on a patch, but the estimated date of delivery is early March. UNitl then, Trend recommend that users shouldn’t open PDF files whose source the user doesn’t know and trust and they recommend that you should disable Javascript rendering.
Who is out of step; the world or Microsoft? The list of major websites that aren’t compatible with IE8 RC grows ever longer and now, apparently includes Microsoft and MSN (irony of ironies!) as well as the BBC, PayPal, Amazon, Barclays, Tesco, CNN and even Google in some places. As it stands IE 8 will render sites that use standards like CSS 2.1, but there are 2,400 (and counting) major sites, not to mention the millions of other sites that were designed to work with previous versions of IE.
Of course, there are other browsers available, and we still have to see what the completed IE 8 will do… but at the moment Microsoft still has an enormous amount of work to do if they want to maintain their market position.
The web based threats we face today have exploded in numbers. In 1988, there were 1,738 different malware threats; in the first 2 months of 2008, we faced 1.1 million. Trend Micro have come up with a new way of protecting against them. The “Smart Protection Network” looks at the reputations of Websites, Email sources and files and block known sources of malware and phishing attacks. They have created a feed back loop between their users and their security centre which ensures that, as soon as a threat is identified, it is isolated. Of course, they still have to provide protection against viruses and worms, but this unique approach to identifying potential problems, should stop the threat ever arriving.
Office 2010 OEM is more role-based in comparison of previous versions. There are features personalized to employees in roles such as professionals, sales personnel, and human resources. In its Internet implementation, Office 2010 OEM includes features of SharePoint Server and uses Web 2.0 ideas.
Microsoft Office 2010 OEM comprises updated support for ISO/IEC 29500:2008, which is the International Standard version of Office Open XML file format. Office 2010 OEM provides read support for ECMA-376, read/write support for ISO/IEC 29500 Transitional, and read support for ISO/IEC 29500 Strict. In its pre-release (beta) form, however, Office 2010 OEM only sustained the Transitional variant. The intent of the ISO/IEC is to allow the removal of the Transitional variant from the ISO/IEC compliant version of the OOXML standard. Microsoft Office 2010 OEM supports Open Document Format (ODF) 1.1, an OASIS standard.
New characteristics also include:
1.built-in screen capture tool
2.background removal tool
3.protected document mode
4.new SmartArt templates
5.author permissions
The 2007 Office Button was replaced with a button (menu button) that direct to file menu, known as Backstage View, giving easy access to functions such as printing & sharing. A customized Ribbon interface exists in all Office applications likeOffice Outlook, Visio, OneNote, Project, and Publisher.
Windows 7 Beta is open to unauthorised 3rd party software which can gain full administrative rights. Microsoft allowed executable files that are digitally signed to make changes to the OS without prompting for users permission under the UAC’s default setting. Microsoft are aware of the issue and have said that they will resolve it in a later internal beta build, but claim they haven’t heard of anyone who has been affected by it. In the mean time Users of the system are advised to set the UAC to high.

Major software producers like Microsoft are moving relentlessly towards medialess software, where resellers and consumers alike will download the software and pay for the license by credit card. From Microsoft’s point of view, this cuts out the distributors and their margin as well as cutting the costs of packaging and transportation the physical product.
However, it is still true that most people prefer to deal with people, especially if they are uncertain about whether they are ordering the right sku, or have a question about functionality. And what happens if there is a problem? Have you noticed how difficult companies are making it for you to find a phone number, unless they are charging for their help line?
And what happens if you need to replace or reformat your hard disk and need to reload or repar the software? I guess that’s when a physical copy on a disc wins hands down.
More than a quarter of our free HP servers have gone in less than a week and they are still going fast. So if you have customers considering installing servers, get them to move quickly and take advantage of this amazing offer.
After all, its not often you can get an HP server for nothing!
Microsoft has released both Vista and Windows server 2008 SP2 today and are available for down load. Before installing SP2, users should ensure that SP! has already been loaded. SP2 will be released through Windws automatic update, but if you need it earlier, you can get the 32 bit version here and the 64 bit version here.
Blue Solutions is giving away an HP server with every two Microsoft OEM Server Operating Systems.
This means that if you purchase 2 copies of Microsoft Windows Server 2008, Small Business Server 2008 or Essential Business Server 2008, you will receive an HP 455948-035 Server free of charge.
But you will need to be fast, stocks of these servers are limited!
No sooner did Microsoft make Windows 7 RC available for download, than pirated versions began to appear through Torrents and news groups. The only problem is that they are infected with malware Trojans aimed at recruiting the infected computer to a criminal botnet.
Even worse, the Trojans are so deeply buried in the pirated code, that conventional signature detection methods appear to be ineffective.
So, if you are considering down loading Windows 7 RC, only get it from the official Microsoft site , and make sure that your security software is kept uptodate.
Microsoft couldn’t keep the date of Windows 7 Release Candidate secret and now the date of the actual product availability has been let slip by the managing director of ACER when he was discussing the launch of a new PC.
Is it poor security or is everyone just anxious to see the back of Vista?
Microsoft have announced the release to manufacturing (RTM) of Service Pack 2 (SP2) for both Vista and Server 2008.
The main benefits that Vista SP2 brings are faster searches, it will support Bluetooth 2.1, easier WiFi connection and provides the ability to record Blu-Ray within Vista. Microsoft also claim that SP2 will make it easier for business customers to upgrade to Windows 7 much more easily due to a high degree of compatibility.
If you have some application software that is incompatible with Vista (and there is quite a bit out there), then there is some hope that Windows 7 will let you get on with your work.

Rumours in the trade suggest that Windows 7 RC may come out as early as May 5th for the public. The rumours, unsubstantiated at present, seem to follow the release of a screen shot from Microsoft’s Technet website taken over the weekend. In the screenshot, it shows that the page is due to be published in May and that the RC will be available for down load through June 2009 and the licenses will expire on 1st June 2010.
Microsoft has taken down the page and we have not yet been able to get any comment from them.
Symantec saw a 265% increase in malware attacks in 2008 according to their Internet Security Report XIV published today. The figure was 1,656227, up from 624,627 in 2007 which was up from 140,690 in 2006. One of the most common forms of attack is to exploit website vulnerabilities of popular, trusted sites and redirect the visitors’ browser to a server/site under the attackers control. Amazingly, only 394 of the 12,885 site vulnerabilities identified by Symantec in 2008 have been fixed!
April the 14th will see the end of support for Microsoft XP Home and Professional and Office 2003. Security updates will still be forthcoming until August 2014 for them, but you will have to pay for bug fixes, incident support or design changes.
Of course Microsoft has a schedule for when they will withdraw mainstream support for their products found at http://support.microsoft.com/gp/lifeselectindex
