Es algo más que obvio que una buena parte de los nuevos usuarios de Windows Vista han abandonado su nuevo sistema operativo para volverle a hacer un hueco a Windows XP. Hasta ahora no estaba claro cuanta gente había optado por esta opción pero al parecer ha sido la suficiente como para que Microsoft siga dándole cancha a XP durante algún tiempo. Pero ya tenemos un número. Según una encuesta realizada por Devil MountainSoftware, aproximadamente ...

The much discussed Mojave Experiment site got an update today with a features demo, additional videos and an FAQ. Despite the accusation that it makes customers appear dumb I think it does address a common situation I find – namely that people are forming views about Vista based on hearsay. This is the key for me. Head on over to the Windows Vista team blog to hear from David Webster – the man behind the ...

David Webster, the guy who came up with the idea for the Mojave Experiment, posts about a nice update: Today we updated the web site with a few new videos, including sharing with you the fiercely debated demos that the participants were shown. We encourage everyone to take a look at the videos, ask questions or air concerns (or even compliments). First I wanted to provide some context and clarify a few things. It's been ...

From Microsoft: Microsoft will be releasing an update to WGA Notifications in Windows XP. The worldwide roll-out will begin this week and will continue over the next few months. As you know, helping customers identify and buy genuine copies of Windows and avoid pirated software are top priorities for Microsoft. This update, which affects Windows XP Professional systems only, reconfigures the notifications experience to mirror notifications in Windows Vista SP1. Customers with non-genuine software can ...

Microsoft is stepping up its war on software pirates by rolling out new Windows Genuine notification software for what it is calling its most pirated version of Windows: Windows XP Professional. In an August 26 posting to the Windows Genuine Advantage blog, Director of Genuine Windows Alex Kochis said XP users should expect Microsoft to begin rolling out a new version of Windows Genuine Advantage (WGA) notifications starting this week. Microsoft is expecting the rollout ...

User Account Control (UAC) 是在 Windows Vista 中新加入的一种安全特性。简单的讲，就是在使用管理员用户时把管理员权限和一般用户权限分开。 由于很多程序都需要高权限才可以运行，导致UAC频繁提示，十分烦。很多朋友使用Vista都把UAC关闭，这的确是一个好的办法，但是损失了安全性。 Norton UAC Tool是一个全新概念的工具，能够完全接管Vista内置的UAC机制。最重要的，提供了下次不再询问的选项！ 无法截图，只能用数码相机拍。 目前这个工具被放在Norton Labs里面，还处于beta阶段。 赛门铁克作为微软的重要合作伙伴，据说可以看到很多微软的源代码，同时也是世界顶级的安全厂商。所以用他的工具来替代UAC我觉得是安全的。 使用很简单，下载回来安装后即可。 会询问是否开启UAC，默认即可。 最后点Install就完成了安装。卸载也差不多是同样的过程。 这个工具提供了一种和微软不同的提示方法，未来还未提供联网的白名单机制。 目前的UAC对一般用户来说基本都是直接通过的，还无意义。而赛门铁克的UAC将会通过安全等级来详细告诉用户，并且实时更新的。 User Account Control (UAC) is a new security feature in Microsoft Windows Vista that changes the architecture of the access token creation process and prevents users from logging on with full administrative rights. While the intent of this feature may have been enhanced security, all too often users need administrative rights for tasks like ...

I wanted to find a program that would make this job a piece of cake. I think I have succeeded, oddly enough with a program called Photocopier. When I first loaded up Photocopier, I searched for the options to see what functions were available. However, ...

I’m pretty sure that it has sunk in to the people of Microsoft by now that their deployment of Windows Vista has been an utter disaster. Vista has been out for over a year and a half now and it looks like there is only about a 14% adoption of the new OS. This should serve as a warning for all other software developers out there and software companies. It is really easy to screw ...

If you use a Home Theater PC (HTPC), you likely are "in" to skipping those commercials. Two of the best commercial skipping applications are comskip (which I've used for a while now) and ShowAnalyzer. I'm planning to give ShowAnalyzer a try this month just to compare the two and also because ShowAnalyzer has H.264 support in its most recent private beta. That means my SageTV HTPC will soon be able to detect commercials for the ...

Koroush Ghazi (of Windows Vista's Enthusiastic Licensing Restrictions fame) has written an intriguing article about resolving some of the problems he sees in Windows Vista (among other things).

But what I really like about it is the way he frames his work: This article ... takes an objective and up-to-date look at the current state of Vista, with a range of facts, clear examples and informed opinions aimed ...
