Windows 7 CRACKED!!!
Posted by Vaibhav Gera in windows 71 Comment »
Here is some heartbreaking news to Windows 7 Engineers and good news to all the folks who are eagerly waiting for a pirated version of Windows 7 OS. Hackers managed to exploit the vulnerabilities of Windows 7 Ultimate and released cracks that by-passes Windows Genuine Advantage check. This means, you don’t need to pay a penny for Windows 7 if you get hold of this crack from the wild.

If you’re particularly attuned to tech gossip, you’ll know that Google’s Chrome OS announcement has prompted a lot of whispers about something called “Gazelle” being cooked up in Microsoft’s labs. Part browser, part OS, the word on the street is that Gazelle will be announced soon, and ultimately compete in some way with either Chrome (the browser) or Chrome (the OS). As usual, most of this is just based on hopes and fairytales, but the scholarly folks at Ars Technica have done some digging and come up with a white paper from Microsoft Research that details some of what Gazelle is all about — and surprise surprise, although it shares some similarities with Chrome, it’s actually quite different.
At the most general level, Gazelle is an experiment in building an ultrasecure browser. Like Chrome, it breaks tasks up into different processes, but instead of separating at the page level, Gazelle breaks individual page elements into different processes, allowing content from different servers to be isolated and ultimately providing fine-grained security controls. To manage all these different processes, there’s a central “kernel,” which is where all the OS talk stems from — it’s all still running on Windows, and the rendering engine is still IE’s Trident engine, but Gazelle manages all those separate processes independently, kind of like a virtualized OS. It’s certainly interesting stuff, but it’s still all just a research project for now — Chrome OS is still vapor, but it’s clear that Google intends to ship something, while Gazelle seems more suited to inspire future versions of IE.

A day earlier than expected, Microsoft has launched its third edition of Silverlight and its SDK. As Ars Technica notes, some of the bigger improvements on the user side are GPU hardware acceleration and new codec support including H.264, AAC, and MPEG-4. If you’re looking to give it a spin, there’s a Smooth Streaming demo available that, as the name suggests, does a pretty good job of streaming HD video with little stutter, even when skipping around. If you’ve got Firefox 2, Internet Explorer 6, Safari 3 or anything fresher, Click HERE to get the update.

Windows 7 RC and XP given extensions on life well into 2010
Posted by Vaibhav Gera in windows, windows 7, xp1 Comment »
Whether or not Windows 7 does launch in October as previously suggested, those who have (or plan to get) Release Candidate will be happy to hear that Microsoft won’t be pulling the plug until June 1, 2010, well over a year from now and 11 months after its initial expiration date. After that, you’re gonna have to fork over the Benjamins for one of the retail SKUs if you wanna keep 7 alive. As for those still living in Redmond’s past, the company’s also extended the life of XP, at least for OEMs. Companies using the older OS will still be able to install it on netbooks for up to one year after 7′s official shape date. Seeing as the new system’s likely to have a more expensive licensing fee, it’s probably the best move if the company plans on keeping that 96% grip on the netbook OS market.

Windows Mobile 6.5 to officially "launch" on May 11
Posted by Vaibhav Gera in mobile, windowsNo Comments »
Well hey — it looks like Windows Mobile 6.5 will arrive a little earlier than expected. A post on the WinMo team blog says that the update to Redmond’s smartphone platform will officially launch on May 11, the first day of the Tech Ed conference. We’re figuring that could mean we’ll see the gold build demoed for the very first time, seeing how the version showed off at the glamorous MWC launch was described as an “alpha” cut. Of course, after that it’s all up to the carriers and handset manufacturers as to when we’ll actually see the OS loaded onto devices, but we’re sure the hacking community will find a way to satiate the impatient until then — or until Windows Mobile 7 comes out.
