LG hopes to launch their first Windows Phone 7 handset around September or November
Posted on February 25, 2010 | No CommentsWhen Microsoft announced Windows Phone 7 just a few days ago at Mobile World Congress, the only sort of time frame they’d give for release was “by the Holidays”. As it turns out, they may have meant Labor Day. Engadget Chinese met up with LG during some sort of Chinese New Year celebration, and got hit with [...] -
No, that shot of the HTC HD2 running Windows Phone is not real
Posted on February 16, 2010 | No Comments
This alleged snapshot of Windows Phone 7 Series running on the HTC HD2 has hit our inbox roughly a dozen times already, so I figured we'd go ahead and clear things up: No, it is not real.
It's really, really late here in Barcelona (as in 4:30 AM), so I've got to make this quick for the sake of getting any sleep tonight.

Microsoft releases Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool: Lets you install Windows 7 without an optical drive
Posted on December 10, 2009 | No CommentsWould you run Windows 7 on a netbook? It's a good question, especially when you look at some of the benchmarks vis-à-vis battery life and past versions of Windows, namely XP. But let's put that aside for a moment. Let's say you do, in fact, want Windows 7 on that shiny new netbook of yours. Problem: your netbook doesn't have an optical drive, which makes installing Windows 7, oh, impossible. Until now! Microsoft has released the Windows 7 USB/DVD Download tool that let's users create a bootable Windows 7 USB drive or DVD ISO.

The first one aired last weekend, but the video above and the one after the jump have just been posted to YouTube proving the partnership isn’t dead after all.

Shocking: the NSA helped make Windows 7!!
Posted on November 19, 2009 | No Comments
Okay, so I intentionally used a salacious headline to get your attention. It's Thursday. The NSA didn't really help make Windows 7. Rather, using their "unique expertise and operational knowledge of system threats and vulnerabilities" the National Security Agency helped shape "Microsoft's operating system security guide", according to Richard Sharffer, Information Assurance Director at the NSA. The NSA works with other companies, like Red Hat, Apple, and Sun, too. The NSA started the Security Enhanced Linux initiative in 2003, so it should come as no surprise that they've been working to help secure Windows, too.

Microsoft leaks a screenshot of Windows Mobile… something
Posted on November 18, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Windows Mobile
Microsoft's been pretty cagey with the future of Windows Mobile so far, but apparently the Office Mobile 2010 team just doesn't care -- in addition to leaking a new interface in that confidential slide deck last month, they've now included this screen shot on the Office Mobile 2010 beta website. Here's what's wild: this design language completely matches the first set of Windows Mobile 7 leaks we saw nearly two years ago, so either Microsoft hasn't made any changes in that time, or what we're seeing here is something else entirely. Combine that with rumors that WinMo 7 isn't due to hit until the end of next year, and we're starting to think there's something bigger afoot here -- the only other alternative is that Microsoft has waited nearly three years to launch what's little more than a refresh of its current interface, and even Redmond can't be that slow to execute... can it?

Windows 7 exploit (the first?) confirmed by Microsoft
Posted on November 16, 2009 | No CommentsWindows 7 users would be well-advised to block outgoing ports 139 and 445. Microsoft has confirmed the existence of a vulnerability that affects SMB in Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 RC2. Worst case scenario: you connect to a malicious server then it crashes your PC.

Windows Marketplace’s newest anti-piracy measures already thwarted
Posted on November 12, 2009 | No CommentsFiled under: Software, Windows Mobile
Yar, that was fast. Less than a day after Microsoft updated its Windows Marketplace for Mobile with new advanced anti-piracy measure, some apt xda-developers community member has managed to crack the new code -- in under two hours, according to Chainfire's posting. The hack itself won't be posted, but we're sure other astute programmers, many of more nefarious intention, will be able to have their way with it just as easy. Sad for developers who've been wanting something more secure -- better luck next update.

Microsoft’s new Windows 7 ads keep with the same message

But we shouldn’t take all the credit. Regular people [...] -

Microsoft giving away Windows Server 2008
Posted on October 20, 2009 | No Comments
Well, they're not just giving it away to everybody. Microsoft is giving away copies of the Server 2008 R2 standard edition as part of their DreamSpark program. DreamSpark is Microsoft's initiative to give away some of their most powerful tools to students, allowing them to learn how to use the products for free (instead of just pirating a copy off the web).
