This feature comes to detect crack the most used and will be updated to follow the evolution of the latter.
What happens when the pirated versions detected?

The user of an illegal version of Windows Vista Serra then warned his discovery. From that moment on the software prompts the user to delete the crack installed and therefore duty within a few days, buy a valid license. However, if the user does not do this, Vista will be satisfied just to permanently display a message indicating that the copy is a forgery. Microsoft will not reprimand in any case these users.

One can therefore wonder if this tool is useful against the real pirates?

Bill gates seems to want a Windows 7 less energy consumer, to meet the trend Green IT.

Let’s listen: “I am very enthusiastic given the work being done. Less energy needed, less memory used more efficiently, and many more links with mobile phones. All these criteria are met to create a very good platform “.

Windows Seven will also automatically synchronize files between different computers, telephones … Live through Mesh.

With a flexible basis to facilitate its installation anywhere on the screen, even on a laptop, however, we wonder about the value of a model VGA when many manufacturers apply to produce HD.

Enough square, with measures 45 x 45.6 mm, and once held, its base is 102 mm. It is available in three colors - comprise three borders of different colors, yellow, blue and red - and will have a resolution of 1.3 megapixels and a button to call direct via Windows Live. It finally includes a microphone and will be guaranteed three years.

 

For example, for fiscal year 2007 ending June 30 this year, Microsoft has sold 11 million licenses of Windows Mobile. According to the analysis firm Canalys, around 118 million mobile phones were sold this year. A market where Nokia and its Symbian operating system for 67% of the territory. Microsoft is second, but with only 13% of sales.

Now, not only the editor of Redmond expects 20 million licenses during the fiscal year 2008 ending June 30 next, but he also wants the market share of Windows Mobile reaches 40% by 2012. A clearly ambitious goal given the current share is below that figure.

However, the surge in the popularity of touch screens could help Microsoft to climb in market share. The manufacturer HTC particular is a good springboard to increase sales. But we must not forget that other competitors are on the same runway. This year will arrive and the first models using the platform Android Google, and the sprawling firm has also shown a willingness to receive a portion of the market.

Microsoft also benefits to return to a flaw of its engine data Jet Database, loophole concerning operating systems prior to Windows Vista, the last large public system of the publisher of Redmond already incorporating a modified version of the file msjet40. dll. Go to Windows Update to download these updates.

Microsoft hoped to reverse the trend of operating systems too heavy, especially Vista, which in the field, has provoked the wrath of many users.

Bill Gates would also like Windows 7 is a tool of synchronization between all positions of the house, but also with all your data online. This principle is an integral part of the project Live Mesh, to share files between a PC desktop, a laptop and a mobile data is hosted by Microsoft. Bill Gates wants to put this tool the heart of the Web strategy of its business.

While the goal with Vista was to provide a very secure OS, synonymous with alerts intempestives and requiring significant resources system, the development of Windows 7 took a different path.

According to Bill Gates, Windows 7, expected for early 2010, will be less energy consumer, to conform with the trend Green IT, and less greedy in memory.

“I am very enthusiastic given the work being done. Less energy needed, less memory used more efficiently, and many more links with mobile phones. All these criteria are met to create a very good platform, “he said during a recent trip to Tokyo. The transcript of his speech has just been published on the Microsoft site.

The publisher seems to have heard the criticisms of many customers, especially businesses, which are reluctant to upgrade to Vista as the OS calls configurations too high, involving update their computer significantly.

140 million Vista PC already passed

Remember that to take advantage of the features of Vista, as its new Aero graphics, it is necessary, according to Microsoft, have at least one processor clocked at 1 GHz, 1 GB of memory and a graphics card incorporating 128 MB of memory DirectX 9, a 40 GB hard drive with 15 GB of available space. In practice, this configuration should rather be doubled to achieve a real ease of use and run games under good conditions.

Bill Gates also points out that, as Windows 7 should allow “access via the Internet to whatever you do. For example, if one has two computers, to synchronize the files automatically, without having to send its files from one machine to another constantly. ”

A principle already in the draft with the project Live Mesh (see photo below), which allows you to share files between their desktop, laptop and possibly a mobile phone. The data are hosted by Microsoft and synchronized between different equipment. The editor place this tool at the heart of its new web strategy.

The co-founder of Microsoft has finally indicated that more than 140 million PCs equipped with Vista have been sold worldwide.

The editor of Redmond is aware. “The cause of the problem is complex, it comes from the fact that some OEM [PC manufacturers, Ed] have used inappropriately images of Windows XP machines to Intel chips on a PC with other types of processors” , He says.

On his blog, Jesper Johansson, one of MVP (*) U.S. Microsoft, said that similar problems had affected the XP SP2 and could be the same concern with the SP3. It confirms that some OEMs, including HP, have used the same ISO image of Windows XP on Intel or AMD PC. However, this image contains a specific driver for the Intel platform, called intelppm.sys “, which normally remain dormant on machines equipped with AMD chips. It is used in connection with the management of energy (power management).

Start Windows in safe mode

But after installing Service Pack, problems have been encountered with this driver on AMD machines. Users could not start the computer or saw displayed an error message “STOP error code of 0×0000007e.”

The solution proposed by Jesper Johansson is to start Windows in safe mode and turn off the pilot “intelppm.sys” it provides the full procedure to disable it by going to the registry.

Problem: other sources of conflict were also observed with platforms AMD after installing Service Pack, including at the Bios motherboards. It is not totally guaranteed that the deactivation of the pilot solve the problem.
