More legal trouble for Microsoft
As if Microsoft did not have enough trouble with the law Europera because it considers the fact unfair competition include a media player with its operating system (Media Player Windnows) (remember that Microsoft has already paid more than $ 600 million in fines ), now the commission Europera load again, this time the problem seems to be of the same nature, is accused Microsoft of abusing its dominant position by the inclusion of Internet Explorer in its default operating system, thus preventing a way that other alternatives may come more clearly to the end user.

Syllable Desktop
If it were just a new operating system jumps to the fore.
This is Syllable, although Alpha phase is usable for desktop-level testing.
Syllable is a project to produce an operating system, lightweight, stable and easy to use. At the time we develop two families: Syllable Desktop and Syllable Server.
Syllable Desktop is a free and open OS, according to the terms of GNU.
We made it clear that this system does NOT use the Linux kernel to drive X-Window desktop, but a system where the core and the GUI are completely integrated one-piece, lightweight and efficient.
This allows completely without X-Windows system and toolkit, making software development a simple task, if you know languages like C or C + +.
Syllable Desktop has a Unix-style architecture, but is quite friendly and no technical knowledge required to use it.

New servipack 2 for Windows Vista
Windows Vista developers have officially confirmed the existence of the Service Pack 2 operating system, and have already given some interesting data on their news: the best, the implemented hardware support, as among the characteristics that have underscored the responsibility is support Bluetooth Specification 2.1, the ability to record Blu-ray discs directly, or improvements in access.
The Windows Vista Blog points out how the upcoming PDC 2008 to be held from next Monday 27 will focus on the future Windows 7 , but also highlight the fact that Windows Vista will also have its place. Why? Well, because its developers are preparing the output of the second service pack for this OS.
Mike Nash has written a post on this blog which confirms that some members of the Technology Adoption Program customers of Microsoft will have access to this beta version of Service Pack 2 for Windows Vista, as the company will offer this draft next Wednesday, October 29. Not yet know anything about the final date of the occurrence of this Service Pack 2, as Nash states that it "depends on the quality of SP2."
What it has done is to reveal some of the innovations incorporated into this second service pack, and will include:
- Windows Search 4.0 is included for better and faster desktop search.
- Support for Bluetooth feature pack 2.1, the new version of this standard.
- Ability to burn Blu-ray directly from Windows Vista as we already do with conventional CDs and DVDs.
- Technology Windows Connect Now (WCN) to simplify WiFi configuration.
- Support for UTC timestamps in the exFAT file system.

Windows 7 Power in ultralight laptops
Windows 7 the next release of Microsoft, and we met as Vienna, but on 20 July 2007 was informed of the final name: Windows 7.
According to the press release from Microsoft
The system is being built on a kernel based on Windows Server 2008 to allow backwards compatibility through virtualization.
Windows 7 will be focused on operating system performance.
These are the strengths of version:
- Use of Memory
- CPU utilization
- Input and output operations to disk
- Starting operations, close and rest
- System performance based
- Using the system disk.
And it seems that this time is not "vaporware," a pro-free software user has performed some tests on Asus EeePC 1000 with 1 GB of RAM. And the results are sorpendentes.
As you can see in the picture, the system uses 485mb and is stable without losing speed while chatting on Skype, upload videos using FileZila, edit images using Gimp, writing an entry in WordPress and run quite well on an Asus EeePC 1000 with 1GB of RAM .
In the proof maintained that they had problems with video in 720p, but this may not be the fault of Windows 7, but the integrated graphics processor from Intel. What is clear is that the system is able to boot and it works, something that many doubted.
The new market for Linux on ultralight notebooks may be jeopardized, Is it true? Or return to fool with this Windows 7?.
