Does Microsoft with Linux?
Microsoft and Linux
The paradoxes of history that makes the enemies are seen as infinite, often working in agreement, and that those who are taken as friends unparalleled adopt strategies that place them at opposite paths. This is the case with Microsoft and Linux, two enemies close if any in the world of software and operating systems. Well as you know Microsoft users often prefer to take Linux as strange freaks who can not understand. And, in turn, Linux users adopt the flag of their environment as if it were a political identity, and fighting for the open source campaign like a liberating oppressed peoples.
However, things are not so simple. As mentioned, the extremes meet. And in this case we can say on the subject of the agreement that Microsoft has taken shape with Linux, working collaboratively on a new open source. One might wonder how can two economic enemies as strong as these two giants together to gain entry into the Linux kernel code.
And the answer must be provided, sadly, from the standpoint of individual interests. None of cooperative masters. No. Here is what is giving priority to the pursuit of their own profitability. Is that Microsoft has an end goal in this collaboration: making use Linux as a lure for people who hate Microsoft, so as to expand their target customers. Read more
2015: Unification of Microsoft platforms
Much has been written about the future of humanity.
Much saliva has been spent in discussing the alleged catastrophe hit the planet in 2012.
Predictions of all kinds, oracles are presented with a quasi-apodictic structure, among others, have generated a kind of hysteria a little less intense than that prevailing on the eve of the new millennium ten years ago.
But leaving aside these questions of futurology, we think about the future of operating systems beyond 2012. In this case we want to talk about Microsoft and its possible paths in the coming years. One of the rumors that every day is taking more and more truth value is the one who speaks of a trend towards the unification of opertivo system platforms most famous in the world.
According to experts, in 2015 Windows users will be able to use the operating system platforms as diverse as desktop PCs, tablets, smartphones, and even Xbox consoles. Clearly this would have a major impact on the subjectivities of Microsoft customers. Why? Because it would make it easier to transfer from one screen to another, without too much effort in the process of translation.
The legitimate question many are asking is: well, we have the same operating system for different media, now: what will happen to the interface? Read more
Advanced SystemCare 4
Advanced SystemCare 4
As we all know, the use of Microsoft Windows always was accompanied by a series of errors and flaws that hindered the smooth and continuous experience of the user. It is not our intention to list the various types of errors and problems that come their way, the user of this operating system, but rather to clarify that always supports and supplements needed to make a machine system that works.
In this case we will speak of Advanced SystemCare 4, a suite of Windows maintenance that will save us in various situations in which we would be faced with a wall of problems that would not know otherwise, how to solve.
We will discuss two issues that make up this suite. The first, which is what has attracted the attention of the most intense, is the "Toolbox". What is this? It has an interesting feature called "IObit Uninstaller". As you know, when we want to uninstall an application in the Microsoft system, often makes it impossible to completely eliminate the program.
Well, with "wolf Uninstaller" we ensure that the application is removed from the computer. It forced the uninstall option which will allow us to perform this task complete erasure. At the same time allows us to make sure if they have become ghost folders on your computer that would make the presence of a persistent annoying program. Read more
New Zorin OS 5
Zorin OS 5
As you may know, Zorin OS is a GNU / Linux based on Ubuntu and original main objective was to make migration from Windows to novice users a simple event and away from any kind of trauma. Changes is emphatic, wherever they occur, tend to question the certainties that we held until then. Fear of change is just the reaction to these risks. Zorin OS The idea was from the beginning, encourage users to make changes and migration, naturally in favor of Linux.
Well, a few days ago that has released a new version Zorin OS: Zorin OS 5. And while nobody knew long ago much of what was brewing in Zorin, we can now see why there was no news to date. The intention was to raise expectations from the perspective of the mole, who works in a low and breaks without warning in the present.
And while so far we are able to access the Core version (free) and Ultimate (surcharge), ie, the supply is not very diversified, we managed to say a few words on what until now can be used . Before that, it's important to say that the next versions (Zorin OS 5 Lite, Educational, Business, Multimedia and Gaming) will appear in the coming weeks.
If we were to summarize the news, we could say that providing the user experience (target maximum of this distribution) is carried out from the interface. Read more
Standalone System Sweeper, Windows
Standalone System Sweeper
These days Windows has created an interesting resource that meets a demand which has long being done from the user community operating system, namely a tool whose function is to enable the user to reboot the computer despite been contaminated with malware and rootkits. This is the Standalone System Sweeper. How does this tool? Create a boot disk system and removes any virus. This resource is the result of a previous failure. Is that when everything has been tried to start an infected system does not work then Standalone System Sweeper will save us from trouble.
Without having to install this beta version of the Standalone System Sweeper is highly recommended as it allows us to make an offline scanner to help identify and eliminate malware rootkits and advanced.
This then becomes essential resource for users of Microsoft operating system, since, as everyone knows, unlike operating systems Linux or Mac, Microsoft has always been much more vulnerable to threats of all types of viruses.
Such a deficit has brought more than a problem to millions of users who, although they have these big risks that challenge the contents deposited in this system, are choosing to "window" for his image and his career in the history of the operating systems.

Windows piracy in China
Microsoft vs China
What are the reasons for such a high piracy in some countries of Asia, when we look at operating systems? This question is formulated in a while coming from Microsoft, since they have begun to worry the high level of piracy by means of which circulate their products in China.
And no wonder, for if we take into consideration the size of this country and the number of people living in it, can be easily taken account of the millions of dollars lost in the company of Bill Gates by the fact that fail to sell a little of what they wanted from their operating systems legally.
The circuit of illegal circulation of computer is something that can never be eliminated, since the very notion of an alternative market is establishing the forms of commodity circulation "official" or legally blameless.
What is certain is that the percentage of potential customers who are missing in the Asian country takes Microsoft executives have raised serious questions, several of which have to do with the pressure they can exert on the Chinese government for the purpose of to establish greater control over pirated American extraction.

Negative balance for Windows Phone
Windows Phone
There is nothing worse for a trader who does not meet the market with performance that approaches to early expectations when making an investment risk. In effect, this indicates a gross failure by the operator and the very idea of risk tends towards the negative side, understood as objectively possible when investing in a new product.
This has happened to Microsoft, which has tried to catch up with the operating systems for mobile devices, and yet-perhaps for having taken over the account in the decision to create a Windows Phone-could not even touch on the heels of competitors: Google, Apple and Blackberry.
Indeed, a market survey has data from the first quarter of this year and location of equipment sales integrated with Windows Phone has not been very positive to say.
This deficit can be understood when we understand the numbers in relationship, that is, putting the various players in the bond market of telecommunications and operating systems. Sales volume for Microsoft is a global market share of 3.6%, when compared with its rivals is exhibited dramatically lower and lower. Is that Android is the best positioned with a 36% global share, followed by Symbian (27%), IOS (16.8%) and BlackBerry OS (12.9%). Read more
Good economic numbers for Apple
Mac and Linux
The numbers are not reality. But allow us to access it from a single prism that ends up being much fairer and more accurate than the problematic issues of meaning and intersubjective search for truth. So taking as an object of statistical study one person can have a fairly adequate picture of the real movements.
Is this what we have done in the state they are today the great magnates of the computer: Microsoft, Apple, and Linux. These three operators now compete for the market of goods and services, bringing to market products daily users worldwide and set the agenda wish to purchase more than one person.
We all know that Microsoft is the giant par excellence. He has made over the years adopted a very positive position given its brand and products for large segments of the population of users. However, over time, Apple and Linux have also managed to make their own achievements, alternative marketing strategies. Linux with its concept of open source, has helped generate a counter-culture that adopts Microsoft and Apple as the giants to be derrotadodos. Apple, by contrast, has been very successful in designers and users with exquisite taste.
And it is this change in market dynamics that has been expressed with the financial results of the last fiscal quarter for Microsoft. Read more
Capturing History Vault, Windows 8
History Vault
More news of the next Windows 8. No one can keep up with this type of product news leaks of images that are waiting for this new version that Microsoft will offer its operating system every time something less tolerable. In this case the image that we make available to users is a screenshot of the "History Vault", an option that the user will Windows 8 for recueprar lost files, deleted, or missing for whatever reason.
We said a few words about this new option. For example, the function that will fulfill the History Vault is an imitation of back-upp system from Apple called Time Machine. Or actually Windows already offers, in fact, a function very similar back-upp in which users can retrieve files using the "Shadow copies" or "snapshots" which are copies of previous versions of files and folders . How to access them? By clicking "Previous Versions" in the document / folder, etc.. And so on.
Only by being the most important innovation, the commitment undertaken by Windows, which has to do with the interface back-upp system is more than relevant as the fact that users can have access to drafts the same, as in image merges all the news. Obviously, users may notice a certain state of work in progress that shows the interface. Read more
News of MeeGo after his "decline"
Meegan
Economic relations between companies and enterprises of all types take forms so alien to human relations that nothing would seem to make a link to enable a comparison between both worlds. While economic agents have the blinders of the strategy and calculation, taking the other players merely as means to pursue their own goals, individuals dealing with their fellows only seen from the viewpoint of the generosity, love and respect.
But there are times when the two worlds converge, mingle, thus resulting in complexities that require analysis. A case in point is the destination that offers MeeGo after the strategic alliance between Nokia and Windows at the beginning of the year. Since this alliance held as follows: for the purposes of making a bit of shade as well established competition represented by Android and IOS, you need to generate a trade pact in which all Nokia products incorporating Windows Phone 7.
But until then Nokia worked with Linux operating system partner Meegan. Well, once the new covenant replaced the old, what would happen to poor old alliance that led to MeeGo?
Well, all is not lost for this operating system. Read more
