MS-DOS and 30 years
MS-DOS
In terms of innovation and technological development there is a category that has a particular accent: the progress. This is due to the temporary matrix which is anchored in the technical idea and technology. We refer, of course, to the matrix continuity, ascending and linear time allows us to understand the technique as a relative term, functional, relational, which is never still and never stops moving. This movement has a meaning, with an orientation. And the horizon is the future, where we imagine improved, made, happy.
In this context it may be off screen something like the word "past" or the word "been". What interest have been in a discussion of innovation, new, on what does not imitate any model past? Clearly, in the midst of this discussion the past can only appear with the face sentimental, with the figure of what once was and never will be.
This is the case today with the debate on the anniversary of MS-DOS, which has cumplico 30 years.
Opeartivo system was however not created exactly 30 years ago, is celebrated for what it is rather the birth of a trademark, the acquisition by Microsoft for an operating system that had been written by its developer under another name .

Alyun OS
If there is a market that is diverse, fragmented, and made an object of desire on the part of thousands and thousands of businesses, this is without doubt the market for operating systems. At some point will have been a fertile ground for investment, but after the advent of Windows, Android, IOS, to name the best known, is very difficult to get a good slice in the economic arena where competition appears to be fierce, and whose intensity would not have that decline to sign.
Now if this description be taken out the conclusion that this market is closed, that in this market and things are prescribed as if it were a fate would be distorted the most important aspects of the situation. And this is precisely what they understood in China to make the Asian market and launch a new operating system that will seek to shed some shadow on the body of the great competitors in the market so far have played effective demand.
We're talking about Alyun OS, a new fighter that while the attempt to disempower current OS, you do so from one type of strategy that we would call "parasite style" to the extent that has made borrowing some ideas from Android .
The operating system bet big decision to the clouds and applications. Promises in their mission statements to spare users the trouble of having to download the programs to use on your computer. Read more
OCU Microsoft for monopolistic complaint
Microsoft in its sights
When one speaks of a monopoly and culture tend to think of as traditional areas such as cinema, Hollywood's major corporations, the mass media, among which are the giants who communicate via newspapers, radio stations, TV channels , etc. That's what was called for many years "cultural industry". The idea of the culture industry was a paradoxical identity, anchored in what is often seen as an oxymoron. For this kind of ideas are sought mentar the process of subsumption of culture by private capital. Ownership in few hands of the production and dissemination of cultural messages led many people to give cries of outrage by a process to destroy the real danger cultural democracy.
In this case we will refer to this term compound, paradoxical, torn, but to think a different field of culture, not so traditional: the field of operating systems. Why do we say that belongs to the world of culture? Since operating systems are languages with grammars full of codes, implemented, enable a world view for users who use them.
Hence, if we must speak of monopoly and culture in this area, we can not but mention the paradigmatic case of Microsoft, and the spurious link that computer manufacturers have with the company. In recent days, the Organization of Consumers and Users (OCU) has decided to address the National Competition Commission to investigate Microsoft and see if there is any practice by the company contrary to the rules of competition .

hp touchpad
The HP Touchpad has had a curious life in the terminal market and global tablets. A few months of being on sale, available to users worldwide, has become the workshop for a remodeled. Is that the OS updates are never expect too much. In this case, the update has more to do with the ecosystem of applications and software content than anything else.
This is an agreement that HP has done with RoxioNow, where the HP tablet will feature an interesting access to films from all over the world, music from various record companies, etc.. This means that users of the tablet in question have the ability to access multimedia content, primarily movies, as I said, 'but you can also watch series that will be available for download or online viewing.
Keep in mind, however, that the last option is available only to U.S. users. For the rest, ie all of us will Viewster application, with which we can access movies or TV series but in this case the download is not available.
With this movement of rudder, HP significantly improves the user experience, showing that it is a company that cares about the constant improvement and progress of their products. Read more
To Boot Gecko (B2G), SO Mozilla
Mozilla Foundation
Is there in the world of operating systems something like a decalogue of what can and can not be done? Are you disliked by the community of developers and users to emulate the practice or copy the idea of competition? Can not read the same practice as a listening and receptivity to innovations that actually benefit the whole society of users and has been developed by another? It is very difficult to answer these questions, especially when we know that in the market, no matter what branch is, there are no clear rules, but many times the code is not written himself participants know intuitively and opaque .
These questions arise in the context of a news story these days has come to light in the little world of readers of blogs specializing in operating systems, we refer to the fact that Mozilla is in the process of producing its own operating system. And since the foundation intends to make the best possible way but we have not been able to highlight these issues, which are those that haunt the mind of every developer in creating something new.
Are there any effective global development of the OS? Or, rather, what exists is back and recycling of the old? Read more
Windows Live Essentials touch-friendly
WLE
However, not only in terms of tools for the programming of new applications of Windows for tablets is that the new version of the operating system Microsoft has something to offer in the coming months, but in another category: the most famous SO package, called Windows Live Essentials. As you know, WLE is a software package that helps those interested in Windows to have on hand in a synthetic and compressed core programs to be connected to the network: it offers an integrated email, instant messaging, sharing photographs, blog publishing, security services and other utilities from the Windows Live network.
However, as indicated by specialized commentators in the area of Microsoft, Windows 8 will also incorporate a touch-friendly form in the application package, which would come enabled by the interface Metro.
For the production of this new version of Windows Live Essentials, it asks applicants to have HTML5 and JavaScript skills, confirming that the new ecosystem of Windows 8 will be based on these languages (it seems they are leaving aside Silverlight).
The only thing that seems important to say about it, is that while Windows is essential that incorporate the latest technologies in what is administration and management of applications, it would be good to keep the door open for those users who have not yet the possibilities of operating a touch-screen, etc..

New Visual Studio, Windows 8
Visual Studio
Users around the world are waiting for an operating system in its latest version promises to answer and satisfy many of the claims so far had been going on from outside and from within Microsoft, we mean, of course , the Windows 8. It has a release date stipulated by April next year, but until then no one can wait and that is why Microsoft releases from time to time a tiny packet of information, for bloggers and journalists to fill the Comment mouth and it is believed, finally, a snowball informative. The rumor, above all things.
In this case, it happens that the rumor was born on the side of what many think is the best embodiment of the next Windows 8: the empowerment of a sort of open source in which users, with some management and programming languages development, they can also create applications for tablets.
This openness to co-creation, this figure of cooperation, Microsoft takes a plane that had never before entered, and will surely yield much fruit. Now, the question that many of us do is: when will launch this tool?
According to analysts, it is possible that just as happened with the Windows Phone 7, is likely to become available to everyone the tool that would allow such uses of language, and later launched the entire operating system. Read more
Will Microsoft with Linux?
Microsoft and Linux
The paradoxes of history that makes the enemies are seen as infinite, often working under, 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 that users often prefer to take Microsoft Linux and strange monsters, 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 with regard to the settlement that Microsoft has taken shape with Linux, working collaboratively on a new open source. One might wonder how can two economic woes 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 the 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 extend the target customer. 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.
Prediction of all types, oracles are presented with a quasi-apodictic structure, among others, have generated a kind of mass hysteria a little less intense than that which prevailed on the eve of the new millennium ten years ago.
But leaving aside these questions of futurology, we can 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 one that speaks of a trend towards unification of Operating 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 users. Why? Because it would make it easier to transfer from one screen to another, without too much effort in the translation process.
The legitimate question many are asking is: well, we have the same operating system for different media, now: what happens 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 needed supports or supplements to make a machine system that works.
In this case we 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 we would not know otherwise, how resolved.
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 you want to uninstall an application in the Microsoft system often make it nearly impossible to completely eliminate the program.
Well, with "lobit 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
