Android is the Windows of the mobile world.

Really? Windows? Are you sure? I don't recall paying $200 for my Andriod 2.1 OS license.

There are probably some legal guarantees. I'm not a lawyer, so I'll just refer you to the official Microsoft privacy policy (the link "Privacy" on SkyDrive just redirects there). You're welcome to try to parse the legalese, and post the human-readable explanation here for the benefit of all of us.

Technologically, however, if it's stored on the servers, and said servers can serve you content to any machine and any browser (which implies that there's no encryption key that travels with you, for example), then, clearly, the content is stored on the servers in such a way that it can be accessed by the operator of said server. Or any government agents legally in power to request this information from the operator. Or anyone who hacks the servers.

This, of course, equally applies to any other online documents / file storage / email service.

Bill Gates talked about Information Fatigue years ago when Microsoft was trying to bring together disparate information systems with their backend server tools.

Here's an article from 2006
http://www.microsoft.com/mscorp/execmail/2006/05-17eim.mspx

The idea was that it wasn't too much information coming in that was the problem. Rather it was too much pure data and "dumb" information being presented to users. This led to users getting too wrapped up in filtering this information themselves and spending too little time with the data that they truly needed.

Pascal once wrote "The present letter is a very long one, simply because I had no leisure to make it shorter." Cutting through the vast amount of unnecessary data to get to important intelligence is time consuming. Obama is right, but he's also a decade late.

Is Microsoft slowly changing it's business model ? Selling Microsoft Office licenses is one of the major sources of revenue.

And at what point will there be a free windows version ?

YES, Microsoft is changing their business model big time. Steve Ballmer announced in his recent University of Washington speech that Microsoft is dedicating 70% fo their software engineers to creating cloud-based versions of their local software, and by next year it will increase to 90%. They were slow to adopt the cloud but plan to become a big contender in a short amount of time.

The speech is about 90 minutes long and is very interesting, for those who care to watch. He's quite a good speaker with a very good knowledge of the industry, and he handles people's questions directly and in detail. What impressed me most was that he openly praises other companies and their cloud apps like Salesforce and Google.

What? No frothing mouth and crazy rants?

Ballmer must be on his meds finally.

ANSI used to have a policy that they would not accept standards which contained patented components. That changed in the 1980s, I think. (The link to ANSI's patent policy is currently returning the message "Cannot connect to the configuration database. For tips on troubleshooting this error, search for article 823287 in the Microsoft Knowledge Base at http://support.microsoft.com./")

The legal way to address this is to require that standards bodies, from IEEE to ANSI to MPEG-LA, lose their exemption to antitrust law if they promulgate standards which contain patented components. Without that exemption, when companies get together to agree on a standard, it's conspiracy in restraint of trade.

In general, most of the more annoying patent problems are really antitrust problems. Anyone can get a very narrow patent on a very specific way of doing something. Such a patent is not useful unless the very specific way is a de-facto standard enforced by market dominance. That's an antitrust issue.

The reason MPEG-LA gets away with this is that the Justice Department signed off on it in 1997. That's consistent with the FTC-DOJ 1995 guidelines in this area. Anyone can buy an MPEG-LA license under stated terms. So they meet the guidelines. The guidelines don't address the issue of the interaction of de-facto standards and market power. They should. That's what needs to be revised.

For background, here's a speech by an FTC commissioner of the Clinton era on this issue. He makes the point that antitrust lawyers and patent lawyers don't talk to each other much and don't understand each other's fields. Also see this Justice Department Antitrust Division talk from 2007. If you want to talk intelligently about this issue, you need to read these materials.

Which 2007 Microsoft Office system suites are eligible to downgrade to Office 2003 suites?
Customers who have licensed Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2007 are eligible to downgrade to Office Professional Enterprise 2003 and all previous versions as described above. Customers who have licensed Microsoft Office Standard 2007 are eligible to downgrade to Office Standard Edition 2003 and all previous versions of Office Standard Edition.

(From Microsoft Downgrade Rights Chart.)

I think it's funny that they're bragging that they got a 68% on the Acid3 test. Microsoft seems to be proud that IE is the web's "D" student.

For one thing, the things simply will not be a CPU hog the way Flash was.

That is the most ridiculous assumption in this whole debate.

First of all, a big reason Flash hogs CPU is mainly because the designers who use it simply are not good coders. Give them some HTML5 design tool and 8 layers of libraries and you'll get the same CPU hogging code.

Second, if you want to see HTML5 hog your CPU, check out the MS HTML5 demos? Most of this stuff would be done trivially in Flash but absolutely kills any current browser.

The flaw in these systems models is that developer tools and debuggers specifically are not built in to the system but rather are treated the same as any other application, which means any app can take control of any other app with only an "are you sure" screen in between at best.

So, when was gdb integrated into Linux kernel?

And what about Win32 debugging API?

Finally, an app cannot take control - as debugger or otherwise - of another app, unless it is as much or more privileged in security terms. It can request the OS to elevate, of course, prompting an UAC prompt. I'm not sure if that's what you mean by "are you sure screen", but if so, then how is Linux different? A Linux app can just as easily run gksudo (or whatever) to grant a process it controls root, and then use that process to do anything and everything up to and including loading kernel modules, which means full access to all processes.

Quite a few actually. See http://research.microsoft.com/en-us/

Tell that to Microsoft! http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/64bit/default.mspx
I hate it every time I see "x64" too, but I think the battle is lost on getting the ignorant masses to realize that there is no such thing.

Earlier this week, I attended Web 2.0, a conference in San Francisco. One of the big exhibitors is Microsoft. At their booth was a beautiful woman demonstrating a preview of IE9. At the time, she was demonstrating the graphics performance of IE9, highlighting the fact that they used the graphics controller directly to render the spinning graphics (which looked like a Windows-NT-3GL-screen-saver) much faster than Firefox and slightly faster than Chrome. She mentioned that it was “HTML5 rendering” and pointed to the site where you or I could prove it to ourselves -- http://ie.microsoft.com/testdrive/. As she stood their beaming, I innocently asked if I could try, and she foolishly agreed to let me browse http://html5test.com/ which gave IE9 a score of 19/160 (BTW, that is what IE8 shows too). Then I tried it with Firefox and got 101/160, and Chrome 118/160. The beautiful woman was taken aback, obviously never having seen this site or acting as such. After learning what the site was about then generally questioning its motives, she dismissed the tests out of hand, saying they were basically irrelevant when compared to Microsoft’s. A gentleman standing next to me replied something like, “browser compatibility has been the biggest issue in developing applications, and now that most other browsers seem to have converged on a common standard, you dismiss it as irrelevant. You demonstrate a new version that will not be out for a year but does not feature any movement toward compatibility with anything but yourself.” The beautiful woman went into damage control, replying that what was being demonstrated was a preview, not even beta, and implied that many things may be added by the time it ships. I hope so, but I doubt it. BTW, others at the kiosk demonstrating Windows Mobile 7 were saying that will ship by the end of the year with IE8 and , of course, Silverlight.

For downloading I have no idea where I can download and install Office, Quicken, or TurboTax legally.

Office, Quicken, TurboTax. HTH!

And sleep is not instant on.

"Yeah, I asked for a shaggy dog, but I didn't mean that shaggy."

Come on. What do you think the iPad does when you "turn it off"? It goes to sleep, just like the iPhone and iPod (and Android devices, and most smartphones and PDAs). When it has to do a full reboot, it takes around 15 seconds, which is nothing special.

I have had countless times I've gone to boot a Netbook or Laptop that I left in sleep for a week only to find the battery had completely drained.

Heh, my Mac laptop did that even if I shut it down completely. I think that's a "feature" of the battery.

I have yet to find a Netbook with a 10 hour battery life

Try this one, this one, or this one.

Hell, even my full-sized laptop will run for 6 hours on a charge.

lame stuff like Microsoft Office and a spreadsheet for crying out loud.

Microsoft sold 120 million Office 2007 licenses in the first six months.

Maybe your idea of what people consider "lame" isn't in line with the real world?

Small and cheap. Ultra portable "sub-notebooks" have been around for years, but cost at least a grand. Although a slightly different form factor, see also: the inability for UMPC/Oragami to gain tractions. http://www.microsoft.com/windows/products/winfamily/umpc/default.mspx

Read it again, he registered tfosorcim with the registrar for [NEWGTLD] so in a fancy new browser that supports RTL and world wide fonts he could make a subdomain moc that would look like this to an American:

http://scribbles.microsoft.com/english/

The scribbles could look like those for "Al-Saudiah" or "Misr" for example. It's an interesting thought and it all comes down to how carefully the registrars will police themselves and that those scribbles do look funny and are not arbitrary, so even is someday we allow .österreich as well as .at say, it still will not be LTR. So as long as the top level domains created will look generally funny to latin users, I think it's pretty safe. The look alike characters issues are more of a worry for registrars that don't check applications.

Take a look at Microsoft LifeCam Cinema.

So essentially Microsoft is 10 years behind the curve? Why hasn't MS had forums?

It does. For a while, there has been both forums and newsgroups. I believe that they are even connected via a bridge.

Why aren't they exploring crowdsourcing and open bug trackers?

It's there for some products, though not all (mostly for developer-related stuff).

Javascript used to always be interpreted whereas these days it tends there are various methods to JIT it into native binary instructions with various improvements being added as time progresses. So yes, early implementations were weak compared to what we have today. Just compare how IE8 performs on javascript compared to modern browsers (note IE9 improves things dramatically).

As you pointed out, a software comparison benchmark that changes hardware between comparisions is next to useless so thankfully that's not what's happening :)

Also this.

http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/default.aspx

Why hasn't MS had forums?

Well, this pretty much looks like forums to me.

Read directly from the source:

http://www.microsoft.com/communities/newsgroups/default.mspx#ECB

There are a myriad of reasons, and "spam" isn't even the top reason.

Bullshit. Fibers do require manual scheduling (which for languages designed for parallelism is not a problem) but they are NOT tied to a single thread.

From the documentation:

You can call SwitchToFiber with the address of a fiber created by a different thread.

BTW, this has been true ever since fibers were introduced. Maybe you didn't read the docs very carefully.

The "express" version is free, limited yes but you can get to the documentation TFA is about through it.

I know it's fun to bash Microsoft and all, but the source site here is not, in fact, dead.

Funny how a very active site says "© 2008 Microsoft Corporation" in the footer.

I think Microsoft's goal is/was to pollute the term 'open source' to mean things friendly to Microsoft's practices like this read-only license.

The license cites the code available as "read only."

"Reference use" means use of the software within your company as a reference, in read only form, for the sole purposes of debugging your products, maintaining your products, or enhancing the interoperability of your products....

http://referencesource.microsoft.com/referencesourcelicense.aspx

Oh, and yes, Microsoft still sucks. In this case it's because their brand of misinformation is particularly toxic to innovation.
   

I know it's fun to bash Microsoft and all, but the source site here is not, in fact, dead. The other points in TFS might be valid, but I have doubts as to the poster's credibility. I believe this "figleaf" character may just be trying to score some free karma or jollies or something by inciting the standard "M$ sux" response.

We may find many reasons to "hate microsoft" but I seriously doubt Microsoft will actually assert charges of patent infringement against anyone... ever. Microsoft's involvement in the software patent arms race was quite reluctant and I suspect that is still the case.

Microsoft has filed an action today in the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington and in the International Trade Commission (ITC), against TomTom NV and TomTom Inc. for infringement of Microsoft patents.

if Comcast upgrades its connection to Google but not to Bing (at least, not yet), that makes Google a faster responding search provider, customers use Bing less, and Microsoft is screwed

Except the opposite would happen, ComCast would make Google slower not faster and Bing faster not slower. Comcast is in bed with MS.

If you're into pain, there is a use for system restore.

Having worked with small business customers who can't afford to go the nuke and pave route when Windows XP manages to shit the registry hive, you learn how to get around things, and then teach an important lesson.
I've started those phone conversations with suggesting to mount the drive via an external device, but some do not have one immediately available.
Those conversations turn to "Take a bathroom break and get a cup of coffee now. We're going to be at it for an hour."
I'll walk them through the steps to attempt to recover the registry hive, which depends on a restore point being there.

If that fails, I tell them two things. Get an enclosure to mount the drive and back up their stuff because they have no choice, and for the love of dog, next time, BACK UP THEIR STUFF.
If it works, then I have 'em back stuff up, explain that they'll want to reinstall the OS if any complications arise. If they don't have a backup solution, then I'd be glad to help them pick one out.

Microsoft refuses to consider the notion of clocks accurate to within 2 seconds.

Maybe some people should read the FAQ on Microsoft's site as this happens if System Restore does not have enough disk space or if the user turns off system protection for the hard-drive (i.e. the C: drive). Sounds like a PEBKAC problem to me...

Why would you use a signed integer for a value like this?

An honest, practical answer:

Because most people who develop software link to other libraries, and many of those libraries don't have overloaded functions that take unsigned ints as parameters.

For example, C#'s String.Substring function takes Int32s as parameters. So if you're using an UInt32 called x to hold some kind of index that you want to use in that function, you have to 1) check to see if x is less than zero (or better yet, less than UInt32.MinValue), and if so, throw an exception, then 2) cast x to an Int32, which takes a miniscule amount of time and resources.

It's much easier just to define x as an Int32, even if you never intend for it to be negative.

In the case of Bejewelled, I can only guess as to what dependencies might exist. Maybe the graphics routine to display the score on the screen is some kind of DisplayNumber(Int32 number,...) function that is generic enough so that they can write the function to display any number, positive or negative, and not have to build and maintain (and risk breaking when the code is updated) yet another function to do the same thing with uints because some weird bizarre edge cases exist where people use numbers > 2^31 but for whatever reason can't just use an Int64 instead.

Right back at ya...http://www.microsoft.com/opensource/. Although I think it is funny that everyone screamed MSFT users were locked in and couldn't do squat, now it looks like Steve has old Bill beat in that regard. Don't like IE? A dozen other choices easily. Don't like WMP? More choices than you can count. Office? Ditto. Hell from what I understand you don't even have to jailbreak a Windows smartphone to run unauthorized apps!

I think Jon Stewart said it best when he went off on Steve and Apple for the Gizmondo incident. What I will never understand though, is that you have this rabid fanbase that brags they pick up devices with a nearly 100% markup, is more locked down than anything the Ballmer monkey ever even dreamed of, yet the act like it somehow gives them this cool vibe to pay beyond top dollar for total lock in. Sorry, but I just don't get it. But then again I was always the type that liked having slots on his PCs and using any hardware I want, so what do I know.

BTW I'm betting that Apple will end up going AMD since Intel has basically crippled performance on their mobile devices by locking out Nvidia. It'll be hilarious to see the same guys that talked about how superior Intel was do another PPC>>>Intel flip flop if it happens. Gotta love that RDF!

An ARM OS can trap the exception caused by an unaligned load and emulate it, so even code that depends on it could work, just slowly. The only time you'll notice this in C code is if you are doing a lot of pointer casting - if the compiler can tell that it's an unaligned load, it will do two aligned loads, and shift-and-mask the results together. This is not exactly fast, but it's faster than an OS trap.

You can also help the compiler there.

most windows apps are likely to have code that makes x86 specific assumptions

Not really. Or rather, it used to be the case, but that shit had (mostly) already hit the fan back when x64 appeared. Microsoft had to do a lot of things to assist in that transition (e.g. this), and matters have improved significantly since then.

Two problems that this didn't take care of are non-aligned memory access (which is permitted on x84/x64, but is very slow), and endianness. The latter shouldn't be a problem with ARM as it can be configured as needed. Non-aligned memory access is a problem, but it is very rare, and, more importantly, easily found by testing (since it will result in an immediate crash right at the faulting instruction), and is trivial to fix with MS dev tools.

All in all, I don't think there are any significant technical hurdles there. It's only a matter of making those third-party software vendors to bother with recompiling & fixing the aforementioned minor quirks. But, then again, if ARM servers will become popular, software will inevitably follow - so long as the platform is provided.

You can dual boot different versions of windows: http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-vista/Set-up-a-dual-boot-system-from-Windows-Vista-Inside-Out -- Maybe you could have an unencrypted partition to boot off of at home, and an encrypted partition to boot off of at work. Or boot windows off of a flash drive: http://articles.techrepublic.com.com/5100-22_11-5928902.html Although I might suggest linux. Ubuntu's full disk encryption works great. You could set up a fully encrypted usb stick to boot from @ work.... If they accept that encryption. You could dual boot Ubuntu with windows. Just some thoughts.

See subject and prove what you stated here http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=1633414&cid=32040320 because I'd like to see proof that it was this apk person you have clearly libeled, trolled (through 3 different threads this past week), and lied about.

The ironically funniest part was how You clone54321 were shot down in your desperate attempt to discredit him, and you hilariously picked Jeremy Reimer from arstechnica who was busted with police being called on him for death threats to apk on Reimer's very website you used, which resulted in his forums having large tracts removed of that material and libel of apk (and his henchman below had 2 whole websites removed by CrystalTech.com), also for email harassing that apk fellow Reimer's ISP put him on a tracking ticket which made Reimer cease and desist the email harassment, impersonating him on his forums and when asked nicely to remove it?

Reimer then pursued apk to Windows IT Pro magazine with a "henchman" in a fat pig named Jay Little who said he was "an expert on Microsoft Exchange" where apk shot that down and Jay Little that obese hog with it, with proof from Microsoft themselves, using their own tty/console mode clearmem.exe app to show that due to memory fragmentation, Exchange servers are KNOWN to stall and what stops it? Memory Optimization programs. He also corrected 'the great russinovich''s work no less, a PHD, who hardcoded paths in his apps (a rookie move) and he ended up thanking apk for it, and lastly, apk predicted VISTA would fail, due to memory and caching (which it did on file copies and the fix? Alter caching in the memmgt section of the registry, here -> http://support.microsoft.com/kb/920739 ).

So much for PHD's, because as was said in "the serpent and the rainbow'? Mozart could give any Harvard PhD a run for his money. Not only did apk give Dr. Mark Russinovich a "run for his money", he outright floored him in the end there. Did you really think you could outthink and outfox that person?

You tried to on firefox 3.6's bug where Germany said to avoid firefox like they did for IE earlier, but never for opera, and you said they did, lying. Unbelievable. Then, ff issued 3.62 to cover that, & oddly the mods on this forums closed that thread 2-5 or so days earlier than usual. Why? I suspect because the last day that thread was open, firefox turned up yet another unpatched security vulnerability, which would have iced you totally (even more than you were already being dusted there already) by showing that apk is correct that ff gets a lot more bugs than Opera ever does, and takes longer to patch them typically also.

So the usual result from you, is libel and name calling as you are doing here with your insinuations as you did here, you did there. You are too predictable troll (clone54321), and because of that, very simple to out think and out maneuver.

So all that aside after I read through all of this, I had to sound off here on it because you have done the same to me clone54321 you dirty troll. So, show us where apk said that please. It wouldn't really matter if he did because you did indeed libel him here on many accounts like calling him a spyware maker which I also would be steamed about were I he too, and much more, many more times. Once MIGHT be excusable, as you were misinformed by that moron Thor Schrock, but apk told you he called CA's Greg Jensen and passed their 21 point test for malware removal, and though they did not remove his single app (of 50 or so online)? They had to downrate it to zero threat levels. Call him yourself, Mr. Informative (for what? self-modding himself up to +5 "informative" via alternate registered user account logons here?

Not only did apk give Dr. Mark Russinovich a "run for his money", he outright floored him in the end there. Did you really think you could outthink and outfox that person?

You tried to on firefox 3.6's bug where Germany said to avoid firefox like they did for IE earlier, but never for opera, and you said they did, lying. Unbelievable. Then, ff issued 3.62 to cover that, & oddly the mods on this forums closed that thread 2-5 or so days earlier than usual. Why? I suspect because the last day that thread was open, firefox turned up yet another unpatched security vulnerability, which would have iced you totally (even more than you were already being dusted there already) by showing that apk is correct that ff gets a lot more bugs than Opera ever does, and takes longer to patch them typically also.

So the usual result from you, is libel and name calling as you are doing here with your insinuations as you did here, you did there. You are too predictable troll (clone54321), and because of that, very simple to out think and out maneuver.

So all that aside after I read through all of this, I had to sound off here on it because you have done the same to me clone54321 you dirty troll. So, show us where apk said that please. It wouldn't really matter if he did because you did indeed libel him here on many accounts like calling him a spyware maker which I also would be steamed about were I he too, and much more, many more times. Once MIGHT be excusable, as you were misinformed by that moron Thor Schrock, but apk told you he called CA's Greg Jensen and passed their 21 point test for malware removal, and though they did not remove his single app (of 50 or so online)? They had to downrate it to zero threat levels. Call him yourself, Mr. Informative (for what? self-modding himself up to +5 "informative" via alternate registered user account logons here? Clone's the type that does that because no way would 1 sentence above be a +5 on any sane forums, quite obviously).

The ironically funniest part was how You clone54321 were shot down in your desperate attempt to discredit him, and you hilariously picked Jeremy Reimer from arstechnica who was busted with police being called on him for death threats to apk on Reimer's very website you used, which resulted in his forums having large tracts removed of that material and libel of apk (and his henchman below had 2 whole websites removed by CrystalTech.com), also for email harassing that apk fellow Reimer's ISP put him on a tracking ticket which made Reimer cease and desist the email harassment, impersonating him on his forums and when asked nicely to remove it?

Reimer then pursued apk to Windows IT Pro magazine with a "henchman" in a fat pig named Jay Little who said he was "an expert on Microsoft Exchange" where apk shot that down and Jay Little that obese hog with it, with proof from Microsoft themselves, using their own tty/console mode clearmem.exe app to show that due to memory fragmentation, Exchange servers are KNOWN to stall and what stops it? Memory Optimization programs. He also corrected 'the great russinovich''s work no less, a PHD, who hardcoded paths in his apps (a rookie move) and he ended up thanking apk for it, and lastly, apk predicted VISTA would fail, due to memory and caching (which it did on file copies and the fix?
