    Not plain text, it is actually a MD4 hash. Not that it matters much, as it can then be passed directly to most Windows network protocols as the password, as the hashing is done on the client side.

    And they broke the JDA in the middle of OS/2 2.0 development after the first SDKs was already sent out by MS to developers, only to later attack OS/2 with tactics that ended up being much worse.

    Well, how many 386s was in the real world back in April 1987, when Compaq DeskPro 386 was released only 6 months earlier? And OS/2 1.x did have real multitasking.

    Yea, this can be a good thing if used properly, or a bad thing if not.

    The XP and later kernels has a hard block for 486s as they depends on the CMPXCHG8B instruction.

    Correction.

  18. Re:Piracy? on Microsoft Office 2013 Not Compatible With Windows XP, Vista · · Score: 1

    Office 2003 and 2007 both support only the current version of Windows and only one version back (for 2007 this is XP and Vista, for 2003 this is 2000 and XP).

  19. Re:OfficeMetro and WinMetro can DIAF on Microsoft Office 2013 Not Compatible With Windows XP, Vista · · Score: 1

    Office just uses the Metro visual style. The ribbon hasn't changed in basic operation since 2007 unless you ask for the touch mode.

  20. Re:I can see why they'd drop support for XP, but.. on Microsoft Office 2013 Not Compatible With Windows XP, Vista · · Score: 1

    There are even software vendors that drop official support for Vista but keep XP support. Adobe Photoshop CS6 for example. In most case there is nothing stopping the software from running on Vista but the vendor don't want the additional support costs.

  21. Re:DirectX? on Microsoft Office 2013 Not Compatible With Windows XP, Vista · · Score: 1

    Yea, PowerPoint for example uses a lot of animations that can be hardware accelerated. Note that these can fallback to software emulation if necessary but it does require the API functions be available to simplify the code.

  22. Re:Business Software Doesn't Change on First Look: Microsoft Office 2013 · · Score: 1

    Fortunately, at least in this preview, only the visual style of the interface is changed to match Metro. The Ribbon still basically works the same as in 2007/2010.

    AFAIK Stuxnet targeted Win2000 and was created before Win2000 end of support but was discovered just after it ended support, which means patches to close the holes it exploited are not available without a Custom Support agreement.
