  1. Re:Survey says.... on Windows 7 To Come In Multiple Versions · · Score: -1, Troll

    I work there in OS division, there is no official guidence about SKUs which has been made public even internally. If you notice the SKU options are exactly same as Vista and the workflow has not been changed yet. So I say TH is speculating. For obivious resons I wont deny or confirm any of the speculations which needs to be taken with grain of salt.

  9. Re:Success/Failure/______/etc./ (Profit?) on All Microsoft Updates Phone Home · · Score: 0

    TFA: "In the Privacy Statement of Windows Update Microsoft grants itself fairly far-reaching rights. Thus the information collected by the Redmond-based behemoth includes the computer make and model, version information for the operating system, browser, and any other Microsoft software for which updates might be available, Plug&Play ID numbers of hardware devices, region and language setting, Globally Unique Identifier (GUID), Product ID and Product Key, BIOS name, revision number, and revision date" Kinda sad that we just assume letting vendors capture all this info is part of the game (i.e. necessary to make the update work right). Wrong. When I do "yum upgrade" -- as far as I know -- not a single piece of information about my system goes up the wire. Correct me if I'm wrong. For Hardware drivers updates make and model : drivers - diffrent vendors have diffrent drivers for make and model version information for the operating system : how would you decide which OS installed, WU client is shared across OS' browser, other Microsoft software : If you opt into Microsoft Update which is diffrent than WIndows Update and includes office/ SQL server etc. Plug&Play ID numbers of hardware devices : for generic to specific drivers, PNP numbers are userful for that. Do some reaserch on pnp to understand this. Globally Unique Identifier (GUID) : this one is for tracking a unique client for update installation status and failures etc. Product ID and Product Key: Dont collect it in Windows update its checked in WGA if enabled, but never transferred back. BIOS name revision number, and revision date : Its again for hardware drivers, diffrent bios' have diffrent drivers available. Interstigly this information flown back but except GUID and update result status nothing is stored on server side. Its for tracking the failures/success for updates only. Also, the calcualtion for which updates to apply to your system is done entirely on local machine, not on MS servers and that information also not sent back. local machine only requests updates required based on that calculation.

  12. Re:Using Vista for a bit on Microsoft Admits Vista Has "High Impact Issues" · · Score: 2, Informative

    It can be changed,
        Right click on start button(shiny vista logo) -> properties -> select start menu tab -> select classic start menu, (you can even customize it to your liking).
        And the search is like the one in OSX. I dont use it personaly but it helps, If you want old run button on start menu then there are settings to get that as well.
        It is not regression from XP, but added features alongwith old ones so if you dont like it the you can revert it back.

    Here http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/ZDM/story?id=2639 246 Fixed for you. Its called Media Spin. Allchin also addressed concerns that Vista would be inherently insecure. The OS has already suffered so-called "pen" or penetration testing during its development, and is the first product to go through Microsoft's secure development lifecycle program, he said. "Thousands" of applications have been tested against the software. Allchin's own son uses a prerelease version of Vista without any antivirus software, Allchin said, although he advised customers not to do the same.
