    Vista-To-Windows 7 Free Upgrades Start June 26
    Posted by dan on: 2009-06-10 17:55:50 in category: General [ 0 Comment(s) ]
    Consumers who purchase a Vista-based computer on or after June 26 will be allowed to upgrade to Windows 7 for free, according to a leaked corporate memo from electronics retailer Best Buy.

    The memo states that Best Buy (and presumably its competitors) will launch a "Technology Guarantee" program on June 26, under which anyone who purchases a PC running Vista Home Premium, Business, or Ultimate can install Windows 7 at no extra charge when the latter becomes available Oct. 22.

    Best Buy also will launch pre-sales of Windows 7 on June 26, according to the memo -- which was first obtained by tech blog Engadget.

    The memo, titled "Best Buy's Plan for the Windows 7 Launch," was recently distributed to Best Buy store managers and technical support personnel. In it, Best Buy execs tout the advantages of Windows 7 over Vista. "This new operating system isn't just a 'Vista that works' program -- it's a new operating system with improved productivity, functionality and creativity that uses less computer resources," the memo states.

    Google unveils 'smarter search'
    Posted by dan on: 2009-05-14 16:38:03 in category: General [ 0 Comment(s) ]
    Web giant Google has unveiled new products that it says will push search in a new direction.

    Google is using so-called semantic web technology to leverage the underlying data on websites to enhance results.

    "The race in search is far from over and innovation and continued improvement is absolutely pivotal," said Google's Marissa Mayer.

    Google said it could not afford to rest on its laurels in the quest to build the perfect search engine.

    Google has over 63% of the US market compared with rival Yahoo, on 20%.

    "I've said this many times but search is still in its infancy. Our engineers are worried about what is the next big thing in search and how are they going to find it," said Ms Mayer, who is the vice-president of search products and user experience.

    She said that last year Google had released more than 360 products and in the first quarter of this year it had been 120. Ms Mayer added that this was proof that "Google gets better all the time".

    Microsoft plans 10 fake 'updates' for Windows 7
    Posted by dan on: 2009-05-11 15:53:22 in category: General [ 0 Comment(s) ]
    Microsoft plans to test Windows 7's update mechanism by feeding users of the just-issued Release Candidate as many as 10 fake updates in the coming week, the company said Friday.

    It will be the second time that Microsoft has released phony updates for Windows 7; in February, it tested the beta by delivering five bogus patches.

    People running Windows 7 RC, which publicly debuted late on May 4, will be offered the mock updates beginning on Tuesday, May 12, said Brandon LeBlanc, a Microsoft spokesman. Microsoft wants to "verify our ability to deliver and manage updating of Windows 7 in certain real-life scenarios," LeBlanc explained in a blog post Friday evening.

    As before, the updates do not actually deliver any new features or fixes, but replace existing system files with exact duplicates.
