Microsoft Announces Internet TV Service And Extenders Allowing HDTV Access & More

Paul

Microsoft have announced the forthcoming release of Internet TV, a feature which will allow people to enjoy a range of television and video content on their PCs and TV sets without a TV tuner in their PC.

On September 28th 2007, US users of Windows Vista Home Premium edition and Windows Vista Ultimate edition will find the new beta release inside Media Center.


I have been playing around with this and find one it is really slow on a wireless connection and two, most of programs aren’t even out yet. I will keep people posted!

Vista SP1 Recovery Disc

Paul

One of the new administrative tools Windows Vista Service Pack 1 provides is the ability to create a recovery disc. At first, the name might fool you into thinking the type of discs system manufacturers provide to you when you purchase a new computer to restore your computer to a factory state, but this is not that. A more appropriate name would be “Windows repair disc”.

To be blunt, this tool creates merely a slimmed-down Windows installation disc. It takes a normal Windows installation disc image and strips out all the “installation” functionality leaving only the repair tools and common system files.

I wonder how this will work with Windows and the DRM? Will it even be left in the final version? I would think companies are going to like this.

Crysis Gametrailers FPS

Paul

I am going to get this game soon, and thought the trailers look awesome. It can run on both Directx 9 and 10. 3 year old systems should be able to play this game. It is a Windows only game for right now maybe it will be turned into a Linux game also.

Novell credits Microsoft for soaring Linux sales

Paul

Novell says its Linux business has grown by 243 percent over the last three quarters, and it largely credits its deal with Microsoft.

Novell has reached $100 million in revenue from Linux over the nine-month period, thanks to the close working relationship it has had with Microsoft since the two companies signed their collaborative deal in November.

I only have one thing to say, Thank you little Penguin it makes a stand in something that actually works.
