An Open Letter to Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer
Dear Mr. Ballmer, Let me start by saying that I’ve admired your company since I was 10 years old. I think what Microsoft does for the industry, and the world, is amazing. I think Windows is, and has always been, the best operating system on the
The Problem With SaaS & Cloud Services
When I heard about the iMate Momento digital picture frame, I was an instant fan. I thought it was really great how it integrated with Vista’s SideShow. Once I received one for review, I found out that the execution fell far short of expectations. Well
Who Benefitted the Most from the Vista Capable Program?
Ars Technica has a wonderfully insightful piece about the Vista Capable lawsuit , and the ramifications of the $1.5B number that the plaintiffs have been floating around in the case. if you haven’t read it yet, please do so, as I agree with their points
My Take on the Vista Capable Fiasco
I haven’t said anything about this yet, because I’ve been watching things unfold. I don’t necessarily want to say anything that has an affect on the outcome one way or another, and I didn’t know what was true and what wasn’t. But after the e-mails that
Apple Should Count Its Own Beans First
Apple’s latest ad, “ Bean Counter ”, attempts to claim that Microsoft should have spent the $300M it used on its latest marketing campaign on fixing Vista’s issues. Let’s set aside the fact that Windows 7 sticks it to Apple (hard core), or that Apple
Why Vista Maximized Windows Are Black
Raymond Chen has the answer. This is a performance optimization. For a not much longer version, read his post .
Photos from Microsoft’s Home at Disneyland’s Innoventions
Haven’t gotten a chance to get down and see Innoventions yet? Well, that’s ok, because it’s apparently not quite finished yet. But Andy from MiceChat has a ton of pictures from the parts that ARE finished, as well as some commentary. His review is decidedly
I Can’t Believe New York Times Let This Get Published
You know, it really surprises me sometimes how little reporters that cover technology actually know about technology. Case in point is an article in this Sunday’s New York Times that claims that Windows should undergo that same under-the-covers change
Hulu Coming to Vista Media Center?
Hulu is my favorite video sites on the Internet. Why? Because I can watch almost all of my favorite shows for free, with far less advertising than television. The problem with the site is, if I want to watch it on my Vista Media Center PC, I have to go
Wired's Vista "Do's" Have Some Major "Don'ts"
Wired has an article up about how to speed up Vista . While they have a couple OK tips in there, there are a couple of suggestions that caught my attention as colossally BAD. I tried to edit the wiki page to reflect this, but I was rebuffed by the original
Vista Perceptions Not Matching Reality?
Lloyd Ketchum from Liberating Technologies (a Microsoft partner) continues a debate that has been quietly gaining momentum the last couple weeks. In his words : What in H.E. Double-Hockey-Sticks are people doing that has caused so many to have so much
Dell + Vista + (PRODUCT) RED = Fighting AIDS in Africa
Microsoft was going to wait until Davos to announce this, but C|NET (as usual) doesn't have much respect for embargoes. At any rate, Dell has partnered with Microsoft to offer special editions of their respective products for (PRODUCT) RED, which helps
Vista & Office 2007 Preview Handlers
One of the cooler Vista features that I've started using more often is the File Preview in Windows Explorer. Being a developer, most of the files I work with are code files of one form or another. I didn't think there was any reason to use the File Preview
The Long-Term Impact of User Account Control
TechNet Magazine has a great article this month about UAC . UAC was not deliberately designed to be the most annoying feature in the history of Windows. Rather, this set of technologies was designed to set us on a path where users do not need to expose
Microsoft Takes the Lid Off Vista Media Center Extenders
From the "holy crap, what the hell took so long?" files, Microsoft has *finally* released details on the "v2" Windows Vista Media Center Extenders . Seriously guys, it only took 8 months after Vista's release to get something out there... no rush or anything
Internet TV, V2 Extenders Coming to Windows Vista Media Center
Josh of WindowsConnected fame points out a monster Media Center-related press release today. In it, we find out that Media Centers with quad-CableCARD tuners are coming, as well as the V2 Extenders (finally!). But the big news comes in the following paragraph
Acer Gets It Wrong About Windows Vista
When asked about Windows Vista by Financial Times Deuchland, Acer CEO Gianfranco Lanci had this to say : "The entire industry is disappointed by Windows Vista," the head of the world's fourth-biggest PC maker told the Financial Times Deutschland in its
Windows Vista Six-Month Vulnerability Report
Jeff Jones from Microsoft keeps hope alive that my Windows Vista system won't be hacked by viruses exploiting new bugs. He just released his Six-Month Vulnerability Report , covering all of the major OSes. He finds that Vista is still the most secure
AMD & Vista: The First 100 Days
Several weeks ago, I posted a letter from AMD Executive VP Henri Richard (pronounced En-re Ri-shard) to the employees at AMD, regarding their internal adoption of Windows Vista. Today, he gave bloggers an exclusive video conference call about said adoption
The Vista Daily #16
<sigh> I wish American Idol would let you vote to boot people instead of keep them. Then Sanjaya would have been sent home a while ago. That's why 13 year olds shouldn't have cell phones. But I digress. Anyway, here's what's been going on with Microsoft
