Microsoft has
locked some of the upcoming features in the Windows 7
release that they distributed among attendees of the
Professional Developers Conference 08 in Los Angeles. The
build has made its way on various P2P sites shortly
thereafter and is now in the hands of thousands of
additional users who downloaded it from there. Features came
to light shortly after the end of the conference that had
been locked by Microsoft. Unlocking those features involved
fiddling around with the command line which is not to
everyone’s liking.

Vista’s User
Account Control isn’t as annoying as it first was when
Windows Vista was launched because software developers have
found ways to get their programs onto machines without UAC
trying to put the fear of God into users. However, UAC
still does pop up far too many times for many users liking.

Who would have thought that Microsoft decided to keep the
codename of the next operating system instead of giving it a
fancy name like they did with Windows Vista and more
recently system will be
Windows 7. It is still surprising giving the careful wording
of the Microsoft representatives with Windows Mojave? It was just
posted over at the official
Windows Vista blog that the next name of the next Microsoft
operating that have spoken about the
coming operating system. They never failed to mention that
the name was a codename and most likely not the final name.

Following in
the footsteps of the iPhone, Google's Android seeks to do
Apple one better by completely opening up its mobile
platform, and by making it available for free to all handset
makers and mobile network operators. The first Android
phone, the cunningly named T-Mobile G1, arrives this month.
And while it may be a while before we fully understand the
impact that an open platform will have on the mobile market,
make no mistake: Android is now a first-class player in this
crucial industry, taking its place alongside Windows Mobile,
Blackberry, and iPhone.

Evolution of the taskbar in Windows 7 - “Superbar”
|
|
13 June 2008,

Some of you with a sharp eye might
have noticed something very interesting on-screen during the
Windows 7 multi-touch
demonstration at the
D6 conference
yesterday. If you did, you might be curious to understand
what you saw. If you didn’t, read on anyway.
The first being the
taskbar is higher than usual, but not as big as
double-height. If I were to guess, I’d say its somewhere
around 1.75x-high. In the left corner, the Windows orb
remains wedged “on top” of the taskbar - sticking its head
out a little - instead of in the center like it is today in
Vista.
