Microsoft Announces Windows 7 SP1

Microsoft has announced the first service pack for Windows 7, but has yet to reveal when a beta will be available to users.
The software giant said Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) will primarily contain "minor updates", including patches and hotfixes rather than new features.
"For Windows 7, S
P1 includes only minor updates, among which are previous updates that are already delivered through Windows Update," said Microsoft community manager Brandon LeBlanc.
"SP1 for Windows 7 will, however, deliver an updated Remote Desktop client that takes advantage of RemoteFX introduced in the server-side with SP1 for Windows Server 2008 R2," he added.
Windows 7 SP1 will be released at the same time as Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Microsoft said.
As well as RemoteFX, a new remote-access platform for Windows Server 2008 R2, SP1 of the server-side OS will include a feature called Dynamic Memory, which lets IT staff adjust guest virtual machines' memory on the fly.
However, Windows 7 users may have to wait until the end of the year to get their hands on the update. Earlier this month, Malaysian website TechArp, which has regularly predicted release dates for Windows and its service packs in the past, said Microsoft had shelved plans for a 22-month development cycle for Windows 7 SP1, and would instead release it in Q4.

Fix the Windows Clock So It Syncs ProperlyWindows 7 may be the best Windows yet, but it suffers from the same annoying problem that plagued Vista and even XP: Its clock doesn't keep good time. That's because the default time server Windows uses to fetch the current time, well, bites. I don't know if this is because of server overload or what (obviously there are a lot of Windows systems out there, all looking for a clock fix), but I'm tired of getting the same cryptic error when I try to sync manually. Ah, but there's a fix. If you're trying to get your system to keep better time, try this:
1. Right-click the taskbar clock and choose Adjust date/time. 2. Click the Internet time tab, then the Change settings button. (This might be a little different in Windows XP.) 3. Erase what's in the Server field and replace it with pool.ntp.org. 4. Click Update now. In a few seconds, Windows' clock should get synchronized. 5. Click OK, then OK again, and you're done. Your mileage may vary, but this time server worked like a charm for me.

How Will Windows 7 Affect Risk Management In Business? Sunday, 08 November 2009 21:42
In the past, Microsoft has had a reputation for leaving security wide open. Businesses held off from migrating to Windows Vista – but this won’t be happening with Windows 7. Microsoft has always been the most popular target for hackers and computer criminal syndicates because it provides the most widely used operating systems. Windows 7 will have issues and vulnerabilities, but if you weigh in the amount of attacks against the amount of licenses Windows is no more of a target than it should be considering its size. In fact, Windows 7 has arrived in good time for the risk management industry, launching in line with the Unified Access Gateway release. It features improved functionality, better security and most importantly the lack of Vista’s old legacy code. There has been a change in the way Risk Managers work and are now seen as core to ensuring corporate standards are met and maintained. Risk Managers have recently shot up the pecking order and now have direct access to steering committees and influencing board level issues.

There are no translations available. France-telecom owned Orange is only a couple of weeks away from getting the right to legally sell the iPhone family in the UK as the exclusivity agreement between Apple and O2 comes to an end. The iPhone will be available through Orange's official outlets, online and on high streets, as well as through the usual retailers like Carphone Warehouse and Phones 4U. Reports suggest that more than 200,000 people have already expressed their interests in getting the iPhone from Orange. Vodafone is also set to get the iPhone by early next year and there are also rumours that 3 networks, the smallest of the operators, is also actively seeking to get the iPhone on its network according to its CEO, Kevin Russell. T-Mobile would be the only one left out of the game but then, it is merging with Orange next year although competition concerns might slow down the process. The iPhone remains the most elaborate smartphone on the market and has pushed into the mainstream some fantastic features like the App store, capacitive screens, accelerometer, multi touch and pinch to zoom (ed: we know that other smartphones had these features before but none brought them together as the iPhone did). The competition for the most popular smartphone in the UK is likely to heat up significantly as a slew of Android-based smartphones, Windows Mobile phones and others (like the Palm pre and the Blackberry Storm 2) will flood the market over the next 90 days, in the build up to Christmas.
