We wrote about Vista getting HD DVD, not Blu-Ray. But the last few days it has become more and more obvious that there is no real leader in the format-race. And if there will ever be one, with products still not available in the retail market. The microsoftweblog.com writes that the CTP release of Windows […]

I think IE7 is the most important part of the new OS. Some say IE is legacy and MS should leave it but it seems like they’re doing a good job with the tabbed browsing, RSS features and so on. There’s also this feature called ‘Delete Browsing History’ that gives users an easy way to […]

Windows Media Center may not yet be the standard home entertainment hub that Microsoft Corp. hopes it will be, but analysts said that could all change once the company releases the next consumer client version of the Windows operating system later this year.

A few months back we had a comparison of Windows Vista with Mac Tiger OS but Vista was still in a very early beta version. Microsoft has promised the “largest upgrade since Windows 95” in Windows Vista. Bentuser.com takes a look at build 5270, which will probably be one of the last intermediate releases before […]

The OldNewThing reported that Windows Vista will not have support for “really” old DVD drives. Sounds spooky but what does this mean for you? Almost certainly, the answer is “absolutely nothing”:
First, there is no change to the way data is read from DVD drives, so data discs will still work the same way as they […]
