Windows Flip and Windows Flip 3D 2006-11-14 12:01:00 Windows Vista provides two entirely new features to manage windows: Windows Flip and Windows Flip 3D. Flip allows you to flip through open windows (by using Alt+Tab), providing a live thumbnail of each window, rather than just a generic icon and file name. Live thumbnails make it easier to quickly identify the window you want, particularly when multiple windows of the same kind are open. With Flip 3D, you can use the scroll wheel on your mouse to flip through open windows in a stack, and quickly locate and select the one you want to work with. Read more:Windows

has said its WindowsVista
has received "gold" status and will be available starting January 30, 2007.

update process for users
of IE 6 on computers running genuine versions of Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003 and Window XP x64, with the rollout process expected to take months.That's because Microsoft doesn't want to flood their servers with requests for IE 7 updates

On Wednesday November 15, users of Windows XP or better in German, French, Spanish, Finnish, Brazilian Portuguese and Arabic will start seeing update notifications as well, with other languages to follow throughout 2007.Users are not forced into upgrading to IE 7 right away, with users able to block the update from installation, with administrators also able to prevent the update on their business fleets of computers until they are ready to allow the update to happen. For Microsoft's full schedule of IE 7 updates, visit this site. Read more:light
Microsoft Takes the Windows Vista Road 2006-12-05 06:41:00 After five years of hard work and 9 billion dollars worth of investments, WindowsVista
fails to provide an answer to a simple question: "Who needs it?"Ever since 2002, Microsoft
has not missed a single chance to tell how revolutionary, how reliable and how special the new Windows would be (dubbed Longhorn up to 2005).However, under the pressure of time, competition and many other factors, some services have been eliminated; others have been rethought while others have not even been mentioned again.The final result? An operating system whose hardware requirements are met only by half of the computers currently used in the US (there's no point mentioning the rest of the world), an OS which brings several significant transformations to what Windows has meant so far.The first and most talked about change that Windows Vista brings is its new graphic interface, also known as Aero (those inclined toward sarcasm haven't been able to refrain from commenting that Aero is inspired by App
