Microsoft - Techy Bytes

There are a lot of things that I am very thankful for this year. The list is a very wide variety that ranges from things taken for granted to very obvious things.

Apple Marketting Sinks to a New Low, Yes, That's Saying Something

October 20th 2008 09:46

Since Microsoft decided to, you know, start advertising, Apple has done what even I thought would be too low for them, attack Microsoft for advertising.

The new Microsoft ad:

Apples response.

This from the company which declared the mighty mouse a 'two button wonder', how much did coming up with that cost?

Microsoft Shows off Massive Image Data Proessing

May 20th 2008 16:35

This is somewhat similar to Google Earth and even 'Megatextures' which are actually both more or less the samething. Basically this technology allows computers to deal with massive amounts of information through streaming data from the harddrive rather than having to store it in the RAM.

Security Through Obscurity May Have Some Truth

April 27th 2008 14:12

One argument against Microsoft based software is that they are less 'secure'. Now personally I don't understand the concept of software being less secure, if you're not doing anything stupid you probably won't have to deal with anything nasty.

Having said that I think it is becoming more and more obvious, if Microsoft’s software was ever less secure it was not because of poor software practices but rather the obscurity of its competitors. Unfortunately for the open source community they can no longer just talk as such software as Firefox becomes more and more mainstream

Is It Actualy FAIR to Compare the Two?

April 18th 2008 18:49

WHY? WHY? Can someone please tell me just WHY? Why do people prefer Macs over PCs? Why do people want to pay $700 more for a system that is effectively half as powerful as that of a competitors.

The cheapest Macbook Pro on Apple.com.au is being sold for a whopping $2700, what does it come with? Lets see, 2gb RAM, 200GB hard drive, 15 inch widescreen monitor, 2.4ghz core 2 duo, and the infamous 'super drive' (i.e. dvd burner

Why Windows Won't Collapse

April 12th 2008 15:38

Lots of people make a living predicting the 'inevitable' end of Microsoft's dominance, indeed long after Microsoft’s honeymoon with the tech community ended an entire new breed of journalists and market analysts have come into being, their sole job is predicting when Microsoft will collapse and just how it will collapse. Fact of the matter is Microsoft won't collapse and Gartner's recent blabber does not change that.

The reason Windows won't collapse is because Microsoft stays ahead of the game, now I know this might not be the correct thing to say considering it is a rule of thumb to 'know' that Microsoft does nothing but copy. Yet, here's the thing, Gartner says that the future of computing will be OS independent, that is everything will run from a browser. He believes Google Docs, which is a direct competitor with Microsoft Word, is an example of how Microsoft will lose its grip in the OS world

Apple Sends Mixed Message

March 27th 2008 11:15

Someone actually read the Firefox EULA, wow, and found draconian terms and conditions (who would have thought?).

In using Apple Software Update to slip his Safari browser onto millions of Windows PCs, Steve Jobs didn't just undermine "the security of the whole Web". He's made a mockery of end user licensing agreements.

Setting The Record Straight on Windows Vista

November 1st 2007 17:38

Sometimes you get caught up in the little details that you think somehow contribute to the broader picture, you might even think these little details actually mean more than they really do. Microsoft has suffered considerably rumours yet enjoyed considerably more success with Windows Vista than virtually any other of its products in history.

Criticisms involve such things as 'Microsoft is still supporting Windows XP which shows how little confidence they have in Vista' is nothing more than spin. Yes Microsoft still supports Windows XP (with a big update coming) and will probably continue to support Windows XP well into the life of Vista and probably won't stop supporting XP until Vista 2.0 is just around the corner. Windows 98 and 95 recieved the same treatment and few would argue that in hindsight 98 was not a considerable leap over 95 so I'll let that speak for itself

Get the RSCPA on PC Worlds Ass!

October 30th 2007 18:46

Your Typical PC World Writer - Note Species and Typewriter

PC World have declared that the $2419 USD Mac Book Pro is the fastest Vista laptop they have ever tested which is, if anything, a clear indication the head honchos up at PC World HQ have been feeding illicit drugs to the monkeys who work for them.

The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year is a Mac. Try that again: The fastest Windows Vista notebook we've tested this year--or for that matter, ever--is a Mac. Not a Dell, not a Toshiba, not even an Alienware. The $2419 (plus the price of a copy of Windows Vista, of course) MacBook Pro's PC WorldBench 6 Beta 2 score of 88 beats Gateway's E-265M by a single point, but the MacBook's score is far more impressive simply because Apple couldn't care less whether you run Windows

A Note to the EU - GET OUT OF THE SOFTWARE INDUSTRY

October 23rd 2007 13:49

Earlier on I elaborated on what I believed was a conspiracy against Microsoft through a veil known as 'The EU'. I retract that prior statement, or at least a part of it, the open source community seems to have nothing to do with this conspiracy because now, suddenly, out of no where, the EU says the open source community should pay Microsoft for alleged software patents the software giant is holding.

The natural question is, WHAT THE HELL? What software patents? They are so vague you'd have to have the imagination of Shayamalan to pull off a ripper of a twist that would even vaguely apply to any individual alleged infringment

No Thinly Veiled Bias Here

October 5th 2007 03:41

None whatsoever, it's so blatant one can't help but wonder how the hell APC can be taken seriously considering some of its articles. Angus Kidman and his fantasticly ambiguous question 'Can IE's architect explain why it's so bloated?' is of particular note, which he kicks off by completely blowing his credibility:

My attempts to interview Chris Wilson, Microsoft's platform architect for Internet Explorer, appear threatened by technical difficulties even before the discussion begins. His temporary-conference-visitor speaker phone in Sydney won't work, then my computer crashes just before the interview starts, which in the sub-planet of Vista I'm forced to inhabit means a ten-minute reboot time.
