Vista security hole,
SOON VISTA WILL BE LIKE XP'S SECURITY PROBLEMS
p2pnet.net News:- Bill and the Boyz admit their latest money-spinner, Vista, has something of a free speech problem.
There's a security hole on the voice recognition application.
"In order for the attack to be successful, the targeted system would need to have the speech recognition feature previously activated and configured," says Adrian on the Microsoft Security Response Center blog.
"Additionally the system would need to have speakers and a microphone installed and turned on."
Wouldn't that have to be the case if you wanted to use the system?
Not only but also, "The exploit scenario would involve the speech recognition feature picking up commands through the microphone such as 'copy', 'delete', 'shutdown', etc. and acting on them," says the post, going on:
These commands would be coming from an audio file that is being played through the speakers. Of course this would be heard and the actions taken would be visible to the user if they were in front of the PC during the attempted exploitation. It is not possible through the use of voice commands to get the system to perform privileged functions such as creating a user without being prompted by UAC for Administrator credentials. The UAC prompt cannot be manipulated by voice commands by default. There are also additional barriers that would make an attack difficult including speaker and microphone placement, microphone feedback, and the clarity of the dictation.
Meanwhile, "While we are taking the reports seriously and investigating them accordingly I am confident in saying that there is little if any need to worry about the effects of this issue on your new Windows Vista installation," Adrian promises.
Do they look like famous last words to you?

Vista Family Discount Keys Found Not Compatible
Posted by CowboyNeal on Thursday February 01, @07:54PM
from the fits-a-different-lock dept.
Windows Bug
acousticiris writes "Many (if not all) users who took advantage of Microsoft's Vista Family Discount have been issued invalid installation keys and cannot install Windows Vista Home Premium. Microsoft says, 'There is no expected time period for a fix at this time.' According to the article, the keys are valid for something, just not Windows Vista. Perhaps it's just too simple to issue these folks new keys and send them on their way."
In the past, early adopters of new Windows versions have had some small hurdles to overcome. Such hurdles may be software incompatibility, or lack of driver support. These sorts of things are almost expected with each new Windows launch. But what would you do if you bought Windows Vista and your product key didn?t work? What if Microsoft had no solution and was unwilling to issue you a new key?
Many (if not all) users who took advantage of Microsoft?s Vista Family Discount have been issued invalid installation keys and cannot install Windows Vista Home Premium. Microsoft confirms that the keys are indeed valid, but not for Windows Vista. The CSR I spoke with was unable to tell what the key was for, but it did appear to be a valid key, for something.
Microsoft says, ?This is a known issue and has been escalated to the program manager.? When asked what could be done I was told, ?I can take your name and number and call you back when there is a solution. If that is not acceptable, I can cancel your order and issue you a refund.? I was also told, ?There is no expected time period for a fix at this time.?
If Microsoft does not have this issue fixed very soon, they are going to have a lot of unhappy customers. In the past Microsoft has just issued new keys when this happened. Why is Microsoft being so tight gripped about handing out new keys? If I purchased a valid key, what is it for? How long is this going to take to fix? So many questions, so little answers.

Vista Indicates A Shift in Microsoft's Priorities
Posted by Zonk on Thursday February 01, @06:05PM
from the end-users-at-the-end dept.
Microsoft Windows
jcatcw writes "After hundreds of hours of testing Vista, Scot Finnie is supremely tired of it. And of Microsoft. Although 80% of the changes in Windows Vista are positive, there is nothing about Vista that is truly innovative or compelling; there's no transformational, gotta-have-it feature in Vista. But the real problem isn't with Vista. It's with Microsoft itself. His opinion is that Microsoft has stopped focusing on end users. They 'now seemingly make many decisions based on these two things: 1. Avoiding negative publicity (especially about security and software quality) 2. Making sure the largest enterprise customers are happy.'"
The Trouble with Vista
It isn't the features you can see in Vista, or the lack thereof -- it's the priority shift at Microsoft's core
February 01, 2007 (Computerworld) -- When you make a decision, what sways you -- cogent rationalization or what your gut tells you?
I'll tell you what I believe in: real-world, hands-on research. And lots of it. I want to know every facet of a new product or technology before I judge it. I want to try it for myself. Run it through different situations. Measure how it reacts to different conditions, and record how I and others react to those things.
This doesn't work so well for cookware, mobile phones or large-screen TVs, because you won't get the real-world scenario in the showroom. But it works for automobiles pretty well if you're persistent about getting a decent test drive or two. And it especially works for computer software if you're a beta tester. My first copy of Windows Vista came to me in late 2003, and I can't even count the number of builds I tested before the gold code arrived in late November. I have spent hundreds of hours testing Vista.
In the end, though, my decision arrives from my gut. I do the objective and subjective research and wait to see what my unseen, unknown jury says. It's something like a Magic 8 Ball, except that unlike the 8 Ball, I've come to trust it.
The only problem is that even after all that research on Vista, my inner 8 Ball keeps saying, "Reply hazy, try again." How could that be?
What's Wrong with Vista?
At least 80% of the changes in Windows Vista are positive. Microsoft took the extra time to smooth over some of the speed bumps noticeable in the prerelease builds of the OS. You can't fault the software giant for lack of effort with Vista's development process.
The graphics improvements, both in terms of hardware support and how the software takes advantage of that hardware, change the user interface in scores of subtle and overt ways, all of them positive. The single best advantage of Vista is that ergonomically, it's easier and just plain more satisfying -- at the gut level -- to use.
On the other hand, nothing about Vista is truly innovative or compelling. With the exception of security (and we don't know yet whether Microsoft's security changes will be enough to significantly change the Windows experience), there's no transformational, gotta-have-it feature in Vista.
This is why computer software reviewers, though mostly positive, have struggled to put their fingers on exactly why they're positive. To use the '90s vernacular, there's no killer feature; yet for the most part, most people will prefer Vista over XP once they've had a chance to live with Vista for a while.
Make no mistake, either: Windows Vista will be a success. Two years from now, it may be a roaring success. Even Windows ME -- the most embarrassingly uninspired version of Windows since Windows 2.0 -- was a relative financial success for Microsoft. Vista makes Windows ME look like somebody's "Hello World" experiment.
So how come Vista doesn't pass my gut check? Vista has become the version of Windows I just can't get excited about. I was far more excited about Windows ME because I hated it. I don't even hate Vista. I'm just supremely tired of it.

Briefly: Vista can't thwart Mac's reign at No. 1 online retailer
By AppleInsider Staff
Published: 02:00 PM EST
Microsoft Corp's first major operating system release in over half a decade has seemingly done little to spur PC sales at the Internet's largest online retailer, where Macs continue to dominate sales charts.
Two days after the consumer release of Windows Vista, Apple's Mac line of personal computers handily maintained its lead atop Amazon.com's best selling "Computers & PC Hardware" sales chart.
In all, Macs accounted for 7 out of the top 8 sales slots on the hourly-updated rankings, including the top 5 spots. The top-selling Vista-enabled PC was a 13-inch Sony VIAO notebook, which captured the 6th spot. Vista notebook offerings from Toshiba and HP followed, filling the 9th and 10th spots, respectively.
The Mac's stamina of late is also evident in ongoing market research trends for operating system usage. According to data released Thursday by Net Applications, the percent of Internet users running Apple's Mac OS X operating system rose for the sixth consecutive month to 6.22 percent in January. The Mac's share is up nearly 2 percent since July.
At the same time, usage of Microsoft's top five flavors of Windows has declined at nearly the same rate. The Redmond-based company saw its share of the OS market wither, slightly, from just over 95 percent in August to about 93 percent in January.
Meanwhile, Vista, whose presence on the net thus far has comprised primarily of beta versions, captured a mere 0.18 percent share in January.

Dodgy Vista security
p2pnet.net News:- Microsoft's Live OneCare 1.5 anti-virus software isn't 100% safe, say tests performed by Virus Bulletin.
VB tests on 15 anti-virus products designed for Vista found four including Microsoft's, failed to reach the standard required for its VB100 certification, says PC Pro.
The three were G-Data AntiVirusKit 2007 v.17.0.6353, McAfee VirusScan Enterprise version 8.1i and Norman Virus Control 5.90.
"The tests pitted each product against a test set of viruses from the WildList, which details viruses known to be circulating on the Internet," says the story. For VB100 certification, products had to detect all viruses from the test set.
"We are looking closely at the methodology and results of the test to ensure that Windows Live OneCare performs better in future tests," the story has Windows Live OneCare product manager Jo Wickremasinghe stating.
With all the delays in getting Vista released, there was no excuse for vendors not getting their products working, says Virus Bulletin technical consultant John Hawes, according to PC Pro.
Live OneCare caught 99.91% of the known active viruses it was tested against, leaving it open to 37 separate malicious programs, says the BBC.
Microsoft's rivals have also questionedthe effectiveness of Vista's security, says The Register.
"Anti-spyware vendor Webroot, for example, criticises 'ineffective blocking capabilities' in Windows Defender, a product which competes against Webroot's Spy Sweeper line of anti-spyware products," says the story. "Webroot also warns of slow (weekly) definition updates, and weak anti-virus capabilities in the default anti-spyware and anti-virus components of Microsoft's Windows Vista and Live OneCare consumer security suite.
"In tests conducted by Webroot researchers Windows Defender failed to block 84 per cent of a testing sample-set that included 15 of the most common variations of existing spyware and malware. Threats of various types - including adware, system monitors, keyloggers and trojans - were able to reside on the testing environment undetected by Windows Vista, Webroot reports."

Vista Be Damned
I opened the Sunday paper today to ad upon ad for Windows Vista. In fact, some stores were going to stay open till midnight Monday, January 29 in order for you to be one of the first to get your copy of Vista. PLEASE! It's not like this is a new game release. Furthermore, while I was once excited about Vista, I am dismayed about how Microsoft has gone out of its way not only to make purchasing Vista confusing, but also the price gouging associated with it.
According to my handy dandy sale ads from the Sunday paper, here is what I have to choose from:
· Windows Vista Business Full $299.00
· Windows Vista Business Upgrade $199.99
· Windows Vista Home Basic $199.99
· Windows Vista Home Upgrade $99.99
· Windows Vista Home Premium $239.99
· Windows Vista Home Premium Upgrade $159.99
· Windows Vista Ultimate Bill Gates Limited Edition $259.00 (I kid you not! This is for real)
Unbelievable! And then they go and release the new version(s) of Office at the same time. I'm not even going to go into those versions, but suffice it to say, it just adds to the confusion.
Now what in the heck do all these versions mean?
Windows Home Basic is a warmed over Windows XP Home with less features! In fact, after reviewing the features compared with XP, this is a step backwards for most people.
Windows Home Premium puts back most of the features you found in Windows XP Home SP2 (except faxing capability) and gives you a supposedly more stable OS and better graphics with Windows Aero (assuming you have the video card and horsepower to support it). Again, most people running XP at home (particularly XP Media Center) have the same or more features at the moment than if they installed this edition.
Windows Vista Business is essentially Windows Home Premium EXCLUDING DVD Maker, Media Center, and other goodies, in exchange for group policy support and roaming profiles and the ability to scan and fax!
Windows Vista Ultimate is the whole kit and caboodle that Vista can offer; however, I cannot imagine what extras come in the Bill Gates Limited Edition. Perhaps some stock options?
Here is an excellent chart that you can refer to compare the various versions available to the home and small business buyers: It is also no coincidence that the advertisements for the new OS sit side by side with ads for RAM upgrades, video card upgrades, and hard drive upgrades. Vista is a hungry OS and wants a fast processor, lots of RAM, and lots of wiggle room. This is not an OS that you are going to plop on your old P4 machine and expect it to purr like a kitten. Not to mention that if you have a lot of legacy equipment strung on to your PC, there is a strong likelihood that there is not a Vista driver ready for it. So upgraders beware!
Speaking of upgrading?be prepared for the words "clean install" as the upgrade path to Vista can be complicated. Check out the following matrix from Microsoft:
Please note all the Yellow Dots in the matrix that require a clean install and also note that there is no way to upgrade from Windows 2000 without a clean install. Also note that if you are still running Windows 98 for some reason, upgrade pricing is not available to you.
Frankly, when I was shown a sneak peak at Vista from Microsoft several months ago, I was pretty pumped about the OS. However, what I was shown at the time was the Ultimate version and the Enterprise edition. At the time, the various versions of the product had not been discussed nor had the pricing been revealed.
Now that Vista is out, I am disappointed. As a home user, I would not consider anything less than Premium or Ultimate (or I would lose functionality) and the price vs. performance/functionality gain is not appealing enough until I require DirectX 10.
As a business user, Enterprise edition does offer some nice functionality for the enterprise, particularly regarding PC management. However, as I have not yet engaged in pricing of the Enterprise edition, I can't say if the features I get with the newer edition warrants replacing XP with 3rd party tools that give you equivalent functionality.
Lastly though, I am disappointed in Microsoft's confusing marketing campaign, the fact that there really ought to be only two editions Ultimate and Enterprise, and saddened by the fact that for many of us, because Microsoft is a monopoly, that there will be no choice in the matter over time.
As a business user, you will eventually be forced into Vista if you wish to maintain a Microsoft environment. However, organizations can and should use this time to re-evaluate Linux and Mac alternatives.
Home users that ONLY surf, do some multimedia, office stuff and the like, have the same decision and should also make the same investigation into Linux and Mac.
Gamers however are pretty much out of luck. If they wish to continue to run the latest release of new games, they will eventually have to upgrade?unless the gaming software industry starts to finally code for Linux or Mac with the same dedication they do for Windows.
In any case, you did not find me standing in line on Monday night at the computer store waiting for the clock to strike twelve to grab my copy of Vista. I was sleeping?Bill Gates Limited Edition be damned!

Seeing as it doesn't have this..
# 1 GHz 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor
# 1 GB of system memory
# 40 GB hard drive with at least 15 GB of available space
# Support for DirectX 9 graphics with:
* WDDM Driver
* 128 MB of graphics memory (minimum)
* Pixel Shader 2.0 in hardware
* 32 bits per pixel
You will take a serious performance hit. As the ram in that laptop is slow (333) and only 512Mb even vista basic will represent a serious performance downgrade.
Stay with XP or look for free open source alternatives, Mandriva is reported to be blazing fast on this system with the odd wireless networking issue (cnet)
Microcrap and Intel cartel strike again.

As much as I hate Vista it is the only way to experience DX10.
This means for gamers that it looks like 4GB RAM may not be so far fetched. 2GB is the current gaming standard and the 2GB Kits from very well known companies can fall under $200 after rebates at times.
A 'Vista Ready' gaming rig can actually be made for a decent price too. I made one the other day online for $2,400 (Shipping incl.) which equated to about $1,900 after rebates.
On the whole "Vista" editions:
The "Bill Gates" edition is supposedly signed by him, which is totally pointless and a stupid reason to buy it. But it does include both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions which could appeal to enthusiasts looking to go 64-bit when more and more apps go that direction.

can try more ram but other than that you are dead in the water. can't upgrade videocard except for sharing more of the main ram which you need for vista to run properly. other option is get a new vista compatible laptop or stay with xp, your choice.

Vista Followup Already in the Works
Posted by Zonk on Saturday February 10, @06:33AM
from the let-the-corpse-of-xp-cool-first dept.
Windows Microsoft
DesertBlade passed us an InfoWorld article, which has the news that Microsoft is already hard at work on the next version of Windows ... and we may see it as early as 2009. Possibly codenamed Vienna, the next Windows iteration will be coming a brief two and a half years after Vista's launch. This is the same timeframe Microsoft claims it would have utilized for Vista, had they not put Longhorn 'on the back burner' to deal with security issues in XP. Corporate Vice President of Development Ben Fathi is already discussing features for the next OS: "We're going to look at a fundamental piece of enabling technology. Maybe its hypervisors, I don't know what it is ... Maybe it's a new user interface paradigm for consumers. It's too early for me to talk about it ... But over the next few months I think you're going to start hearing more and more."
Microsoft: Vista follow-up likely in 2009
Robert McMillan Fri Feb 9, 12:49 PM ET
San Francisco (IDGNS) - With Vista just out the door, Microsoft is now drawing up plans to deliver its follow-up client operating system by the end of 2009, according to the executive in charge of building the product's core components.
ADVERTISEMENT
That would be a much faster turn-around than Vista, which shipped more than five years after
Windows XP, but Vista was exceptional, said Ben Fathi, corporate vice president of development with Microsoft's Windows Core Operating System Division this week at the RSA Conference in San Francisco.
Microsoft originally planned for its XP follow-up to include a number of radical changes to Windows, including a new file system and a reinvented user interface, but after the company's products were hit by widespread worm outbreaks in 2003, Microsoft redirected almost its entire engineering effort to locking down Windows with the XP Service Pack 2 release.
"We put Longhorn on the back burner for awhile," Fathi said. "Then when we came back to it, we realized that there were incremental things that we wanted to do, and significant improvements that we wanted to make in Vista that we couldn't deliver in one release."
Vista shipped about two-and-a-half years after XP SP 2, and Vista's follow-up is expected to take about the same amount of time, according to Fathi. "You can think roughly two, two-and-a-half years is a reasonable time frame that our partners can depend on and can work with," he said. "That's a good timeframe for refresh."
That time line would put Microsoft's next client operating system out by the end of 2009.
Last year, Microsoft said that the code name for this Vista follow-up is Vienna, but Fathi said he could not disclose the current name. "We've been told not to use it publicly," he said.
So what will be the coolest new feature in Vienna?
According to Fathi, that's still being worked out. "We're going to look at a fundamental piece of enabling technology. Maybe its hypervisors, I don't know what it is," he said. "Maybe it's a new user interface paradigm for consumers."
"It's too early for me to talk about it," he added. "But over the next few months I think you're going to start hearing more and more."

I wouldn't call it better than XP,XP supports more hardware and software and has less bugs,vista is a whole new can of worms.

All it did for me was lag up my system. I actually reformated the partition that was supposed to be for vista and turned it into my music drive! Thats what I think of vista, lol. It looks cool but runs like crap if you dont buy the absolute lastest hardware.
Doesnt expecting the unexpected make the unexpected expected and therefore mean youre expecting the expected which was the unexpected until you expected it?

If you can afford vista than get it right now!!! It's nice.

Life is good!
