I worry about Microsoft sometimes! (Love the Zune though)

I love Microsoft; they’ve treated my company Abacus Computer Repair/Data Recovery & I great. In college my Microsoft Classes were a fortune, and very hard. I got lucky and passed my first Microsoft Test and set up a Microsoft Shop. (Were Microsoft Partners)

Microsoft gives me the best support access available, 24 hours a day. Being a partner still makes me question things. Why not give a Microsoft Zune with car kit in your recent Vista promotion instead of a Creative 30 Gig Music Device? Microsoft is Microsoft, and your partners would love a new Zune.

Don’t tell me Apple has an edge, Microsoft’s Zune with the wireless to FM Radio feature is brilliant. I bet the IPods will get that feature soon. My company had to order one so we can Demo & Tech this device. Hopefully these will get to my suppliers soon.

Microsoft,,, $300 is a lot of money, think of lowering the prices. Here’s a link for the Zune with Car Kit for $288, and it’s in stock. http://www.walmart.com/search/search-ng.do?search_constraint=3944&search_query=zune+with+car+kit&ic=24_0&Continue.x=18&Continue.y=11

Microsoft is a great company and will continue to be so. Sometimes you do stupid things. At least your contests aren’t awarding Ipods……

I noticed the guys from Root Kit Revealer are on board, Good Decision.

It's time to change to Internet Explorer 7

It’s Time to change to the Internet Explorer 7 browser. I’ve been informed of another hole in the Internet Explorer 6 Browser. http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9003468&source=NLT_AM&nlid=1

It’s time to change browsers or Upgrade your browser to Microsoft’s Internet Explorer 7. The release version is out and can be found at http://msdn.microsoft.com/ie/ . The security enhancements are numerous and the browser is sound. Microsoft has been working hard making security its top mission and IE7 does that.

A browser is a program that reads web code (html, asp, etc) and turns it into a readable format. The open source browsers (Fire Fox, Thunderbird) are available at http://www.mozilla.org/ but the IE7 should do a better job with many of the same features.

This Link is a must

This link for Google will blow your mind. I did not realize everything Google gives to us free. Classy Classy. Oh here's the most important link you'll ever use : http://www.google.com/intl/en/options/

Now the second one for Abacus Computer/Data Recovery is almost as important (OK maybe 3rd : http://www.AbacusComputer.us

Viral & Spyware can force a formatting and reinstall of OS

Once a machine has been struck by spyware or viruses theres no true way to clean the computer. If the machine is slighty infected then debugging/cleaning is an option. Read : http://www.eweek.com/article2/0,1895,2004893,00.asp?kc=EWNAVEMNL081806EOAD

The worst job for a Tech is debugging a compromised computer. The owner blames you for not being able to debug it, when it is there stupidity that caused it.

Windows 2000 users beware

A big attack on Windows 2000 desktops is under way. For more Info Read: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/security/advisory/922437.mspx

XP can be exploited also but the Win2000 machines are getting hit the most.

Apple was it wise to switch to Intel chips? are the 20 something viruses found on apples to blame?

I think Apple Computer really opened up a can of worms by firing Motorola.....

The Updates are Very Important

My constant reminders of the importance of keeping your computer updated have been heeded. If not, Read This : http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9002431&source=NLT_PM&nlid=8

This is real world stuff. Most computers that come into my shop are lacking updates, don't get hacked.

Busy Time for Microsoft Tech's

I'll be writing fewer blogs in the next weeks, months. Microsofts new products are comming out early 07 and we must know them. Vista is awesome because of the many diagnostics, but we must know how to run them and read there results. The Command Line "Commands" are great, and by 2010 I should have mastered them. Only kidding, I'm actually now reading up on "chkntfs" & "schtasks" . This new OS is awesome and I really think that once the bugs are out, apple will be done. 20 viruses discovered this week in apples and no fixes??? Microsoft went through that faze and I really thing Vista is the answer to the spyware, viruses and hackers. There's so many improvements that I'll save them for a future blog.
