Microsoft on the 11th night clarified this, saying that free anti-virus software will be free to download, will not be bundled in the Windows 7. On the 11th morning, media reports, Microsoft Windows 7 will be bundled free antivirus software, the news shocked the domestic anti-virus software industry. Microsoft relevant person in charge on the 11th night in an interview with Sina science and technology, which clarified that This is a misunderstanding, Windows 7 will not be bundled free antivirus software, Microsoft will offer free downloads of antivirus software.

Microsoft announced in November 2008 will be released in the second half of this year a free antivirus software, code-named Morro, the application system, including Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7, to help consumers fend off viruses, spyware, rootkit and Trojan. Morro will provide a free download. Prior to the introduction of Microsoft charges Windows Live OneCare antivirus software will be a moratorium on the sale in June this year.

Domestic anti-virus software vendors tension

Microsoft announced the release of 2008 free antivirus software, antivirus vendors nervous in.. This time the “bundling” made a number of reports showing anti-virus software vendors – Microsoft in the operating system has a 90% share, if the Windows 7 bundled anti-virus software, means that other anti-virus software companies are likely this. Qihoo said in a statement the company to support Microsoft’s push for free antivirus software, they think this is an industry trend. Qihoo 360’s security guards is the high share of free software security tools. Ruixing said in a statement that did not see Microsoft’s official description, can not determine the authenticity of the news, but Morro Ruixing that only the equivalent of Microsoft’s anti-Trojan tools, the industry need not panic.

“Bundling” misunderstood the origin of the investigation reported

Although Microsoft has this news been clarified, but can cause waves of the report, is how out of? In order to eliminate the trade’s concern, Sina Technology conducted a survey which showed that is mainly due to Chinese English to inaccurate translation and misunderstanding caused by the media.

Last Saturday, was held in Beijing, Microsoft’s “Windows 7 RC Experience the beginning of” activities. Windows Products Division, Mike Nash, vice president of the United States is from Beijing, and from all over the country hundreds of media exchanges. In a question and answer session, a reporter asked the “Microsoft will release Windows 7 in the binding of free anti-virus software.”

After the original English text, mutatis mutandis, Mike Nash of the answer is, “We will be making an anti-virus only technology available for Windows 7″. This sentence can be translated as: “We will develop a response to the new Windows 7-specific virus prevention and control technology. “personnel at the scene to provide translation of his to the” In fact, we will launch when Windows 7 Microsoft’s own antivirus software technologies, listed in the Windows 7 when we will provide such a product. ”

“Windows 7 to market such products” has been the presence of a number of IT professional online media misinterpreted as Windows 7 will be bundled with antivirus software. In fact, even if the incorrect understanding of the translation, Mike Nash also did not mention would be tied up, Windows 7 At the same time when it is published to provide antivirus software download is also possible.

IT professionals reported that the news media, other media also reported this further, and ultimately in the industry led to a small waves.

Even then, even if misunderstood as vice president of Microsoft said it will bundle other software, a matter of common sense, the media should also be careful of the message. Windows 7 has been released RC version, which does not bundle antivirus software, according to the software industry attempt, RC version and official version of the gap only to find bugs, will not be adding new features. Therefore, to judge from this perspective, Windows 7 the possibility of anti-virus software bundled little.

British anti-virus software company Sophos recently made a survey: a lot of Internet users admit their site in different use the same password; only a small minority of people who never use the same password twice.

The company also added that 41% of Internet users said they would use a fixed password; and only 8% of Internet users aware of the complexity and the importance of enhanced password. Clooney is a Sophos senior technology consultant.

He said: “It is worrisome that, three years, few computer users aware of the danger of a simple password in different sites all using the same risk of password did not arouse enough attention.”

He pointed out that: “In the social networks and other networks have become more common account, the network also has a lot of hackers. If you use the same password, such as Facebook, Amazon and online bank accounts, it will only make the password hackers The motive is more easily achieved, because once informed of this password, the evil attempts can also access your other accounts, and steal information for profit, and this is also the matter sooner or later. ”

He also pointed out that: “As the use of the word so easy to remember password, so this is the reason why computer users to make use of the word because of the password. Therefore, you can use each word in a sentence of the first letter to form their own password . At the same time, in order to make your password more difficult to break, you can use the figures to replace certain letters, so, you can not have to worry about how to network hackers furious, which can be a peace of mind.

A long time with Windows, and inevitably will begin to lack of freshness, so some people will try to install Linux, but the problem has emerged, if Linux is installed improperly, could destroy the original windows. If the two systems to maintain integrity and mutual non-aggression, everyone will be happy, because this user-friendly system to switch to work.

Cygwin can help us in the Windows environment to run most Linux applications, help in the cygwin1.dll, you can create a simulation environment for Linux API. Cygwin must be recompiled to run, there is one very simple and can help you experience the Linux, but also you can try a large number of the more common Linux applications, Cygwin has been widely used at present.

I believe that the use of virtual machine is the most commonly used approach, the benefits of virtualization is the “seamless” experience. To manually install a Linux system is not very simple, but simple virtualization so that all together, at least do not need to re-partition the hard disk. At present, better have a virtual application VirtualBox (free) and VMware (charges), virtual applications have come a long time, and now on the USB, wireless networks, DVD and others have very good support, but the virtual operating system and not suitable for everyone, because to require a computer to have a higher CPU with the memory in order to experience the real virtualization of resources will lead to inadequate performance of its functions and there are many places unsatisfactory.

Another installation of Linux virtual popularity soared recently, the application is coLinux (Cooperative Linux) kernel, the virtual approach with the traditional biggest difference is the virtual complete control of the hardware. There ooperative Virtual Machine (CVM), but the Linux community is not widely used. Here are the core of a situation on the use of the list coLinux. Of course, there are easy-to-use Ulteo, Ulteo is a Ubuntu derivative coLinux plug-and-play applications, there are powerful software support XP and Vista (32 bit) is also easy to install.

Wubi (Windows-based Ubuntu Installer), extreme recommend new users to Linux because of its low-risk and safety. Wubi installation as a general software installation, no need for an independent district, and the installation is complete a full-featured, very good support for third-party software is also very easy to uninstall. Wubi is flawed, that is installed on the NT file system, it would give people a year will be a long time the feeling of lack of maintenance, aging is very serious.

U.S. technology blog Silicon Alley Insider Denver洛梅尔Author (Dan Frommer) today, the author pointed out that although Apple’s iPhone provides the company with a strong growth momentum, the leading mobile technology and the profits are very substantial, but its market share is still very limited . Following is the full text: mobile research firm ABI Research recently estimated that global mobile phone sales for the first quarter of 258 million, sales in March to 3,800,000. If there is no deviation in the forecast means that Apple’s iPhone accounted for only 1.5 percent of market share.

This also means that Apple is still huge room for growth, but also shows that the majority of mobile phone users to choose other brands of mobile phones, not all users have the opportunity to purchase the iPhone. We believe that the mobile phone market with more and more similar to the desktop market. With the importance of upgrading the software, users of mobile loyalty platform also improve. BlackBerry users are more willing to use the BlackBerry, and iPhone users more like iPhone … …

There are many users think that Apple should improve the current situation in order to maintain the growth of iPhone, the user’s recommendations include:

- IPhone software platform to keep ahead of the competition. This is Apple has already done that last month the company announced that it would launch this summer in the iPhone 3.0 software.

- Improve the iPhone. This may become a reality this summer. Apple is likely to be held in June at the Worldwide Developers Conference, or to display a variety of new iPhone. Although unlikely with the current iPhone has too many different, but will be faster and better.

- To maintain low prices iPhone: iPhone sales of 199 U.S. dollars is more than double the 399 U.S. dollars. If the price is 99 U.S. dollars will be reduced to what? We believe that this year may see a ultra-low price of iPhone.

- The expansion of distribution channels of iPhone: Apple said this year will enter the China market, will also be in the United States with more operators, but a short period of time is also very difficult to become a reality.

- Continue to expand its iPhone operating system platforms. iPod Touch is a great product, why not introduce a range between the iPhone and the iMac flat-panel equipment?
