While Microsoft has missed the initially announced deadline for making the Windows 7 vendor data available through the Application Compatibility Toolkit 5.5, the company promises that the information is coming.

Windows 7 RTM Compatibility Data ACT 5.5 Update Is Coming
Remember when everyone wanted to keep computer viruses off of computers because they were simply destructive? There were those that their sole purpose was to wipe data off of your hard drive. Some were bold enough to fire off a message on your screen, before continually rebooting your computer or other annoying actions.
Then along came spyware, a separate subset of computer viruses. Their purpose was to look for information on your computer or direct you somewhere on the Internet in order to get data from you. Spyware does not always want to harm your computer, although it can in the process of trying to extract information from your computer.
One type of spyware that is incredibly harmful, and typically very quiet, is the keylogger. What keyloggers do is exactly what the name implies, it logs or records your key strokes. They sit on your computer and watch what you type. While recording your key strokes, it will send them off to another computer where they are reassembled, usually by criminals, and put into a format they can use. Think about it, when you pay bills online, if you access your bank account through the Internet, maybe even an email to friends; they may all be recorded.
“Well I have the latest and greatest anti-spyware, anti-virus, and a firewall protecting my computer.” your friend says. Fair enough, but how often does he or she update their software? How often is their computer scanned with their security tools? What type of Internet sites are they visiting? How apt are they to open email from anyone? The better question here would be, “What is the harm in having one extra application that encrypts your key strokes, is light on system resources, and is designed in mind to circumvent even

Volume licensing customers for Microsoft Office 2010 suites and applications who install volume editions of Office client software will require activation, even with a volume license key (VLK).
There are a whole bunch of reasons why Windows 7 should appeal to businesses, but one threat–the still-sluggish economy–could overshadow all of those reasons to move to the new operating system.
“I think they have a really good product at a really bad time,” Directions on Microsoft analyst Michael Cherry said in a telephone interview this week.
Among Windows 7’s business-oriented features is “XP Mode”–a downloadable add-on that lets applications that won’t work natively in Vista or Windows 7 run in a free, virtualized copy of Windows XP.

You can look at it as the beginnings of real interactive television — or simply one big episode of the cult comedy TV series “Mystery Science Theater 3000″ brought to life. In any event, thanks to forthcoming plans from IBM and Fox, viewers will soon be able to talk back to their flat-screen televisions via social media such as Twitter and Facebook. The blogosphere has dug up a Big Blue patent application involving Texas-based researchers for a remote control device that will let viewers blog, tweet or Facebook-update their thoughts about what they watching on TV.
Samsung will be the latest handset maker to get an app store of its own. The company announced plans to introduce a marketplace for games and other applications from developers that will launch Sept. 14.
The app store will initially be available in Europe. And only select models of Samsung phones, including the Omnia and I8910 HD devices can access the app store, says the company.
Samsung is late to the game. Since Apple introduced the iPhone App Store as a centralized clearing house for mobile applications in 2008, app stores have become an important part of the business strategy for most handset makers. BlackBerry manufacturer Research In Motion, Palm and Nokia have all launched app stores this year. Even cellphone carrier Verizon has been courting developers to create programs for its users.
The lack of Samsung’s app store’s availability in the U.S. is likely to dampen developer interest in its announcement. Earlier this month, the company announced the availability of a mobile widget software developer kit (SDK). The SDK would allow programmers to create widgets for different Samsung phones that use different operating systems, including the company’s own version. The company also plans to hold a widget developer camp in San Francisco from September 11-13.
For Samsung, that may not be enough to woo developers away from Apple, Palm and Android.
