Windows 9 release date, news and rumours
With Windows 8 and now Windows 8.1, Microsoft tried - not entirely successfully - to make tablets part of a continuum that goes from number-crunching workstations and high-end gaming rigs through all-in-one touchscreen media systems and thin-and light notebooks down to slender touch tablets. The general consensus is that it still has a long way to go to produce a unified OS. Despite rumours of an aggressive development and shipping schedule, there's no official word about what's in the next version of Windows, but there are plenty of rumours (many of them from Chinese enthusiast sites that claim to have leaked builds), plus more reliable information from job adverts for the Windows and Windows Phone teams. Could Windows 9 launch Microsoft back into business? There are also patents, which may or may not be relevant, and some rare comments from developers on the Windows team. Cut to the chaseWhat is it? As for interim releases, we'll probably also get Windows 8.2 before we get Windows 9.

Windows 8 vs Windows 7: 8 ways it's different
Windows 8 is a totally new version of Windows that, in addition to the traditional desktop, also includes a new-style interface for use with touchscreens - whether that's on a touchscreen laptop, all-in-one PC or tablet. And, while not all PCs will be touchscreen when Windows 8 launches, expect more and more devices to have touchscreens towards the new year - even if it's a traditional laptop. Windows 7 was a big hit for Microsoft, turning things around from the troublesome Windows Vista and reminding people that the Redmond giant was not quite ready to hang up its hat just yet. The Windows 8 release date is here and the challenge for Microsoft is how it builds on the success of Windows 7 and show that Windows can work on iPad-like tablets. But it still needs to dominate on laptops and desktops. Windows 8 isn't a phone OS - but does share a great deal of design language and code with its sibling, the new Windows Phone 8. Here are 8 key differences that Windows 8 brings to the table. 1. 2.
Science Friday: Rockets, Planets, Stars & Bears…oh my
by Kayla Iacovino , Filed under: Science/Technology , trackback Welcome back to Science Friday! I missed you all so much last week. So, to make up for it, this week we’ve got a double dose of awesome. 32 New Exoplanets Discovered Astronomers announced Monday the discovery of 32 new exoplanets, or planets outside of our solar system. Artist’s conception of an exoplanet NASA rolls out Ares This week at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, NASA literally rolled out its new Ares I rocket, the first rocket other than the space shuttle to stand at Launch Pad 39-B in the last 34 years. Should NASA Scrap its New Rocket? So we are supposed to fly by the Moon/Mars/asteroids and not land? The panel’s findings do not differ much from the series of hearings over the summer and the report released last month, but they conclude that NASA will not be able to push beyond low-Earth orbit without a $3 billion budget increase. Will we ever get to see the Ares carry men and women into space? #FollowFriday
Account Lockout Tools
After you determine the pattern for the account lockouts and narrow down your scope to a specific client computer or member server, you should gather detailed information about all of the programs and services that are running on that computer. Some of the information that you should obtain includes: Mapped network drives Logon scripts that map network drives RunAs shortcuts Accounts that are used for service account logons Processes on the client computers Programs that may pass user credentials to a centralized network program or middle-tier application layer The following sections discuss the tools that you can use to help you gather information from the network environment. The LockoutStatus.exe Tool The LockoutStatus.exe displays information about a locked out account. DC Name: Displays all domain controllers that are in the domain. Where to Obtain the LockoutStatus.exe Tool How to Install the LockoutStatus.exe Tool How to Use the LockoutStatus.exe Tool The ALockout.dll Tool
Blocking Unwanted Connections with a Hosts File
What it does ... You can use a modified HOSTS file to block ads, banners, 3rd party Cookies, 3rd party page counters, web bugs, and even most hijackers and possibly unwanted programs. This is accomplished by blocking the connection(s) that supplies these little gems. The Hosts file is loaded into memory (cache) at startup, so there is no need to turn on, adjust or change any settings with the exception of the DNS Client service (see below). Example - the following entry 0.0.0.0 ad.doubleclick.net blocks all files supplied by that DoubleClick Server to the web page you are viewing. Using a well designed HOSTS file can speed the loading of web pages by not having to wait for these ads, annoying banners, hit counters, etc. to load. In case you're wondering ... this all happens in microseconds, which is much faster than trying to fetch a file from half way around the world. Special Note: new Windows 10 users ... the MVPS Hosts file installs just fine, no need to make any changes. Important!
