Vista’s SP1 changes the Search feature to allow users to choose a default desktop search program by using Set Default Programs from Control Panel.
You may experience problems with Vista after you install SP1. Here are a few pointers to get you up and running again if you have the following problems:
- Sound Missing or No Sound
- Unable To find the Group Policy Management Console (GPMC).
- System Restore Points and Shadow Copies are missing.
This week, Microsoft has updated the set of offerings which permit end users to access free copies of Windows Vista and Windows XP SP2. Despite the fact that giving out free versions of its operating system contradicts the Redmond company’s proprietary business model, both its latest Windows client and its predecessor are up for grabs at no charge at all. The downloads are made available via the Internet Explorer Application Compatibility VPC Image.
With Windows 7, Microsoft could diverge from the now traditional monolithic blocks which are designed to deliver functionality, such as hardware management, support for application runtime, a disk file system etc. In this context, Windows 7 could be componentized in order to allow end users to build their own platforms.

Whether you want it or not, you may accidentally install Apple’s Safari web browser on your computer by doing a routine update to your iTunes. That sounds strange? It is, as it seems to be a rather pushy strategy from Apple to promote their new software.

Microsoft is by no means all about the Windows operating system. In fact, Windows Vista Service Pack 1, Windows XP Service Pack 3, as well as the next iteration of the Windows platform, Windows 7, are old news by now.

At this point in time, Microsoft has made available the Singularity Research Development Kit (RDK) version 1.1for download via CodePlex. Still, the new operating system is not a Microsoft open source project, but one aimed at academic non-commercial use.
