Error is that they are infected as many websites as 10000.

“Zero Day” Criminals can use to the victims for the management team to infected Web sites.

Christopher Budd of the Microsoft software giant said “encourages all customers from IE to test and deploy this update as soon as possible.”

He also said that the threat of Microsoft led to the mobilization of security engineering teams around the world offer a software-healing “in an unprecedented period of eight days.”

Company Security Response Team said that the patch is composed of more than 300 different updates for more than half a dozen versions of IE for about 50 languages.

“Even though the release of emergency response, the process is not yet finished,” said Security Response Alliance director Mike Reavey.

“There is additional support for clients and further improve our efforts in product development.”

Microsoft emphasizes that the error was detected only exist in IE 7 for all versions of Windows, but that IE 6 and “beta” version of IE 8 “potentially vulnerable”.

Users who have enabled automatic updates will receive the patch in the next 24 hours, while others can gain access to its network.

Step would mean that the basic model costs $ 199 (£ 112) – cheaper than the best-selling Nintendo Wii. He said that the prices of other models Xbox less than $ 50.

The court also means that the Xbox 360 is about half the suggested retail price of PlayStation 3.

Cut the United States – follows a similar movement in Japan. Microsoft said it had no plans to further reduce prices for Europeans.

Christmas console

The price cut will come into force on 5 September. Microsoft said it wanted the base model price dives below psychologically important barrier of $ 200.

About 75% of all console sales were less than the price, said Microsoft.

Price $ 199 applies only to Xbox 360 arcade that the unit of 256 MB of memory on board to replace the hard disk. Adding a 20 GB hard drive, could add up to $ 90 of the total value.

XBOX 360 PRICES

• Xbox 360 Arcade – was $279 – now $199
• Xbox 360 Pro – was $349 – now $299
• Xbox 360 Elite was $449 – now $399

In late August, Microsoft announced that prices of Japanese Xbox 360 could fall in September. Court means, Xbox Arcade costs 19800 yen ($ 182) will be cheaper than Wii.

However, Microsoft said it had no plans to lower prices for European console. In a statement he said: “Prices are listed in the region. We do not lower prices in the region, to advertise.”

In March, Microsoft prices in Europe, which means that the recommended price for the Arcade £ 159,99. This is lower than European prices for Wii.

Analysts said Microsoft, the decision was taken in an attempt to launch Xbox sales in the run-up to Christmas. In recent months, the console rivals Sony and Nintendo have and outsell.

“Microsoft recognizes that he needs to do something, and I think it can afford,” said Michael Pachter, an analyst at Wedbush Morgan. “They came to the view of most household penetration and sales of additional software.

Microsoft has formed an alliance with a group of activists Rock vote to raise interest in the upcoming elections among young people.

As part of the link Xbox Live users can also participate in surveys to assess their voting intentions.

Forum on Xbox Live will also be used for the views of players, along with candidates.

The party policy

“For our goal of registering two million young Americans in autumn this year, we have to go where they are young Americans,” said Heather Smith, executive director of Rock voters in the statement. “There is no doubt in our mind that many of them are Xbox 360 and Xbox Live.”

Microsoft argues that Rock Vote campaign for the use of Xbox Live will begin on August 25.

In the past, Rock Vote MySpace also promote bands to promote his music through social networking site for fans to register to vote.

Working with Rock the vote, Microsoft also plans presence in the Democratic and Republican party conventions to educate politicians about their members and positions.

Some aspects of Xbox Live are free, but the monthly fee allows members of other console owners in online games. In the United Kingdom, the annual fee £ 39,99.

In May 2008, Microsoft announced that 12 million Xbox Live subscribers over 26 countries.

Currently, it is difficult for customers, changes in the software company from computer to computer quickly and without having to buy another license.

Under the new rules, Microsoft is a requirement for obtaining licenses for 41 new server-based programs.

Step seen as an attempt to catch up to defend the opponent’s “virtualization” software.

Changes in the conditions for its software licenses, with effect from 1 September.

Under the current system, products for Microsoft servers transfer every 90 days. Any movement also means the reappointment of a license for a new car.

The new system will allow us to move “as appropriate”.

Many large companies have applications such as e-mail engines, in the so-called virtual machine, so that they can easily be moved if the major hardware fault or develops more capacity is required.

In addition, wide dissemination of any move to the so-called “cloud computing, software services through a network requires much greater flexibility.

“In this latest version of its rules for licensing, Microsoft is removing obstacles to the use of virtual, which should help to further accelerate the adoption rates,” said Al Gillen, an analyst at research firm IDC, a communiqué.

Move widely regarded as a belated attempt to combat Microsoft competitors, such as VMWare, which first move to virtualization software and applications.

In the past few weeks in detail about the project with the name Midori, that Microsoft Windows, when they are to retirement. Its purpose is to use virtualization in desktop computers.

Microsoft said that information on Windows-7-engineering is common for visitors to the two technical conferences, running.

7 Windows developers will continue its work as a professional developers conference, and Windows Hardware Engineering Conference.

Based on Vista, Windows 7 expected in January 2010.

Announcement of the discovery of a new blog on Windows-7, written by software engineers.

At present detailed information on Windows 7 were scarce. Writing in the blog two senior engineers for projects, Jon Devos and Steven Sinofsky, this is because Microsoft does not want to talk about the functions that never made the finished product.

In addition, cautious, in his words, we are talking about technologies and functions in a manner that leads to confusion among its partners.

Microsoft also reluctant to talk about Windows 7, as it continues to assist the Windows Vista operating system as its flagship.

What is known about Windows is that 7 of the Vista components used in its center, and this tactile interface, if necessary screen can recognize gestures tasks. For example Einklemmen screen can be used for closing or documents to manipulate the images.

Industry experts speculated, that Windows-7 more virtualization technologies and tools on board, which is easier for people to get their data and programs on different machines.

Called Midori, lowering the operating system is quite different from Microsoft, older programs.

It focuses on the Internet and ends with a unit on one Windows PC.

That is Microsoft, in response to its rivals use of “virtualization” as a way to solve the many problems of modern computers.

Cable Tie Break

Despite Midori was presented today heard that more detailed information has already been published in Software Development Times After see internal documents from Microsoft technology to describe.

Midori such Cree, which is in development for Windows is unlikely to be able to cope with the pace of future changes in technology and how people use it.

Windows works well at a time when most people, machines, to make all of its work. The operating system as a holder for the common elements of Windows applications for sex.

“If you think about how the operating system boots,” said Dave Austin, director of European products Citrix, is loaded onto the hard disk is physically on the computer.

“The operating system is very closely related to hardware,” he said.

However, of all types of blocks, as a result of collecting devices in particular machine.

If Windows ends up being less important over time as applications become more OS agnostic where will Microsoft make its money?

Michael Silver, Gartner

This means, he said that Windows can deal with the more modern forms of work in which people are highly mobile and very promiscuous of the devices they use to secure their data – is that the photos, spreadsheets or e-mail.

In addition, he said, when people work, or, now plays, they did so with a combination of data and processes take place locally or in one of a number of other sites on the Internet.

Asked about Midori BBC News, Microsoft, a statement that said: “Midori is one of many ongoing projects in incubation Microsoft. This is simply a matter of incubation time too early to talk about it.”

Virtual Machines

Midori is widely seen as ambitious attempts by Microsoft to keep abreast of the work of virtualization is the implementation of the entire computer industry.

Darren Brown, data center consulting company Avanade, said virtualization was the first in the data centers of companies with a large number of servers to manage.

Delivery of applications such as e-mail engine or database on the computer on all kinds of problems if the machines were held maintenance, should be required to update or security patch should be applied.

Putting virtual servers on a single physical box, the company managed to reduce the number of machines and managed to get more of them, “he said.

“The real savings is in the management of physical equipment and licences,” he said. “Physically, there is less tin with a handle.”

In addition, Mr. Brown said if the natural use of virtual server can not be easily transferred to another team.

“The same applies to the benefits of a PC,” he said. “In the Microsoft environment, we have fought for years with applications that are written so much that they are not the way to work with others.

“Virtualization, which several new solutions to traditional problems,” he said.

Many companies are still very old applications with the latest operating system is not implemented, “he said. By the virtual machine on a computer, software older can stay one step ahead.

The virtual machine, as the name, is a copy of the software computer operating system and related programs.

Close Windows

“On the desktop, we human beings, they are important to understand the actual desktop hardware,” said Dan Chu, vice president of new products and markets specialist on virtualization VMWare.

Some virtual machines, “he said, as a Windows PC and practical purposes. But many now VMS new songs for industry, sector or workplace.

“People have their applications, operating system you want to use against him until he had a package together with political and security policy they want, and use it as a virtual client,” he said.

In these virtual machine, operating system kernel can be very small and easily transferred to various devices. That, many believe, is the idea Midori – creation easily portable operating system that easily mat for various applications.

Microsoft’s terms for Windows is currently forbidden to do so within the virtual machine, said Mr. Chu.

Michael Silver, vice president for research at Gartner, said that development Midori is a reasonable step for Microsoft.

“The value of Microsoft Windows, which today is the product will decline as more requests for transfer on the Internet, and Microsoft should edge up to that,” he said.

“I would be surprised if there is evidence that nothing would be this has not been kicked around,” he said.

Big problem, which costs from Microsoft Windows to an end, he said, as he once again do their business objectives.

“Eighty per cent of sales of Windows, when the new PCs sold,” he said. “This is a huge sum of money, because they do not have to go out and get.

“If Windows does not end less important than being agnostic application to become a Microsoft OS, which make their money?” Question.

She cash for the Apache organization, monitors the development of open-source web server software.

He also promised to open part of its software and communication protocols, so that developers can freely explore and use.

Trains will be important for Microsoft, because the former opposition on how open source software is written and saved.

Cash and code

There were ads on Open Source Convention in a speech Sam Ramji – director of platform strategy for Microsoft.

The software is written in the context of the ethics of open-source developer offers free access to the internal functioning of the Code.

Unlike source software from Microsoft, hides and serves only to a limited number of people.

In the past, this gap, Microsoft criticized the free software movement and its methods of development.

European Union regulators for many years fought to force Microsoft to release the source code of its Windows, and voted against the company exceeded 1.6 million in the past five years because its software more compatible with rivals.

In his speech, Mr Ramji announced that Microsoft has become a platinum sponsor Apache Software Foundation. Microsoft does not disclose how much money, but at the Platinum sponsor makes donations at least 100,000 dollars (£ 50,000).

Many other Apache Web-server software works Microsoft Internet Information Server (IIS). According to Web tracking firm Netcraft 49% of the Apache web period, compared with 35.9% for IIS from Microsoft.

Donation happens after Microsoft has partnerships with some developers Apache organization to open its document formats.

In the blog explaining its decision, Mr. Ramji said the movement should not be regarded as a deviation from their own web server software.

Microsoft also promised to release detailed information on some of its communications protocols under the promise of open source. This allows developers for their own purposes without fear of prosecution of Microsoft.

Finally, Microsoft has helped create a patch of open-source database project.
