Cyber Monday, busiest Online Shopping Day in the UK

Approximately £340 Million will be spend on shopping for gift tomorrow, if the forecast is accurate, this means an increase of 10% over 2008. A great chunk of the spending is expected to be made on consumer electronic, DVDs and Music CDS.

Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) free security software goes live

From 5PM today, Microsoft release is free security software, Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) which give PC users basic protection against viruses, trojans, rootkits, and spyware. The full version that is available for download in UK today has been available in US, China, Brazil and Israel for quite sometime under its prerelease code name; Morro.

In a rather un-Microsoft like generosity, the software is available to anyone who wanted to use without the need to register with Microsoft nor the number of time or number of PC you can install it on limited. The software is also not bundled as part of Windows automatic update system, its a completely stand alone software. It is envisaged MSE will help plug some of the security holes in the desktop if PC users in UK, it is estimated that about 50% of PC users do not have up to date security software on their PC.

MSE does not come with firewall, users still need to use their firewall protection and keep their PC updated with latest patches including using the most up to date browser.

Established free anti virus software provider like AVG, Alwil Avast, Avira Antivir and Comodo are sure to give MSE a run for its money but giving the huge brand recognition Microsoft has, it is expected to take a significant slice of the free security software market in very short time.

Windows 7, a month away (part2)

Another great improvement is the new Windows search – it helps you find files and programs on your computer in seconds. Your files are also organized in libraries, so you can work with them much easier; these libraries group similar files together, even though they are saved in different folder on your hard drive.

Jump lists – these are pretty great too. We all have our favorite programs and files that we use all the time, the jump lists show you the most recent ones that you have worked them, but also allow you to pin files to the list, so it is always there.

And there’s even more – if you have multiple windows cluttering up your desktop, simply grab the one that you want to work with, shake it and all the other windows will disappear, if you want to bring them back just shake that window again. If you want to take a quick look at your desktop, even when you have numerous programs open, simply move your mouse cursor to the bottom right corner of your screen and all the open windows will become transparent.

All this sounds just great, but how does Windows 7 fare when it comes to device management? Microsoft has developed a new technology, called Device Stage, which will make your life easier – you can see, manage, and configure you cameras, phones, printers, or other compatible devices that you have connected from a single window.

Have you ever tried setting up a home network between two computers running XP or Vitsa? That has never been an easy task! Sharing your files, photos, movies, or printers between two or more computers in your house is pretty straightforward with Windows 7: the new feature, called HomeGroup, is installed by default and new computers can be added to the network easily. All you have to do is run a simple Wizard, which will guide you through the process. Compare this to the setting up and networking two PCs running XP – you had to set up a host, set up a client, run a Network Wizard, then configure your computer for file and printer sharing, and it almost never worked.

As far as security is concerned, Windows 7 is adding new security features, which will help protect your computer from various threads, not to mention that the new operating system will annoy its users with less security prompts, which sure is a step in the right direction.

Is there anything bad about Windows 7? Well, we can’t say for sure before we get the final release installed on our computers. Many people have reported different problems with the Beta, but then again, this is what Betas are for – to be tested and later on improved. Some users have experienced hardware computability issues, not getting their second hard drives recognized, the Aero Peek not working properly, crashes during installation, etc., but it looks like Microsoft is listening to the people this time and we all hope that the final product will be as good as we expect it to be!
