Windows 7 Anti-Piracy Activation Update Cracked Update: KB971033
Last Updated on Friday, 26 February 2010 05:04 Written by Naota Thursday, 25 February 2010 01:29
So Microsoft just released an update, via Windows 7 Update. This update is labeled as KB971033 and is listed as “Update for Windows 7”. Immediately after it was published, there has already be confirmed reports of it not detecting existing activations on the computer and does not block a lot the new ones. This update detects 70+ activation bypasses/cracks but apparently that was not enough.
Engadget reports that this adds a new background process to your computer. This alone has made users with legitimate copies of windows uneasy and has resulted in many people opting out of this optional update.
Installed the update already? You can uninstall the Windows 7 Activation Checker KB971033 here.

Microsoft Releases Windows 7 Mobile Operating System Titled: Windows Phone 7
Last Updated on Monday, 15 February 2010 03:29 Written by Naota Monday, 15 February 2010 01:35
It’s no secret that Windows Mobile has been falling behind. This is greatly evident in the considerable amount of market-share that they have conceded to their competitors. According to comScore, Microsoft holds now just 18% of the Mobile OS market. To put this in perspective, Apple holds ~ 25% of the market, and Rimm has a market share of ~ 42%.
Perhaps what is most alarming to Microsoft is how much market-share it’s new OS competitor, Google, has been able to take. Google’s new Android operating system already holds a 5% market share, doubling from 2.5% the previous quarter.
Microsoft has killed Windows 7 Mobile and has released Windows Phone 7. Microsoft released its plan to provide over 30 new smartphones that will utilize its new Windows 7 Phone OS. These smartphones will be available in over 20 countries by the end of the year. United States providers include Sprint/Nextel, AT&T, and Verizon.
Windows Phone 7 sports a radical design change. Its new design is a copy of the Zune HD interface and is suppose to include the needs of both business and pleasure. It will incorporate the growing use of Social Networking by offering many new internal features.
Additionally Microsoft promises to be stricter on what phones/hardware they will allow to use their new mobile operating system, thus dramatically decreasing quality-related problems.
I hope they do well with this redesign… they sure as heck need it. We will try to review this operating system for you sometime! For now you can view the rumored features of Windows Phone 7.
Ubuntu That Looks Like Windows XP

This is really cool in my opinion since Windows XP is my favorite Windows OS. Ylmf OS, an operating system based on Ubuntu, has been designed to look very similar to Windows XP. It is only in Chinese currently, but that will hopefully change some day.

Windows 7 Dominos
Last Updated on Saturday, 6 March 2010 05:31 Written by Naota Wednesday, 28 October 2009 02:45
As part of the celebration for the release of Windows 7, 20 Microsoft employees got together and created a domino setup using 7,000 dominos. Why they didn’t just use 7,777 dominos, I don’t know. But as you can see after about a minute and a half, Windows 7 experiences its first error.
The video is a little slow but still. It’s kind of entertaining.
