Windows 7 : Microsoft next frontier

Ada yg udah pernah denger ttg microsoft windows 7, kelanjutan dari Ms Windows Vista ??

Awalnya gue dapet info seperti ini.

By Doug Barney
WINDOWS 7 MAY SHIP SOONER THAN EXPECTED
The next Windows client will probably ship before most of you even move to Vista. Windows 7, as it's currently called, may ship late next year.

http://redmondmag.com/news/article.asp?editorialsid=9435

I'm hoping that Microsoft re-architects the Windows client to truly exploit multicore processors. The OS itself could be more multithreaded so operations are distributed against processors. It could make the multitasking -- instead of largely sharing a single processor -- work across the cores. And Microsoft could revamp the API to make it easier for developers to parallelize their apps.

Technical Stuff
Mo tau apa yg gue dapet seterusnya dari microsoft windows 7 ini ?? Yg gosipnya dipercepat peluncurannya, jadi gak beda jauh ama vista ???

Kalau Vista adalah Windows 6, dan XP Windows 5.1, maka Windows 7 ini di wikipedia, disebut Blackcomb, atau Vienna. Diperkirakan release pertengahan 2009, tapi bila mengikuti konvensi, tahun keluarnya OS, maka sebenernya sekitar 2010. Tapi karena vista masuk ke seri produk gagal, maka dipercepat releasenya.

Apa sih yg baru ???
Kayanya cm kernelnya aja yg baru. Winmin, kl gak salah. Release windows 7 ini bakal jadi client dari windows server 2008 yang direlease akhir tahun kemaren, dimana dari versi betanya udah banyak di buat manual booknya. Kl di windows vista, full installnya bisa mencapai 4 GB, di
Windows server 2008, server core nya sendiri 1 GB. Maka winmin yg bakal jadi core dari windows 7, bakal dikotakin menjadi 25 MB. Jadi sistemnya, sepertinnya microsoft bikin kotak2 cluster kecil dimana winmin jadi main core nya. Untuk fungsionalitas lain, bakal tinggal ditambahin aja kotak-kotak yg lain. Jadi di masa depan, sistemnya bakal kotak2 kaya
gini. Mo apa tinggal pasang. Kl gak beli, yaa.. Kotaknya di ilangin. Gak spt windows XP, yg sebenernya fungsinya di hidden aja. Cari aja di web underground, windows XP Home bisa diubah menjadi Windows XP Professional, dgn cm mengubah beberapa hal saja. Simple yaa.. :). Kl disini kayanya gak bisa, bakal bener2 terpisah.

Touch capable
Walaupun lebih banyak diperuntukan buat tablet versionnya, tapi katanya bakal dibikin lebih hebat dari itouch yg dirilis ama apple. Segimana hebatnya kah ??

File System.
Belum diketahui apakah winfs, file system yg sebelumnya digosipkan dipakai di vista (yg ternyata gak jadio), sekarang akan dirilis dan dimasukkan kedalam Windows 7 ?? Kemungkinan besar sih iya, soalnya pengganti NTFS ini, teknologinya saja sudah cukup matang pas sebelum release windows vista, apalagi nanti pas windows 7. WinFS = Windows Future Storage.

User Interface
Ada sedikit improvement dari windows vista. Tp yg pasti core nya buat UI sama2 make ribbon user interface di office 2007.

Virtualization
Sampai dengan tingkat tertentu, teknologi virtualization dgn nama HyperVisor, mgkn diterapkan. Tp untuk detailnya masih rumor saja.

Sistem Penjualan
Gosipnya, di release dalam 32 bit dan 64 bit. Versi client untuk business ama versi consumer/retail. Yang seru dari sistem ini, adalah Microsoft mulai launch campaign buat mengubah cara pembayarannya. Yang biasanya kita beli putus, en dikasih service packs berkala. Maka sistem pembelian yang baru ini adalah kita sewa berkala, alias subscription. Ya... Kaya langganan TV ssatelit/ TV kabel gitu kali yaa.. Jadi kl lupa bayar, lgs byar pet. Atau nanti khusus di Indonesia, kayanya bakalan ada sistem voucher. Kebayang gak sih ?? Kl lupa isi lupa microsoftnya, lgs masuk masa tenggang. :D Gak kebayang. Tp yg pasti, kayanya dampak terhadap pembajakannya sangat besar. Karenan sistemnya berbayar secara periodik, maka dipastikan bakal ada petugas yang ngecek pelanggan. Wow... Kayanya Windows XP bakal jadi sistem microsoft windwows terlama sepanjang sejarah :)

On partition magic : Init failed : Error 117.

On partition magic :
Init failed : Error 117.
Partition's drive letter cannot be identified.

It was happen on my disk.
Downgrade lenovo 2000 v200 to XP from vista. First partition is filled by lenovo, about 7 GB. Downgrade and kept the drive. The other partition Is cllean installed and clean format. Now XP running, wiith computer management has another NTFS partition with no letter. Healthy (Unknown partition).

Partition magic, forbid their program to runs, cause their afraid to make more damage.

Solution :

Just let your drive. Take it as it is. The solution is low level format or clean install with deleting all drive/partition.

This is a known issue with Partition Magic and the protection partition that Windows Disk Protection creates. If Partition Magic can't assign a drive letter to all partitions it gets upset.

Once the protection partition is put in place by Windows Disk Protection, disk partitioning must not be changed or new hard drives added before the Windows partition. Otherwise you can mess up Windows Disk Protection, which remembers the physical drive and partition numbers of the Windows partition.

You also cannot resize the protection partition once it is in place. If you want to change partitions using Partition Magic, turn off Windows Disk Protection, restart, delete the protection partition - called Healthy (Unknown) where your unallocated disk space used to be - and then use Partition Magic to repartition the disk.

Note : On Windows SP2, its not available :D

1) Click "Start", "All Programs", and "Microsoft Shared Computer Toolkit"

2) Click "Windows Disk Protection"

3) Next to "Action at next restart" click "Keep It Off"

4) Click, Reboot and it will be off

Backup Software with Vista

Ini bukan iklan, walaupun gue sangat recommend acronis true image.
Tp yg penting sih, gimana sih cara kerja sesungguhnya dari system
restore -- yg ternyata cm nyimpen last known good configuration. Bukan
backup data. Yg kl elo kehilangan data, yaa... Berarti wasallam...

Walaupun udah ada tools terbaru di vista, tp ternyata masih ada
kekurangannya. Penasaran khan..??

Trus, bagaimana dgn file yg di enkripsi ??? Nah lho

Lumayan seru kok wawancaranya.
Dibaca aja..

Third Party Backup Software - Still Needed with Vista

Complete Transcript of Stephen Lawton - Acronis Interview Host - Alan
Ashendorf on Let's Talk Computers, February 10, 2007

Alan: As more users mover to the new Vista Operating System, making sure
that all critical data is being backed up is more important than ever.
Our guest today, is Stephen Lawton, Senior Director of Strategic
Marketing with Acronis. And welcome back to Let's Talk Computers,
Stephen.

Stephen: Thanks for having me back.

Alan: Anytime that we install something new on our computer system, we
really need to make sure that we have all of our critical data
completely backed up. And this is especially true when we are installing
is a new operating system, isn't it?

Stephen: It's not just adding a new operating system. The issue is
exactly the same if you are adding a new program. The issue is the same
if you are adding new hardware. Whenever you change a working system you
need to protect yourself in case something unusual happens. You might
have a power outage; you might have a bad driver. You never know. But,
anytime you change a system you should always back it up first.

Alan: If I get a brand program, let's say it's a new word processor and
I want to install it on my computer, the safest thing to do is to make a
back up before I install this new word processor because I really don't
know what the word processor is going to do to things that are already
on my computer. It may work just perfectly, but Murphy has a tendency to
pop up at the worst possible case and this will be no exception. It will
find something that won't be compatible.

Stephen: You know, I always thought that Murphy was an optimist. Things
will go wrong. They always do. In the case of upgrading from Windows XP
to Vista, there are so many more things that are changing. There are
just so many more possibilities of something going wrong.

Alan: You're looking at first of all, installing a new operating system,
which means the existing programs and hardware that you have on your
system may or may not work. Even though Microsoft has a compatibility
program that you run to tell you that everything is going to be fine -
there are some programs that still are not going to "play nice" with the
Operating System. And then, on top of that, even if you've got
everything working correctly, you're going to have programs that are
going to send out patches to make their program compatible with Vista
and you take a chance of something going wrong.

Stephen: We've all seen patches from all kinds of companies that have
gone out and didn't do what the software vendor thought it might.
There's so much that can possibly go wrong. You talked about the utility
that Microsoft tells you if your system is Vista compatible. I have a
laptop. I bought it late last year. I did run that utility on my laptop.
It found at least five potential issues with my laptop. You're talking
about an almost-new laptop. You're absolutely right. Having an image of
your machine in a known working state is terribly important. If anything
should possibly go wrong, all you do is restore the image. If nothing
else, you're back to where you were before you started and your machine
will work.

Alan: Microsoft has a process called "System Restore". Why can't we rely
on the system' snapshots and then use that to restore us back to a known
state? Why do we need to go out and buy a third party software program
like Acronis True Image 10 Home in order to back us up? Why can't we use
what comes with the operating system?

Stephen: Let's talk about System Restore for a moment. System Restore is
designed to return the operating system back to a known good working
state. It's not designed to restore your data. So, if there's a problem;
let's say there is a virus or if there is a bad patch, you can use
System Restore to bring your operating system back in time. But, if you
have damaged any of your programs, any of your configuration files, your
data, System Restore won't help you there.

With the launch of Vista, Microsoft has also introducing something
called Complete PC, which is an imaging program similar to Acronis True
Image. But again, it's very rudimentary. It will not do for example,
incremental or differential images. It creates a single image and that's
the image you have. You can go back to that image or your can again,
create another single image.

But with a third party product, such as Acronis True Image, we give you
the ability to set points in time. So, you can go back to your last full
image backup. Let's say that you make an incremental each day of the
week. You might just want to go back to Thursday or Wednesday of last
week. There are a lot more flexibility with third-party products than
you get with the capabilities that are built into the Operating System.

Alan: Now, you mentioned two buzzwords - "incremental" and
"differential". What are they when would I use one over the other?

Stephen: Let's say you've made a full backup on Sunday night. Then,
Monday night you make an incremental backup. You're saving all the
changes that have been made since your last full backup. On Tuesday, you
make another incremental backup. Now, you're saving the changes since
your last incremental backup. So, you are saving one day's change,
again. On Wednesday if you do another incremental, you are saving one
day's change.

A differential backup will save all of the changes since your last full
backup. So, you might an in incremental on Monday and Tuesday and
Wednesday. Thursday, you do a differential backup and basically, what
you are doing is that you're taking all of those incrementals and
putting them into one new image backup. So, you're only managing at this
point, two files instead of three or four.

It's really a very file management of backing up your hard disk. It's a
management technique that's actually used in enterprises, quite often -
where they combine incremental and differential images to save various
points in time.

Alan: I've seen so many horror stories with clients that do incremental
backups only. And they will do a full backup on a tape and then they
will do incremental backups and then they will do an incremental for
this day and this day, and this day and they may have forty different
incremental backups. Well, when you get ready to restore, not only do
you have to have the original full backup, you have to have every
incremental from there on. If you lose one tape or one gets damaged,
what happens?

Stephen: If you lose one component of that set (one incremental backup),
essentially, you have lost the entire backup. And that's very, very
frustrating. That's why many companies will use a combination of
incremental and differential backups.

In the case of the home user, if you do full backup a week, maybe a
couple of incremental backups during the week, chances are you are not
changing that much information and you're probably going to be okay. If
you're in a corporate setting there's just no reason not to do
differential backups to reduce the number of files that your have to
manage.

Alan: Let's get serious for a minute. I know in a corporation you have
guidelines and if you don't follow the guidelines, you can get fired.
But in a home environment, the odds of somebody backing up every single
week is just not going to happen. I know people that haven't backed up
in a year.

Stephen: If you have to manually back up everything, you're absolutely
right. People don't like to go and do repetitive tasks. The best way of
handling this is just to schedule the task so it happens automatically.
With Acronis True Image there's an icon on the main screen, called
Schedule a Task. And you can click there and you can tell your machine
every Sunday night at 11:00 at night I want to create a full image. And
then on say, Tuesday and Thursday I want incremental images. And
automatically, your system will do that backup.

Let's say you have a home where you have more than one computer, tied to
a network. It's extremely common these days, where students will each
have their own PC and maybe the parents will share a PC. Or you can be
crazy like me and just have multiple PC's in your house, just because
you want them. We also offer a product called Acronis True Image
Workstation. With the Workstation product, you could put a very small
program on each of the PC's, called an Agent and from one system, you
can manage the backups of all the PC's on your network - and tell each
PC at a given time to do its backup image and you don't even have to go
out and touch those PC's to do it.

Alan: From the home environment, I can set up an automatic schedule that
says, "I'm going to back up everything that's on my hard drive to either
a network or to a disk." In the past, I would have to bounce into DOS,
which basically means that defeats the purpose of the automatic backup,
because now I'm not in Windows, anymore.

Stephen: Well, that's the great thing about Acronis True Image. Because
we live in Windows all of the imaging is done as a background task. You
can continue to work in Windows, while Acronis True Image is making its
backup image. There's no interruption to the workflow. You don't even
know it's happening. Even if it's happening on a scheduled basis - maybe
you're up late on a Sunday night and you're working and 11:00 comes and
your machine says, "It's time to do a backup". No problem. You won't
even know it's happening. It doesn't even slow down the machine.

Alan: What about open files? You have the registry; you have system
files that are locked because the operating system locks them for
security reasons. How do you back those up?

Stephen: The way Acronis True Image works: When the time comes to start
a backup, we empty all of the data that might be in the cache on your
machine, (cache being data stored in ram or on your hard disk in a
cache). We stop the machine for a brief moment in time and we take a
snap shot of every sector on the disk, (every "1" and every "0"). When
we freeze the machine even the open files are frozen for a moment and we
collect the one 1's and 0's that are on the hard disk. We re-start the
machine; you continue to work. It happens so fast that as I say, you
don't even know that it's happening. But, the software is able to record
all the 1's and 0's. That's what we write to our disk image.

So, you don't have to worry. Even if you have data on your machine that
maybe you have in an "encrypted" file. Maybe this is your work machine
and this is corporate date and the data is encrypted. The data again, is
still stored as 1's and 0's. When that image is created, all those open
files are saved in what's called, "their state", so if they every have
to be restored, the machine comes right back to the moment that that
image made and all of your encrypted files remain - encrypted.

Alan: So, there's no reason whatsoever, as a home user that I have to
not back up my computer systems' multiple hard drives if I need to. You
can handle all that for me, behind the scenes, automatically?

Stephen: We can handle it all, we can handle it automatically. And most
importantly, it's every economical. Remember - your data, your pictures,
your music, your videos are going to far outlast the life of your
hardware. You're going to have to make changes to your hardware before
you make changes to your data. And we can save these images of your
machine. These images are transportable to new hardware, even if your
hardware dies.

Alan: If we want to find more information about the Acronis True Image
10 Home, where would we go?

Stephen: You can come to www.acronis.com

Alan: Steve, as always, it's been our pleasure to have you as our guest
here on Let's Talk Computers, talking about how we can back up so that
we don't lose our data. And we look forward to having you on the air
again, next time.

Stephen: It's always a pleasure to come in and visit with you and your
listeners. Thanks, so much.

HOW TO Change Windows XP Home to Windows XP Pro

We can't vouch for this hack, because we are too lazy to try it (and we
never, ever violate copyrights or EULAs)icon_smile.gif, but the process
for turning an Windows XP Home install disc to a Windows XP Pro disc
after the jump.

It sounds pretty simple to do (just some registry changes), but you
can't install Service Pack 2, so you might try to slipstream in the
changes to your modified install disc (if that's even possible).

Alternately, buy XP Pro, or get a Mac.

Yes indeed, you can't change an installed Windows but only your
Installation CD (or even a recovery CD in case the manufacturer had not
left out important parts)

Here's the detailed breakdown you asked for.

1. Copy the root directory and the i386 directory of the WindowsXP CD
to your harddisk
2. Extract the Bootsector of your WindowsXP CD
3. Change 2 Bytes in i386\Setupreg.hiv :
a) Open Regedit
b) Highlight HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
c) Menu: File -> Load Structure -> i386\Setupreg.hiv
d) Assign an arbitrary name to the imported structure e.g. "Homekey"
e) Goto HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Homekey\ControlSet001\Services\setupdd
f) edit the binary key "default" and change "01" to "00" and "02" to
"00"
g) Highlight "Homekey" and select menu: File -> unload structure
4. Burn your new XP Pro CD
5. Install WindowsXP as usual. Your XP Home Key will work.

Note: You cannot apply SP2 to such a WindowsXP Pro, so step 1.b)
might be to integrate SP2 in your Installation CD..

Please check the menu-entries as I don't owe an English copy of
XP and have to guess them.

Virus YM Nugel

Ini dia yg terbaru.
Virus YM berbahasa thailand.
Padahal sebelumnya, gue pikir, itu virus dari vietnam. Ternyata salah.
Thailand tho yg py gawe.

Enjoy the virus guyss..
Kl elo emang suka iseng, pasti deh penasaran en klik link virus ini.
Jadi inget kata orang : curiosity kills the cat. Karena kucing py nyawa
sembilan, en die gak bakal mati2.. Cm rasa penasaran si kucing lah yg bs
bikin dia mati :)

Sama kaya elo, kl elo suka penasaran, jgn heran kl PC loe banyak
virusnya.. Hahahah...

Ini linknya. Ada anti virusnya jg lho..
Baek jg nih orang malaysia...

Dia Tidak Bisa Berbahasa Thailand

Kamu hobi chatting atau terbiasa menggunakan Yahoo Messenger
alias YM? Pernah nggak punya pengalaman suatu ketika kamu mendapat
kiriman pesan dalam YM yang isinya seperti ini nih, "Tra lai em niem vui
khi duoc gan ben em, tra lai em loi yeu thuong em dem, tra lai em niem
tin thang nam qua ta dap xay. Gio day chi la nhung ky niem buon...
http://blahblah.0catch.com."

Pusing bacanya? Pasti! Kalau itu pesan dari teman atau orang
yang kamu kenal, pasti seketika kamu berpikir temanmu ini kok sekarang
jadi pintar sekali ya bisa bahasa Thailand? Udah gitu ditambah adanya
sebuah situs website yang tertera dalam pesan. Kamu pun jadi makin
kepikiran betapa hebatnya temanmu itu. Udah bisa bahasa Thailand, punya
website lagi!

Dan karena penasaran, kamu pun jadi mencoba untuk ngeklik
website tersebut. Apa yang terjadi kemudian? Ampun deh, tanpa kamu duga,
Yahoo Messenger alias YM kamu pun jadi nggak terkontrol untuk
mengirimkan pesan-pesan berbahasa Thailand ke teman-temanmu yang lain.

Jadinya gantian deh teman-teman kamu yang kebingungan. Kok
kita jadi bisa bahasa Thailand ya? Pas banyak orang bertanya maksud dari
kiriman pesan YM-mu, kamu malah jadi tambah kebingungan. Orang merasa
nggak mengirim pesan apapun kok. Apalagi pakai bahasa Thailand? Bisa
belajar darimana coba?

Bahasa Thailand ini nggak hanya sekedar terkirim begitu saja
ke orang lain. Tapi, pesan ini juga akan terus dan terus terkirim tanpa
kamu bisa kontrol. Status YM-mu pun juga jadi berbahasa Thailand lho
yang terbaca oleh orang lain!

Kenapa bisa begitu? Yup, itu tandanya YM-mu udah mulai kena
Win32/Nuqel.E. dalam situs
http://ca.com/us/securityadvisor/virusinfo/virus.aspx?id=65739, nama
lain dari pengacau ini lumayan banyak. Mulai dari WORM_IMAUT.E (Trend),
W32.Imaut.N (Symantec), Worm:Win32/Sohanad.F (MS OneCare), Troj/Tiotua-D
(Sophos), sampai W32/YahLover.worm (McAfee).

Susahnya, ketika YM kamu sudah terinfeksi ini, pas kamu online, langsung
deh pesan-pesan antah berantah itu langsung terkirim begitu saja. Pusing
kan? Orang yang sedang chat sama kamu pun jadi keganggu deh! (ika)

delivery service left us mostly blue. The interface is cluttered and
ugly--lacking both the simplicity and sophistication of the Apple iTunes
Store or NetFlix's Watch Instantly. The selection is weird, and
searching is cumbersome. For example, you can rent ($3.99) or buy
($14.99) a digital copy of Ocean's 13, but a search for "Ocean's 11"
turns up an ancient concert video from the old prog-rock group Yes. You
can send Unbox movies to your TiVo, but you have to wait for them to
fully download before you can watch them--or 2 to 4 hours for a
standard-length movie over a cable modem connection. Not exactly what
we'd call 'on demand'.

When Unbox debuted in late 2006, we were willing to cut it some slack.
After all, we're talking about Amazon, the guys who put the e in
e-commerce. We thought by now they'd have figured out how on-demand
video is supposed to work. We were wrong.

#14. Screwed up to the Max: Municipal WiMax
Baru di developed di Aceh.
Tp kl dilihat dari kemampuannya, bakal sukses digelar di Indonesia,
karena jangkauannya yg luas, dan infrastruktur kabel di indonesia yg
sangat jelek. Salahkan T****m karena mahalnya dan KKN nya.

It sounded like a great idea: big cities would offer wide-area wireless
Internet access as part of their infrastructure, the same as roads,
traffic lights, and sewers. A cheap, fast Net connection anywhere within
city limits, 24/7. What's not to love?Then public and private WiMax
ventures started dropping like flies. Sprint and Clearwire called off
their plans to build a nationwide WiMax network, after Sprint CEO Gary
"bet the company on WiMax" Forsee got canned last October. Earlier this
year EarthLink bailed on its offer to foot the bill for a Wi-Fi network
in San Francisco. Similar city-funded projects have bought the farm in
Chicago; Milwaukee; and Anchorage, Alaska. Even Silicon Valley--arguably
the most Net-centric community this side of Mars--has had a hard time
getting its WiMax plans off the ground. The big reason? Cost. Unwiring
the whole valley would cost an estimated $200 million, or $133K a square
mile. SV geeks can always park their cars near the Googleplex in
Mountain View, whose wireless network covers 12 square miles. As for the
rest of us, well, we can hope and pray that the search titans win the
FCC auction for the 700-MHz wireless spectrum next January, and then
decide to open their network to the worl d. Does Google have to do
everything?

#13. Web 2 Woe: Social Networks

Di Indonesia yg laku cm friendster. Dan hanya friendster yg akan
bertahan. Yg laen, numpang lewat doank.

Memo to Badoo, Bebo, Catster, Dogster, Facebook, Faceparty, Flickr,
Flixster, Hi5, Hyves, Imbee, Imeem, MySpace, Mixi, Pizco, Pownce,
Takkle, Twitter, Virb, Vox, Xanga, Xing, Zoomr ... and the 3,245,687
other social networks clamoring for our limited attention spans: We got
it. Making connections between friends is cool. Sharing photos and
videos, even cooler. But it's all so... 2006. Haven't you got anything
new to show us?Here's a safe bet: Two years from now, 90 percent of
these networks will be gone and their founders will be back working at
Starbucks. I'll have a double mocha frappucino, please.

#12. Just Another Oxymoron: Internet Security
Di Indonesia, yg di khawatirkan cm virus buatan lokal. Bull shit ama
virus luar. Gak ada yg takut. Virus lokal yg bikin keder, karena
antivirus yg beredar buatan luar semua.. Jadi gak ada yg bs ngilangin
virus lokal.

In 2007, the words "Internet security" joined the ever-growing list of
self-canceling phrases, alongside "business intelligence,"
"Congressional ethics," and "Microsoft Works." This year, bot herders
proved they could harness enough zombie PCs to take down an entire
country's infrastructure for a month. Estonia eventually recovered, but
our notion of Net invulnerability hasn't.

According to McAfee's Virtual Criminology Report, some 120 governments
are actively engaged in Web espionage and cyber assaults. Meanwhile,
private criminals used the Storm worm to created a botnet for hire
containing millions of zombies--enough to take down a major network. And
while the FBI's Operation Bot Roast nailed a handful of domestic bot
herders, that leaves several thousand more to go, most of them living
beyond the Feds' reach. Three-quarters of cyber attacks in 2007
originated outside the U.S., according to Symantec's most recent
Internet Security Threat Report.

As with global warming, there's plenty of blame to go around--for
everybody from developers of insecure software to home users who
blithely log on without inoculating their PCs. Let's hope they get more
of a clue in 2008.

#11. Singing an Old Familiar Zune: Microsoft Zune Microsoft's Zune
Microsoft ??? Pasti mahal. Dijamin gak laku dan gak dilirik. Ngedenger
nya aja pasti sinonim dgn mahal & berbayar premium. No way... MP4
Player, buatan cina yg 300-400 rebu per 2 GB, yg masih laku. Tahun 2008,
dipastikan yg ukuran 4 GB yg dari cina/taiwan yg jd primadona di pasar
MP4 Player.

Microsoft got a chance to do things right with its "iPod Killer" in
2007. And Zune 2.0 was certainly an improvement--offering 80GB of
storage instead of 30GB, wireless syncing, improved touch controls, and
a choice of Nano-like 8GB players in a variety of bright colors
(Pepto-Bismol pink, anyone?). But Microsoft failed to lose the Zune's
proprietary DRM scheme or remove all its restrictions on wireless music
sharing (you can share songs with other nearby Zune users, but they can
only listen to them three times before the songs go poof).

We're not the only ones disappointed in the Zune. According to the NPD
Group, Microsoft still lags behind Sandisk and Creative Labs in market
share for portable media players. And for every Zune Microsoft sells,
Apple sells 30 iPods. Remember: You can't kill an iPod if you can't get
close to it.

#10. Is Anyone Listening?: Wireless Carriers
Wireless... Gak laku di Indonesia. Lewat 3G/HSDPA, mahal banget. Lewat
wifi, cm ada di mall en bayar. Dial up lelet. Semua nya sucks... Tahun
2008, wireless masih hopeless...

Today's cell phone hardware is wildly innovative--and we don't mean just
the Apple iPhone. Other companies--LG, Samsung, HTC, and Nokia--have all
come out with handsets that are really more like hip pocket computers.

But innovative wireless service providers? Few and far between. Voice
call quality still sucks, high-speed data networks are still scarce, and
the companies still want too big a chunk of our wallets ($2.50 for a
20-second ring tone--exsqueeze me?). Worse, the inability to easily
switch U.S. carriers but keep your phone is grating.

#9. Sorry, We Already Gave: Office 2007
Microsoft's Office Pro 2007
No comment. Masih sangat tidak di rekomendasikan. Sangat setuju deh,
buat apa migrasi ke office 2007.

Many of us spent a decade learning how to use Microsoft Office. So now
that we finally have it all down, Microsoft changes almost everything
about the interface in 2007, and not for the better. Instead of
simple-if-prosaic toolbars, Office 2007 serves up a jumble of confusing
icons known as the 'Ribbon.'

Longtime PC World contributor Robert Luhn, now editor in chief of
DrBicuspid.com, says the new version was a stumble backwards. "Scrambled
interface, incompatibility with old macros, but hey, I do get in-context
spell checking," he says. "Is that worth the $239 upgrade? Me thinks
not."

Overall, we liked the added support for XML and online collaboration
tools when we reviewed Office 2007 late last year. But Ribbon schmibbon.
We'll take the classic menus, please--even if we have to spend $30 for
an add-in program to get them back.

#8. Needs To Change Its Spots: Apple "Leopard" OS 10.5
Apple, gak laku di Indonesia. Coret dari daftar. Iphone yg paling saya
suka tahun ini. Semua handphone lain terlihat kaya barang usang....

Maybe we just got spoiled by the iPod and iPhone, but the glow came off
Steve Job's halo after this feline fleabag debuted. Within days of its
release last October, Mac users reported dozens of problems with the new
OS, some more serious than others.

Among the many: Wireless connections that slowly petered away,
administrative logins that mysteriously disappeared, and a disturbing
tendency to nuke data when moving it between two drives if the
connection is interrupted.

Worse, a security bug that was fixed in OS 10.4 in March 2006 resurfaced
in Leopard, according to Symantec. The Apple Mail vulnerability allows
malicious attachments to execute code. German security researchers
discovered that Leopard came with its firewall turned off, leaving users
vulnerable to attack. Adding insult to injury, some upgraders even
reported a Windows-like Blue Screen of Death when upgrading from
previous Mac OSs.

In mid-November, Apple released an update to Leopard that fixed some of
the bugs, including the firewall glitch. Repairing Apple's reputation,
however, may take slightly longer.

#7. Cannot be Completed as Dialed: Voice Over IP
Disini gak berkembang. Wong orang indonesia males bgt...

Here's a recipe for disaster: Have the market leader in your industry
sued by three of the biggest telecom companies on the planet. Have
second-tier players go belly up overnight, leaving thousands of business
customers without any phone service. Add in a healthy dose of security
vulnerabilities, and bake at 450 degrees until crispy.

Any way you slice it, 2007 was a crappy year for VoIP. Vonage spent most
of the year fighting off patent infringement suits from Verizon, Sprint
Nextel, and AT&T. (It has tentatively settled with all three, but not
before agreeing to fork out payments of $39 million to $120 million
apiece.) SunRocket simply disappeared last summer, leaving thousands of
customers in the lurch.

#6. Un-Neutral: The Broadband Industry
Broadband...
Mudah2an skrg tambah murah. Secara gue pake speedy skrg..

Remember those halycon days when you paid $40 to $60 a month for
"unlimited" broadband service and it actually was unlimited? Kiss those
days goodbye. In 2007 we learned that some of the largest ISPs in the
country--Comcast, Cox, Qwest, Cablevision, and Charter among
them--throttle or otherwise interfere with BitTorrent traffic on the
sly. Comcast denied it at first, then admitted to "traffic shaping" to
discourage bandwidth-sucking peer-to-peer users. Now it's being sued by
angry customers. Suddenly the whole Net Neutrality argument doesn't seem
like such a bad idea.

Meanwhile, all the major telecom providers who blithely handed their
bitstreams over to the NSA without a subpoena are now demanding
retroactive immunity for the deed. Whose bits are they, anyway?

#5. The Great, The Bad, The Ugly: Apple iPhone
Iphone,is da best. Thank god, iphone telah jatuh ke bumi..
Semua HP yg laen terlihat usang... Sialnya, itu jg termasuk hp gue :(

Yes, we know. Sliced bread only wishes it were as great as the iPhone.
And aside from minor flaws like a tiny touch keyboard and lack of Flash
support, the phone itself is pretty terrific. But AT&T's broadband
service? Definitely second-rate. And if you want to switch to a more
reliable or faster carrier, you have to take your chances with the
hackers.

The $600 price tag--which soon dropped by $200 and then was followed by
a $100 quasi-rebate--didn't help. "I think the biggest debacle of 2007
is the iPhone pricing bait and switch," says Peggy Watt, a PC World
contributing editor and professor of journalism at Western Washington
University. "People do expect tech prices to drop, but not as quickly as
the iPhone did. Apple's response was pretty lame, too; a partial credit
that couldn't be used for a lot of popular items (such as iTunes)."

Worse, those who did try to open their iPhones to other carriers or
third-party applications found themselves owners of $600 iBricks when
Apple tweaked the firmware to lock them out.

Memo to Apple: It's time to treat iPhones for what they really
are--pocket computers with phone functions built in--and open them up
the world. Just a thought.

#4. In a Sorry State: Yahoo
Say goodbye buat yahoo, kecuali YM & emailnya yg gue pake. Untuk 2 hal
tsb, makasih berat. Yg lainnya... Maap2 aja deh..

We can't say we really expected much out of Yahoo in 2007. Giving CEO
Terry Semel the boot was probably a good thing--especially after his
$230 million compensation package came to light. Installing the original
Yahoo, Jerry Yang, as head honcho also seems like a smooth move, even if
the company seems permanently stuck in the number two position behind
Google.

Yet there's one area where Yahoo can lay claim to being number one:
creating political prisoners. At least three times over the past five
years, information supplied by Yahoo to the Bejiing government has led
to the incarceration of Chinese dissidents.

This year, Yahoo executives admitted they'd lied to Congress when they
claimed not to know why the Chinese demanded their subscriber data. Yang
and general counsel Michael Callahan were forced to deliver a humbling
public apology in front of a Congressional committee. Shortly
thereafter, the company settled a suit brought by two of the dissidents'
families.

Not so smooth.

#3. The Anti-Social Network: Facebook Beacon
Facebook... Gak laku di indonesia. Coret dari daftar...

We have to give props to Facebook for stealing the social networking
spotlight from MySpace this year. But once it got up on stage, Facebook
laid an egg. For example, opening up the Facebook platform to
third-party developers was inspired. Now, six months later, those
viral-to-the-point-of-influenza Facebook apps are mostly just
irritating. (For the 27th time: No, I do not want to spam everyone in my
network with another movie quiz, thank you. Now go away.)

The introduction of Facebook's Beacon advertising program was more than
disappointing--it was disturbing. Suddenly, anything you purchased on
Amazon, Overstock, Fandango or three dozen other sites would be
broadcast to your Facebook friends. Worse, even when you were logged
out, Facebook still gathered the information, though the company says it
didn't use the data.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg apologized and offered subscribers easier ways to
opt out of Beacon, but the damage was already done, says Richard
Laermer, principal at RLM PR in New York and author of Punk Marketing.

"The idea behind Beacon is fascinating, but the fact that it was being
done for subscribers by someone else was less than cool," he says. "It's
like me fishing in your trash can for your store receipts (you haven't
spotted me yet?) and then telling other people what you've bought. Not
illegal, but oh so creepy."

How much damage has Beacon done to Facebook's rep? "Their PR value just
went down about 40 percent," he adds.

#2. What Is It Good For: The High-Def Format War
HD war ? Masih belum laku di indonesia.
Satu syarat spy bs laku : HARUS BISA DIBAJAK AMA ORANG INDONESIA....

February 2007: Sony declares its Blu-ray the winner of the hi-def format
wars.

April 2007: Toshiba announces its HD DVD player is the first to sell
more than 100,000 units.

July 2007: Blockbuster Video says it will carry only Blu-ray discs in
more than 1400 of its retail outlets.

August 2007: Paramount and DreamWorks announce exclusive support for the
HD DVD format.

September 2007: God help us, a third HD format has emerged: HD VMD
(Versatile Multilayer Disc).

Enough already.

Did we learn nothing from VHS vs. Betamax, CD-R vs. CD-RW, DVD-A vs.
SACD, and so on down the line? At least the warring DVD camps worked
out a compromise in the mid-90s that allowed everyone to profit from the
new movie format (though it took them a while). Not so in HD land, where
a take-no-prisoners attitude on both sides has left consumers cold. It
will be a snowy day in Video Hell before we'll put our money down on
either format.

#1. No Wow, No How: Windows Vista
YUHUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
Gue setuju banget...
Say o to vista..
Lbh nyebelin..
Lbh bikin capek...
Lbh bikin bankrut
En bikin elo minum obat sakit kepala yg banyak...

Hidup windows XP...

Five years in the making and this is the best Microsoft could do?

It's not that Vista is awful. The integrated security and parental
controls are nice, and the Aero interface is as whizzy as it gets.
Searching and wireless networking are much faster and easier than under
XP.

It's just that Vista isn't all that good. Many of the innovations the
operating system was supposed to bring--like more efficient file and
communications systems--got tossed overboard as Microsoft struggled to
get the OS out the door, some three years after it was first promised.
Despite its hefty hardware requirements, Vista is slower than XP.

When it debuted last January, incompatibilities were rampant--in part
because hardware and software makers didn't feel any urgency to revamp
their products to work with the new OS. The user account controls that
were supposed to make users feel safer just made them feel irritated.
And at $399 ($299 upgrade) for Windows Ultimate, we couldn't help
feeling more than a little gouged.

No wonder so many users are clinging to XP like shipwrecked sailors to a
life raft, while others who made the upgrade are switching back. And
when the fastest Vista notebook PC World has ever tested is an Apple
MacBook Pro, there's something deeply wrong with the universe.

We have no doubt Vista will come to dominate the PC landscape, if only
because it will become increasingly hard to buy a new machine that
doesn't have it pre-installed. And that's disappointing in its own
right.

PC World contributing editor Dan Tynan used to be disappointed, now he
tries to be bemused.

Thanks buat Dan atas tulisannya..
Sorry, di copy paste tanpa permisi..
