Windows 7 To Be Called ... Windows 7

An anonymous reader writes "Microsoft's Mike Nash came forward today in a blog post on the Windows Vista Blog and revealed the official name for Windows Code Name '7' as simply 'Windows 7.' The reasoning, by Mr. Nash, is that Windows 7 is 'the seventh release of Windows.' As much wonderful sense as this makes on first glance, it seems as if Microsoft's marketing teams pulled this number out of thin air: the Windows 7 kernel is version 6.1, and there's no way Windows 7 adds up as the seventh release of Windows anyway."

Windows 7 Trades Email and Photo Apps For Downloadable Ones

arcticstoat writes "Microsoft has said that it plans to remove a lot of the standard apps from Windows 7 in order to make the new OS 'cleaner.' Among the apps for the chop are Windows Mail, Windows Photo Gallery and Windows Movie Maker, which will no longer be included with the operating system as standard. Instead, equivalent versions of the apps will be available from Microsoft's Windows Live download service as optional free downloads, much like the new BETA versions of the apps that Windows Live offers today."

Windows Experience Blog How Libraries & HomeGroup Work Together in Windows 7

Brandon LeBlanc: I’ve gotten the chance to play around with the Windows 7 pre-beta build and I feel like a kid in a candy store. There are many new features that I personally am excited about that I hope to blog about over time. To kick things off I wanted to discuss the several new features in Windows 7 that make managing and sharing your files on your home network a much easier experience than ever before. Using Windows 7’s Libraries along with its HomeGroup network sharing feature, I was able to share content with other PC users on my home network. I’m going to go into detail on my experience with Libraries and setting up a HomeGroup on my network with Windows 7 to illustrate these new features for you. And believe it or not… it all starts with the relatively minor changes made to the naming of folders within User Profiles in Windows 7

Hackers Can Use ActiveSync to Exploit Windows XP Machines

Windows Mobile can be used as a hacking utility on computers with Windows XP installed. If a hacker plugs Windows Mobile into a machine with ActiveSync, the hacker will have TCP/IP access. According to Windows For Devices, "The problem is that in order for the ActiveSync operation to perform authentication of the session, the RNDIS connection must first establish an IP connection," he writes. "Once the IP addresses are assigned and TCP/IP data can flow, the syncing process starts. In other words, a Windows Mobile device connected to a system with ActiveSync 4.x running will have direct TCP/IP access through an uncontrolled and unprotected network interface."

Restoring Windows Firewall on WHS

the Windows Firewall on my Windows Home Server, so I did what I though would help me solve my issues. If you open the options for the Windows Firewall on your Windows Home Server, there is an advanced tab with an option to "Restore Defaults." I figured this would restore the Firewall to the state it ships with Windows Home Server. Unfortunately, this isn't the case; it restores the Firewall to a BLANK state, losing all the necessary exceptions for WHS to function properly.
