Microsoft also admitted that it tends to ignore glitches that occur when users upgrade from one pre-release build to another. The firm also reiterated yesterday it had no plans to offer an upgrade from its eight-year-old OS Windows XP to Windows 7. There are simply too many changes in how PCs have been configured We know that for a set of customers this trade-off seems less than perfect, but we think the upfront time is well worth it.
Microsoft confirmed earlier this year that it will offer Vista-shy customers the opportunity to purchase an upgrade edition of Windows 7. Additionally the firm told The Register yesterday that it also plans to build in a downgrade option from Windows 7 Pro and Ultimate to XP, which will be available for six months after the new OS lands.
In related news, another pre-release build has leaked onto the interwebs. Neowin has the full skinny here. In conjunction with a White House meeting on Thursday at which technology companies discussed the security of open source software, Google proposed three initiatives to strengthen national cybersecurity.
The meeting was arranged last month by US national security adviser Jake Sullivan, amid the scramble to fix the Log4j vulnerabilities that occupied far too many people over the holidays.
Sullivan asked invited firms — a group that included Amazon, Apple, Google, IBM, Microsoft, and Oracle — to share ideas on how the security of open source projects might be improved. Google chief legal officer Kent Walker in a blog post said that just as the government and industry have worked to shore up shoddy legacy systems and software, the Log4j repair process — still ongoing — has demonstrated that open source software needs the same attention as critical infrastructure.
Apple's having a problem retaining top chip personnel, with the latest defection being CPU architect Mike Filippo going to Microsoft. As chief compute architect at Microsoft, Filippo will design server chips for the software giant, according to media reports. The US Federal Communications Commission is considering imposing stricter rules requiring telecommunications carriers to report data breaches to customers and law enforcement more quickly. At the moment, companies have to wait seven business days before they can disclose a data breach to their customers.
Under the new plan, the waiting period will be scrapped altogether so people can be notified sooner. Two serious security vulnerabilities were recently found in AWS services, but because they were responsibly reported and the cloud biz responded quickly, no harm appears to have been done.
On Thursday, Orca Security published details about Superglue and BreakingFormation , vulnerabilities in AWS Glue and AWS Cloud Formation that allowed attackers to access data for other customers and to access files and make server-side requests to internal web services infrastructure. AWS Glue is a serverless data integration service for preparing data for subsequent processing.
But thanks to an internal misconfiguration, Orca Security researchers were able to obtain more information than should have been allowed. Although the companies faced the highest attrition rates in three years and were forced to raise hiring targets, increasing use of technology during the pandemic has given a wide range of verticals a reason to shift from data centres to the cloud.
In turn, the pandemic's subsequent digitisation race has presented the IT consulting companies with a thriving market. Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company TSMC will hike capital spending by a nearly third in to build out production capacity in the expectation that demand for chips keeps flooding in. The top line was driven by demand for semiconductors manufactured with TSMC's 5nm process technology. The OP in this thread has Window 7 as the original operating system and they now want to install Vista, which they do not have.
We no longer offer Windows Vista, but you can try contacting retailers if they still have a copy of it. Hi, I have a computer running Windows 7, and that is the original operating system. This thread is locked. You can follow the question or vote as helpful, but you cannot reply to this thread.
