  • Microsoft Raided By Japan's Fair Trade Commission - Microsoft Corp., the world's largest software maker, had its Tokyo office raided by Japan's Fair Trade Commission as part of a probe into how it supplies Windows XP software for computers sold in Japan. The investigation involves whether Microsoft's licensing of Windows XP software violated the country's anti-monopoly law, said a commission official, who declined to be named. Microsoft Japan spokesman Kazushi Okabe confirmed commission officials were at the office, adding that he didn't know why they were there. (thanks Peter)
  • Microsoft considering update dubbed "XP Reloaded" - Microsoft is considering updating Windows XP before it releases Longhorn, a major overhaul of the industry's dominant operating system that is not expected for about two years. Issuing an update to XP would represent a significant shift for the software maker, which for months has insisted that it had no plans to create a separate version of Windows before Longhorn. A company executive confirmed to CNET News.com on Thursday that Microsoft is now discussing a product internally referred to as "Windows XP Reloaded."  Microsoft has not said when that OS will ship, but analysts have said they expect it in late 2005 or 2006. Another article on "XP Reloaded" can be found here.
  • Windows XP Service Pack 2 to Activate NX bit on AMD chips - Microsoft and AMD announced that the Service Pack 2 update for Windows XP will enable AMD's Enhanced Virus Protection technology available in AMD64 microprocessors. AMD's enhanced virus protection security technology in combination with Microsoft's Data Execution Prevention in the upcoming Windows XP SP2 is designed to help render some viruses, specifically buffer overrun exploits, inoperable and prevent them from replicating and spreading to other systems. The core of AMD's Enhanced Virus Protection is the so-called NX bit in the page-translation tables that specifies whether instructions can be executed from the page. The capability is also available on Intel's Itanium and Itanium 2 microprocessors, but is not present in IA32e chips, such as Intel Pentium 4 E also known as Prescott, unlike suggested by certain sources last year.
  • Next-Gen DVDs: Coming Soon? - The group of companies behind the DVD format has approved a next-generation rewritable optical disc that is the same size as existing DVDs but can hold more than four times the amount of data. The rewritable HD-DVD (High Definition and High Density-DVD) format was approved as the DVD Forum kicked off its general meeting in Tokyo this week, according to an official at one of the group's founding members. It specifies a 4.7-inch optical disc that can store up to 20GB of data on a single-sided disc compared to 4.7GB on existing DVDs.
  • Nvidia NV40 specifications confirmed - US sources close to Nvidia have confirmed that their next generation GPU will feature a full sixteen pipelines – not as previously speculated an 8x2 arrangement - and this is reflected in the increased transistor count of circa 205-210 million, up from a previously speculated 175 million.
  • 3D Traceroute 1.8.74:203 - Replace all your ugly ping plotters and traceroute programs with a full blown three dimensional traceroute program (download)
  • Creative patches and updates -  Creative has released a new set of patches and updates, for the PlayCenters, Nomad Jukebox and Nomad CMS plugin.
  • Alcohol 120% Device Support Patch Released v2.3.5.225 - Alcohol 120% Device Support Patch (download) has been released. Here is the change log.

The Japanese Officials only raided us because they wanted more free copies of Windows XP. Losers. "XP Reloaded" is going to rock, because it will contain MILLIONS OF .NET AGENTS!!! ROFL... ROFL... and Morpheus will be built in... =)

You always seem to make post #1, and with every post it appears that your IQ drops another 12 points. Better slow down before you run out of brain (if said event has not already occured)

Comments from Bill Gatesposted - 03:44 PM CET - Feb,27 2004
Dude, you're the one using low-IQ language and forgetting to check your grammar. For your information, I don't always make first post; check your facts -- go back and check previous articles before you make statements like that. If you're cut because somebody beats you to the first post - get over it. Geez, you're the one acting immature here. Do yourself a favour: let this slide and don't reply this.

does it really matter what the retard says Bill Gates? the guy is likely 10-12 years old probably failed english 3 times already. his first comment was a pure indication of his intelligence level, oooh we are 'pissing him off', what ya gonna do moron? hit us? wanna fight us? lay off the drugs and go back to school and pay attention for a change. the only reason MS is doing any of this is because there are too many stupid people out there that shouldn't have a pc, and who the hell uses morpheus??... christ..get out of the stoneage

Hey xxxx, i wouldn't join sides with dude coz u only sound like a knob too. :( Ur better than that. I think ur wrong - Bill Gates doesn't sound like a 12yr old... read his long post here: http://www.ggmania.com/comments.php3?show=15374 That's a clever post IMHO

Comments from dudeposted - 02:34 AM CET - Feb,28 2004
Bill Gates...you are the n00b. Your grammar and sentence structure is so complete and identical that it would take someone of your intelligence not to know that it is the same person.

Windows XP Reloaded = fuck that, I bet it's going to be doing the same BS as windows ME was, Remember paying for a windows me upgrade / only to find out a few months later windows xp was out, I hope they aren’t doing that bullshit again. what I do now is wate untill a new os has been out for about-a year and-a 1/2, and then think about upgragding, becides new os's are alway's broken, take win xp for example it's going on SP2 allready , if you ask me I think thay should give you Windows XP Reloaded for free and call it Win XP SP3 becuse that's probully what it would be like anyway ....
