Microsoft confirms final Windows 7 system requirements
When Microsoft released the official beta for Windows 7 a while back, it also published a set of system requirements. These were a general overview, and it seems that they have been updated to match the Windows 7 RC recently made available.
Here's the list of initial system requirements Microsoft made available:
1GHz processor (32- or 64-bit)
1GB of RAM
16 GB of available disk space
Support for DirectX 9 graphics with 128MB of memory (for the Aero interface)
And here, you will find the updated and final list of requirements:
1 GHz processor (32- or 64-bit)
1 GB of RAM (32-bit); 2 GB of RAM (64-bit)
16 GB of available disk space (32-bit); 20 GB of avaiable disk space (64-bit)
DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or higher driver
According to ZDNet, however, "If you are planning to run Windows XP Mode along with Windows 7, Microsoft is recommending a PC with a minimum of 2GB of memory and 15 GB of additional disk space." Microsoft stated, "In addition, Windows Virtual PC requires a PC with Intel-VT or AMD-V enabled in the CPU, as it takes advantage of the latest advancements in hardware virtualization."
SAN ANTONIO (AP)—Michael Finley hit a 3-pointer as time expired to force overtime, and Tim Duncan put on a dominating show from there, leading the San Antonio Spurs to a division-clinching 105-98 win over the New Orleans Hornets on Friday night.
Coupled with a Houston loss to Dallas, the Spurs clinched the No. 3 seed in the Western Conference and will play Dallas in the first round of the playoffs. The Hornets fell to the seventh seed after letting this one slip away.
New Orleans led by five with 47.6 seconds left in the fourth period, but missed free throws gave the Spurs a chance. Finley took advantage, draining a 3-pointer as the clock ran down to zero.
Duncan took over from there.
He scored six of his 20 points in overtime, when he also had six rebounds, two assists and swatted Chris Paul’s layup. It was the most commanding performance from Duncan since the All-Star break, when his knees began aching and his health became a constant worry.
David West scored 34 points for New Orleans, which blew its chance at the No. 6 seed. Duncan’s jewel in overtime came on a tough one-handed, baseline jumper—leaving West screaming in frustration.
Tony Parker led the Spurs with 29 points, and was serenaded with chants of “M-V-P!” as he sank free throws in the closing seconds to seal the unlikely win.

Paul had 26 points and 14 assists for the Hornets, who will play Denver in the first round. The Spurs will start off against the Mavericks at home, but it was close.
Never have the Spurs opened the playoffs on the road since winning the first of four NBA titles in 1999. The last time it happened, David Robinson was their leading scorer, they played in the Alamodome, and Duncan’s first postseason lasted just four games when they were ousted by Phoenix.
But thanks to Finley’s clutch 3-pointer and the Mavs, San Antonio will open the playoffs at home once again, and on a four-game winning streak.
The Hornets have stumbled down the stretch as badly as any playoff-bound team in the West and have now lost six of eight.
For the first time in months, the Hornets entered San Antonio at full-strength. Tyson Chandler returned for the first time since inflammation in his left ankle forced him out of the lineup on March 2. He had 10 points and three rebounds in 20 minutes.
West scored 15 points in the first quarter, hitting seven of New Orleans’ first 11 field goals. He cooled off in the second period, but New Orleans still went into halftime ahead 50-48 after closing the quarter on a 15-8 run.

AP - Apr 15, 11:04 pm EDT
West hit a jumper with 47.6 seconds left in the fourth period, set up by Paul’s 14th assist of the night. Paul juked past Parker before kicking it out to West, who calmly sank the 17-footer before tiptoeing past a deflated Spurs bench. It put New Orleans ahead 88-83.
But the Hornets missed two of four free throws in the final 20 seconds, keeping the Spurs in it. With 7.6 left, Roger Mason stormed toward the 3-point line before dishing at the last moment to Finley.
He calmly sank the 3-pointer, sending the crowd into a frenzy and the Hornets back to the bench in disbelief.
Notes:@ The Spurs sent guard Marcus Williams back to t-e Austin Toros, their NBA D-League team, before the game. Williams appeared in just two games after being called up last week. … Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said he wouldn’t mind the NBA modifying its rules about instant replay. San Antonio stole one in Sacramento this week on a winning 3-pointer by Michael Finley with 1.3 seconds left, but the ball clearly didn’t leave his hand in time. The play was not reviewable. “We’ve all been on both sides of calls that can change a game right at the end,” Popovich said.

Microsoft is gearing up to take on rival Apple in the smartphone market.
Microsoft and CEO Steve Ballmer will launch an online store for smartphone applications, a report says.
The Wall Street Journal reported Monday that Microsoft is getting ready to launch an online marketplace akin to Apple's App Store. Microsoft is also readying a more sophisticated version of its mobile operating system called Windows Mobile 6.5, the Journal reported.
Smartphones are sophisticated mobile phones that offer users access to the Web and e-mail, as well as, provide phone calling and all kinds of other messaging options. This category of device is the hottest thing going in the mobile market and is seen as the biggest growth engine for mobile devices over the next few years.
Microsoft, which only makes the operating software for these devices, holds third place in terms of worldwide market share, according to research firm IDC. Symbian, which powers Nokia's smartphones, is by far the leader, followed by Research In Motion with its BlackBerry devices.
Even though Apple seems to be the most talked about smartphone on the market these days, it's only in fifth place in terms of overall market share for 2008, IDC said.
But Apple is quickly gobbling up market share and has become a serious threat to Microsoft and every other company competing in the smartphone market. With the release of the iPhone 3G last summer, Apple has tripled its market share from 3 percent in 2007 to 9 percent in 2008, according to IDC.
Meanwhile, Microsoft only grew from 11 percent market share in 2007 to 12.3 percent in 2008.
Microsoft is facing several challenges as it tries to catch Apple's growth rate. For one, the company's business model is based primarily on licensing software to hardware vendors. While this business model worked fine just a couple of years ago, it's difficult to justify now given that device makers can get free software from Symbian, Google Android, and Linux.
The second problem that Microsoft faces is that the company has been almost exclusively focused on business customers. Over the past year, smartphone users have gravitated toward more consumer applications. In addition, to their work e-mail, they want multimedia functionality and social-networking applications on their phones.
"Microsoft is in a really tough spot," said Ryan Reith, an analyst with IDC. "It has to change its value proposition. And a big part of that is refreshing its user interface and making the device more consumer-friendly."
Reith believes this is why it's critical for Microsoft to develop an application marketplace that can compete with Apple's App Store. The App Store went live last summer and offers thousands of applications for the iPhone and iPod Touch music player. The store has been very successful with users downloading thousands of free and fee-based applications.
Microsoft already has a developer community creating applications for Windows Mobile devices. But the problem is that many of these applications have been geared toward business users. And there is not a single destination that makes it easy for users to discover and download different applications.
"Clearly smartphones are not just for business users anymore," Reith said. "Microsoft needs to work with the developer community to get more consumer applications out there."
Microsoft's executives have gotten the message that consumer functionality is hot. And Andy Lees, head of Microsoft's mobile business unit, told the Journal that the company is about to put more emphasis on multimedia and other consumer functions like music and photos.
Microsoft is expected to unveil its new offerings next week at the Mobile World Congress trade show in Barcelona, Spain. Chief Executive Steve Ballmer will be delivering a keynote speech there on February 16. I will be there next week covering the news from the show, as will my CNET Reviews colleagues Bonnie Cha and Kent German.
But even with these enhancements, Microsoft has a tough road ahead of it. Competition in the smartphone market is increasing. And several competitors, including Android and RIM, are launching their own version of an application store.
On the handset and operating system side, new devices are coming to market that could provide stiff competition for Windows Mobile devices. For example, smartphone pioneer Palm is coming out with new mobile software and a device called Pre later this year. And even though critics have been writing the company's obituary for the last year, the new device, which was unveiled last month at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, has been getting a lot of buzz.
But Microsoft thinks it has the right enhancements lined up to take on these competitors, especially Apple.
The Journal also reported that Microsoft is talking about a new synchronized data storage service called My Phone. This new service is supposed to make it easier for people to back up their mobile contacts, calendar appointments, photos and text messages, to a Web site. The service is similar to a service that Apple calls MobileMe. The biggest difference will be that Microsoft will offer My Phone for free whereas Apple charges $99 a year for MobileMe.
It's too soon to know how Microsoft's new software and application store will stack up against Apple's offering. But one thing is certain, Apple isn't sitting still either. And if Microsoft or any other competitors want to hasten Apple's rise in this market, they'll have to leap-frog Apple with something truly revolutionary.

National Cyber Alert System-Very Important News about ''Conficker''
If you’ve never heard the words “Conficker” or “Downadup,” wait a few hours.
They’re rapidly becoming household words for personal computer owners.
Various major newspapers and television news shows reported Friday morning that the latest computer worm might now infect as many as 10 million computers worldwide.
According to a report in the Detroit Free Press, the worm is so virulent because it seems to “mutate” and launch “brute force attacks” that relentlessly try thousands of letter and number combinations in codes to steal personal passwords and login information.
Because most computer users choose passwords that they can remember easily, the words might also be something the worm can guess easily. Once in control of a computer the worm can launch spam, phishing attacks, shut down the Internet with massive traffic or access bank records.
According to F-Secure, an antivirus software company, the Conficker worm is spreading at a rate of 1 million new machines a day. It can be spread by USB stick also.
F-Secure has updated its Downadup removal tool, and the United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team has issued Alert TA09-020A, which describes how to disable AutoRun on Microsoft Windows systems in order to help prevent the spread of Conficker/Downadup via USB drives.
According to Symantec, the top infected countries in order of infection are: China, 28.7 percent; Argentina, 11.3 percent; Taiwan, 6.7 percent; Brazil, 6.2 percent; India, 5.8 percent; Chile, 5.2 percent; Russia, 5 percent; Malaysia, 2.8 percent; Columbia, 2.1 percent; and Mexico, 1.9 percent.
Philip Templeton of PT Technologies in Athens said everyone should keep his or her virus protection and software updates current.
“I have seen in the last four to six months more people getting viruses,” said Templeton. “But no matter what antivirus software you buy, nothing is 100 percent. Make sure your Windows Firewall is on, and it doesn’t hurt to change passwords periodically. I usually advise to make this a quarterly chore.”
