In Brief: Microsoft takes Windows XP
Starter Edition to Brazil 04/12/2005 10:53 AM
Microsoft on Wednesday plans to announce it will offer a simplified and lower-priced version of Windows XP in Brazil. Microsoft already said it will offer the product in Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Russia, and India. The software is not sold in boxed versions, but installed on cheap PCs designed for first time PC users. Windows XP Starter Edition is part of Microsoft's efforts to take on the growing threat of Linux and piracy, which is common in developing markets. The limited, cheaper version offers localized support and customization options, preconfigured settings, and simplified task management. The starter OS lacks support for advanced features such as home networking, sharing printers across a network, or the ability to establish multiple user accounts on a single PC. It also limits the number of applications that can run at a time to three. Analysts at Gartner have dismissed it, saying it fails to meet the most basic needs of users. Brazil is one of the countries where open source has been getting traction, with the government promoting Linux products. Microsoft did not say when the Brazilian version of Windows XP Starter Edition will be available.

Was Microsoft Word Used to Frame
President Bush?

Was Microsoft Word Used to Frame
President Bush? 09/10/2004 08:58 AM

Authenticity of new Bush military papers questioned: The question of whether the damaging military records on President Buish are accurate or not is coming down to a Word formatting question.

Independent document examiner Sandra Ramsey Lines said the memos looked like they had been produced on a computer using Microsoft Word software. Lines, a document expert and fellow of the American Academy of Forensic Sciences, pointed to a superscript — a smaller, raised "th" in "111th Fighter Interceptor Squadron" — as evidence indicating forgery.

Microsoft Word automatically inserts superscripts in the same style as the two on the memos obtained by CBS, she said.

"I'm virtually certain these were computer generated," Lines said after reviewing copies of the documents at her office in Paradise Valley, Ariz. She produced a nearly identical document using her computer's Microsoft Word software.

Finally there's some value for knowing the 95% of stuff in Word that no one ever uses or cares about. Who knew that knowing that could change the course of history?

I demand apologies from all the people who made fun of me for exploring all the buried submenus in Word! I have the power to bring the President down, people! Don't tempt me!
