Thunderbird Adoption Lagging

Thunderbird Adoption Lagging 04/08/2005 12:50 PM

Thunderbird Finds It Hard To Mimic Firefox's Rapid Rise, Says Report: A report has been released which indicates that Thunderbird is not flourishing the way Firefox is.

Thunderbird's major shortcoming is the absence of an integrated calendar, the report says. A future release is expected to fill that void. Once calendaring becomes available, Thunderbird will be much more competitive, the report suggests.

Even so, the study notes that Outlook's position is strengthened by third-party developers. With hundreds of plug-ins available, Outlook users may be reluctant to switch until Thunderbird offers a greater range of expansion options.

I say give it time. Lightning will help.

The Western European mobile content market has been slow to take off, reaching just EUR2.3 billion in 2003, well behind Japan and Korea. Revenues could reach EUR15.0 billion by 2009 if operators resolve pricing and billing issues. New services are taking centre stage, such as mobile music, video clips and downloadable information applications. Java will increasingly displace SMS and WAP as the method of delivery for text-based information. Report includes forecasts for service adoption, spend, ARPU and revenue in France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Sweden, the UK and Western Europe as a whole. [PRWEB Dec 19, 2004]

When a content owner creates an audio or video stream, they can add script commands (such as URL script commands and custom script commands) to be encoded in the stream. When the stream is played back, the script commands can trigger events in an embedded player program, or they can open your browser and then navigate to a Web page. This behavior is by design

Slipstream SP2 into Windows XP

Slipstream SP2 into Windows XP 08/10/2004 12:11 AM
Now that Windows XP Service Pack 2 is available to the general public, we've taken the liberty of creating a tutorial to show you how to slipstream Service Pack 2 (SP2) into a standard bootable Windows XP Installation CD.

The benefits of slipstreaming SP2 into a bootable Windows XP CD are numerous, including being able to reinstall Windows XP without the need to download and install SP2 from Windows Update afterwards. Files will automatically be up-to-date with the latest SP2 files should you need to change your system.

Screenshots and Step-By-Step instructions are included as well as links to any and all files/applications you'll need.

(KB825116) 11/04/2003 11:37 PM
DirectX 9.0b was released on 7/23/03 to address the MIDI security issue identified in bulletin MS03-030. A small number of non-security fixes were also included in the release. One of these fixes caused several TV Tuner capture card/driver combinations using video formats other than NTSC (NTSC-J, PAL, SECAM) to no longer initialize correctly on Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003. Symptoms include loss of capture functionality and potential inability to set/retain device capture settings. This hotfix, documented further in Knowledge Base article 825116, has been issued to correct the flaw. 11-04-03 update: The English hotfix package has been modified to allow patching of all language installations supported by the affected Operating Systems.

Slipstreaming a Service Pack, is the process to integrate the Service Pack into the installation so that with every new installation the Operating System and Service Pack are installed at the same time. Slipstreaming is usually done on network shares on corporate systems. But with the advent of CD burners, it does actually make some sense for the home user or small business user to do the same. This is a very handy guide on…

Microsoft have released info on the progress of their next generation installer sofware, version 3.

"Since the general availability of Windows XP Service Pack 2, the Windows Installer team has received numerous inquiries about the status of the Windows Installer 3.0. We wanted to give everyone an update and pointers to where you can find the information you need. The Windows Installer 3.0 is released in three pieces:

The first piece is the actual bits that shipped as part of Windows XP Service Pack 2. Service Pack 2 is widely available through Windows Update as well as from here.

The second piece is the SDK documentation and tools that are available of the Windows XP Service Pack 2 SDK that is now available from here.

The final piece is the down level redistributable for Windows 2000 Service Pack 3 and 4, Windows XP, Windows XP Service Pack 1, and Windows Server 2003. Unfortunately, we have experienced a delay in making this redistributable available. We expect to make the redistributable available in September, but we do not yet have a firm date."

For those of you how have been waiting for Microsoft to release the express installer for Service Pack 2 because 272MB is too much for you, the wait is now over.

Typical users of the express installer should expect a 80-90MB download, since the express installer only downloads updates for components that your computer has. This is a more reasonable size for dial-up users, and others who can't spare the bandwidth.

There is no difference in the files that are downloaded between this version and the full network install, except that the network install will contain content that your computer probably will not use. Also, it should be noted that you cannot use the express installer to create slipstream installs.
