In about a week Microsoft is going to kill support for Windows XP, one of the most popular iterations of its operating system. It has been around for a long, long time and there are still a lot of users out there who haven’t updated to subsequent iterations. The company has been trying to raise awareness about the potential threats that may rise after support for Windows XP is stopped. It has even started offering a $100 discount to users who jump ship from Windows XP to Windows 8.1, the latest iteration. But it appears that those migrating prefer Windows 7 over Windows 8.

Many years ago, there were some who were outraged that Microsoft bundled Internet Explorer with every copy of Windows where they were accused of monopolizing the browser market, which at that time consisted of fewer players than there are today. Could Microsoft soon be landing themselves into another similar predicament with Windows 8.1?
According to a leaked memo, it seems that Microsoft has recently begun to share the Windows 8.1 Update 1 with OEMs to allow them to install it onto their products before it is shipped to consumers, thus saving the user’s time from downloading the update themselves. However according to the leaked memo, it seems that Microsoft is also “strongly” encouraging OEMs to bundle the company’s OneNote app together with the update. (more…)

Former Firefox Developer Explains Mozilla’s Decision To Drop Its Modern UI Project
Posted in: Today's Chili
We know that Mozilla has been hard at work creating a version of Firefox that would run on Windows 8’s Metro UI. Unfortunately a day right before the app was supposed to be released, Mozilla announced that they would be killing off the project, claiming that because not many people ran Windows 8 in the Metro environment that it didn’t make sense for them to release it.
It was a valid reason but according to former Mozilla Firefox developer, Brian R. Bondy, he dives into a more detailed explanation as to why Mozilla killed off Firefox for the Metro UI, and that he believes Mozilla ultimately made the right decision in killing off the project. (more…)

Leaking information like company information, software, and so on can land a person in pretty hot water. If you might recall it was about a couple of years ago when copies of Windows 8 began making their way around the internet? It was discovered that a Microsoft employee by the name of Alex Kibkalo was the one responsible for those leaks.
After a year’s worth of investigation, Kibkalo was recently arrested for stealing Windows-related trade secrets. Apparently Kibkalo, a senior architect at Microsoft, was motivated to leak the Windows 8 files, which were under a strict NDA at that time, due to a poor performance review that he was given during his tenure at the company.

If you’re planning on getting your hands on the Apple’s brand new Mac Pro and were thinking about dual booting both OS X and Windows thanks to the Boot Camp software, you might want to take note that for the Mac Pro, Boot Camp will only support the installation of Windows 8 or later.
What this means is that OS X users who want to dual boot Apple’s platform and Windows 7 (or lower), you’d be out of luck. This is according to an updated Apple Support document which has listed the version of Windows that will be compatible with the latest Mac Pro computer. (more…)
