So All you Pownce Users, hurry up and backup your messages via the Export feature.

Microsoft has confirmed that the successor of the Vista operating system will officially be called Windows 7.

Mike Nash, Corporate Vice President, Windows Product Management says in a post in Windows Vista Team Blog that the idea behind naming it Windows 7 was simplicity itself.

He goes on to say that over the years they have tried different approaches for naming Windows right from version numbers like Windows 3.11, dates like Windows 98, or aspirational monikers like Windows XP and Vista. But reusing the same concepts are useless now. so they have kept the name "Windows 7" for simplicity and also since this is the seventh release of Windows, so therefore "Windows 7" just makes sense.

A pre-beta developer only release will be handed out at PDC and WinHEC this year.

So what do you think? Will the new OS be better than the disastrous Windows Vista which failed to impress the people worldwide?

4 of the 11 updates has been labeled “critical” Updates, with 6 being labelled “important,” and one update labelled as “moderate update”.

7 of the 11 updates will address the vulnerable issues that can be used to execute remote code,  which means hackers could exploit those vulnerabilities to add their own malicious code into PCs, by fooling the users to open a file attachment or tricking them to visit a rogue Web site. The other 4 updates, including all six marked important, will address different bugs in various Windows versions.

Microsoft also announced that they are going to drop the support for Office 2003 SP2 Version shortly and will support only SP3 version from now on.

After much speculation and much waiting, Airtel has finally launched its DTH services across 62 Cities and 21,000 retail units.

One of the most distinguishing features will be that Airtel’s DTH services would have an universal remote for both the set-top box (STB), which receives signal from the antenna, and the television set, besides other features such as high STB memory, exclusive interactive applications, onscreen games and more efficient battery. Airtel Digital TV uses the MPEG4 standard with DVB S2 technology, which translates into picture clarity and consistent high quality audio for the customer. This technology also enables delivery of more complex interactive content and is “High Definition” ready, according to Mr. Manoj Kohli, the CEO and MD of Airtel.

Initially, the company had introduced three separate packages for both the North and Southern markets. For the Northern market, the package starts from Rs 2,499 and the Southern package would start from Rs 1,499. Depending on the channels the consumer wants, the monthly tariffs will range from Rs 125 to Rs 424.
