<title>Enable Vista-Native Network Access Protection on XP SP3</title>
<link>http://news.softpedia.com/news/Enable-Vista-Native-Network-Access-Protection-on-XP-SP3-85517.shtml</link>
<description><![CDATA[Network Access Protection (NAP) is one of the few features that were actually added to Windows XP SP3. However, the management of the policy enforcement platform present by default in both Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008 is not as streamlined on XP SP3 as it is in the latest server and client operating systems. In Vista for example all that end users need to do is start the service through the NAP Client Configuration MMC (napclcfg.msc). The same is not valid for XP SP3 RTM Build 5512, as ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates noted during the Japan-Windows Digital Lifestyle Consortium, held in Tokyo on May 7, 2008, that the Redmond company was "hard at work" by his own measure on the next iteration of the Windows client referred to as Windows 7. The product number practice coming to replace the traditional codename policy is the work of Steven Sinofsky, Senior Vice President, Windows and Windows Live Engineering Group, and so is the deadening silence surrounding the operating system.

<description><![CDATA[Microsoft has come out guns blazing after claims based on independent security reports place Windows Vista on par, and even on an inferior position as compared to Windows 2000 in terms of security. Austin Wilson, Director, Windows Client Security Product Management, rejected the validity of statistics compiled by security vendor PC Tools Software in a study comparing Vista security to that of older Windows clients. Wilson denied that Microsoft’s latest Windows operating system was in any manner ...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Microsoft has evolved its instant messaging client, but the evolution does not involve the next version of Windows Live Messenger, labeled as 9.0 and released initially in November 2007, as a private Beta. In fact, there is still no word from Microsoft as to the future of the successor of Windows Live Messenger 8.5, version 9.0 still being in the Beta development phase at this point in time. However, Microsoft did manage to take Windows Live Messenger one step further by introducing Premium Vide...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[According to Microsoft, it seems that not only is Office 2007 a smashing success on the Windows client, but Office 2008 has debuted with the strongest launch in history for Apple&#039;s Mac computers. Designed as the equivalent of Office 2007 but for Mac, Office 2008 was launched at the beginning of this year at the Macworld Expo 2008.

<description><![CDATA[Although Microsoft claims that both Internet Explorer 7 and Internet Explorer 8 Beta 1 play well with Windows XP Service pack 3 RTM, the fact of the matter is that there are a few subtleties that cause the browsers to become permanent components of the operating system, rather than offering the uninstall option. The issues involve already installed copies of IE7 and IE8 Beta 1 on XP SP2 and subsequent deployments of XP SP3, both browsers becoming impossible to remove. But there is one additional...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[There are but scarce details pointing the direction in which Microsoft is taking the development of Windows 7, and the operating system, for that matter. Nevertheless, if Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates is to be believed, Windows 7 is going to be less of a resource hog than its predecessor, although such a comparison can only be speculated upon and was not actually stated. On May 7, 2008, one day after the Redmond company dropped Windows XP SP3 via Windows Update and the Download Center, Gates was...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Microsoft is not replacing rival RIA technology Flash from Adobe with its own equivalent Silverlight across the entire span of its web properties. But this is merely a temporary situation representatives from the Redmond company explained.

<description><![CDATA[Microsoft has warned consumers to exercise caution and be wary of what it referred to as "high-end" pirated products. According to the Redmond company, end users and small businesses are the most likely to fall victim to counterfeiters dealing with high-quality bootlegged software.

<description><![CDATA[Microsoft made a new move at the end of the past week designed to take the European Union financial penalties saga one step further. The Redmond company has had a rough ride in the European arena cumulating a total of $2.5 billion worth of fines, but it has not hesitated to raise the stakes in its apparently continuous face-off with the EU Antitrust Commission by lodging an appeal against the latest financial penalty issued on February 27, 2008.
