Windows 8 new file system or to replace NTFS Protogon exposure

Although in today's All Thing Digital: D9 Conference, Microsoft first demonstrated Windows 8, including the new start page, two different types of applications and more suitable for touch-screen interface, but there are many things that still need our further mining, for example, to introduce the following file system Protogon.

It is used in Windows 8 will be a new file system, first found that the change of Sando Villinger IT World, said: "I found a hidden file system on the changes, but the current still not sure which seems to be a new file system driver, named 'NT Protogon FS driver', appears to be for a feature called 'Protogon' unknown file system kernel-mode drivers. "

Unfortunately, we currently can not determine the Protogon will replace the NTFS file system as the main or only a small subsystem.

In the version of Windows 8 have been leaked, we can see that, disk manager has been able to detect "Protogon" file, but through the chkdsk command can not detect the file. The only thing certain is that, "Protogon" file system is still in the development process.

Rumor: Microsoft to buy Nokia?

One of the most important items: Microsoft Nokia, the most prolific producer of mobile phones around the world, although now accepted by Apple's revenue from mobile phones.

The voice comes from the Russian blogger Mutazin Eldar, has the form suggested the negotiations last year between Nokia and Microsoft Windows Mobile, Symbian and Nokia wants to keep all the rigorous thought - since abandoned. Nokia has also quoted in July 2010 that it was some time with their hands on the new Nokia kits - something he was not happy. (The application needs to know.) Of course, he is in contact in the Finnish society.

He predicted that kills the brand Ovi (online store) - the company has opened its doors on Monday. Once again, suggested that the current CEO Stephen Elop (formerly Microsoft as a reminder) leaves at the end of 2012. Stretching our credulity, to be honest, I do not Elop to us as a man who leaves half the job. And even if the monitoring of sales of Microsoft, a new division of cells, is not it time to stop.

Nokia communications director Mark Squires Netherlands Twitter, generally can not comment on rumors. But to say that the Eldar voices are far less clear at all times. What you call the negation of negation can not. Not that this is false. It 's easy to comment on the general form of voices, Eldar.

Assuming, then, assuming that this item is true, as Microsoft has to do more than pay? Nokia's market capitalization is 32 billion dollars (£ 19.7bn), and decreased by 44 billion U.S. dollars in the days before Microsoft tieup Nokia. It looks like from the beginning of the year:

Microsoft stack of money? $8bn dollars to buy Skype, only 32 billion dollars. Hey, the same number! But surely the prize for cell division, non-profit, unlike other branches of Nokia - Maps Navteq company with the disappearance of small losses (-. €62m €262m in sales in the first quarter loss €225m 142 M € to € $ 3.1 last quarter, the loss of 602 € is - on turnover of € 1 billion last year) and the telephone network with Nokia Siemens Networks, which losses are very large (€ 12.6 billion in sales last year.)

Navteq earlier about 25% and a profit of 5% NSR. But NSN loses more.

If Microsoft buys cell division, calms down a huge statue of the shareholders of Nokia, which are two trade pretty useless - NAVTEQ's business model is offered by Google, which offers free cards for mobile phones and the NSN is chewed by Huawei and Ericsson. You can try to sell them, but the reality is that Navteq is depressing and valleys NSN cell division, and not explode. Without it, Nokia is a bit 'more useful, at least from cell division to generate profits and cash.

We expect to manage cash and stock. But this would require more than Microsoft stock to be issued, and that the stock price even more stress to what has already, and leads to the shareholders of Microsoft - is the pain, because it is used to advertise the parties in the last ten years - to scream even louder. If Steve Ballmer was seen in all make mistakes, called it the last straw. Well, I hope not.

Yes, it would be much more strategic point of view, the main supplier of Skype for smartphones in the world (24 million vs. 18 million in Apple, but Apple has more revenue from mobile phones - and so is the world's largest manufacturer of mobile phones sale, but not the size) will be a powerful combination.

What is a dramatic reversal of the practice that Microsoft has more or less since its inception: the creation of software, you can create other software, hardware. But with the Xbox (J Allard insisted) is finished, the Zune music player (with less success, it is interesting, the proposal Allard).

Microsoft as a product of society? Stranger things have happened - like Apple from the dead. If you continue to watch with fascination. The United States government? (Probably.) If the Finnish government? (Difficult.) Nokia employees in Finland? (Very difficult).

And, of course, others in this entry will never become obsolete. Stephen Elop will and Ballmer did not want to waste time and picked up by this statement in detail. Just look.

5 reasons why Skype is reached office

When Microsoft announced its acquisition of Skype, a turning point for many early users, the simplicity and utility services from the early days of its bid in 2003.

Since the acquisition also represents a greater potential acceptance by businessmen. Of course it depends on what Microsoft does with Skype. It is an integrated suite of Microsoft sanctions as a means of communication. But there are signs that Microsoft as a standalone product for the millions of people who like to be respected. Taking these factors into account, we see five reasons why Skype will change in companies around the world.

Customer service Skype, a new generation of services for large companies have one thing in common. People use all the time. IPhone to work and play. People use Gmail for their private and professional life. Skype is in the same category. It is a day with his mother and the next minute to discuss with colleagues. We invite our Skype video-conferencing tools, your Year 2010 for action to ensure the enterprise-class connectivity with the convenience of its consumer products.

Cloud and Skype Ted Schadler, Forrester Research, said he expects Microsoft CIO.com, Skype services market in the cloud Windows Azure and Office 365, it can be assumed, Skype, is synchronized with the eighth of Windows may be some time after but the logical continuation of communication with a single click with your colleagues and friends. Integration with Lync is another matter. Lync is the sequel to Microsoft technology integrates audio, video and web conferencing. Is incorporated, that Skype can disappear into the environment. Skype is a service to peer-to-peer, and its integration with Lync is a question mark. Skype will be as flexible as Microsoft? This is my question.

Skype and Windows Mobile will be connected, Microsoft has invested more than U.S. $9.5 billion participation last year in communication through a partnership with Nokia to $1 billion $8.5 billion and Skype. This means that millions of smartphones with VoIP for cheaper alternatives that applications for business communication is important because the costs.

Skype Developer Community Think about how many types of mobile VoIP Skype Microsoft can now use the Nokia. In addition, the Skype ecosystem of application development on devices with Windows. Now you have inexpensive device with the community around it. Building an active community of developers, the main challenge for Microsoft, the developer of the first Apple and Google Android waste IOS. Skype video and kinetic

The idea began to experience video games, in fact, Skype. Connect with the kinetics and finished the impression that the film is much more natural than the desktop model was popular in the last 10 years. Voice of Google and Apple see and be seen playing for the occasion. Another challenge for these companies, as well as services such as Skype works perfectly kinetics, but flexible enough that they are trapped in the integration process.

Video kinetic example, is sold as a meeting house. You can watch live video chat kinetics connect to Xbox Live and Windows Live Messenger related users.To kinetic Lync require complex integration. But Skype can lose the connection? The point is, once again, integration and cost-effectiveness as a tool for kinetic Enterprise. Julie Bard makes Microsoft Update for the Xbox can be used as a videoconferencing system at low cost. But with the SDK for Windows and Xbox kinetic Skype is not a necessary part of the puzzle.

Last idea to use Skype, how to get a comparison of Microsoft to lose. When services are tightly integrated. E 'integration, bureaucracy hinders many different and innovative. But if Skype is poorly connected and the developer community of coal, there is not much to say. This is a business model that accounts for developers. And that makes work fun. Skype is a pleasure. Kinetics of fun. Windows Mobile 7 is a unit of potential income. Just do not block Skype and the market should be open well.

The machines are Samsung and Acer, both machines with Microsoft software.

The movement is the first Google directly from the market on the home page of Microsoft operating systems for computers and office software - some monopolies to generate about 5,000 million zł profits for companies in any quarter. Up until now, largely avoided direct competition with the company of Bill Gates' in key areas, rather than focusing on features such as search and e-mail and Web documents of online services.

Books Chrome shift functions that are common on the Internet, eliminating the Google too much time on tasks that seem to be associated with traditional computers, such as installing and updating software, backing up and testing of Kaspersky Anti-Virus, executives said. , The complexity of management of computer users is a torture, and Google co-founder Sergey Brin said in a conference Google I / O in San Francisco. ; The model is based.

The point is that it encourages people to spend more time on the Internet - where they are most likely to use Google, and so to see if your ads, because Google is the leading provider of search ads to share with about 90% of the world .

In a further step in encouraging people to their computers from your computer, Google will begin on Tuesday launched its online music store in the U.S. service allowing users to record and listen to music, or that the cloud.

Microsoft: Skype, the proper use of huge pile of money abroad

If Microsoft in March, the company recorded in the first quarter broke a huge pile of money outside the U.S. at the end of the quarter, the company has a total of $50 billion in cash, and not all open our eyes $42 billion abroad. Because of strong support from the corporate side has been trying to raise money for the United States saw their few options: foreign acquisitions to develop its activities in the area knocked absorb the force, or the hope of changing the political climate and the Congress decides to finance the repatriation tax-free. What I lack the money for dividends or share buybacks.

Keep in mind when you think about the wisdom of the company has announced that Internet telephony service Skype for 8.5 billion U.S. dollars in cash. On the one hand, as mentioned above, Skype is based in Luxembourg - so that they can use the small bar $ 42000000000 abroad. (One has to wonder, in fact, when companies such as the system tried a similar assessment purposes, for example, of Mountain View.)

Respond quickly to the number of important elements in a hurry.

* The prices indicated on the surface, looking at nearly 10 times sales last year.
* Meeting of growth, but it is important to Yahoo as an independent company, is even greater if it matches the various versions of Microsoft Internet Information Services.
* The use of foreign currency rating softens the blow high.
* Street believes Microsoft will be key to new ways of Skype, a large base of users who pay nothing to use for the service address.

He also noted that the company's cash, with U.S. $ 42000000000 plates are used for off-shore size compared to similar workers, residents of the same size. (A total turnover of cash at the end of the March quarter was 50 billion dollars). Together, we believe that the player in a logical and strategic Microsoft makes the loudest voice on the Internet, mobile and video. But if Microsoft continues to show me a story. ;
   
* Caris Sandeep Aggarwal, Co.. He also asked to share the rich, but added that Skype can use Microsoft in many ways, the first post of Microsoft / Lync Server 2010 for its clients in order to improve the business class, he writes.

Finally, Microsoft can use Skype for Windows Mobile 7 pillars of the service. ;
  
* Jim Yin, Standard Poor's, believes that MSFT will leverage Skype Technologies for multiple platforms, including Xbox and kinetics, Windows Mobile and other mobile devices that have Windows operating systems, he writes. ; We believe that the proposed acquisition of additional revenue from online advertising will be generated.

* Yun Kim, Gleacher What: even if the technology of Skype, the current communication software portfolio with the addition of MSFT, we believe that the true value of the 145 million Skype users, including 8.8 million paying customers he wrote. ; We believe that Skype customers have a lot of MSFT are introduced and possibilities for improvement of many companies MSFT. We can see immediately on the occasion of its platform the Google search engine to get MSFT to Skype. We can also encourage greater integration of Skype and its platform for smartphones, Windows Mobile 7, the adoption of the mobile platform, young people see. .

* Kevin Buttigieg, Collins Stewart, the acquisition of Skype MSFT is not the kind of transformation that investors such treatment is that, $ 8500000000 MSFT and MSFT does not require solid performance shows great potential for use, he writes, however, that the international balance of payments that can not be applied without substantial tax hit MSFT to use and seems to be a neutral, non-GAAP diluted and only a bit 'in GAAP earnings per share, excluding synergies.
 
* Ed Maguire, of CLSA Asia Pacific, with 663 million registered users by the end of 2010, the Skype user base and large, the net effect may be more able to go to Microsoft's collaboration portfolio of thought and of flow values ​​of communication, such as SharePoint, Lync Office365 and seconded. ; Concerns about the assessment should take into account other uses of cash, in this case, we believe that competitive advantage, Microsoft has announced the adjusted price. We believe that there is still a million more aggressive course of Microsoft, has said in an interview with a visibility of construction and inventory. ;

* Neil Herman, Soleil Securities:; $ 8500000000 number one with Microsoft, which have a significant impact on their top line of the long-term needs of the various possibilities of billions of dollars of revenue to go to Internet telephony is clearly written, he said.
