Europeans will get a full version of Windows 7 at upgrade prices
Microsoft will not be offering an upgrade version of Windows 7 in Europe.
 
http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/technology/8118749.stm
In Europe, Microsoft will send buyers of new PCs a full version of the software rather than an upgrade version. The European edition will lack Internet Explorer.

Europeans who want to get hold of Windows 7 but have not bought a new PC will be able to buy it at a discount. In the UK, the Home Premium edition of Windows 7 will be £79.99 until 31 December 2009

 By contrast buying this edition after 31 December will cost £149.99.

 WINDOWS 7 DISCOUNT PRICES
Home Premium - £79.99 = $128 USD
Professional - £189.99  =    $ 304 USD
Ultimate - £199.99        =    $ 320 USD

Just days after Norway’s data protection department told ISPs they must delete all personal IP address-related data three weeks after collection, it’s now become safer than ever to be a file-sharer in Norway. The only law firm with a license to track pirates has just seen it expire and it won’t be renewed.

Earlier this month we reported that since Norway’s Personal Data act prohibits the storage of unnecessary data, ISPs in the country must delete all IP address-related personal information they hold on their customers which is more than three weeks old. This makes it very hard in most cases to track down illicit file-sharers.

Now according to a Norwegian report, going after domestic file-sharers has become more difficult than ever before.

Since 2006, the Simonsen law firm - home of notorious pirate-chasing lawyer Espen Tøndel - has been in possession of a license from Norway’s data protection office...  ...Read Full Article HERE

The committee Brinkman, who had to see whether the Dutch government financially ailing newspaper industry needs support, advises an Internet tax. This enables innovative online initiatives funded.

The advice for setting up an internet supplement is now presented to the Board by Minister Ronald Plasterk of Education, as reported daily newspaper Trouw. Setting a surcharge on each Internet would be levied, the consumer aware that news and news not free.

In the opinion of the committee Brinkman is also calling for the proceeds of a levy in Internet online initiatives with the regional media stabbing. Moreover, publishers want to invest in Internet projects, on the low VAT rate of 6 percent to pay.

The opinion also states that the program of public service broadcasting for all media available to come. This would for example, self-publishing TV guides can spend. The committee...  ...Read Full Article HERE

£6 (9.5USD) tax on telephones to pay for fast broadband access

A charge of 50p per month is to be levied on all landline telephone bills to subsidise the Government's plan to bring broadband internet access, and faster download speeds, to every home in the country by 2012.

The move is part of proposals for a "digital revolution" to overhaul Britain's internet infrastructure, as well as the media and telecommunications sector. The much-anticipated Digital Britain report was presented to MPs yesterday by the Culture secretary Ben Bradshaw, who said it would help the UK to secure a competitive, low-carbon economy within five to 10 years and "accelerate Britain's recovery from the biggest economic shock the world has seen since the war".

Going by such names as Gumblar, JSRedir-R, Martuz, and Beladin, a new generation of malware has managed to surreptitiously place malicious JavaScript code on tens of thousands of popular Web sites.

The hacker scripts try to infect site visitors and then attempt to use their compromised PCs to spread the infection to yet other sites.

Over the past month, the security services ScanSafe and Sophos have reported infections on such major Web sites as ColdwellBanker.com, Variety.com, and Tennis.com. Niels Provos reported in the Google security blog on June 3 that sites infected with Gumblar numbered about 60,000. Visitors became susceptible to infection simply by opening the sites in Internet Explorer.

After the script infects a PC, it attempts to spread its code to any Web site accessible via that machine's FTP client, if one is present. Webmasters often use FTP to make changes to the sites they manage. If FTP...  ...Read Full Article HERE
