Apple and orange
Today there was a a seminar by a person who is a Software Engineer in IBM he Explain in the first slide of his presentation that he is strong promotor of Open soure so I set my mind to hear some unwanted segments about the Microsoft during the whole presentation. since it is the standard thing that the peoples from open source can't able to complete there sessions without saying something about the microsoft or ms product.
And you know it happened like same as i thought.
in almost all his examples of Testing (ohh I forgot to tell you that the seminar topic was about the testing) he said at least one sentence about the Microsoft product, bugs, windows and crashes of the windows, security patches etc.
during the QA session someone ask him about the longhorn (shocked na ! me too since the guy asking the question about the microsoft product to the person who is from IBM hhhh!!!!)
during this question he also comment on the microsoft marketing.... in place of giving the technical answer to that question which is about the directx and a graphics hardware requirement for longhorn (that student said that some special graphics hardware required for the longhorn ! I try to find out that on microsoft site but didn't get any thing like he said.) during this questions I comment on his answer and i decide to meet him(speaker) after the session
and after session I went to the stage and meet him. and ask some questions to him.
my one question to him was about the graphics of "FEDORA" the latest Ver. of Linux. I ask him that the Graphics of the FEDORA 3 is excellent but it is very slow to operate compare to Xp. I'm expecting some technical answer from him but you know what he said
" You are comparing the Apple and orange" (don't know windows is Apple or orange)
suddenly i through question that if in the case of comparing the graphics and the speed of OS LINUX and windows it is like Apple and Orange
why these LINUX peoples compare the Apple and Orange in case of security ?

MSN Spaces - a Blog tool by MSN
Finally one of my favorite sites MSN started the tool for blog called “MSN Spaces “. It is in BETA stage but looking nice. I was waiting for this last few months since Microsoft started the blog site in Japanese few months back and finally today I here the news about the “MSN Spaces” and I quickly I go to msn.com and resisted one Spaces for me as http://spaces.msn.com/members/maheshm . It has that same look in blue color like hotmail and for which I use the hotmail even though it has only 2 MB inbox where Gmail has 1 GB. For registration you only have to Sign in by your Microsoft Passport ID and have to provide the name for you space that’s all your space is ready for the posting.
It is providing place to write the blogs and publish them, share their photos (10 MB), music, contact list, and a Varity of Templates and edit the layout as you want by simply changing the position of the windows. You do not need to play with HTML like my other blog sites to edit the layout of your blog.
Some cool features:
cool integration with your media player play lists, MSN Messenger etc
You can upload photos to their Spaces from virtually any e-mail service or e-mail-enabled mobile device. 10 MB space is provided for this.
Contact Cards. When a person clicks on a Contact Card in a MSN Messenger or Hotmail® Contact list, the card pops up and gives a sneak peek at that contact’s Space – from its look and feel to the person’s most recent postings. The Contact Card includes links to the Space and those entries for easy access.
Gleaming. When a Spaces site is updated or content is added, the MSN Messenger Contact icon of the Space’s owner will light up, making it easy for friends and family to know when there have been changes. This facilitates more visits to a Space, faster responses to new postings and closer bonds between Space owners and their contacts.
Three permission control settings on their MSN Spaces site, enabling them to decide just how widely they want to share their content:
– Public: Viewable by anyone
– Contacts Only: Viewable only by their MSN Messenger contacts
– Private: Viewable only by contacts whose e-mail addresses are manually entered by the MSN Spaces author or selected from an MSN Contact list
Controls. MSN Spaces gives the consumer control over how others interact with his or her Space. MSN Spaces includes settings that give each person power over who views his or her Space and how people can interact, read and comment on the Space. This includes the ability to set up the Space so people can read but not comment.
Statistics. Consumers will be able to track visitor statistics on their Spaces site, so they will know how many people are visiting as well as other detailed information.
The various sections on the MSN Space e.g. music list, blog entry are moveable. This is just done by dragging and dropping. Also, if you want to remove / add certain sections from your space (e.g. u wants to remove the book list) you can do that too....
support RSS 2.0
so try it and enjaoy !!!

India Community Chats
http://www.microsoft.com/india/communities/chat/default.aspx
Microsoft has launched the community chats for India. What is the difference between the community chat and an MSDN Chat? A question must come in your mind as like me. One of my friends from Microsoft explains this question like this I put it down in his words …
MSDN Chats were primarily developer chats around MS Dev tools and technologies. Community chats cover the rest of them that include products like Office, Windows and any other MS topic... We are even encouraging non-technical topics like people's experience with MSN and other philosophies.
MSDN chats are primarily operated as an "expert" mode chat. In the chat all the attendees ask their questions and the expert answers them. In the community chat we let people share ideas and have a true "community" experience. There is a "leader" who takes leads in answering the questions and the chat is open for everyone else to contribute in answering the questions apart from just asking them.
Here is some info for you
The lists of community chats due in the future are available http://www.microsoft.com/india/communities/chat/default.aspx.
Microsoft counts your community participation in the web chats and awards you with mileage points for the same. You can register for community mileage program http://www.microsoft.com/india/communities/mileage
what’s even better is that you can conduct a community chat yourself if you so desire. If you want to conduct any community chat, please register http://www.microsoft.com/india/communities/chat/register.aspx Microsoft will get in touch with you to confirm the date and time of the chat.
If there is a suggestion that you have regarding community chats, please feel free to write to Microsoft at commind@microsoft.com
