We are all aware that the need for more power conserving motherboards are in demand today and apparently Gigabyte had this in mind when it launched its G31 series. To most people, any motherboard would do. What is important is that they get their computer working under any conditions and apparently, motherboards are critical factors to make these things work.
There are a lot of computer motherboard manufacturers who are trying to do the same thing. But in the same way the technology is changing, the same holds true for ideal motherboards that can obviously be introduced in the market. Computer manufacturers should always be one step ahead since most people who care so much for their sets want the latest products that can help them achieve maximum performance as well.
The thing is on whether anyone really care about energy saving motherboards these days? We all know the value of trying to our own part to save the environment and energy resources used by a desktop are key even if some perceive them to be minimal in nature. While we may not notice it, each drop of help will go a long way and considering that there are over a million people today who make use of computers, you can just imagine one user will have on the world.
Power efficiency is likewise important towards making sure all key components of a computer are working properly. The resources used by a computer will entirely depend on how well various chips and boards on the CPU will be managed.

If you have a program that you use a lot you can create your own combination of keys to run it. In this tutorial we will set up a keyboard shortcut for Microsoft Word.
The keyboard combination is associated with a shortcut rather than the program itself. So we need to locate a shortcut for Word. You may have one on your desktop, if not you will have one in your Start menu. It is generally best to associate the combination of keys with the shortcut in the Start menu because if the shortcut is deleted the key combination will not work any more, and this is less likely to happen with the Start menu shortcut.
Click on the 'Start' button, then hover over 'Programs', then over 'Microsoft Office', then right-click on the icon for Word and select 'Properties' (or do the same on your desktop icon if you wish to use that one instead).
Go to the 'Shortcut' tab on the 'Properties' dialogue box and click on the text box next to 'Shortcut key' where it says 'None'. Hold down Ctrl and Alt keys and press W.
From now on, whenever you press Ctrl, Alt and W Word will open. You can set up shortcuts for as many programs as you like, as long as the combination is not used elsewhere in Windows. Each combination must include two of the following: Ctrl, Alt and Shift, and one other key.

Here’s an interesting campaign from Microsoft Australia to promote Office 2007. By listening to a short thirty-second demo of Office 2007 presented by a nine year old kid, Microsoft promises to donate one Australian dollar to the Smith Family - a charity in Australia to support. Although the site’s terms and conditions state “Microsoft may choose to donate up to $100,000 regardless (of number of views)”, the kids puts a smile on your face anyway so check it out.
Ethan (top left kid) especially has a rather interesting explanation of “What is Microsoft”. And Elani (bottom right kid) has a rather blunt answer to the question “What do you learn at school”. I’ll leave you to check it out for yourself and everything else.
If you need another reason to have a look, it’s also a pretty polished Silverlight site.

The equivalent of Microsoft’s Silverlight but for Linux operating systems is available for download as of May 13, 2008, under the label Moonlight. According to the official description of the technology, Moonlight is nothing more than the open source implementation of Silverlight, tailored for UNIX systems. With this latest step in the evolution of Silverlight, Microsoft can finally claim that the technology is truly cross-platform, because ahead of the May 13 public release of Moonlight, support was available exclusively for Windows and Mac OS X operating systems.
Moonlight is a project developed in parallel with Microsoft Silverlight, but not by the Redmond company. In fact, Microsoft partnered with Mono, an open source project backed by Novell, in order to port Silverlight to Linux. At this point in time Moonlight is still in development, and as such comes with the inherent problems associated with any Beta.
“The release comes in two forms: no-media codecs supported, but easy to install. This currently hosts builds for Linux x86 and x86-64 for Firefox. [And] source-code compilation, but you can optionally compile FFMpeg codecs yourself. To do this, download our moon-0.6.tar.bz2. And follow the build instructions”, revealed Miguel de Icaza, Novell Vice President for Developer Technologies.
De Icaza noted that Moonlight is designed to integrate seamlessly with both Firefox 2.0 and Firefox 3.0 releases, but that the latest modifications introduced in the development of version 3.0 of Mozilla’s open source browser will cause the open source implementation of Silverlight for Linux to malfunction. At this point in time Mono is offering both Moonlight 1.0 and 2.0 versions, adapted to correspond to Microsoft’s own Silverlight 1.0 and 2.0 releases.
“Moonlight supports “windowless” mode, a mechanism that allows Silverlight content to blend with other HTML elements on a page. This is only supported by Firefox 3, users of older versions of Firefox might run into Silverlight applications and web sites that do not work correctly as many Silverlight applications depend on this functionality (Flash sites have the same problem with Firefox 2)”, de Icaza added.
Novel Moonlight 1.0 and 2.0 Alpha are available for download here.

An update version of the Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool is now available for download and it’s a perfect fit for the latest service packs for Windows Vista and Windows XP. The Redmond company releases new versions of the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool on the second Tuesday of each month, accompanying the availability of the Security Bulletins dropped as part of the monthly patch cycle. The updated version of MSRT is distributed via Windows Update, Microsoft Update, Windows Server Update Services and is also up for grabs on the Download Center.
Microsoft has failed to emphasize the fact that MSRT integrates seamless with both Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and Windows XP Service Pack 3. However, tests reveal that the tool plays well with the latest releases of the two operating systems. Vista SP1, RTM’d on February 4, 2008, was released to the general public on March 18, and XP SP3 is accessible to end users since May 6, having been released to manufacturing on April 21.
“The Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool checks Windows Vista, Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 computers for and helps remove infections by specific, prevalent malicious software including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom. When the detection and removal process is complete, the tool displays a report describing the outcome, including which, if any, malicious software was detected and removed. The tool creates a log file named mrt.log in the %WINDIR%debug folder”, reads an excerpt of the tool’s description provided by Microsoft.
The Redmond company offers a 32-bit version of the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool for the x86 editions of Vista, XP (including XP PS3), Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003, and a 64-bit variant for the x64 SKUs of Vista, XP (just up to SP2) and Windows 2003. According to Microsoft there are in excess of 450 million executions of the Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool every month.

Windows Live for Windows Mobile is now available to download for your Windows Mobile phone. Windows Live for Windows Mobile lets Windows Mobile users sync their email from Windows Live Hotmail as well as their Windows Live Contacts.
To download, just head on over to this URL on your Windows Mobile phone:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/mobile/wl/download-en-us.mspx
UPDATE: Folks wanting a shorter URL to access Windows Live for Windows Mobile can go to the following URL - http://wl.windowsmobile.com/
Just download the .cab file for the version of Windows Mobile you are running (Standard or Professional). Windows Live for Windows Mobile works on phones running both Windows Mobile and Windows Mobile 6 (and 6.1).
Let me explain how I use Windows Live for Windows Mobile today on my BlackJack II. Because Windows Live for Windows Mobile syncs up my Windows Live Contacts - I encourage many of my contacts to edit their profiles and make sure their email addresses and phone numbers are correct. When their Windows Live Contact is synced to my phone - their name appears under my Contacts on my Windows Mobile phone (Windows Mobile has a centralized "contact directory"). Information my Windows Live Contacts fill out in their profiles appear on my phone. Users can have multiple phone numbers entered into their profiles for a variety of locations such as Mobile, Home, or Work. When I choose to call a Windows Live Contact - I choose any of the numbers they provided to me that is in their profile. Of course I can also edit their contact information either in Windows Live Messenger, Windows Live Mail or via the web in Windows Live Hotmail.
Speaking of Windows Live Hotmail - Windows Live for Windows Mobile also lets my sync my email to my Windows Mobile phone as well. With Push-Email - you can get your email from Windows Live Hotmail account as it comes in. The sync features for email in Windows Live for Windows Mobile let me view the same unread/read email messages on my Windows Mobile phone, desktop PC with Windows Live Mail, or via the web with Windows Live Hotmail. If I read an unread message on my phone, it not only becomes unread on my phone but also becomes unread in Windows Live Mail and on the web in Windows Live Hotmail.
Windows Live for Windows Mobile however does not come with a Windows Live Messenger client for your Windows Mobile phone. We've chosen to do this to support carrier's plans for IM services for their phones. If there is no IM client on your phone, you can try our browser based version of Windows Live Messenger to chat with friends or ask your carrier about IM options for your phone.
For me - Windows Live for Windows Mobile has become a huge asset for me in staying connected with Windows Live and is essential for my Windows Mobile device.
