Chris Pirillo does a good job spoofing that girl crying about people picking on Britney, but he does the same with Vista. Why can’t you all just leave Vista alone?

Windows SteadyState 2.5 beta is up on Microsoft Connect.

What is Windows SteadyState?

What state is your shared computer in at the end of the day?

• Hard disk filled with downloaded files?
• Strange options configured?
• Programs installed that you don’t want?
• System infected with viruses and spyware?
• Computer bogged down for unknown reasons?

Windows SteadyState, successor to the Shared Computer Toolkit, is designed to make life easier for people who set up and maintain shared computers.

An easy way to manage multiple users You can manage whole groups of users as single user accounts. The new Windows SteadyState console makes it easier than ever to create and modify user profiles.

Set it and forget it Once you have everything set up the way you want it, you can share the computer and rest easy. Any changes a user might make to the configuration or hard disk

Update: Or Yahoo could release their official update to include X64 update a day after, that works too.

It took Yahoo almost 12 months to deliver a pre-beta build of its Yahoo Messenger for Windows Vista with hardly any features but worst of all, isn’t even compatible 64-bit Windows. In contrast, it took just a little over an hour for a hobby software developer to write a patch making it so.

I don’t know what sort of show they’re running over at Yahoo, but they seem to partying and spraying champagne over live electronics more than writing code by the looks of things.

Rafael Rivera Jr., who some users might be familiar with for his work patching Microsoft’s UXTheme library for Windows, took a good look at Yahoo Messenger’s executables to figure out why it did not work on X64.

First of all, the installer actually prevents the user from even progressing in the install if it detects its run on an X64 machine. To get around this problem, users can download the actual installation files from Yahoo itself. After the installation completes, if you try to run the application it will halt with an error immediately after the splash screen. As it turns out, it’s not as

The Microsoft Security Response Center today announced what to expect in the December 2007 Security Bulletin, due next Tuesday ‘at or around 10 a.m. Pacific Time’. Included in the Security updates are six for Windows and 1 for IE. There will also be non-security updates released, which will include 6 released through Microsoft Update (likely non-Windows related), and 1 through Windows Update (likely Windows related).

I suspect at least two (one for Windows Vista, one for IE7) will be related to the vulnerability announced earlier this week. Outside of that, it’s hard to tell how many will affect Vist, as in the past many that do relate to XP or 2003 are not issues in Vista. So, we don’t know how much to expect, but using a term that’s become popular recently, get ready to receive some ‘bits’ on Tuesday!
