Will Windows XP really no longer be on sale after June 30?

Sorry for the double negative, but no. All this means is that Microsoft will stop selling the OS. Finding a computer with XP preinstalled will likely be very difficult, as well. However, you’ll still be able to find copies for the foreseeable future, and likely the unforeseeable one, too. See for yourself: You can find copies of just about any Microsoft product, including ancient versions of Windows and even MS-DOS, by simply searching online. But hang on to your current copy of Windows XP. You may need it down the road if you don’t want to move toVista.

Will I be forced to upgrade to Vista soon?

No. But it will get harder and harder not to, especially since new software and peripherals are likely to stop working with XP. That could take years.

Will my XP machine stop working in June?
No, but Microsoft will stop releasing non-security software updates to the masses on April 14, 2009. But let’s be clear: XP will continue to “work” even after this point.

Will Microsoft shut off product activation for XP after June?

No, that would be crazy. While no one has said this will happen, it’s conceivable that Windows could shut down product activation for XP at some point. Butthat would only happen after XP reaches its end-of-support term (when all support plans expire). The good news for you: That happens on April 8, 2014, which should be plenty of time to get the kinks worked out of Vista-or switch to a Mac, Linux, or anything else. Bottom line: Your copy of XP will work, totally legally, for at least six more years.

What about this exception for Windows XP Home Edition I hear about?

Doesn’t apply to you. Microsoft will continue to sell XP to makers of ultra-cheap laptops like the Asus Eee PC until 2010 because they just can’t run Vista. But it is not going to make XP Home Edition available as installable software to end-users.

What about after 2014?

Well, that’s unclear. But it’s possible XP will stop being installable at that point. Microsoft’s official policy is that these dates have “no affect [sic] on how long you can use a product,” which may imply product activation will work forever. However, two things come to mind:
1) Even the most die-hard XP enthusiast will probably be ready to upgrade at that point (as XP will be nearly 15 years old, and your PC will be dead by then, I’m sure).
2) Even if Microsoft shuts off product activation, the hacker community will certainly make dozens of tools to let you continue using XP with abandon. Fret not.

Can I install XP on a PC that has Vista already on it?

Yes. You can delete any partition with any OS on it (and reformat it) during the installation of XP. If you’re feeling brave, you can even run both OSes at the same time bysetting up a dual-boot machine.

Any one who is seriously interested in the Search Engines should read the white paper “The Anatomy of a Large-Scale Hypertextual Web Search Engine” by Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page.

This document outlines the basics of the Google Algorithm.

People have spent years trying to re-engineer the Google Algorithm, only to find that as soon as they think they have started figuring out the secrets, Google changes its Algorithm and they have to start again from scratch.

As most programmers know, that having lean and economical code makes programs execute faster, so programmers are always trying to make less code do more. And this is basically what differentiates a good programmer from a poor one. The programmer who can code short and sweet is better than a programmer whose code is longer then it needs to be.

I have observed that when anyone conducts a search in Google, it only takes a friction of a second to pull up the results. So the question is “How can Google execute the query so fast?”

Answer is simple, Google Algorithm is maybe less than 1 page long. All the filters like the Page Rank, Sand Box just to name a few would be an additional 2 pages. So the complete code, could be about 3 pages long.

Google could also be using their own low level programming language which could be similar to the Assembly Language for programming so their code is incredibly fast.

The Databases that fuel the Google Machine could all be residing in Indexes created in Random Access Memory, Flash Memory and super fast Hard Disks.

It is common knowledge, that Google uses special hardware and software which is optimized to execute its code and algorithm. So the processors and all the hardware is optimized to execute the Google Algorithm.

So the Google Algorithm is not 300 or 3000 pages long, but maybe 3 pages long.

I have been working on the Medical Aid Foundation website for the last few months.

The website is nearly complete. Here is a little introduction about the Medical Aid Foundation

The Medical Aid Foundation was established with the aim to look after the welfare, rehabilitation, transport arrangements end guidance to the sick and destitute, and to help the suffering patients to correct and comprehensive medical care.

They are operating early cancer detection centers in Pakistan and providing treatment and long term health care to cancer patients.

As this is a charitable organization so they are in need of your support and contribution. Link Love is highly appreciated

I am always stressing the need to protect your computers and networks with a Hard Ware Firewall.

A Hardware firewall or a router is a very in-expensive way to secure your internet connection at your home and office.

Some points to consider when using Routers with WIFI connections is that you should try to use the WPA encryption option in your router to connect with it, if you don’t know how to do it, then at least use MAC address filtering to only allow your own computers to connect to your network.

the logic is simple, would you let someone connect their laptop to your office network and copy all your shared files on all your computers, Hell no, is the correct answer, so keeping your WIFI connection open is the same thing, just worst, becase you are actually inviting people into your network to take a peek in your office.

If you do not have a laptop with WIFI access, but your router has the WIFI option, then please turn it off for your own sake.

software firewall that is built into Windows XP is a good option so people should not turn it off. But there is something as UPNP in your Windows XP firewall settings which lets programs open port on your computer without even asking you, so I recommend that you should turn it off too. And better yet turn off the UPNP option from your hardware fireall / router as well.

Every Router is basically a Firewall because it protects your network from the dangers that lurk in every nook and corner on the internet.
