Windows 8 Will Not Include Dolby DVD Playback Technologies

The next major iteration of Windows will not include Dolby DVD playback technologies as Windows 7 does today. 

Dolby Laboratories confirmed this detail officially, although Microsoft hasn’t provided any information on the matter. 

It’s unclear how exactly a Dolby-less Windows 8 will impact customers, or if users will be affected in any way. 

The Redmond company did promise that Windows 8 will continue to support software and hardware designed to play nice with Windows 7, but the software giant said nothing about media content. 

“We work with operating system providers, ISVs and OEMs to support DVD on the PC. In recent years, our mix of PC licensing revenue has increasingly shifted towards the operating system as our technologies are included in 4 editions of Windows 7,” Dolby revealed. (via The Tech Trade)

  

“However, we have recently learned that our technologies are not currently included in the Windows 8 operating system under development.”

It’s critical to note that even if Microsoft has dropped support for Dolby technologies from the next version of Windows, there are solutions designed to circumvent the software giant. 

With the vast majority of Windows 8 copies shipping on new OEM machines, Dolby can simply work with Microsoft partners in order to provide their DVD playback technologies to users.

In fact, this seems to be the plan, according to Dolby:

“If our technologies are not included in the commercial version of Windows 8, we expect to support DVD playback functionality by increasingly licensing our technologies directly to OEMs and ISVs, and we will seek to extend our technologies to further support online content playback.

“It's important to note that DVD playback remains a fundamental component to most PC shipments worldwide. While we work with the industry to support DVD playback in its PC shipments, it is equally important that we continue to extend our formats to channels of delivery beyond DVD. 

“This will help ensure the relevance of our technologies to the PC long term. By doing this, we believe we can help consumers receive a high-quality consistent playback experience on their PC regardless of which platform they consume their content from.”

Free Microsoft e-Books on Windows Server, SQL Server, VS 2010 and WP7 Go Mobile

Microsoft has been offering a diversified collection of free e-books to customers interested in getting insight into a range of its technologies for over half a year now, and the company is upping the ante, by providing new flavors of the resources tailored to mobile devices. 

For the most part of 2011, the 9 free Microsoft Press books have been available for download either as PDF documents, XPS files or both. 

This changed recently, with the software giant also starting to provide some of the e-books in formats designed for modern form factors, such as e-readers. 

“We have 9 free e-books available in PDF format. The bonus news is that the Microsoft Press team have now made them available free in two additional formats, DRM-free EPUB and MOBI,” revealed Microsoft’s Ray Fleming. 

“This means you can read them more easily on a wide range of ereaders, notably Kindles and iPads - as well as the Nook, Sony Reader and Kobo eReader. Of course these files can also be read with ereading apps for the various devices on netbooks, laptops, and desktop PCs,” he added.

“The key difference between these formats and the previously-offered PDF and XPS files is that the text is “reflowable,” meaning that it recomposes depending on the width of the screen (or as you resize a Window).”

Microsoft Press did not make a fuss about the update it introduced to the set of free e-books, but Fleming made sure to provide a complete list of the new downloads, which I included at the bottom of this article. 

Not all of the 9 free Microsoft Press books are also available in EPUB and MOBI file formats. The remaining titles continue to be available for download however, as PDF files, and in some cases as XPS.

Users with Kindle devices should download the free Microsoft Press e-books in MOBI format, while EPUB is better suited to other form factors. 

Here is the list of free Microsoft Press e-books (MOBI and EPUB):

• "Programming Windows Phone 7" (Charles Petzold) - download here as EPUB and here as MOBI.   
• "Moving to Microsoft Visual Studio 2010" (Patrice Pelland, Pascal Paré, and Ken Haines) - download here as EPUB and here as MOBI.  
• "Introducing Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2" (Ross Mistry and Stacia Misner) - download here as EPUB and here as MOBI. 
• "Introducing Windows Server 2008 R2" (Charlie Russel, Craig Zacker and the Windows Server Team at Microsoft) - download here as EPUB and here as MOBI.
• "Own Your Future, Update Your Skills with Resources and Career Ideas from Microsoft" (Katherine Murray) - download here as EPUB and here as MOBI.

DotA Guide: Icarus - Phoenix Introduction

DotA is short for Defense of The Ancients, one of the most popular custom made maps for Warcraft III. To give players a better understanding of this complex and sometimes complicated game here is a hero guide.

Icarus the Phoenix was first introduced to DotA as an awesome secret boss in version 6.69. It later became a playable hero in 6.70 and there were really mixed feelings about him. It can be recruited at the Neutral Strength Tavern.

The hero has a great story as you can see next: "Ancient scriptures spoke of seven sacred emanations of light, and of their convergence in great conflict. The collision of these rays upon the mortal realm created a pyre of the highest purity, giving birth to the mythical Phoenix. 

As a manifestation of divine flames, Icarus can discharge either flames of death and destruction,  or of life and healing. The 

concentrated beam of energy that he can emit can incinerate whole armies from across the battlefield. 

Unafraid to utilize his own life-force in order to vanquish his enemies, Icarus can also harness the direct power of the sun to create a stellar explosion."

This hero has slightly more difficult skills, that can be a little hard to master, but once you learn them you're going to dominate the opposition:

• Icarus Dive (Shortkey D) - The Phoenix will dive forward to a fixed targeted direction, dealing 100/150/200/250 damage and disabling any unit it touches for 2/2.5/3.0/3.5 seconds; after which returns to his original position. If Phoenix initiates another skill during the dive, then the Icarus Dive spell ends. Be careful as this spell will cost you 10% of current HP to cast.

• Fire Spirits (Shortkey F) - Using 10% of the current HP, Icarus will create 4 fire spirits that orbit around him. Each of them will grow in power and does (7.5/12.5/17.5/22.5 minimum up to 30/50/70/90 maximum) damage or heal allies. 
• Sun Ray (R) - The Phoenix fires a massive light beam at the cost of 25% of current HP of his own life energy. The ray of light will damage enemies for a percentage of their life: 15/30/45/60 dmg/sec + 6% of target's max life. 
• Supernova (Shortkey V) - Phoenix puts an end to his current life and will be reborn from ashes. The process transforms him into a burning sun that cuts deep into his enemies health (60/80/100 damage/seconds) within 1000 range. The ball of fire can be attacked only by heroes using 5/7/9 attacks; and if it is destroyed, Phoenix dies as well. 

Here are, in my opinion, some luxury items you may want to posses later in the game: Heart of Tarasque, Eye of Skadi, Assult Cuirass, Stygian Desolator, Buriza-do Kyanon.

Overall, Icarus is a fun hero to play, there are so many ways to effectively use his skills and it’s possible to play a lot of different roles: ganker, support, pusher and even tank!

Windows 8 MinWin Evolution from Windows 7

Microsoft has moved onward with its plans to isolate the heart of Windows, and as such MinWin has evolved as the Redmond company made its way from Windows 7 to Windows 8. 

The next major iteration of Windows features in excess of 6,000 references to MinWin, that’s 60 times more than the 100 references sported by Windows 7. (via ITWorld)

For those that don’t know, MinWin came into focus as the software giant was building Windows Vista’s successor. But it appears that the project was yet to mature sufficiently, and this is what’s happening with the advent of Windows 8.

Some have referred to MinWin as the Windows 7 kernel. It’s not. Just as it’s not the kernel of Windows 8 either. Instead, users need to think of MinWin as the bottom most part of both Windows 7 and Windows 8. The core. 

MinWin is the result of intensive Microsoft efforts to create the smallest, standalone, bootable, core of Windows, that’s still usable. There were no dependencies outside of MinWin in Windows 7, and I expect this to also be the case in Windows 8. 

I also think that the Redmond company continued its work to relocate application programming interfaces (APIs) inside the Windows 8 core, in order to have the next generation of MinWin completely isolated from the rest of the operating system. 

At the same time, I think that Microsoft managed to lower the overall size of MinWin in Windows 8, compared to Windows 7 (it was approximately 40 MB, with work being done to get it down to 30 MB, or even as low as 25 MB on disk). 

But despite its very small size, Windows 8 MinWin still packs everything it needs to boot and run independently, such as the Windows NT kernel plus the executive subsystem, the memory manager, networking, file system drivers, etc. 

Since Windows 8 is an operating system designed to go beyond traditional computers, and tailored to next generation form factors, I expect Windows 8 MinWin to play a larger role, especially on devices that feature limited hardware resources. 

It also seems that Windows 8 MinWin will have a role to play in client virtualization, especially in connection to the next version of Hyper-V. Apparently, Microsoft has worked to accommodate scenarios in which Windows 8 MinWin plus Hyper-V vNext will be used much in the same manner as Windows Server Core.
