Digital Video Express, DivX owned by Jerome Vashist-Rota and Microsoft share a relationship of different shades. Presently VP creative and founder, brand and community DivX, Rota stated, “Currently, Microsoft does support DivX, which is fantastic, but the company has brought in some third-party support for the Xbox 360, and we are not very happy with that.”
This statement was given by Rota while giving an over view of his new high definition of DivX codec; DivX7. The new DivX7 technology enables that it can encode you HD files.

Windows Vista SP2 (limited beta) is going to be released on Wednesday 29 October. Is it expected to bring any surprise?
We have seen that Vista’s much awaited SP1 was just a combination of the automatic upgrades that were available for the OS and now it seems that SP2 may also bring something similar.
However, what comes next? It will be more apparent on Wednesday, as the beta version is handed to some of Technology Adoption Program customers on Wednesday.
Mike Nash says on the Windows Vista official blog, “There are some previously released fixes and it focuses on addressing specific reliability, compatibility and performance issues.”
“It is expected that Windows Vista SP2 will retain compatibility with applications that go on Windows Vista and Windows Vista SP1.”

Microsoft recently announced that they plan to cut the price on several retail versions of their newest operating system, Windows Vista. As you can imagine, this is a move that comes to a shock to many. In fact, this move is one that nobody saw coming; even though Vista has been struggling to keep up, and it has taken a lot of flack from first time users.
In the United States, Microsoft has decided to greatly reduce the price of the high end version known as Vista Ultimate. The price of Vista Ultimate has fallen to $219 from a previous retail price of $299. Additionally, prices for the popular Home Premium addition are also being reduced from $159 to $129.

Microsoft has been fined $1.35 billion by the European Union for failing to comply with sanctions. Believe it or not, this is a record fine, and one that the European Union and Microsoft are taking seriously. After all, anytime that a company is fined in excess of one billion dollars it is sure to be big news.
Although this news is moving into the public eye once again, it stems from a 2004 ruling. Generally speaking, Microsoft is being fined because they neglected to share information with its competition on how to interoperate with its many software applications.

As of late, the biggest news in the tech and internet industries is the possible takeover of Yahoo by Microsoft. While it is obvious that Microsoft is all for this deal, it is safe to say that Yahoo is trying to avoid it at all costs. Not only did they turn down Microsoft’s first offer, but company officials have not led on that they are thinking of changing their mind.
While both companies are sure to be effected if this deal goes down, there are two other groups that are sure to see some changes as well. They include those who own stock in either company, as well as those who use Yahoo and/or Microsoft web based services. With that being said, are you for or against a Microsoft takeover?
It seems that there is a split decision on this matter. If you own Yahoo stock, you are well aware that it has been under performing as of late. Many feel that a takeover by Microsoft will help to steady the ship, and in turn increase the overall performance of the stock. Is this a guarantee? Of course not. But it is definitely something that could happen if a deal takes place.

Although Yahoo rejected Microsoft’s first bid, this battle is far from being over. Believe it or not, Microsoft is going to continue to push for a deal within the next few days. At this time, it appears that Microsoft is taking all of the appropriate steps to start a proxy battle with Yahoo.
Many people are not aware of what it means to wage a proxy battle. Simplifying this process is no easy task, but there are some details that can be seen on the surface. It is Microsoft’s hopes that after putting together a list of directors to take over Yahoo’s board, that the majority of stockholders would support this effort. If this happens, Microsoft will be able to more or less bully Yahoo into making the transaction.
If Microsoft moves forward with its proxy battle, it is sure to spend a lot of money during the process. Industry experts are predicting that Microsoft would have to spend approximately $20 to $30 million to complete the process. As you can imagine, they would much rather have Yahoo agree to a friendlier takeover. Not only would this save them money, but it would save them a lot of time as well.
