Google have helped Yahoo to get even more for its shares if it wants sell. Yahoo and Google are going to work closely on a deal to let Google show ads on Yahoo and sometimes soon the other way around. Yahoo can get out of the deal by paying 250 million dollar and some change. This leaves the door open still for Microsoft to buy Yahoo. Microsoft has tried to by the rival search engine a few times now but Yahoo share holder wanted more and Microsoft got cold feet.
When the deal did not go trough Yahoo waited two days and then went to make a deal with Google instead. Who is the slut now?

Finally the last (or they say) update for XP, XP SP3 is here without any bugs. It was stopped last month because of a bug in Microsoft Dynamics Retail Management System.

The download is available on the Microsoft download page or so they say. Many customers have complained that the network is down or showing a 404 page.

Our guess is that many Microsoft users are downloading the 316.4 MB big file and that is creating the problem. If you do not want the update just now just wait a week and you will be fine. Do not risk getting stuck with half a download and you know they will update it in 1 week again.

Microsoft has stopped the last big update (that’s what they said) for Windows XP. Apparently the new mega update has some security program already and they need to be corrected first.

Service Pack 3 will make it easier to connect with Windows Vista and have a secure update for connect to WIFI. It will also make network faster and more secure.

There is no word out right now when the Service Pack 3 for XP will be released just that for now it’s on hold.

Customers that already upgraded from beta versions or other ways are asked to contact customer service and if you upgraded a pirate version well contact your nearest torrent.

Now it is official that there will be a sequel to Gears Of War known as Gears Of War 2. The game will be released by Microsoft for Xbox 360 in November this year. There are however not much to tell about this game yet. The original game was a great success when it was released in 2006, and it has sold 4,5 million samples around the globe. Gears of War 1 were also released for PC in 2007. In the first game we followed the earlier prisoner Marcus Fenix on dramatic assignments against the evil alien race known as The Locust. The graphic was amazing and the battles were huge. Let’s just hope the next game will be just as good or even better.

It looks like Google is launching a Google Doc offline version. Some people have been seeing a screen shot of the live offline version. This should be a big step forward to take on Google’s rival Microsoft.

There is as usual no official word from Google because they like to sneak out secrets and make a hype of them and then make a private invite for a year. After they let everybody wait people are like kids on Christmas for the new application.

Don’t expect to see the new offline version yet it is still in a beta testing mood but at least it’s on its way. Even if it is not good it will make Microsoft lower its price for Word
