                                           Windows 8 is the codename for the next version of the Microsoft Windows computer operating system following Windows 7.[3] It has many changes from previous versions. In particular it adds support for ARM microprocessors in addition to the previously supported x86 microprocessors from Intel and AMD. A new Start Screen interface has been added that was designed for touchscreen input in addition to mouse, keyboard, and pen input. It is said to be released sometime around 2012[citation needed]. Microsoft has yet to announce the release date.

ilestone leaks

A 32-bit Milestone 1 build, build 7850, with a build date of September 22, 2010, was leaked to BetaArchive, an online beta community, which was soon leaked to P2P/torrent sharing networks on April 12, 2011.[6] Milestone 1 includes a ribbon interface for Windows Explorer,[7] a PDF reader called Modern Reader, an updated task manager called Modern Task Manager,[8] and native ISO image mounting.[9]
A 32-bit Milestone 2 build, build 7927, was leaked to The Pirate Bay on August 29, 2011[10] right after many pictures leaked on BetaArchive the day before.[11] Features of this build are mostly the same as build 7955.[12]
A 32-bit Milestone 2 build, build 7955, was leaked to BetaArchive on April 25, 2011.[13] Features of this build included a new pattern login and a new file system known as Protogon.[14]
A 64-bit Milestone 3 build, build 7959, was leaked to BetaArchive on May 1, 2011.[15] This build is notable for being the first publicly leaked Windows Server 8 build, as well as the first leaked 64-bit build.
A Milestone 3 build, build 7971, was released to close partners of Microsoft on March 29, 2011[16] but was kept under heavy security. However, a few screenshots were leaked. The "Windows 7 Basic" theme now uses similar metrics to the Aero style, but maintains its non-hardware accelerated design, and also supports taskbar thumbnails. The boxes that encase the "close, maximize, and minimize" buttons have been removed, leaving just the signs.[17]
A 64-bit Milestone 3 build, build 7989, leaked to BetaArchive on June 18, 2011 after screenshots were revealed the previous day. An SMS feature, a new virtual keyboard, a new bootscreen, transparency in the basic theme, geo-location services, Hyper-V 3.0, and PowerShell 3.0 were revealed in this build.[18]

Official announcements

At the Microsoft Developer Forum in Tokyo on May 23, 2011, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer announced that the next version of Windows would be released the following year.[19]
"And yet, as we look forward to the next generation of Windows systems, which will come out next year, there's a whole lot more coming. As we progress through the year, you ought to expect to hear a lot about Windows 8. Windows 8 slates, tablets, PCs, a variety of different form factors."[19]
However, Microsoft quickly amended Ballmer's words in a statement issued that afternoon:
"It appears there was a misstatement. We are eagerly awaiting the next generation of Windows 7 hardware that will be available in the coming fiscal year. To date, we have yet to formally announce any timing or naming for the next version of Windows."[20]
On June 1, 2011, Microsoft officially unveiled Windows 8 and some of its new features at the Taipei Computex 2011 in Taipei (Taiwan) by Mike Angiulo and at the D9 conference in California (United States) by Julie Larson-Green and Microsoft's Windows President Steven Sinofsky.[21][22] The main feature that was shown was the new user interface.
On August 15, 2011, Microsoft opened a new blog called "Building Windows 8" for users and developers.[23]

Merry Christmas Virus

Merry Christmas Virus

The Merry Christmas virus is an email worm that started to emerge before Christmas of 2004. The worm spread via electronic mail as a small, executable file with a variety of names and extensions. The worm propagated by copying itself onto local and networked drives, as well as emailing itself as an attachment to any addresses it could harvest from the address book and files stored on the infected machine.
When executed, an infected file copies itself into the Windows system directory and registry disguised with the name “NortonUpdate.exe.” The registry entry ensures that a copy of the worm is launched each time the infected machine is booted. It also creates files in the system directory that are used to store the email addresses harvested from the Windows address book, text documents, web pages, emails and mailboxes stored on the machine.

Infected email messages are sent in a variety of languages depending on the geographical location of the recipient’s domain name. The messages arrive with the subject “Merry Christmas!” and body “Happy Holidays!” in the corresponding language. The attachment has the name “postcard” in the particular language, followed by a long string of random characters that obscure an executable extension.
The seemingly harmless text lures victims into downloading the attached file that is disguised as a holiday postcard.
Besides replicating furiously, the worm also opens a backdoor on infected systems that provides unauthorized remote access by malicious parties. This allows attackers full access to any stored personal information, along with the ability to download and launch files remotely on a victim’s machine. Furthermore, the worm bypasses installed security measures such as firewall or antivirus programs by overwriting their application files with an infected executable. Thus, while an email message may appear harmless, even one execution of an infected attachment can cause significant damage that is difficult to reverse.
