Mini Digest – #1 Seagate & Microsoft

This series will be more in detail focus on 2 or more items vs how RSS Digest covers many items only in headline form. In this episode I will cover:  Microsoft releases Vista virtualization &  Seagate isolates ‘potential’ Barracuda flaw. Both of these articles are posted on The Register.

Microsoft releases Vista virtualization

By Gavin Clarke in San Francisco

Microsoft has released a public beta of desktop virtualization software to run legacy Windows applications on Windows Vista.

Microsoft Enterprise Desktop Virtualization (MED-V) will let you run Windows XP and Windows 2000 applications on Windows Vista without the need for testing or migration, the company said.

MED-V creates a virtual PC of the legacy version of Windows you want inside Windows Vista. The completed MED-V is due in the second quarter.

Seagate isolates ‘potential’ Barracuda flaw

By Chris Mellor

After reports that its 1TB Barracuda drives are failing at an unusually high rate, Seagate says it has isolated a “potential firmware issue” that would seem to be the cause of this worldwide plague.

The company will provide a free firmware upgrade for those affected by the problem, and if you’ve lost data thanks to this firmware issue, it will provide free data recover services as well.

In a statement, Seagate says the firmware problem affects “some” Barracuda 7200.11 hard drives and “related drive families based on this product platform.” And it explains that “In some circumstances, the data on the hard drives may become inaccessible to the user when the host system is powered on.”
