Windows 7 to be used on China government PCs instead of Windows 8

Perhaps security issue with Windows 8 is one of the reasons that it is banned from being used on government computers in China. The response from Microsoft came in after the announcement that the computers can be using Windows 7 instead. Of course, we don't know when will Microsoft fix those security issues for Windows 8 and 8.1 for god-damn real and especially that even the Windows Phone 8 series and Xbox One should have those similar patches as well. Not to mention the embedded edition of Windows 8 which I assume that the similar security issues are still there.

Internet Explorer 11 Update

As part of the BUILD conference event, Microsoft is planning out Windows Phone 8.1, Internet Explorer 11 for Windows Phone 8.1 and the update to IE11 for existing multiple platforms. There will be similar features to Windows 8 for Windows Phone 8.1 such as the ability to pin websites to Start Screen, read better in Reading Mode as well as High Savings Mode which reduces the image quality and cuts data down by 60% to 80%.
The update of this web browser can detect the size of the webpage automatically but it seems that most of the websites do this on the web browsers on the computers. What about the ones for the tablet and mobile phones then? There's also the Enterprise Mode which is the Compatiblity Mode for displaying the pages in IE8 mode, just for the sake of compatibility and enterprises.

China wants Microsoft to extend the Windows XP Support

Can't you even see that Windows XP is getting DAMN old that we've had enough of using it? It was interesting looking back then in the early 2000s but when the newer operating systems were likely to come out, it might look like I couldn't wait to try them. Nowadays, we're using the recent Windows OSes like Windows 7, Windows 8, Windows 8.1, etc. And if that's the case that Windows XP's extended support will be ending next year in April, the other editions of Windows XP may have different support ending dates such as the fact that Windows XP Embedded is living even longer than the usual Windows XP editions.
OK, it seems that Windows XP is still the most used operating system in China with Windows 7 being the second most used OS. It was a brave move for Microsoft when it comes to Windows 7 due to having done it right after the performance disaster caused by Windows Vista. Lastly, if the extended support of Windows XP is likely to end next year April, then what about Windows Virtual PC for Windows 7, then? At this rate, it will look like we're using other virtualization software like VMWare, VirtualBox, Parallels Workstation, etc. but if you do have Windows 8, you can use Hyper-V.
So, having to end support like that for Windows XP can spell security disaster for China and cause even more piracy to happen. And that's what happens when Windows XP is made way too popular until today.

Bitlocker the technical betrayal?

Articles about the NSA and FBI stuffs are everywhere in the globe and wiping them out is one of the stupid orders/plans like what someone already issued in wiping out hard disks containing leaked documents of the evil spying motives at The Guardian. According to some article I discovered, it seemed that there was some backdoor implemented inside BitLocker so that this evil spying can continue ever since the Windows Vista days.

Also, there is some progress going on from EFF, Fight for the Future, IDL, etc. that more stuffs are coming in on what those evil spying agencies have been up to. The targets range from computers, tablets, smartphones and even your private stuffs in US powered technology brands. However, to be frank, I have been SICK AND TIRED of talking and blogging about these as there’s no FUCKING END to this saga. If THIS is the BULLSHIT they’ve been continuing against the civilians, then there may be no point using technologies affected by that.
