This guide summarizes the key developer advances in each of the following three areas:
Solid Foundation
Great user experiences start with a solid foundation. Windows 7 delivers a solid development platform and innovative tools that give you more options, increased application compatibility, better performance, and sophisticated document support. This results in a simple, more reliable environment for your applications and a familiar, intuitive one for your users.
We’ve kept the user interface consistent, predictable and easy to use, while adding multi-touch support, scrolling, and other intuitive interaction features that take advantage of the latest PC and mobile device capabilities. With Windows 7, developers have the power to build the right user experiences for their applications.
Richer Application Experiences
Windows 7 enables developers to build applications today that will run on the PCs of tomorrow. Service-enabled software and devices, such as mobile phones, portable media players, and digital cameras, demand constant connectivity and advanced applications. Windows 7 delivers a platform for both, making it easy for developers to take advantage of the functionality and features of next generation hardware, while ensuring that users are always on, and always connected.

- Test-Driven Development and Continuous Integration for Mobile Applications
A few mobile testing tools allow recording user interactions via a graphical representation of the client device but do not provide granular control over the tests. Other tools either demand scripting on a mobile device or expect tests to be executed, manually, on the device. As a result, mobile application testing is inefficient and complex, hindering productivity.

In advance of the holiday season, three Net giants aim to stem fraudulent e-mails.
Just in time for the holiday shopping season, Yahoo Mail users may be able to expect fewer fraudulent e-mails purporting to be from eBay and PayPal. That is, if things go according to plans announced today by the three companies.
Yahoo, eBay and eBay subsidiary PayPal said they would use DomainKeys’ e-mail authentication technology to block phishing messages from malicious domains. Yahoo said the technology upgrade would be rolled out globally over the several weeks to all Yahoo Mail users, enabling the e-mail provider to verify the domain from which an e-mail claims to be sent.
“Yahoo! Mail is now blocking unauthenticated messages purporting to be from eBay and PayPal based on the DomainKeys signatures, and we are able to do so because eBay and PayPal are now confident that they are signing 100 percent of their legitimate outbound mail,” Mark Risher, Yahoo! Mail group product manager, told InternetNews.com.
“We think this will move the needle in terms of consumer protection and that eBay and PayPal customers worldwide using Yahoo! Mail will now have a safer e-mail experience because of it,” he added. “They will begin receiving fewer fake e-mails claiming to be sent by eBay and PayPal, increasing their trust in the messages they do receive.”
If the plan to weed out fake e-mails works, it may spell some relief for users long suffering from the threat of phishing. As long ago as January 2006, research firm Netcraft identified eBay and PayPal as top phishing targets, representing 62 percent of all phishing attacks in 2005.
Nevertheless, the effort may seem to have been slow in coming. The DomainKeys Identified Mail (DKIM) authentication standard that Yahoo, eBay and PayPal today agreed to adopt evidently had been ready for use for more than a year. In August 2006, the Mutual Internet Practices Association (MIPA), which developed the DKIM technical specifications, announced it had completed most of its work.
At the time, MIPA officials told InternetNews.com that the spec was stable and “just about done.”
However, it wasn’t until May that the specification — which Yahoo representatives helped draft along with AOL, Cisco, Microsoft and others — reached the final stages of being accepted by the IETF, the organization responsible for hammering out many of the Internet’s standards.
Despite the elapsed time, today’s news still could benefit Yahoo as it competes with rivals like Google, which did not participate in today’s announcement. Google could not be reached for comment.
“Yahoo! Mail is the first Web mail service to block these types of malicious messages for eBay and PayPal through the use of DomainKeys e-mail authentication technology,” Risher said. “We also hope this news will help to build momentum for continued industry adoption.” Yahoo last dealt with phishing in June when security researcher Aditya K Sood posted a security advisory on a public mailing list warning that, “a severe redirection and phishing vulnerability [has] been found in Yahoo Network.”
Sood said at the time that the vulnerability could have allowed some URLs on Yahoo’s pages to be manipulated to redirect traffic for malicious purposes. Yahoo acknowledged the issue and quickly moved to close down the threat.

Online marketing now offers so many cost-effective options that it’s hard to know where to focus. Plus, recent studies estimate that a staggering 6 million documents are posted to the Web every day.
You can’t simply launch a site and sit back. You must take action to get noticed.
So here’s a cheat sheet: five smart, affordable ways to bolster your online profile and attract customers to your Web site.
- Make it easier to find your site. All the buzz about search-engine marketing is because most people head for a major search engine when researching or purchasing goods and services. Since searchers rarely click below the first few listings, getting your company or product ranked high on results pages can help generate traffic.
Much of search-engine marketing is complex and time-consuming. But there are three fast ways to improve the odds of prominent placement.
- The right keywords. Top rankings come from having content on your site that matches the keywords or (better yet) specific phrases customers use to search for what you sell. The closer or more relevant the match, the higher the engines will rank you.
You can identify those keywords or phrases by brainstorming with customers, friends and associates to learn the search words they use. You also want to find out keywords your competitors use. Check keywords every month or so to refine the process.
- Affiliate links. Search engines like to “see” lots of links from your site and to your site, because that translates into a well-trafficked site, which leads to higher rankings. To find effective links, search for the phrases or keywords associated with the product or service you offer. In your search results, skip competitors, and choose marketers that support what you do. For instance, a kitchenware company might link to a table linens shop. Then send an e-mail or call to ask about exchanging links.
- Vertical search engines. Besides the broad horizontal engines, harness the targeted power of engines specific to your industry. You can find these by a search or by checking with professional groups. Also, see the Microsoft Live Search Macros to customize what you need.
An inexpensive way to boost your search-engine marketing is to sign up for a search-engine advertising service such as Microsoft Office Live adManager or Website Pros. See details here. Also, check out the adManager demo.
- The right keywords. Top rankings come from having content on your site that matches the keywords or (better yet) specific phrases customers use to search for what you sell. The closer or more relevant the match, the higher the engines will rank you.
- Reward customer error. Countless numbers of potential customers input a wrong address or misspell the name of the company when searching. Make sure they end up on your site anyway.
First, buy all the domain names you can. If your primary domain is Widget.com, also register Widget.biz, Widget.net, and Widget.org. That way, you not only attract misguided searchers, but you discourage competitors from registering a version of your name and siphoning your customers.
In addition, register common misspellings. So if someone types Wigdet.com, your site will still come up.
- Offer e-learning. The technology to create online courses or solo webcasts is now relatively inexpensive. By investing in producing online courses, you can reach out to remote and large groups of prospects on an ongoing basis.
One California tax accountant discovered she could create and deliver an online professional training course for less than $50 a month for an unlimited audience. Eventually, her course became so lucrative that she sold her tax practice and focused on conducting online courses.
You need to keep your skills and knowledge up-to-speed to make this work. Also think about courses that will fuel interest and sales. A lawyer, for instance, might offer an e-course on drafting a will.
Easy-to-use online software, such as Microsoft Office Live Meeting, can get you started.
- Use offline ads to trigger a search. Offline and online marketing is increasingly blurred. You see a roadside billboard, a trade journal ad, a URL on a coffee mug and, bam! Next thing you know, you’ve pulled up the browser.
A recent analysis by the Retail Advertising and Marketing Association found that consumers “take cues from traditional advertising to determine when and where to search.” That includes magazine and newspaper ads, store and direct-mail coupons and feature articles (send out those press releases to media contacts!).
- Get friendly with Web 2.0. The rise of online social networking has been fast and furious. Such real-time and peer-to-peer outlets, such as Facebook, LinkedIn, and MySpace, and the ballooning blogosphere directly reach thousands of customers for mere pennies. You can use these outlets to start online conversations, post editorials or product data, and to announce news or products that build your reputation and expertise.
You can also launch your own blog to attract customers to return. Remember that blogs demand time and effort to stay timely. To start a blog, check the tips offered by the National Federation of Independent Business trade group (www.nfib.org).
Most of all: Think content, content, content. Good descriptions of your services and compelling calls to action on your Web pages will make customers care and return.

To keep up with the latest forms of spyware, you must keep your antispyware updated.
- Software that displays pop-up advertising on your computer, collects and relays your personal information, or changes the configuration of your computer, without appropriately obtaining your consent first, is called spyware.
- Many kinds of unwanted software, including spyware, are designed to be difficult to remove. If you try to uninstall this software like any other program, you might find that the program reappears as soon as you restart your computer.
- Windows Defender is designed to protect you against spyware. It features a monitoring system that recommends actions against spyware when it’s detected and minimizes interruptions.
If you use Windows XP, you can download Windows Defender for free. Windows Defender comes with Windows Vista. If you use Windows Vista, do not download Windows Defender. For more information, see Windows Vista: Windows Defender.

Action
You attempt to start a digitally signed .NET Windows application or Windows service.
Result
The application starts very slowly. Digitally signed Windows services may time out during startup, with the Service Control Manager returning error “Error 1053: The service did not respond to the start or control request in a timely fashion.”
Cause
This occurs because the application needs to download the Certificate Revocation List (CRL) for authentication purposes, and a lack of network connectivity causes the download to fail by timing out. A firewall can potentially block the download and when Windows first starts up, the network connection is not initialized yet.
Resolution
- One way is to cache the certificates locally, but it will expire within 15 days.
- Another method is to minimize the default network timeout setting. To change the default timeout please follow the “More Information” section in the following Microsoft Knowledgebase article:
841632 You receive the “403.13 client certificate revoked” error message after you install the MS04-11 security update http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;841632
- For a Windows service, you can increase the default timeout setting to allow the service to start by following these steps:
- In Registry Editor, locate, and then right-click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control
- Point to New, and then click DWORD Value. In the right pane of Registry Editor, notice that New Value #1 (the name of a new registry entry) is selected for editing.
- Type ServicesPipeTimeout to replace New Value #1, and then press ENTER.
- Right-click the ServicesPipeTimeout registry entry that you created in step c, and then click Modify. The Edit DWORD Value dialog box appears.
- In the Value data text box, enter the desired timeout value in milliseconds and click OK. For example, if the new service timeout should be 60 seconds (60000 milliseconds), then enter 60000.
- Restart the computer. You must restart the computer for Service Control Manager to apply this change.
- In Registry Editor, locate, and then right-click the following registry subkey:

Step-by-Step Guide for Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS).
Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS) is a Microsoft service that enables organizations to take advantage of user single sign-on (SSO) technologies to authenticate a user to multiple, related Web applications over the life of a single online session. ADFS accomplishes this by securely sharing digital identity and entitlement rights, or “claims,” across security and enterprise boundaries.
ADFS includes the following features:
- Web SSO.
- WS interoperability.
- Passive and smart client support.
- Extensible architecture.
This guide walks you through setup of a claims-aware application and a Windows NT token-based application (either Microsoft® Windows® SharePoint® Services or Microsoft® Office SharePoint® Portal Server 2003) on an ADFS-enabled Web server.
