How to submit Website / Blog to Bing Webmaster Tools

Friday, June 5th, 2009

This is my first post on Bing (Microsoft's Search Engine). There are hundreds and thousands of bloggers blogging about Bing Search Engine.

I want to share a tip on how to get your Website or Blog indexed by Bing Search Engine.

Bing also offers a facility like Google Webmasters tools where you can "submit the your site URL to Bing" so that their search engine can do indexing of your web pages whenever they are published. This way your site can be included in the Bing and get some traffic.

With this Bing Webmaster Tools, you can submit site, also troubleshoot the crawling and indexing of your site (if problems are there), submit sitemaps and view statistics about your sites.

Download Windows Vista and Server 2008 Service Pack 2

Thursday, May 28th, 2009

Download Microsoft Vista Service Pack 2Yesterday, I got a Windows Update Notification on the system tray. Upon checking, i found that it is an update for Windows Vista Service Pack 2. I immediately started to download it.

Microsoft has released Windows Vista Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2008 Service Pack 2. This service pack will add more stability, more security and will contain bug fixes.

It took around 1-2 hours to download. After that, it took 10-15 minutes to get installed.

Windows Vista Service Pack 2 Installation has 3 stages. After completion of two stages, the computer restarted and the third stage was completed upon booting up.

If you have Windows Vista or Server 2008 running on your PC or Laptop, I recommend you to run Windows Update and install Service Pack 2.

Click the below link to get the whole change log for Windows Vista Service Pack 2 and Windows Server 2008:

Microsoft stops Main Stream Support for Windows XP & Office 2003

Wednesday, April 15th, 2009

I have got an important news for all Windows XP and Office 2003 users. It is not a good news who love Windows XP. I am also in that list.

On April 14, 2009, Microsoft has stopped mainstream support for Windows XP and Office 2003. Now both the products are moved to Extended support phase, which will last for the next five years.

These products will continue to be supported until 2014. I guess they will stop fixing the bugs and thereby less Microsoft updates for these two products. They will give emergency updates to fix the security holes to avoid security breach or virus attacks.

This applies to the following Windows XP editions:

  • Windows XP Home
  • Windows XP Pro 32-bit and 64-bit
  • Windows XP Media Center Edition
  • Windows XP Tablet PC Edition

For me personally, this is a bad news. I am still using Windows XP.

What is Windows Service

A Windows service is like any other program in start up folder which starts when Windows is booted and runs in the background as long as PC is restarted/shutdown. Each service in windows handles some work. For ex: Spooler service is used to handle print jobs. But, what if you don't have a printer? It is better to disable that service.Windows XP

I always wanted my PC to be fast and responsive. Due to this, I started finding out some of the services that are running and which are not needed. If you also want to disable unwanted services in Windows XP to improve the performance then continue reading...

To start/stop or enable/disable the services.
