They do "claim" a lot of customers, MS being one of them, but other than the scrolling banner on their site there is nothing that suggests they have any affiliation with MS except by using their tools & tech.

I would counter-suggest they are simply piggybacking off the marketing, trying to fool end users.

That could also be the case, they are using an API to connect to the Live service so it can populate some of your info to your profile on there.

stil you have any doubt. Let me know

Hello Everyone!

We noticed many people having doubts and/or queries about the new initiative Microsoft® has taken.

Here are the answers for FAQs:

1. Windowsliveplanet.com and WLplanet.com are the SAME websites (hmm, well - WLPlanet was used as a development platform initially, before we got the domain we wanted)

2. The entire service is offered by Microsoft India; and Quadwave is a technology partner of Microsoft. We are involved in development/implementation. Please visit http://www.windowsliveplanet.com/aboutus.aspx for details.

3. Since the site uses Live.com platform, you'll see that you have to login on Live.com authentication page rather than our own! Hence, be assured that none of your information is 'stolen'.

4. Whatever user info is accumulated, it is primarily kept with Microsoft and no one else (including we as a development partners) has access to ANY of the information.

5. About the comments on the applications, thanks for the appreciation! :D

6. About Quadwave, we are a software solutions and services company - we cater to customers like Microsoft, Adobe Inc, Thomson Reuters, Sony Entertainment Television, Rediff.com, Indiatimes.com among others. (Thanks, Comic Book Guy - to point out the gaps on our websites - we were busy helping our customers all this while ;) )

Any questions are welcome!

Thanks!

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
    • you can also do this with this tool: PowerSettingsExplorer made by mbk1969 at 3dguru forum.. I found it by accident researching on modern standby and annoying quirks of it in 2022
