主流支援服务停止後，虽然微软仍会提供重大安全更新，但有特殊作业系统支援需求的企业需要付费购买支援服务。
至今仍有许多企业采用的Windows XP Pro作业系统主流技术支援即将在下週二（4/14）到期，进入延伸支援阶段；同样变更支援服务的还有Office 2003。
依微软的产品支援政策，产品在上市後五年内为主流技术支援阶段（mainstream support phase），用户可以依需要选择不同的技术方案，并享有微软提供的免费安全更新。五年後进入为期2年的延伸阶段（extended support phase），谨提供服务支援给签约的客户及付费修正程式支援。
不过2007年微软宣佈延长Windows XP的延伸支援至5年，因此今年4/14 Windows XP主流支援服务到期後，将进入5年的延伸支援阶段，也就是说Windows XP的延伸支援将到2014年截止。
为向企业用户说明，微软从去年起便与企业沟通主流服务与延伸服务间的差异，并已在网站上公告讯息，4/14日後，除了重大安全更新继续提供外，将不再针对企业特殊Windows XP需求提供支援，有需要的企业需另外付费购买服务。
Today, I was working in the morning shift. When about to work, we all received an email from my manager, reg: meeting after work at 7pm and contents is about pay cuts….. The first thing come a cross my mind “how come you make announced on 1st April”. It’s really big gift for us.
As minutes ticked away, it times to face the world. The meeting is conducted by my manager and at first he explaining the fact could get this thing happens. But this is not our concern; our concern is:-
• How many percent pay cuts?
• Pay cuts last for how long?
Sad to announce that, our pay cuts will take effect on 1 June, range between 2.5 – 5% of basic salary. And the increment “No Hope”. I think whole EDS employees would be demotivated, even I heard that some of the staff already resign.
Less than 2 weeks time from now, the world’s skies will darken as millions of people across the planet switch off their lights for one hour, sending a signal to global leaders that they must take urgent action to tackle climate change.
Between 8.30-9.30pm local time, on Saturday 28th March 2009, people, businesses, cities and communities around the world will take part in WWF’s Earth Hour, an event that looks set to be the biggest mass global action on climate change ever.
The campaign, which hopes to reach out to more than one billion people in 1000 cities around the world, encourage individuals, businesses and governments to switch off lights for just one hour to convey their support for action on climate change. Cities already committed to Earth Hour include Los Angeles, Las Vegas, London, Hong Kong, Sydney, Rome, Manila, Oslo, Cape Town, Warsaw, Lisbon, Singapore, Istanbul, Mexico City, Toronto, Dubai and Copenhagen.
I wondering how it looks like, when KLCC Twin Towers or whole KL turn off lights for an hour on 28th March 2009....I'm looking forward!!
Today, I went to the paintball games at Putrajaya. We have incentive reward (RM500) for three (Dec-Feb) consecutive months no MC. It was really exciting, fun and good experience for this game. We reached there about 11.30 am and sky start dark. Every one of us can’t wait any more, after the briefing finish. The field is establishing by a lot of barrels. We spirit into two groups, hitting opponents and get opponent’s flag at endpoint.
Probably inexperience, right after the game started I took up a position behind a barrel and waited. After just a minute I heard some loud sound shooting in front of the barrels. I footsteps a little ways ahead of me. Not knowing exactly what to expect, I was surprised to see one opponent come directly into my line of sight. I aimed my gun and pulled off shots at a range of about 30 feet. The second shot was pulled off 5-10 shots and hitting someone in 5 minutes (I guess). Start rain, we have to move fast before get heavy; at the end one of my team member took the flag & won the first game. We have to on & off due to heavy rain, and game ended at 3.15 pm.
Believe me it pain, when you get shot in near/short distance. I got two big marks and swollen in arm. “NO PAIN, NO GAME”.
HP has announced that it plans to cut employee salaries. Over 300,000 employees across the world will all have to take pay cuts.
HP CEO Mark Hurd's will be cut 20 percent. While executive council members base pay, which will be reduced by 15 percent, 10 percent for other executives, 5 percent for exempt employees and 2.5 percent for non-exempt employees.
EDS, an HP Company employee this is terrible news?

二十年前，当美国最大的网路DVD出租公司 Netflix 创办人哈斯汀(Reed Hastings)，还是年轻小夥子的时候，曾经在一家三十人左右的新创软体公司上班。他当时非常卖力工作，常常彻夜加班写程式。对他来说，夜深人静特别 有生产力，而且没有人打扰。往往第二天早上，其他同事来上班时，会发现他已经把某个软体功能搞定了。
当时，他几乎靠咖啡提神度日，常常喝过的咖啡杯随手一放，一段时间後，咖啡杯就堆满了整张电脑桌。堆得越满，他就越懒得清洗。幸好，每隔一段时间，他早上踏进办公室时，就会发现所有的杯子洗得干干净净地，在他的桌上闪闪发亮。「清洁人员终於受不了了。」他想。
一年後的某天早上，他提早来上班，在开车进入停车场时，发现CEO的车子也在。这位CEO是从一家大型公司出来的高阶主管。显然，天还没亮他就来了。
走进办公室的走廊，哈斯汀经过茶水间，一眼瞥见水槽旁站著一个人。他没穿外套、袖子捲得高高的，正在刷洗一大堆充满污渍的咖啡杯。那是他的CEO。这时，哈斯汀忽然闪过一个念头：那该不会是我的杯子吧？
然後他才知道，很可能过去这一年来，都是他的CEO，而不是清洁人员，偷偷地为他洗了这些杯子。一阵尴尬、愧疚、羞耻的感觉浮上来。
「你为什么要帮我洗杯子？」他结结巴巴地说。
「喔，你工作这么卖力，为我们做了这么多事情，」CEO回答，「这是我所能想到我唯一能为你做的事。」
哈斯汀太震撼了。他学到了一课：一位领导人令人出乎意外的谦卑，可以为员工创造非常大的尊敬。接下来的一年，哈斯汀比之前更卖力工作。「如果可能，我可以为他穿越任何一道墙。」他说。
哈斯汀最近在财星杂誌(Fortune)网站上，分享了领导的这一课。
