Windows 8 might now allow you to boot directly to the desktop

People who do not really like Windows 8's Metro interface will not have a nice day anymore. It seems that Microsoft will not have an ability to go directly to the desktop after booting, and instead you might have to go though the "Windows 8 Style UI" interface.

A New Anti -Virus Using Linux to Wipe Off Windows Malware is Raising Thousands of Dollars on Kickstarter

On KickStarter is a new project aimed at helping with the removal of viruses. This new project is called JumpShot. With this software, you can remove viruses while they are inactive and just sitting on the hard disk/solid state drive/(insert storage medium here).


One of the main reasons why this project is getting so much love is that it secretly uses Linux as the backend. It actually uses a specialized version of the Linux kernel.


Jumpshot is currently on Kickstarter, as stated before. While initial goal was $25k, it has raised over $75k and 49 days are still left in campaign.
