I use the past tense because this is no longer the case. Piriform, the privately owned UK software developer dedicated to creating top quality applications for Windows and Mac, updated CCleaner to address this precise situation.

Piriform got numerous complaints from CCleaner users who were not happy about getting UAC prompts. So after listening to the feedback, the company decided to add this very requested feature to its CCleaner application. By updating CCleaner to version 3.19, Piriform added a new option: Skip User Account Control warning.

Also according to him, by the end of 2012, hundreds of millions of PCs powered by Windows 7 will be sold.

At the Seoul Digital Forum held in South Korea earlier this week, Steve Ballmer predicted that Windows 8 will sell more than 500 million copies from the time it reaches General Availability (the OS is expected to hit the shelves later this year) until the end of 2013. Ballmer bases his prediction on the fact that Windows 8 is “a dawning of the rebirth of Windows” and that “Windows 8 is certainly the most important piece of work we’ve done.”

Microsoft’s Michael Stroh for example described the start screen as “pretty sweet.” And speaking about things that are pretty sweet, Windows Phone fans shared pics of cakes that present the smartphone’s start screen via Windows Phone’s Facebook page.

And that got the Windows Phone team thinking – why don’t we turn this into an opportunity to give away some stuff? So the Windows Phone team decided to run a competition that can be resumed in a just a few words: bake a cake that focuses on Windows Phone and you could win a Windows Phone.

There was a Yahoo!-optimized version of Firefox, but that doesn’t count. As of yesterday, March 23, Yahoo! can boast that it has its own web browser. That is certainly good news for all the Yahoo! users and fans out there.

On Wednesday, Yahoo! introduced Yahoo! Axis to the world, touting the fact that it redefines what it means to search and browse the web. As Yahoo! put it, what Axis does is it offers a faster, smarter search experience. As you type in a query into Yahoo! Axis, you are presented with instant answers and visual search previews. Axis basically blends together the searching and browsing experience.
