Will Vista Kill The Market For 3rd-Party Security Applications?
I was doing some desk research into the online security market today as I have a brainstorming workshop all day tomorrow at work to see if there are any areas that the company I’m working for at the moment can seize upon.
I came across a story on CNET stating that the public beta of Symantec’s [...]
Microsoft Ashamed Of Windows?
Surprisingly, I seem to be the only site that covered Microsoft Windows 21st birthday yesterday. I guess it came at a big week for Microsoft, what with all the Playstation 3 craziness and the launch of the cute little Nintendo Wii.
Maybe their PR team is maxed out preparing for Vista’s launch. But, I still would [...]
Microsoft Windows Comes Of Age - Happy 21st Birthday!
Believe it or not Windows is 21 years old on Monday. When it was launched in 1985 the PC market was barely out of it’s infancy, and whatever you may think of Microsoft it is amazing what they Bill Gates & Co have built in such a relatively short time.
Windows has been through many [...]
Getting Vista, Zune Or Another MP3 Player? How To Migrate From iTunes
I’ve been using an iPod for nearly 4 years, and iTunes every since it became available for Windows about 3 years ago. Don’t get me wrong, I like my iPod/iTunes combination but over the last year or so because of changes in the way I listen to music, this partnership has created a lot of [...]

My decision to install Windows Vista RC2 as my main OS last week was a very bad idea. Yes, I know I should have known better but I thought it was time to force myself to give Vista a real tryout.
The installation of Vista itself went almost without a hitch. The only problem [...]
What XP Did For Us
I toyed last night with installing Microsoft Vista RC1 or RC2 as my main operating system, given that the trial licence period would see me through until Vista is officially available to the general public. As I dithered over the decision, it made me realise how attached I’d become to Windows XP over the [...]

After moving hosts for some reason my WP-Cache2 plugin stopped caching pages and I couldn’t work out why, so I’ve spent the last couple of hours looking for alternatives as I wanted to make sure I don’t get into trouble again with my new host, even though I have a VPS now rather than a [...]

After a little bit over a year with Blogware, I’ve decided to move this blog to Wordpress. I’ve been more than happy with Blogware and I’d still recommend Blogware to anyone who wants a simple hassle-free blog, but over the last couple of months or so I’ve been getting a bit uncomfortable with the [...]

Tom’s Hardware have published a review of Windows Vista after 500 hours worth of testing. I’ve just read through the review and although Windows Vista ‘looks nice’ I’m still struggling to find any killer features that I actually need that will make me upgrade. I think the summary hits the spot for me:
