Does Windows Vista have more than just a pretty face?

I’ve written a bit about Windows Vista on this blog previously but generally left the product reviews to people like Paul Thurrott (who has both the time to do a review justice and the readership to make it worthwhile). Yesterday, I saw yet another Windows Vista presentation and (with my corporate mindset) I’m still struggling [...]

Looking forward to the 2007 Microsoft Office System

I think I’ve been attending too many Microsoft events recently. Not only do the presenters know me personally, but I’m not hearing much that’s new.

Forum evangelism

This example forum post history was stolen from James O’Neill. Given the comments I get whenever I write about Macs (like the prospect buying a Mac and installing an operating system that’s not OS X on it), it seemed kind of relevant:
A: I’m thinking of getting a new computer.
B: I’ve got a Mac, you should [...]
