Vista Use is *Finally* On the Rise
Yes, Windows Vista has had its share of ups and downs, but it looks like adoption rates are finally on the rise. Good news for Microsoft. Likely bad news for tech support centers around the world. According to a new study by CDW, 48% of 772 IT employees in a decision making position are now using or evaluating Vista.

Joost: First Step to the Death of Television
Joost has been one of my favorite programs to play around with since I first got my hands on an early beta copy. A lot has changed since then. Modified user interface, advertisements, new logo, and a hell of a lot of new channels, but the core of the program remains the same. The program instantly sucks you in.

Joost Emerges from Beta
It’s About Time
After a prolonged private beta (if you can call millions of people a “private” beta), Joost has finally hit the big 1.0. It’s been a long time coming, but the first public version of the hot P2PTV program from the Skype [review] team looks better than ever and seems more responsive too. […]

Vista Users Can Easily Downgrade to XP
Even Microsoft Doesn’t Have Faith in Vista.
Microsoft quietly announced that they would be allowing computer vendors to give their business customers the option of downgrading to Windows XP instead of Windows Vista. The move came after many companies, including giants like Hewlett-Packard, Dell, and Lenovo, decided to keep offering XP to their customers. […]
