Vista tip for end user
By Jane H
If you have recently bought a new computer, chances are pretty good that it has Windows Vista installed. The new look may confuse you, but there are some neat features. And if you miss the old features, there are ways to find them. For example when you click on the computer icon to view/find your resources, you’ll find that things have changed from the old Windows Explorer (My computer) layout. The folder tree is now the Navigation pane which provides access to commonly used folders and the Folders list (click image for larger view).

Windows 7 – Now a mid-2009 launch ?
By Gerry V
Recently Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer acknowledged that Microsoft was aiming to deliver Windows 7 in mid-2009. This is even earlier than previously announced indicating what may be a less-than-enthusiastic acceptance of Vista.
Up until now, Microsoft’s official line has been that Windows 7 will ship three years from the date that Vista became generally available. Microsoft began offering Vista to its business customers in the fall of 2006 and to consumers in January 2007.
Redmond is citing the revised launch date is due to the holiday PC sales season. With Vista, Microsoft missed getting code to its PC partners early enough for them to preload it on machines they sold during the holidays and my guess is that Ballmer won’t let that happen again.
