GM becomes the latest big business customer to consider rejecting Vista
Microsoft, typically known for a self-confident business approach has been sending clearly mixed signals on the health of Windows Vista that are perhaps indicative of the problems the OS is experiencing. The situation, rather uncharacteristic for Microsoft, which has had a long string of successes, is best summed up in the words of its own executives.
While Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates recently described that Vista was moving units at a "rapid sales rate", Microsoft Chief Executive Officer Ballmer told executives in a recent meeting that Vista was a "work in progress". The Microsoft designers who made Vista's unpopular User Account Control (UAC) admitted that it was designed to "annoy" the standard user. Perhaps even more revealing, Ballmer, while praising adoption rates at MIX 08 admitted to problems with the OS stating, "we did make the choice... [Read More] | |

I have to admit, when Dell bought Alienware in 2006, bringing a premier line of gaming PCs into the fold, the move didn't seem to make all that much sense, as Dell already had its XPS gaming PC line. Now it seems that Dell agrees that it doesn't need both lines.
Next month, according to the Wall Street Journal, Dell will begin phasing out four gaming systems in its XPS line of PCs. This will leave the Alienware line as its sole "true" gaming systems...

Microsoft's restrictions for Windows XP on ULPCs gets leaked.
In early April, Microsoft made a lot of OEM and consumers happy with the announcement that Windows XP Home would live on in ultra-low-cost PCs (ULPCs) until June 30, 2010. The rise of such low-cost machines as the ASUS Eee PC -- which primarily runs on a Linux-based operating system -- led to Microsoft's decision to offer Windows XP to OEMs past the already established June 30, 2008 cutoff date.
At the time of the announcement, the only restriction seemingly placed on the reprieve for Windows XP Home seemed to be that the operating system could only be sold on ULPCs. IDG News, however, came into possession of an internal document to OEMs which [Read More] | |

May 11, 2008 - 1:35 PM - by polonyc2 |
the first Bloomfield supporting mobo will be Intel X58(with ICH10/R) coming out Q4 this year. Because Bloomfield have already got memory controller integrated, so north bridge will be simplified. The biggest point of the board will be the odd lay out, dual channel, Triple channel DD3 supporting and Dual PCIe 2.0 X16 or Quad PCIe 2.0 X8.
The north bridge have couples of new features, but Intel keeps ICH10/R as its south bridge...
