Microsoft warns users against using vLite
,----[ Quote ]
| Is Microsoft waving their finger in disapproval at people looking to slim
| down Vista? That seems to be what is happening as many people frustrated with
| Vista's slowness turn to third-party utilities to speed things up. In
| particular, a program called vLite has earned a bit of fame by allowing
| people to make their Vista installations more lightweight, removing unwanted
| components and implementing various speed tweaks.

Goodnight Vista

| It's been a while since I've been around, for I have been quite

Final thoughts and questions
,----[ Quote ]
| The Vista train is running full steam to its release date on November
| 30 to businesses and January 30, 2007 to store shelves. Is Vista
| really ready? That depends on what it will be ready for. We expect
| that the biggest headache for users will be so-called in-placeu
| pgrades. While Vista was reasonable on all the machines where we
| performed a clean install, it was an absolute mess on the machine
| upgraded from XP, and this problem has been noted by others.

Microsoft feeling heat from Linux in budget flash PC market
,----[ Quote ]
| It is important to note that this initiative focuses on Microsoft's Windows
| XP, rather than Microsoft's latest OS, Windows Vista. For companies like
| Asus, Linux appears to be a more future-proof option and is much easier to
| modify to fit within the constraints of devices with low hardware overhead.
| Asus and Microsoft have already announced plans to sell XP-equipped versions
| of the Eee PC, but Microsoft is scheduled to end sales of Windows XP next
| June, and should the company hold fast to that deadline, the roadmap for
| Windows on budget, ultramobile PCs is unclear.
