Beware of Vista "Craplets"
When Windows Vista finally ships in a few weeks, don’t expect your PC to
run fast and trouble-free, warns Microsoft officials — depending on the PC
you buy, it may be weighed down with "craplets." What can you do about
it? Check my blog for details.

Windows Developer Tools Day: Join the Celebration by Blogging About Your
Favorite Tool
To celebrate the tools that make Windows developers lives easier O'Reilly
has declared January 19th to be Windows Developer Tools Day. It’s an ad
hoc and spontaneous effort on our part to draw attention to the growing
number of free and open source software (FOSS) tools that support
developers who do their work on the Windows platforms. Blog about your
favorite tool, post a copy, or describe a tool you want to see, then tell
us about it. For more details, see John Osborn's blog.

Also, O'Reilly is launching a new title, "Windows Developer Power Tools,"
by Jim Holmes and James Avery, which documents more than 170 of the FOSS
tools available today for Windows. Check it out at this URL:

Upgrading a Cheap PC to Windows Vista Ultimate Edition: Surprises Abound!
Think Windows Vista will only run on high-end hardware? Think again. Todd
Ogasawara installed Windows Vista Ultimate Edition on a cheap home PC
that doesn't even have a dedicated video card -- it has a system board
graphics chip set that uses 128 MB of shared video RAM (from the 1 GB RAM
installed). You'll be surprised at what he found out.
