happygeek in a Nutshell
I am a freelance technology journalist from England, and have been for fast approaching 20 years now. For 14 of them I have enjoyed being Contributing Editor with PC Pro magazine, the biggest selling monthly IT publication in the UK.
Currently, I hold the title of Information Security Journalist... (Read Blog)
In something of an embarrassing development for Microsoft, four anti-virus products for Vista have failed to reach the required standard to achieve VB100 certification by the highly respected independent industry body, Virus Bulletin.
In something of an even more embarrassing development,...

Microsoft Vista has, in the few days that it has been on general release, managed to avoid the embarrassment of anyone poking major holes in its security from the perspective of protection of consumer PC integrity at least. However, everything is not so sweet when it comes to those media companies...

My original news story here at DaniWeb has certainly caused something of a media frenzy. Everyone from specialist GPS and gadget websites through to national newspapers have been covering how TomTom let an unspecified number of its GO 910 satnav devices escape from the factory with not one but two...

It started with an email from a worried satnav user, Lloyd Reid of Trichromic LLP an IT consultant who knows his way around a computer and knows a virus when his AV software flags one up. The cause for his concern being a newly purchased TomTom GO 910 satnav unit that, once connected to his PC,...

Two statistics entered my radar today and stopped me dead in my tracks, which doesn’t happen often. Both concerned the remarkable growth in the connectivity of the Chinese population. The first comes courtesy of the China Internet Network Information Center and reports that the total number of...

Google has announced that they have put an end to Googlebombs - for the moment. Previoulsy a search for "failure" would bring up George Bush's White House page, but as you can see, they've fixed it.

When asked if Vista is going to be a success, most people answer "yes" for various reasons: good interface, XP is getting old, it's going to be sold with new PCs anyway. Wait... really? Dell's new Dimension n-Series might be aiming to change that a little bit.
The website even talks about Linux...

Microsoft's now planning to make Windows Vista and Office downloadable via their website - a good choice, likely spurred on by the vast number of other software distributable via the internet.

Dortz in a Nutshell
I work for University Housing as a nettech. Basically, it's our job to keep the residents online. I 'live' in the realm of the stupid user. Kinda makes you hate the world.
I'm into working closely with windows XP, and recently, have been toying with the innards of vista. I'm also into a sort... (Read Blog)
So many people are weighing in with opinions on their personal 'Vista Experience,' that I thought I'd give it a try. I've been working with Vista since beta 2, and have recently recieved my very own copy of Vista Business... And I couldn't be happier.
Vista is not capable of something insanely...
