Finally, you'll be able to use DDR2 with the AMD chips. There have been reports all along that it wasn't really a performance boost, but, with both camps behind the standard now, we should be able to see some really nice speed improvements.

Large group of questions answered about the forthcoming Vista, direct from the mouth of Microsoft.
Interesting Q's include the various versions that will be released, as well as a general "system requirements" that seems to be "any computer released within the last 3 years, with a RAM upgrade".

Finally, a real date for the launch of Vista. Couldn't be sooner, I'm bored with solving problems with XP already. Not like it's been 5 years or anything, oh.. wait.
It's 'Official': Windows Vista to Launch in November: "There have been rumors galore about exactly when Microsoft plans to ship Windows Vista. We've heard everything from August to October. Microsoft spokespeople have favored a 'latter half of 2006' due-date answer, when asked. But from the 'Official Microsoft Connections' event blog we now have an official month: It's November, folks. Just in case the post disappears, here's what it says: 'This is the year… the year that Microsoft releases the newest version of Windows. Yes, Vista will be released in November of this year.' The release-to-manufacturing date will be earlier, obviously. We'd say early fall, if we were wagering."

Free web-based remote control software. Very nice alternative to the subscription based offerings.
LogMeIn Basic review by PC Magazine: "LogMeIn operates along the same lines as GoToMyPC. Once you install the software on a PC, you can access that machine from almost any browser on the Web. (It works best on browsers that support ActiveX or Java, but it can also do remote control by constantly sending screenshots�far from ideal, but a lot better than nothing). Unlike GoToMyPC, even the free version of the app lets you access an unlimited number of machines."

New Web 2.0 site that allows you to make presentations and publicize them. Very cool idea, but hopefully they will add the ability to password protect content, otherwise, they're missing out on a huge amount of customers.
