I wish Microsoft would get their story straight on Windows 7, the successor to ‘the wow starts now’ of Windows Vista. Why? Because the company says 2010, while Bill Gates – still the official man at the top, says it’s coming ‘in the next year or so’. Which is it?!

Microsoft watcher Mary Jo Foley is suggesting that Windows 7 will be a modular operating system, with a central core that is the OS itself, with other modules to be separately installable. Why isn't this a good thing, and would it mean only ‘one’ version of Windows at retail?

For the past month all I've been hearing are moans and groans about how bad Vista is, how badly managed the distribution of SP1 has been, and how bad SP1 itself is. Well, for all the nostalgia freaks who long for the days of Windows XP, Windows 2000, NT4 or even Win 3.11, please go down to a computer swap meet, buy yourself an old clunker box loaded with DOS 6 and give the rest of us with new hardware a break. Vista is a damned good operating system just as it is.

When you buy a computer today, it often comes with a range of third party software, pre-loaded for your ‘convenience’. Sometimes it’s useful – such as a pre-loaded Internet security suite with a 15 month subscription, other times it’s useless demo software that’s just taking up space and must be manually uninstalled. Why do companies do this, and why did Sony decide to charge money to take the ‘unwanted’ software away?
