Sick to death of the bad publicity Windows Vista has received due to Microsoft’s own premature announcements, hastily deleted features, incredibly poor initial driver support and bad OEM manufacturer relations, Microsoft is promising its new Windows 7 blog will be regularly updated, full of reliable disclosure and a solid commitment to “promise and deliver” with “high quality and on time”. Is Microsoft on the right track, or will pigs fly first?

Misadventures in Sun’s VirtualBox with Ubuntu and Vista

After reading good things about Sun’s VirtualBox, I decided to download version 1.6.2 two weeks ago to run Ubuntu 8.04 as a virtual machine within Windows Vista. While it worked perfectly at first, the installation of the virtual tools in Windows caused a complete system crash, which I could only fix by doing a System Restore. What happened, and now that VirtualBox has just had a maintenance upgrade to 1.6.4, will I try it again?

It’s one thing to talk about the familiar applications available to Windows users contrasted with the rich suite of free open source apps for Linux, but something totally different to actually compare the loads of the two operating systems as they perform functionally identical tasks.
