Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
Alright Windows XP users, January 30 2007 is the day you can start ordering your upgrade to Vista. As for new PC buyers, Microsoft reckons the stores will be bursting with Vista machines with scarcely an XP box in sight.
In a press conference earlier today, Jim Allchin,
co-president of the platforms and services division at Microsoft, said
that Redmond had signed off on the the RTM build of Vista and that the
product is ready to ship.
Volume licenses to corporations of course will ship earlier, November 30 is the latest date being given.
The official news of Vista's arrival early next year will set the cat
among the pigeons in the hardware space. Vista is a particularly
resource hungry operating system. It requires CPU power, loads of
memory and a good graphics processor among other things. Many existing
boxes that run Windows XP quite well will not run Vista.
A reseller told iTWire today that users who wish to run Vista with the
Aero interface should not consider buying a PC with anything less than
a dual-core processor, 2GB RAM and a fast graphics card with 256MB of
cache if they want good performance. Most users today have machines
that fall well short of those specs.
