Microsoft Embraces ?I?m A PC?
2008-09-18 05:12:00 A recent post on the Windows Vista Blog led me to a New York Times article: Echoing the Campaign of a Rival, Microsoft Aims to Redefine ?I?m a PC?. It?s worth the read.

Why Is iTunes 8 Giving Vista Users A BSOD?
2008-09-12 02:02:00 I guess Apple forgot that not everyone uses a Mac. Vista users got a nasty surprise when they went to upgrade to iTunes 8: a Blue Screen of Death, aka a BSOD.
