Vista on my mind: The official release of Micrsoft Vista is finally here. If you were one of the folks waiting outside a CompUSA to snag the first copy at 12:05am, I hope you've got some naptime scheduled for this afternoon. If you're gearing up for the install, check out Oliver Rist's last-minute countdown tips: finding a GPU, learning the rules of the new game selections, running a firewall check, getting those home movies ready for wallpaper viewing, and monitoring random downloads by your users. On the other hand, it looks like interoperability is still an issue for security products, especially with multiple versions of the OS. Looking for more ? You'll find all our Vista coverage here. Happy upgrading!
DIY appliances?: Embedded Linux is big in the appliance space, especially when it comes to security appliances. But that doesn't mean you can't roll your own, thanks to the Debian Router Project. Check out the list of potential appliance ideas over at the Geeks in Paradise blog, and start building boxes.
When "IE only" isn't the whole story: Tom Yager had to bite his tongue during a recent webcast prep: On24 informed him that he had to use IE on Windows. Not an easy pill to swallow for InfoWorld's resident Mac man. But the real surprise came about when Yager started digging into On24's code -- turns out, it does support a couple of other platforms besides IE. So why not tout this fact? That's the $10,000 question, folks.
