Backward compatibility of Windows 7
According to Cnet Microsoft is working to improve compatibility with older programs that do not currently run on Windows Vista. The list of programs "rescued" non-English-speaking and emphasizes the inclusion, among others, of IKEA Home Planner in the Spanish version.
If they improve this point will be something for Windows 7 as it is one of the issues that has been most criticized in Vista.
Mono 2.4 is released and has more functionality
The. NET incorporates universal in its most complete ASP.NET 3.5, metadata checker for the JIT compiler and the expected inclusion of MonoDevelop 2.0.

If you're legal, use Open Office
"This copy Linex Legal" is a slogan I use in his day the Junta de Extremadura to promote circulation and that could well be estrapolar to Open Office today. Gloger is gerund, I found this article on UbuntuArte . Take a look that is priceless
"A promotional message from OpenOffice, cites that 35% of software in the world are pirated or illegal, we asked whether our software is legal and clearly described Microsoft's strategy.
"After years of unofficially tolerating piracy as a means of securing control of the market, Microsoft is now conducting an offensive to ensure that copies of their software is legitimate:
* Just buy AssetMetrix, a software company specializing in detecting what programs we have installed in our PCs
* You are using the internet to install detection software copies of MS-Office on users' PCs.
* Throughout the world, the Business Software Alliance is organizing efforts to prosecute those who violate their conditions - for example in the UK offers great financial rewards to any informer who reports to companies that use pirated software.
* Microsoft itself admits that clients have difficulty understanding the complexities of software licensing - it's easy to accidentally break their conditions. "
Note that OpenOffice is a perfectly viable alternative, and further copies are legal and will not cost you money. "
The Catholic Church calls for fasting during Lent technology
Italian Catholic bishops have asked their parishioners to stop using both high-tech means such as appliances during Lent, thus giving from the Internet, email, SMSn among others.
This new type of withdrawal due to the care provided by their own religious hierarchy in relation to the use of technology and in some cases abuse the use of it. As an example, the Modena diocese have asked to abstain from the use of electronic messages on Fridays of Lent which ends this year on Sunday 12th April.
'' It's a small way to remember the importance of concrete and not virtual relationships [...] It is an instrument to remind us that our actions and lifestyles have consequences in distant countries. "
The day without SMS, and have called on Fridays of Lent joins the suggestion of the diocese of Turin, which suggested to his parishioners do not watch television during this period of time. Although there are more "suggestions": leave the car at home and bike or public transport, to refrain from throwing chewing gum on the street and start recycling waste; enjoy the silence in a week without internet and iPods.
But one thing is clear, and as stated by one of the priests of a Roman basilica, Giancarlo Angelo Andreis, "if technology is needed for work, meaningless (abstinence)."

A nostalgic look to the past.
Surely many of us tonteabamos with Linux back in 2000, and it seems like yesterday, I do not know because we have lived many more years in the twentieth century than in the XXI or because we imagine that by 2009 cars would fly or Public transportation stops on the moon.
