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 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. "
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. Whatever is at 2000 and we fell a long way and although it seems that as usual, you might look at an article like the one I leave with memories bring us apart, makes us see how things change.
No doubt a little story for nostalgia. http://www.tuxradar.com/content/archives-best-distros-2000

Steve Ballmer says Vista has no place in Netbooks
It seems that Steve Ballmer (Microsoft CEO) has granted an interview with CNET, where we find some curious responses such as in the saying that Windows Vista has no place in the market for netbooks, but they are doing their best to Windows 7 itself does. To know today if Windows 7 is very different to Vista though the recently released beta does not feel that the new system has changed significantly and therefore unlikely to have relevance in the world of netbooks.
