It seems that Microsoft has had a lot of trouble convincing people to make the switch to Vista. I’m a Linux man myself but I gave Vista a short go (before I nuked it and installed Linux), when I got a new desktop and must say that I was surprised to find that all of the rumours about it reducing speedy hardware to a snails pace were true. I think that Windows XP still remains the most stable version of Windows that has ever existed, what do you think? Have you made the change? Do you think Microsoft will pull a rabbit out of a their hat and sort this mess out?
Nice video of the blackberry kickstart;
Laptopmag gets hands on with the gigabyte M912, it’s a very nice looking netbook;
Hewlett-Packard has recently placed orders for VIA Nano CPUs and VIA have already started shipping. It is not known whether HP will use the CPUs in it’s notebooks or netbook series. VIA has said that in addition to previous orders from Chinese companies , the company also has orders from a notebook manufacturer and the product will appear in the market by October this year. As for VIA’s C7-M processor used in HP’s 2133 Mini-Note PC, the total volume that HP has ordered is a little over 500,000, which shows that HP expects to ship at least half a million 2133 Mini-Note PCs by the end of this year.

Thanks to leaked presentation slides we now have details on some 8 core CPUs being developed by Intel. Intels Development Model shows that both the Westmere and Sandy Bridge line of processors will be fabricated with 32 nanometer technology in 2009 and 2010. We can expect the Ivy Bridge and Haswell 22 nanometer processors to surface between 2011 and 2012. The Sandy Bridge architecture will double the number of cores per die to eight! While a new instruction set called the Advanced Vector Extensions or AVX for short, will likely get most of the attention. For those of you who haven’t conked out yet (you know who you are), hit the links below to get a better idea of what your future rigs will likely house.
