The launch of Windows 7 draws near. Discs are being minted, glossy advertisements are filling magazines, and Microsoft is dispensing ludicrous advice on how to plan your own launch party. For existing Windows Vista users, we highly recommend upgrading to Windows 7, but the question remains: which version should you shell out for when it finally shows up on store shelves? Without a one-size-fits-all box, you’ll need to decide which features you need and which you don’t, to avoid shelling out your hard-earned cash for frivolities.

Mac vs. Windows vs. Android: 2009 – The Year Ahead
We are coming up to the end of the year, and it is traditional to look ahead – and hope the light at the end of the tunnel isn’t a train. Next year will bring a number of major changes for three of the biggest players in consumer electronics right now.
For Apple, we are currently speculating, again, that Steve Jobs may leave shortly because of health reasons. This would mean a change for that company in line with his return in 1996, and Apple yanking its presence from MacWorld, while expected, was not a good initial sign. Snow Leopard, the Apple netbook, and a third-generation iPhone are all expected next year.
Lindows becomes portable
The Lindows Mobile PC, with a weight of 2.9 pounds (about 1.32 kilograms), runs Linux operating system software instead of Microsoft Windows and Apple’s own operation system, and it is equipped with a 933 megahertz C3 microprocessor from VIA Technologies, 256 MB of memory, a 20 GB hard disk and a 12.1 inch TFT display.
Other “ultralight” notebook computers with similar features from Toshiba, IBM and Apple are currently priced between 1,700 and 1,849 dollars, more than doubling the price of Lindows Mobile PC.
