Considering a Mac (an update)

Thursday, April 9th, 2009

This post is the next step along from my post entitled ‘What is stopping me getting a Mac‘.  At this moment in time, I’m still completely open to switching to the Mac if the switch would work in my favour.  It has been about 11 months since my last post on this topic, and we’ll see if anything has changed.

I’m loving all the new Windows 7 info

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

I’m loving all the new Windows 7 info- This week, the 2008 coverage of Microsoft’s Professional Developers Conference has been geek heaven for me.  I’ve been reading Paul Thurrott‘s excellent Windows 7 Preview series regularly, waiting in anticipation for each new instalment.  Really interesting stuff.
