Security, Macs and the iPhone have dominated 2007 according to our readers, outshining even the election's IT tug-of-war and the much awaited introduction of Microsoft Vista.
2007 was an eventful year for Microsoft, with the company playing what it considered to be its trump card (only to discover Vista wasn't trumps, XP was). But the lovable giant had its fingers in many other pies -- making for a year of management changes, entry into unclaimed markets and new alliances.
Mincom has confirmed that it let 100 employees go in February as it underwent a restructure to shunt it into a new strategy and manage its costs.
The NSW Department of Education and Training has picked Microsoft Windows XP and Office software and Lenovo hardware to run on its impending roll-out of 200,000 student netbooks funded through Kevin Rudd's Digital Education Revolution, leaving the Linux alternative out in the cold.
