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.
Microsoft on Friday launched Service Pack 1 for Windows Exchange Server 2007, which includes additions to the Exchange management console, Outlook Web access and disaster recovery.
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.
Keeping the current version of Internet Protocol, the world will run out of IP addresses by 2007. So is it time to move to IPv6? ZDNet Australia investigates.
Security researchers worked overtime in 2007, which turned out to be a nightmare for software vendors from day one.
According to the Office of the Privacy Commissioner's 2007 annual report, Australian consumers should feel pretty safe but that's because it's full of crap.
Symantec is about to launch Norton 360 in Australia and although the product seems to have some interesting features, it will take more than marketing hype to persuade me that the company has stopped making bloated and unreliable software.
If I was Alan Chapman, the acting executive director of the Queensland Government Chief Information Office, I'd be really irate right now.
Considering how expensive and drawn-out tender processes can be to solve problems that might be very immediate, it's little wonder that the Victorian Police IT department tried to work the tender exemptions system.
While we continue to talk about Australia's ICT skills shortage, more than 3,000 potential sponsorships are being blocked by impediments to the 457 visa scheme.

Sceptical that Australians are targeted by cybercrime? Late last year the Australian Computer Emergency Response Team (AusCERT) was asked to repatriate hundreds of Commonwealth Bank customer credentials which had been stolen via the ZeuS trojan.
Cybercrime poses a growing threat to companies and governments around the world, yet experts are concerned law makers and judicial systems are still not equipped to provide an adequate response.
Business security is a serious business. When it comes to large companies that hold a lot of valuable data, any security breach can mean a loss of credibility and thus customers.
With millions of customers at AGL paying by credit card, Cesare Tizi, ZDNet Australia CIO of the Year 2007, explains the importance of security and why outsourcing it is a bad idea. Tizi also talks about why Australia should implement stringent data disclosure laws.
When Cesare Tizi -- ZDNet Australia CIO of the Year 2007 -- started work at AGL, the company had eight billing systems and a complex combination of hardware. In this clip, he explains why simplifying an organisation's IT infrastructure is the "Holy Grail".
Welcome to the CIO Vision Series and congratulations to Cesare Tizi, who was awarded the ZDNet Australia CIO of the Year award for 2007. Tizi was recognised for the work he did while successfully leading Australia's largest energy supplier, AGL Energy, through a period of intense change.
Cesare Tizi, ZDNet Australia CIO of the Year 2007, waxes lyrical about RFID technology -- a subject he knows something about from his Transurban days. He believes the tiny tags will change everything from toll-booths to supermarket checkout queues.
If you didn't make it to AusCERT 2007, which is the largest security conference in Australia, then let ZDNet Australia's Matthew Oxley and Munir Kotadia give you a taste of what you missed.
If you're ready to let go of old habits from previous versions of Word and want to make sleeker-looking documents, Microsoft Word 2007 is worth the upgrade. However, less-expensive alternatives handle its core features without the clutter.
By rewriting much of the code, Symantec made Norton AntiVirus 2007 faster and lighter than its 2006 version, but a few glitches here and there keep us from granting it our Editors' Choice award.
Microsoft PowerPoint 2007 makes prettier presentations, so an upgrade may be in order if your work is particularly image-focused and you don't mind relearning the application. If PowerPoint 2003 serves you well, however, it offers most of the same features, albeit with flatter-looking graphics.
Outlook 2007 beta 2: a more convenient tool for communications and time management than its 2003 ancestor?
Norton Internet Security 2007 makes significant gains over last year, including cutting-edge rootkit and behavioral monitoring features found nowhere else, but the overall package could be serious overkill for the average desktop owner.
