A tie-up with Saleforce.com sees Google pushing even further into Microsoft's businesss applications territory
Although Microsoft is pushing hard to move everyone to the latest version of Windows, there are some market realities that are going to keep Windows XP around for some time — likely well beyond the current June deadline for large computer makers to stop selling the older operating system.
Not ready for a Vista laptop? Simply want to stick to good old XP? Here are your options on the market.
Friday's New York Post writes that an independent group of Yahoo board members believes Yahoo CEO Jerry Yang may be letting emotions trump his better judgment; and that's why he's opposed to accepting Microsoft's buyout offer.
With the release of Windows Server 2008, Microsoft is making a number of improvements to the server's underlying storage mechanisms. I'll talk about four of these improvements and explain what they mean for the typical IT organisation.

Universal Imaging Utility is an excellent utility that could prove invaluable to larger businesses looking to reduce the time required for image creation and deployment. However, the software has limitations, including lack of support for Windows Server installations.
The Aspire 6920G is a stylish machine that offers great performance for watching movies or playing the latest games. It's an excellent option if you're looking for a desktop replacement laptop that can keep you entertained.
The Acer Aspire One is better than most netbooks and is fantastic for anyone who wants a small, cheap machine on which to type and surf the Web. However, its battery life lets it down slightly.
Adobe's latest incarnation of Acrobat is top of the line, highly featured software. Just make sure you need all the bells and whistles before you pay the AU$999 price tag.
The second generation TouchSmart as just a panel PC is gorgeous. The AU$1,999 price is fantastic as well — but we can't help but feel that there's so much more potential in the touchscreen aspect being left, ahem, untapped.
Zoho Invoice is a useful but limited online tool that allows small teams to manage and track invoices. It's easy to use and customise, and the management interface is intuitive and clearly laid out.
This is a handsome and very usable Tablet PC, thanks to its excellent screen and keyboard. Battery life and performance are both a little disappointing, though, and the price becomes steep as you add in the options.

At AU$599, the Photosmart C8180 sits in Hewlett-Packard's lineup as one of its most expensive All-in-One (AIO) players. With a suite of features, it's not without a few missteps.

I can't wait for the new iPhone to come out — mainly because I'm so dog-tired of listening to the never-ending screeds of rumour mongering nonsense speculating on what functionality the device will have that come out every single day. So I've decided to join in. I'm 100 per cent convinced the new iPhone will run Vista and have WiMax connectivity. In fact I'd bet my house on it.
What a week it's been for mobiles.
Synchronising data between multiple computers is difficult and dangerous, which is why we get software to do it these days rather than attempting to manage all the file movements ourselves. But making the assumption that the software knows what it's doing can in itself be dangerous.
Most mobile services which are peddled as the "next big thing" have been around for donkey's years, while operators and handset manufacturers try to find a reason to convince consumers to actually pay for them. GPS looks to be going down the same road.
By allowing people both in and outside of companies to connect with each other, and share information over the network, the pace of business operations will escalate.
