The Australian Government Information Management Office (AGIMO) has labelled a newspaper report as "factually incorrect" that it had moved to a strategy of centralised IT procurement before the findings of the Gershon review were released next month.
Since taking over the Windows development reins from Jim Allchin, Steven Sinofsky has chosen to keep silent about new products, but now in an exclusive interview, he spills the beans on Windows 7.
Microsoft has said it will release a patch at the end of January that should fix all the problems introduced by a recent update to its Windows Live OneCare security software.
Microsoft has released the latest version of its all-in-one security product, Windows Live OneCare. In beta since July, version 2.0 offers many enhancements to existing tools and offers several new tools, particularly in the area of networking and backup storage.
Over the years, Red Hat's Fedora has made a name for itself as a version of Linux for enthusiasts, developers, and those who want to try the latest thing in open-source software. But a curious feature of the new version 8, released Thursday, is the ability to strip out the Fedora identity altogether.

Recently, HP released its largest ever range of printers at its Go Print 2.0 Conference in Shanghai. ZDNet.com.au's photo gallery gives you the complete range, along with comparisons, prices and release dates.
For Bankstown City Council, a 170,000-resident council south-west of Sydney, a desire to regain control of its printing environment -- and to reduce its impact on the environment -- recently led to a complete reconsideration of its printing, scanning and faxing processes.
At its Winning Edge event in Beijing, HP took the wraps off several new printers including large-format Designjets, a new document scanner and it's latest and greatest, Edgeline, an inkjet designed to replace high-volume office photocopiers.
Dell has introduced its new Vostro range, aimed at small businesses that require minimal IT support. Here's the full line-up available in Australia at launch.
The HP Officejet J6480 has a lot of built-in features that are rarely found included in a AU$300 printer.
Tabbed browsing is a feature that has been available in alternative browsers for many years but Microsoft has finally caught up with IE7. Here is a demo on how to make the most out of the new feature and also a demonstration Vista's shrink-to-fit feature, which automatically resizes pages before sending them to your printer.
The 2135cn from Dell is a colour laser MFP with network support. While the 2135cn is a mixed bag in terms of quality and performance, it comes at a reasonable price.
The Samsung CLX-6210 Colour Laser MFD offers great feature set at a very reasonable price, but duplex printing is slow.
The Brother MFC-7440N prints quickly and is fairly inexpensive to sustain, but we simply can't get behind a printer with poor quality graphics, significant hardware defects, and a boring design.
The Canon Pixma MX7600 produces excellent images as expected by both brand and nature. If only Canon could match its technical expertise with better network support, usability and documentation.
Samsung's ML-2851ND is a bare bones mono-laser printer with a few extra features attached that will appeal to the small-to-medium business crowd that simply needs to print out text documents or light graphics. The AU$330 price tag is higher than average for a monochrome printer. Still, if print speed and print quality are deciding factors for you, consider the Samsung ML-2851ND.
