Under a new program announced by Microsoft, large companies that sell refurbished PCs can get a new copy of Windows XP to put on the machine, as long as they pay Microsoft again for that copy.
Microsoft has commissioned a report which claims the new power-management features in Vista can help companies "massively" reduce carbon emissions resulting from the use of desktop PCs.
Microsoft chief executive Steve Ballmer has claimed that more efficient use of IT is one of the company's main priorities for the future despite the fact Microsoft has been widely criticised for producing resource-hungry software.
One year after Microsoft officially launched its Vista operating system for business, it's fair to say that it hasn't been a smooth ride for the software giant.
It's official, 2007 was the year in which green IT became important to the IT industry, with corporate giants like Google, Intel, HP, Dell, Microsoft and Sun Microsystems all willing to get their hands dirty.
At the CeBIT exhibition in Germany this week, Steve Ballmer got on stage and told the world that Microsoft takes "green" issues seriously.
We give you a sneak peek at a "Technical Preview" build of Microsoft's upcoming Office 2010 suite before the company formally unveils it to the public.
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.

The long, long road to installing Windows Vista ... from 3GB DVD.

Microsoft Security Essentials is recommended for those who want something to set and ignore, but users who want more robust configuration choices or don't want to contribute to the cloud should look elsewhere.
Trend Micro Internet Security Pro's broad feature set combined with its look and feel make it a serious contender, but questionable efficacy and middling performance mean it's a program we're not recommending for this year.
Going by older detection and removal numbers, Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware offers competent if basic security protection. However, so do many free competitors. This year, we recommend giving Trend Micro AntiVirus plus AntiSpyware 2010 a pass.
You can't beat the price. For a good, basic internet security suite, we recommend Trend Micro Internet Security 2009.
