The Australian Capital Territory government has signalled it will sign new suppliers for PC, server and printer hardware in mid-2007, in arrangements collectively worth between AU$80 million and AU$100 million.
The National Health and Medical Research Council (NHMRC) is seeking a supplier to provide ICT services for its Canberra and Melbourne offices over the next three years, including migrating the Council from XP to Vista.
Sydney Water chief information officer Tim Catley tells ZDNet.com.au in an in-depth interview how he restored the credibility of the organisation's IT department and exorcised its tech demons with strong governance and a simple 100-day plan.
Despite its big push for Vista, Microsoft is quietly allowing PC makers to offer an option that lets users "downgrade" to Windows XP, allowing customers to purchase new PCs but stick with the older operating system.
The four largest PC vendors have no plans to sell the media player-free version of Windows which Microsoft was ordered to offer by Europe's competition commissioner.

IBM Research is experimenting with a chameleon-like computing device called the Meta Pad, designed to easily convert from a desktop machine to a handheld to a notebook and back again.
By choosing the safe Windows XP choice for student laptops, the NSW Department of Education and training is turning its back on the chance to turn hundreds of thousands of students into armchair developers and handcuffing itself to a rocky Windows 7 upgrade path.
Business travellers who like to travel light should definitely consider IBM's sleek, new, full-featured powerhouse: the ThinkPad X40.
New technology gains legitimacy when it solves real business problems, but becomes indispensable when it offers to take that business in completely new directions. Such has been the case at Maroochy Shire Council, where a quite conventional thin-client rollout is now facilitating new ways of working for employees in the office and on the road.
The premium you pay is worth it: the ThinkPad T60 delivers a sturdy design, a complete range of network connectivity, top-shelf performance, long battery life, and just enough ports for the typical business user.
Businesses seeking a sturdy, secure, portable workhorse should consider the ThinkPad R52.
The ThinkPad T43 puts new components inside its tried-and-true case, but the updated parts didn't produce a significant speed or battery-life boost.
Check out the basic IBM ThinkPad R51 if you're low on cash, but think twice before loading up on expensive options.
The ThinkPad T42 is a good choice for business professionals looking for a top-notch laptop at a reasonable price.
