The National Native Title Tribunal (NNTT) appears to be in the process of skipping the upgrade to Windows XP, instead flagging plans to move its Windows 2000-based desktop fleet to Vista over the next few years.
The federal Department of Industry, Tourism and Resources (DITR) has flagged plans to migrate its 2,900-strong desktop fleet to Microsoft's latest Windows Vista and Office 2007 software. But the move could still be some time away.
The Australian Electoral Commission (AEC) has stipulated the latest dual-core, 64-bit processors must be at the heart of its desktop PC refresh expected to commence early next year.
Seagate Technology has named the first manufacturer to sell laptops with its new built-in hard drive encryption technology.
Thousands of Dell users have contacted a user forum to call for PCs to be shipped with a Linux operating system and the OpenOffice application suite.

The Dell Vostro range, which comes in both notebook and desktop form factors, is designed for the small business market. We found the Vostro 1510 to have good performance for a mid-range notebook but performance comes at the expense of battery life.
Upgraded to Windows Vista, the Dell XPS M1210 is a pricey but powerful system for those who want a smaller laptop with few compromises.
At AU$3,750, this is a "premium" product, but what you get for your money is a flexible and road-worthy tablet -- but it does require extra peripherals to perform optimally.
Windows Vista's less than stellar reputation and poor uptake are due in part to the heavy demands it makes on system hardware. But how does Windows 7 perform?
