Google's much-rumored online storage service should be available in a few months, according to a report in The Wall Street Journal that cites unnamed sources.
Backing off earlier plans, company says customers will be able to buy the virtualisation technology without committing to Windows Server.
MSN has moved to placate paid subscribers to its Windows Live Hotmail Plus service after announcing that standard Hotmail users are to be granted up to five gigabytes of storage.
A Web-based replica of Windows on the desktop won't be ready anytime soon if Microsoft's latest releases of Web-based services are any indication.
Microsoft has finally rolled out its online storage service in Australia, but it's definitely worth reading the fine print before you sign up.
While there's not much that's more fun than stirring up Linux and Windows zealots into a frenzy of spite against each other, we thankfully finally seem to be approaching a more measured universe in which technology choices can be made based on suitability rather than preconception.

An appreciably large NAS server targeted for small- or home office use, above-average performance and considerable storage space make the Iomega Storcenter Pro 150d a great solution for data archiving and backing up PCs in your office.
The Snap Server 210 makes for a very tightly integrated and low maintenance backup system over WAN, but is pricier than many other solutions.
Symantec Backup Exec 11d performs well, installation is a breeze and considering the ability to backup and restore individual database records and substantially reduce downtime, it isn't difficult to justify the price.
SCVMM 2008 R2 is a very competent product, neatly bringing Microsoft's virtualisation management offering in line with the competition at the same time as offering management of disparate platforms in the one product.
