Vista users encountering problems when they upgrade to SP1 can breathe out: the company is giving away free support for those installing the service pack.
Microsoft is looking into a vulnerability that could affect Word, the company said on Monday.
The problem with open source software is a lack of understanding, not a lack of support, according to a Novell executive who hit back at the CIOs from some of Australia's top government agencies.
Microsoft has said it will only further extended the life of Windows XP Home Edition, and only for low-end computers that have no chance of running Vista.
Internet Explorer is more secure than Firefox, according to a senior Microsoft executive, who compared how many vulnerabilities were found in the two browsers -- but critics say his study is flawed.
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.
It's just two months until Microsoft plans to pull the plug on Windows XP arguably its best operating system to date.
If you're considering an upgrade to Entourage 2008, think again -- for some reason, Microsoft hasn't bothered to add some vital functions that are critical to making Apple Mac systems welcome on any Exchange network.

Need a new server but only have AU$2500 to spend? The range of options is surprisingly good as long as you're willing to do without some of the fancy features.
These days, the question is not whether you can use Linux, but where you can best use it. Is there more to Linux than Apache and file and print serving? ZDNet Australia investigates.
Microsoft's Hyper-V is a solid virtualisation platform that's compatible with a wide range of modern server hardware.
