If you’re a Windows watcher, circle this date on your calendar: April 10, 2012. That’s the date when mainstream support for Windows Vista officially ends.

Windows Server 8, the server complement of Windows 8 client, is on the same development track and path as Windows 8 client. If we Microsoft watchers are right, both Windows 8 client and server should be out in 2012, possibly in the first half of the year. Microsoft is touting Windows Server 8 as a key private-cloud building block, which means virtualization will be critical to the next release.

Apple Mac OS X "Lion" Review
by Guest BSchwarz- 0 replies
- 301 views
By Thurrott, Paul Mac OS X Lion represents a first step, I think, towards melding the OS X user experience with that of Apple’s far more popular iOS devices--the iPhone, iPod touch, and iPad.
