		<description><![CDATA[As I write this I’ve spent maybe an hour dipping my toe into the beta of Windows 7, Microsoft’s last great hope operating system to replace the disaster that is Vista. The company may just have done enough to buoy up its sinking credibility. The positive reviews for Windows 7 are so far as plentiful [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=davidmcmanus.com&amp;blog=845430&amp;post=216&amp;subd=mcmanus&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Microsoft was first off the block when it unleashed Internet Explorer 7 on the world and it was closely followed just a few days later by a new milestone release of Mozilla Firefox.

		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft has also come under fire over the past week on a number of fronts. Firstly it lost its antitrust appeal against the European Union meaning it will have to pay a fine of half a billion Euros, reveal the source code of its server-based operating system and offer Windows without a bundled Media Player.

		<description><![CDATA[I gave up on Windows Vista shortly after it came out, primarily due to a worry for my mental state as I waited forever for files to copy around my computer. Vista proved so spectacularly slow that it was like regressing a couple of decades. Fortunately, two new patches quietly issued by Microsoft have worked [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=davidmcmanus.com&amp;blog=845430&amp;post=59&amp;subd=mcmanus&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

I feel like I&#8217;ve been through more hoops than a show dog at Crufts – and all in an effort to achieve something I&#8217;m actually not all that bothered about. I&#8217;ve done my utmost to try out the BBC&#8217;s iPlayer software for [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=davidmcmanus.com&amp;blog=845430&amp;post=56&amp;subd=mcmanus&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I was somewhat amused to read comments made by Microsoft top boss, Steve Ballmer, about the initial sales – or lack of them &#8211; of Windows Vista. Ballmer has had to admit that the initial sales predictions for Vista were ‘overly optimistic’. But does he offer any candid or insightful suggestions as to why the [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=davidmcmanus.com&amp;blog=845430&amp;post=21&amp;subd=mcmanus&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Microsoft’s latest version of its ubiquitous operating system, the much delayed Windows Vista, finally became available to businesses last week. Domestic consumers will have to wait until the end of January before getting a chance to experience it, but by all accounts there are few people wringing their hands in anticipation. Of course, once January [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=davidmcmanus.com&amp;blog=845430&amp;post=7&amp;subd=mcmanus&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
