I've always enjoyed RealVNC.  I've found it lightweight and fast.
It's not all free, but it's still really good.

Great article.  I am all for what you said, however, although I agree something should be done about backward compatibility, I'm not sure if I like the solution.

Maybe it's just me, but I have family and friends who would gloss over big time if I said they needed to start a VM.  It's not simple enough.  I also don't know how much "backwards compatibility" code there is, and what would classify as software which is being held up by said code.

Is Word 97 only working because of specific code, or is the same code running Word 97 needed to run Word 2007?  I can see stuff needed for the 64-bit shift, but I always get the feeling that we're not talking about this when we talk about backwards compatibility.

Simply put: Is it Microsoft who needs to change or is it software developers?

Has there been any information when we might be able to see USB 3.0 support come to MOBOs?

I'm currently waiting for Core i7 chips so I have a socket that will last, but I'm wondering how long until USB 3.0.

Anyone have any news/opinions regarding this?

Has it been determined if Intel truely has labelled Nehalem Core i7?

I thought the logos were nice and wish I could get my mouse on a large non-watermarked version.
