Vista delay could add up to Mac sales
Cnet have an article that suggests that the recent announced delay to Windows Vista will result in an increase of sales. The discussion on digg.com is not so sure but I can tell you from my personal experience that I am seriously considering moving my main computing environment (my sony vaio notebook) over to a mac system. My recent purchase of a intel mac mini has been a good experience, one that I have enjoyed and I could see myself using the system everyday.
The only thing that is stopping me to moving over my notebook to a mac is the reports of the problems associated with the macbookpro. I just cant bring myself to buy a powerbook - as even though they are great machines they are outdated technology. I always think when you buy you should buy the latest as whatever you buy will be outdated so quickly anyway. So, I am waiting for the hardware to be fixed in the macbookpro line up with a new revision.
“If there’s one company that stands to benefit from the delay of Microsoft’s Windows Vista operating system, it’s Apple Computer, analysts said.
While Microsoft has been struggling to release its new operating system, Apple has regularly put out updates for its Mac OS. Moreover, Apple is already strong in areas where Microsoft has promised to deliver key improvements with Vista: security, and features such as video and photo editing and search, analysts said.
“Apple is the one clear beneficiary of the flip in Vista,” said Gene Munster, an analyst with Piper Jaffray. If shoppers are looking for what Vista has been promising, the decision is easy, he said. Before, “they would have…had to look at a PC against a Mac. Now they only have one choice, at least for this holiday season, and that’s the Mac.”
Microsoft announced on Tuesday that Vista, the successor to the 4-year-old Windows XP operating system, won’t be widely available to consumers until January. That has PC makers and retailers missing the important December shopping season to sell computers with the long-anticipated new Windows software. ”

Here is a look by Jensen Harris of the new look for microsoft office.
“First, here are some basic screenshots of the Office 2007 programs.
There are so many changes from the Beta 1 visuals that it would be hard to make a complete list, but a couple of the things you might notice right off the bat: the Quick Access Toolbar in the title bar, group titles on the bottom of groups, and the Office Button (more on that below.)”

Generation 6 ipod?
The rumour around the place is that Apple is working on a new “true video” ipod, which may be announced as early as April. Geek.com news says:
The video iPod will feature a digital 3.5-inch (diagonal) display, and will ditch the mainstay scroll wheel in favor of a digital clickwheel, which will flip on and off the screen based on the touch of a finger. Apple supposedly had help from two other companies to work out the kinks in this technology.
Seriously, how much would this rock?
