Happy New Year, everyone. I'm back at work and busy grinding out the next installment of the XP User's Guide to Vista, which covers Windows Defender, so you should be seeing that in about a week or so.
Just to run things down real quick, here's a list of all the stuff I'll be covering regularly.
- Vista, of course, both in the ongoing feature guide and in a more detailed fashion when I switch to it as my fulltime operating system.
- HD-DVD and Blu-ray Disc. I do plan to get hardware for both media, if possible. (I'm still edging towards Blu-ray as being the more technologically adept successor, but leave it to Sony to be inept enough to not be able to market eterrnal youth.)
- Digital media in general (music, downloadable movies, etc.)
- Utilities, although normally I wrote about this topic for the TechTarget.com family of sites, and I don't want to duplicate material with them whenever I can help it.
- Anything else that crosses my desk and looks interesting.
As a side note, I've been running the Firefox 3.0 pre-alpha release -- charmingly codenamed "Minefield" -- and it hasn't crashed or given up the ghost once yet. I'm still waiting for them to make the major under-the-hood changes that have been promised, though. One very nice feature: the pre-alpha updates itself whenever there's a new nightly build of the program. Give it a shot if you're adventurous. I use FF by and large, although I run IE 7 in parallel with it about as much now.
