What’s the word I’m looking for? Game console? Hmmm, no. Gaming station? Hmmm, nope. Toy? Heh, not that one either… But supercomputer sounds great!
That’s how Sony refers to their newest addition to the PlayStation family. Sure it’s powerful but isn’t calling it a supercomputer going a little too far? Time will tell. The console will ship with a hard drive and with Linux preinstalled (no information on which distro it will be). This might be a great idea – you’ll get some computer functionality and the OS itself won’t cost Sony that much (although I wouldn’t be surprised if it were a commercial distro – even support would be easier for them this way).

Microsoft will start providing antivirus and antispyware updates for Windows users. The service call Windows OneCare will be a yearly subscription . I guess expecting the software giant to redesign IE and some elements of the Operating System would be too much.
Windows has been around too long and carries too much old code and design. Will Longhorn change much? I honestly doubt that it will. Did Windows XP change much? Nope. If you get rid of Luna (the visual style) and remove some digital camera and other drivers we’re pretty much looking at Windows 2000; with the exception that the latter was a bit more stable.
Anyway, I’ll still keeping using FireFox on Linux , Mac OS X and Windows .
