Windows 7 - Where's the beef? How much?!!? Why, and why risk it?
Adrian Kingsley-Hughes: Over the past couple of weeks I've received some 600 emails from Hardware 2.0 readers on the subject of upgrading to Windows 7. The emails have come from a broad cross-section of the PC using market, from home users running a single PC, all the way to decision makers at large corporations. Reading these emails has given me tremendous insight into how people on the ground think about and see Windows 7 (rather than pundits, which, let's face it, live in a different world ...).

Google announces Chrome OS tech partners ... The threat to Microsoft (and Linux as a whole) grows
Adrian Kingsley-Hughes: It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking that there's a good chance of anything that Google announces either never seeing light of day, remaining stuck in beta stage forever or languishing until someone puts it out of its misery and pulls the plug on it. This is what many made of the Chrome OS announcement the other day. But now that Google has announced a string of tech partners, the whole project has acquired that "real" feel. And it now also has a chance of developing into something that could threaten Microsoft's OS dominance, especially at the lower end of the price/performance spectrum.
