24.04.2007IE Mobile 6 to be available on new WM 6.1 smartphones
Microsoft will be rolling out Windows Mobile 6.1 AKU 1.4 bundled with IE Mobile 6 for all the new Windows Phones until Windows Mobile 6.5 is released.
Glad that Microsoft is upgrading their mobile browser and not delaying it further. Microsoft had decided earlier that IE Mobile 6 will not be made
available as an upgrade or download for existing Windows Phones saying that the current hardware cannot support IE 6. "Regarding making IE Mobile
available as a separate download or update, the rich media experiences that IE Mobile 6 enables require more powerful, advanced devices.

Compare Windows vs Linux
Jon Box: For years, Linux has been formidable competitor to Windows - for some good reasons, but sometimes from folks who speak out of un-education
(typically religious positions). In years past, I've pointed out resources to clarify this (from my first blog pushing the Get the Facts campaign back in 2003, last year pointing out vulnerability
reports), and obviously others on my team do the same (Beth
talking TCO of Linux vs. Windows in 2006).
So, here's an update: there's new content on our Windows Server Compare site. To go along with customer stories, case studies,
pointer to UNIX and mainframe comparisons, the new pieces are...

A comparison of next-gen display interfaces
The world of graphics
technologies continues
changing at phenomenal rates.
It is often difficult for the
average consume to keep up
with all of the advancements.
Buzzwords like DVI, HDMI, UDI
and DisplayPort are all the
rage. But, what is behind
those phrases and how do they
relate to one another? We have
compiled the data into one
comprehensive, easy to read
overview.
If
you have been following
technology in recent months
lately, then there is a good
chance that you have been
confronted with one of these
display interface technologies
“ and there is a good chance
that you have had no idea what
these standards are about and
how they compare with
eachother. A recent
announcement of a DisplayPort
display by Samsung prompted us
to compare formats and compare
the standards feature by
feature.
Lets
have a closer look.
