Vista is taking body blows: I've been on a bit of a blog and RSS hiatus the past couple of days and have been working my way through tales of destruction and distress (the 365 outage, not Lindsay Lohan's latest episode), news, and views.

Is Vista stupid (or is it me)?: OK – brief rant here. Why is it that when I'm using a USB memory stick, Vista is apparently incredibly stupid about removing the device when I'm finished working with it?

Fake Microsoft security bulletin in the wild: If you or someone you know receives an e-mail about a zero-day exploit affecting Microsoft Outlook do not, under any circumstances, click on the links embedded in the message.

New OneNote Powertoy adds search and replace: Daniel Escarpa has just released a new Powertoy for OneNote that adds a basic search-and-replace feature to the application.

A cautionary Vista story - steep curves ahead: Chris Shipley, the executive director of and impresario behind the DEMO Conferences is hardly a technology lightweight.

Mossberg likes the new Samsung Q1 Ultra UMPC: Well, he likes it more than he did the first-generation Ultra Mobile PC from the Korean electronics giant.

A surprising switch back to Vista from Mac OS X: I must admit I was more than a bit surprised to read this post by Nik Cubrilovic of OmniDrive this morning.
