Which Vista ?

Are you getting as confused as many about which version of Vista is right for you? There's a good guide over at the Guardian on which one you should be buying for your needs.

That's of course unless the answer to the question above is 'Linux' :-)

Elsewhere it's a busy day for Microsoft news.

They're already looking for corporates to take part in the process of development of Vista Service Pack 1, according to a news.com article that ZDNet are quoting:

The software maker has put out a call for businesses that want to be early testers of the software. "Interested customers should contact their Technical Account Manager at Microsoft to get nominated," a Microsoft representative said in an email.

Is anything more guaranteed to get the anti-Microsoft lobby going? It's actually a pragmatic view I believe - they know that they'll be targetted by the underground community, so they're getting the preparations in early for the code that they'll need to develop to counter it. And yes, of course they do need to be writing more secure code.

It's also now been confirmed that Windows OneCare, Microsoft's new Anti Virus (AV) engine, will be shipping at the same time as Vista and be the full international release.
