65bits Episode 95: Touchsmart has a fan club??
This week’s recording was a race against time because we weren’t at our usual location, and had a dying laptop and no power plug. This week’s recording also successfully proved that we’re in the pre-Christmas lull, that equally magical window of the year where 3 weeks worth of stories turn out to be less than one week’s usual worth. Well you’ll see the other extreme real soon. HP released Touchsmart’s codes to developers, Windows 7 is shown off at PDC and it looks promising, and Starhub malu-ated as they fail to deliver their declaration of all Singaporean telcos selling the iPhone by the end of this year.

Here’s a Microsoft blog dedicated to Windows 7 development:

From what I understand, Windows 7 is going to be much better than Vista in terms of usability. I haven’t used Vista myself, but from the articles from the blog, it seems the developers put in a lot of thought into the design. So I’ll be a fresh start for the Vista/7 look.
There’s also another podcast I listen to where the presenters talked about Windows Azure:
