Preston Gralla: Four things Apple can learn from Microsoft about security
Yesterday both Apple and Microsoft issued whopper security patches. The way they
were handled shows that Apple has a lot to learn from Microsoft about security.
Here are the four most important ones.

Preston Gralla: Here's why you won't use XP Mode
Windows 7's XP Mode mode got a great deal of hype when it was introduced. But
I've spent a good deal of time with it, and can safely say that unless you're
one of the rare few, you'll never use it. Here's why.

Steven J. Vaughan-Nichols: What's the point of XP Mode anyway?
Seriously. Windows 7 is the next generation of Windows, but it's not a radical
change, so why do we need XP Mode?
