One of the interesting things he said was that Windows 7 was indeed tweaked and slimmed down to run on lower powered computers than Vista. Let's talk about that, and how Microsoft has a utility to help you load Windows 7 on your netbook. http://www.itworld.com/small-business/83026/windows-7-older-pcs-windows-7-netbooks#comments Hardware Operating systems Small business Windows Opinion Linux Netbooks upgrade Vista Windows 7 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 10:49:49 -0400 James Gaskin 83026 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/software/82608/avg-delivers-small-business-security-offerings AVG Technologies has announced the general availability of its latest small business security products, AVG Internet Security Business Edition 9.0 and AVG Anti-Virus Business Edition 9.0. http://www.itworld.com/software/82608/avg-delivers-small-business-security-offerings#comments Channel Security Small business Software News antivirus AVG Technologies Tue, 27 Oct 2009 20:34:17 -0400 ITworld staff 82608 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/business/82562/cisco-buying-scansafe-183-million Cisco has announced plans to buy privately held ScanSafe, a maker of software-as-a-service (SaaS) Web security services for enterprises and small-to-midsize businesses, for $183 million. http://www.itworld.com/business/82562/cisco-buying-scansafe-183-million#comments Internet SaaS Security Small business News Cisco ScanSafe web security Tue, 27 Oct 2009 14:30:42 -0400 ITworld staff 82562 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/small-business/82173/google-apps-trump-ibm-lotus-inotes-lame-offering Did you notice Google Apps has a new competitor? Didn't think so. You'd think IBM and Lotus could come up with 1) a better product to compete on Google's turf and 2) figure out a way to make a bigger splash. All we have here are lame offerings created by idiot vice presidents and marketed by other idiot vice presidents. http://www.itworld.com/small-business/82173/google-apps-trump-ibm-lotus-inotes-lame-offering#comments Business Personal tech SaaS Small business Opinion E-mail Google Google Apps IBM Lotus iNotes Fri, 23 Oct 2009 11:50:43 -0400 James Gaskin 82173 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/software/81722/microsoft-hmc-broadsoft-uc-cloud When people think of Microsoft's collaboration applications, SharePoint, some of the Office and Exchange functionality, and experimental tools like Academy Mobile spring to mind.

Haleron in Columbia spent six months engineering a netbook with two Intel Atom processors to rev up the performance. The lower netbook pricing enables income-limited South Americans to use a netbook in place of a more expensive laptop for general computer needs. http://www.itworld.com/small-business/81815/hot-rod-netbook-sports-dual-cpus#comments Hardware Personal tech Small business Opinion Haleron intel atom SSD Swordfish N120 Windows XP Wed, 21 Oct 2009 12:04:11 -0400 James Gaskin 81815 at http://www.itworld.com
