The case for Entourage on Snow Leopard
With last month's release of Mac OS X 10.6, much has been made about the potential impact of the included Exchange support in Snow Leopard. Many pundits have even gone so far as to say that with Mac OS X 10.6, you won't need to deal with Exchange clients like Microsoft Entourage, or even the upcoming Outlook for Mac OS X ever again. Exchange support is already in there! The reality of course, is a bit more complicated.
Tracking Snow Leopard's upgrade rate
How quickly are Mac users adopting Snow Leopard? It's hard to tell, but everyone's got a guess. In general, Mac users are much faster to upgrade than their Windows counterparts. But Snow Leopard's got one aspect that should drive upgrades (its $29 price tag) and another that might cause upgrades to lag (its relatively scant list of major new features).

Where Google Chrome security fails: the password
I heard mention that the Chrome OS will have some sort of encryption available a la bitlocker. If it's possible to encrypt personal data using another password or key, then it may have potential for very secure data.... And Ubuntu has an 'encrypt home directory' option, perhaps google should follow suit.
