iMac Flexes its Vista Muscle

The folks at Microsoft must psyched at the thought of next week’s Vista launch, but apparently some of them are a little too giddy in the head for their own good. It appears some MS reps from Norway went on air and demoed Vista on an iMac—not once acknowledging the fact that they were using…

Vista UMPC Screenshots: Can a New OS Save Origami?

Aside from a few models, there haven’t been many UMPCs that have impressed us. The combination of high price and bulky looks have kept these “miniature” PCs from gaining any ground.
