Just rebuilding my Dell XPS 1330 laptop for the 3rd time running. I'm a victim of a certain NVidia chipset fault resulting in overheating in the GPU. Dell has released a BIOS update that helpfully addresses the issue by running your system fan the whole time: I'm sure I could have come up with that one myself.
Having dealt with system recovery under Windows extensively, the experience under Vista is decidedly pleasant. There's nothing quite like being able to bring up a command prompt and backup all your files to an external USB drive even after Windows stops being able to boot, without requiring you create a boot disk.
Ask yourself this – what will information technology look like in the next 10 years? Not 25 years, not 100, but the near future.You’ll either predict the predictable (new releases of Microsoft Windows, Linux still not achieving the mainstream) or attempt to guess the unknowable (the singularity, ubiquitous computing). Make a list. Check it twice.
And then, gently, tenderly, after considering what it really means, cross off every item that achieves buzz word compliance.
What is left? This is IT Futurology.
