Great Roundup. I really liked the UK Linux Laptop news from Computer World and Bill Gates's temper tantrum over XP. The first made me smile, the other laugh out loud. You should note that Vista is still a giant flop. A recent study shows that GNU/Linux is getting more commercial developer attention than Vista. A more recent study shows long term corporate plans are down from last year's 2/3rds to about 1/4th of those surveyed. The second study will surely damp developer interest further. Microsoft may be able to push Vista onto hapless users who HAVE to buy a new PC but even they are resisting that kind of expense as the overall economy takes a nosedive.
