1) THE WINDOWS XP COMMAND LINE TRAINING VIDEOS.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seems I forgot to add some basic details on the Videos
I am creating for the Windows XP Command Line.

Well the information is now available:

2) WWW.UMPC.TV

------------------------------------------------------

The response to my request for newsletter subscribers to
take a look at my new "concept" website was OVERWHELMING!

(Even Google is indexing the site in less than 2 weeks...)

Over 1,000 of you emailed me and most of you thought it
was a good idea - so I will create more themed websites
like it very soon.

One complaint many of you had was the main graphic, so I
have now replaced it with a professional looking one!

5) THE MICROSOFT IPOD KILLER?

-------------------------------------------------------

In the last 24 hours the rumours have been flying around
the Internet.

Microsoft is launching a rival to the Apple iPod, or is it?

6) THE WINDOWS VISTA LAB - AMSTERDAM.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

A few newsletter subscribers have asked about my trip last
month to the Microsoft Windows Vista lab in Amsterdam.

So I have provided a brief write up:
