Iexbeta has created a nice Wiki page that has a huge list of software and its compatibility with Windows Vista. It seems most bigboys in software industry such as Photoshop, Adaware, Spybot, Nero etc.. are compatible.
Dell has announced that they have recently launched a recycling program for its US customers and is online at http://www.dell4me.com/recycling
This recycling offer is designed for consumers and includes the pick up of used Dell-Branded computers and peripherals at no charge.
Dell has had a similar program running in Europe since November 2003 and this offer is also currently available in Canada. I wonder if these recycled parts will just be melted down to be made into other items or they will find their way to the spare-parts-for-old-Dell-computers shelf?
A vulnerability has been found in Microsoft Powerpoint which hackers can exploit to comprimise a users system.

Last week, on Technibble: CT 102 we discussed the best way to prepare your software toolkit. Today, however, we’re back on the hardware railroad to discuss the one component your whole computer depends on: the Power Supply Unit. Any computer, no matter how perfectly planned, prepared or assembled, will fail to boot, sputter, smoke and eventually die if connected to an inadequate, weak or just plain faulty power supply. Picking a decent power supply isn’t much of a science; however, knowing what voltages run through your computer is, and knowing it will come in handy once you start actually repairing, as it might indicate what exactly went wrong with the powersupply.

In our introduction to the CT series we explained the basics of assembling a good toolbox that’ll help you deal with hardware issues. However, as you already know, there’s the other side of the computer duality. Software, while not something you can touch, feel, or throw against the wall, is generally bound to give you more trouble. If you arrive to a computer that won’t power up, you know it’s a hardware failure for sure. If, however, it won’t boot into the OS, or boots up to trouble, the odds are in favor of a software issue. And since you were summoned, you need to make sure you have as many utilities at your disposal as possible.
