One of the unheralded fallout from the IMO illegal EU hobbling of Microsoft, is the requirement that Microsoft publicly release, for IMO, a mere pittance, communications and other protocols to, ostensibly the world, but to EU companies in particular. (Read on)

The AbsoluteVista.com HP xw4600 Review
HP xw4600 Personal Workstation
I have been testing the HP xw4600 Personal Workstation these past few weeks.
The xw4600 is near the low end of a range of extremely powerful and very customizable workstations from HP. However, it is priced starting against some of the more pedestrian systems we find at mega-mart. Have no fear though, this is one serious machine
My test unit came with a Core 2 Duo processor, 8GB of RAM, and Windows Vista Business x64.
I promptly erased Vista Business and installed Windows Vista Ultimate x64
Intel’s global antitrust mess
AMD has been battling it out with Intel in the courts in the US.
About a year ago, we were able to get a teleconference with AMD Executive VP and general counsel, Tom McCoy, the details of which I posted here after a personal follow-on interview with Tom.
Well, a couple of weeks ago, the other shoe dropped, with the United States Federal Trade Commission, FTC, escalating their former informal inquiry into Intel's trade practices into a formal full-blown investigation.
After that, a cascade of (mostly) bad news has been dropping for Intel.

Yesterday, I was at the HP facility in Fort Collins, Colorado, where I was briefed on HP's offerings in the workstation space.
I went in to see what the offerings were with a view to finding out more information about the systems, and to see if they would pass muster, and become Logikworx's recommended line of workstations, replacing our current line.
In a nutshell, I came away impressed.
Some Good news on the OOXML front
