SP2 Delayed again?!

Yes, it is happening again. Service Pack 2 for Windows XP, which Microsoft had previously said would be out in June, is going to be delayed.

The 64-bit desktop and you.

Coming to grips with "64-bit and you" is a challenge for the average PC user. Most people use a pc but they don't understand it. This is a layman's guide to 64-bit.

This is the middle ground between "I don't know" and "That's too much." Add comment
