Bill Gates may be stepping away from full-time work later this year, but he still has a few things he wants to show off.
Microsoft has outlined the changes it plans to make to the desktop search feature in Windows Vista to satisfy antitrust concerns.
Google on Monday said it's still not convinced that Microsoft's planned tweaks to Windows Vista go far enough to head off its antitrust concerns.
Kevin Johnson, Microsoft's online and Windows chief and a key figure in the company's failed Yahoo takeover effort, is leaving the company to become chief executive at Juniper Networks, Microsoft confirmed on Wednesday in the US.
Yesterday, Microsoft sent out a press release, which is not uncommon. What is uncommon is to get one unconnected with a product launch, an event or some major change in strategy.
Google stitched up some gaping holes in its desktop search software recently but the nature of the tool's design means that the contents of users' hard drives will remain under constant threat of exposure.
As the two giants tussle for domination of online advertising dollars, it's increasingly clear that this tug-of-war is really a test of each company's corporate culture.
Vista can be a performance hog, but there are many ways you can tweak the OS components to speed it up. See what actions you can take to remove bottlenecks and optimise Vista.
Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates speaks with CNET News.com's Ina Fried in New York about the long-awaited launch of his company's new operating system, Windows Vista.

Windows Vista Ultimate is essentially warmed-over Windows XP. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use.
Windows Vista Home Premium is essentially warmed-over Windows XP Home Edition. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista Home Premium is stable enough for everyday use.
Windows Vista Home Basic is essentially warmed-over Windows XP, Windows XP SP3. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use.
Windows Vista Business is essentially warmed-over Windows XP. If you're currently happy with Windows XP SP2, we see no compelling reason to upgrade. On the other hand, if you need a new computer right now, Windows Vista is stable enough for everyday use.
The decision for some small business users to upgrade to Microsoft Windows Vista once it becomes available in early 2007 will depend largely on what the new operating system can do for you and what hardware you have to run it on.
