		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve wrote previously about my Vista woes along with perhaps 99% of the rest of the planet&#8217;s population. Four weeks ago, I pieced together (literally) some older and newer components to build a new machine. Although on paper, its not all that much, but it blows away the old machine. Continuing the Vista plunge, I [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[It surprises me sometimes that so many Windows programmers are not using the .Net InterOp classes with MS Office. InterOp allows you to do so many things far easier and with builtin Intellisense to boot. Using techniques like ADO.NET to examine Excel spreadsheets for example is so outdated. They were the only way to get [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been playing around with this thing for a day now. I must say that its very snappy compared to the Vista that usually resides on the box.
My opinion is still not formed on it, but, it looks very promising. Hopefully over the weekend, I can really put it to some tests. Plus, I&#8217;ll be [...]]]></description>

So much has been written about Vista performance, I won&#8217;t rehash it here. I&#8217;ve tried all the [...]]]></description>

It strikes me as odd since they all are from AT&#38;T. Never mind that with BlackBerry Desktop Manager 4.3 installed, you can create a [...]]]></description>

After more research however, I&#8217;m glad I hesitated before plunking down my $125 application fee. Seems that not only [...]]]></description>
