Last year Microsoft released Virtual PC 2004 as a free download. At the time I didn’t see much point. Today Microsoft announced it’s successor Virtual PC 2007 and, yes, it’s still free. Yeah you might be wondering about Microsoft’s motives in all this. So was Wired and this is what they had to say:

I got an e-mail from Tom Hodgers today. Remember him? Yeah he was one of our contest winners. It sounds like Tom has been getting into MindMager and told me about a really cool new MM add-on called ThemeReader. Here is how Mindsystems describes it:

Did you know the daylight savings time is coming a month early now? You bet, it starts in March now, not in April. So the big question is, is your computer ready for this change?
