If you’ve been putting off installing XP service pack 2 you’ve been putting it off since 17 September 2004. Well you’re not going to be able to put it off much longer. Support for XP and XPsp1 will end on 10 October 2006, 24 months after the release of sp2 as promised by Microsoft.

Windows Vista for TabletPC
03
Jul 2006
Microsoft has put up a page titled “Improve Your Tablet PC Experience with Windows Vista” covering how an upgrade to Vista will effect TabletPC features. “Flicking” seems to be the coolest feature.
“Flicks are gestures that help you to use your pen more effectively. A quick flick of the pen can scroll a window up or down or navigate forward and backward on the web. Flicks can also perform common actions such as copy, paste, delete and undo.”

Google Browser Sync
03
Jul 2006
Google Browser Sync is a Firefox extension that allows you to “continuously synchronize your browser settings – including bookmarks, history, persistent cookies, and saved passwords – across your computers”. Sounds like a good plan as long as you have control over all the computers involved (office and home for example) but isn’t a good solution for public computers or, possibly, the reference desk. I’ll continue to stick with Portable Firefox.
