There are reports this week that IPv6, the ‘Next Generation Internet’ is suffering from some poor support in Windows Vista. Carolyn Duffy Marsan at Network World gets some great detail on the story. Apparently, it’s all about IPv4 and IPv6 not playing well together: the recommendation is that IPv6 be removed from workstations for the time being.
Microsoft has released an updated version of the Windows Mobile Device Centre, fixing a problem which prevented the latest WM6 devices from properly syncing with Vista. No more having to type in your PIN every time you try to sync!
LogonStudio has long been a popular way to customise the way your Windows login screen looks. They’ve got a new version out for Vista and the guys at WinCustomize.com have put together a nice guide to the new app.
Finally, some good news for Mac OS X Tiger users. Apple have revealed the latest version of their Boot Camp, the utility which allows users with the latest Macs to boot into Windows. Beta 1.3 includes some bugfixes, better support for Vista, improved graphics drivers, improved support for international keyboards and… that’s about it. Also updated is the popular alternative, Parallels, which lets users run alternative operating systems from their Mac OS desktop without restarting. The new version includes better CPU and RAM handling, but most importantly the new SmartSelect technology that allows seamless integration of Windows applications into the Mac OS environment.
