Will Vista and Windows Server 2008 really be better together?
After Windows Server 2008 launches, Microsoft�s pitch will be that the combination of Vista SP1 on the desktop and Windows Server 2008 on the back-end will be preferable to running either product by itself.

- Apple MacBook Air Core 2 Duo 1.6 GHz Full Review �
-
- The good: Incredibly thin yet surprisingly sturdy; new touchpad gesture controls are very useful; remote optical drive makes living without a built-in drive much easier. The bad: Very limited connectivity; slower than other MacBooks; SSD hard-drive option is ridiculously expensive and standard hard drive is small; battery is not replaceable. The bottom line: The design is revolutionary, but Apple's MacBook Air will appeal to a smaller, more specialized audience than the standard MacBook, thanks to a stripped-down set of connections and features.
