Microsoft shared a bit more information on the next client version of Windows at the Microsoft Global Exchange Conference in Orlando last week. The next version of Windows codename: Windows Seven (formerly: Vienna) will come in 32-bit and 64-bit version. Microsoft suggested that they will address both the consumer and the business segment with Windows Seven though no information on how many SKUs are going to be released.
Microsoft is also mulling the concept of how to extend Windows Seven into a subscription based service similiar to the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack (MDOP) currently offered to Software Assurance customers.

I have had my first generation MacBook Pro for just over a year now, it had been performing great. There were a few issues with the main logic board and the battery with the Mac but AppleCare in the UK had been extremely helpful and resolved those issues in a timely manner.
This is not the case with AppleCare in Hong Kong. I had a case where a white MacBook purchased on 27th January had speaker problem and the infamous stained top case problem. We called AppleCare which suggested us to bring it to an Authorised Service Provider in Hong Kong for repair.
