Ok so it’s now a recession, even the morning radio station said so but still the IT world seems to rumble on, new products are launched. Even Windows experts are thinking that we will see Windows 7 by August next year. In fact in the review on the windows super site the comparison between Windows 7 and Vista is likened to Winxp and Win2000 so hopefully improvements all around. This really brings me around to the challenge for us as educators and me for IT support how can we continue to add new stuff when we haven’t really got people on board with the old stuff. Do we just stick with Windows xp or do we cut the cord and say the change is coming get used to it?

I guess we should be used to innovation as the quote below demonstrates but I have to say my Delicious links are getting somewhat out of hand (thanks to achurches for keeping them coming though) but I do look forward to the challenges that the next few months will bring.
