Windows Vista Review [...]

We have a new TNPer! In episode 3, John is joined by Jordan: a Windows user, Linux dabbler, and do-it-yourself computer builder. (Paul was sick, so unfortunately he couldn’t join us.) In this episode we talk about Consumer Electronics Show stuff, like Microsoft Sync and Windows Home Server, and MacWorld stuff, namely the iPhone and Apple TV. And while on the topic of the latest Apple creations, we humorously envision what an Apple automobile might be like.

(Note from John: Due to the holidays, sickness, and a variety of other factors, this episode is just now being published despite the fact that it was recorded on December 23rd. Apologies.)

In episode 2, John and Paul discuss the Person of the Year award, mobile computing, Digg’s new podcast voting features, iTunes, and the perils of podcasting.

In the premiere episode, John and Paul discuss Microsoft’s Zune player vs. the iPod, Mac security vs. Windows security, Firefox vs. Internet Explorer 7, Firefox add-ons, webcams that track your sleep patterns, phishing as a job, paper-based storage systems, and Wingdings codes.

Correction: Users WILL be able to play iTunes music on Microsoft Zune players.
