I remember loving the "Starstormers" series by Nicholas Fisk... aged around 9 or 10. I don't think it's the most fantastic quality writing, but it was gripping stuff at the time.

A Majority of Businesses Will Not Move To Vista 378

oDDmON oUT writes "An article on the Computerworld site quotes polling results from a potentially-divisive PatchLink survey. The poll shows that the majority of enterprise customers feel there are no compelling security enhancements in Windows Vista, that they have no plans to migrate to it in the near term and that many will 'either stick with the Windows they have, or turn to Linux or Mac OS X'. A majority, 87%, said they would stay with their existing version of Windows. This comes on the heels of a dissenting view of Vista's track record in the area of security at the six month mark, which sparked a heated discussion on numerous forums."
