Latest news in the rapidly-developing world of Internet TV: ABC is putting Desperate Housewives, Lost, Commander in Chief, and Alias up as free Webcasts, the day after their broadcast premieres. You'll be able to jump from chapter to chapter, but--he...
Another day, another significant development on the running-Windows-on-an-Intel-Mac front: Parallels, which makes virtualization software for running multiple operating systems on one computer, is releasing a <a href="http://www.parallels.com/en/down...
Well, this is interesting: Apple has released a beta of a new utility called Boot Camp--which lets you install Windows XP on an Intel-based Mac, then dual-boot between XP and Mac OS X. Until this morning, putting Windows on a Mac was a quirky hack; n...
For ages, PC World's annual cover stories on the Web's best freebies were newsstand blockbusters. And then an odd thing happened: We quit doing them. The planet's supply of no-charge gems seemed to be dwindling, as some acquired price tags and others...
"Microsoft Updates Windows Vista Road Map." That press release title is a pretty innocuous phrasing of a great big bombshell: Vista will miss the holiday season. Despite the press release's cheery statement that the product is "on track," it's slip-s...

So the rumors are true: Microsoft is saying that it'll release six different editions of Windows Vista when the OS--due to show up late this year--arrives. (Actually, there will be twelve versions, since everything will be available in both 32- and 6...
I checked back--and <a href="http://pages.google.com/">Google Page Creator</a> is indeed live, at least at the moment. It's a very, very simple Web-site designer that works in your browser. That's not a new idea (CoffeeCup did something along the sam...
I've been remiss in not mentioning ZohoWriter, a free browser-based word processor which, like Writely, offers a rich, fast-evolving set of tools. (Both ZohoWriter and Writely, like most serices built using AJAX techniques, offer desktop-like speed a...
