The early success of the operating system notwithstanding, you need to do some due diligence up front to determine if the existing hardware and software you rely on will work with the new operating system. If you only have a handful of systems to assess the Windows 7 Upgrade Advisor should do the trick. For larger deployments, the more appropriate tool is the Microsoft Assessment and Planning Toolkit 4.0--or MAP.

For some, those two factors will offset the camera's mediocre image quality.

Exactly 30 minutes later, I was back in my car, with a splashy new Motorola Droid in hand. Now, after spending three days with the device, I feel prepared to offer my own take on the latest, and clearly greatest, Android phone. Robert Strohmeyer 2009-11-09T12:00:00-04:00 http://www.networkworld.com/news/2009/110909-finding-your-photos.html Recently, a friend of mine congratulated me for selling one of my wildlife photos. When I asked him what he meant, he sent me a link to a site that was prominently using a shot I had taken of some wolves. The problem? I had never given the site owners permission to use my photo, which they had "borrowed" from my Flickr page. I asked them to remove the photo, and they did--but not everyone out there is so reasonable. You can watermark your photos to prevent this sort of thing from happening. But is there any way to find your photos online to see they're being used inappropriately?

Jacqueline Emigh 2009-11-09T12:00:00-04:00 http://www.networkworld.com/reviews/2009/110909-mount-disk-images-as-virtual.html I expected Gizmo Drive (free) to be something like WinCDEmu, which sits quietly in the background and allows you to mount images as virtual CD/DVD drives. In the end, that's part of what Gizmo Drive turned out to be--but before that I was taken for a ride to a little world which I'm going to call Gizmo Land. Installing Gizmo Drive requires that you download the Gizmo software suite, which includes Gizmo Central (or Manager once it's installed) Gizmo Drive, Gizmo Script, Gizmo Database. Gizmo Editor, and Gizmo Hasher. There's also a Gizmo toolbar that sits in the system tray and provides shortcut access to programs (not just Gizmo modules). It's only 8MB in total, and some of it's pretty handy--but this is about Gizmo Drive. Jon L.
