Whether you believe all the science or not, the Copenhagen Climate Agreement is getting a massive amount of attention from the world’s media. We have our own perspective on that, especially given the fact that IT is to be included on the agenda, potentially having carbon credits for emission-reduction IT projects in developing countries . Another one in the news recently is The City, with bonuses for RBS staff and Goldman Sachs having ring-fenced huge amounts for their bonus pool

One data point however stands out in this sea of numbers, and that’s the one that shows how upgrading from Vista to Windows 7 (32-bit) where the system has 650Gb of data and 40 applications could take as long as 1215 minutes on mid-range hardware.

This should come as no surprise to Hardware.com customers; we have been informing our client base of the upgrade to G6 and the advantages of doing just this. Hardware.com was the second to announce the new G6 server range when it was launched in April 09, HP asked us not to pre-empt their official launch so hp.com was the first.

It creates action and motion, and motion in some direction is often better than no motion at all

We have all heard the news stories about civil servants losing sensitive public data on laptops that that have been left on trains and in taxis – and this HP security development was created as a result of the embarrassments in Whitehall.
