TUWP #6 (Part 1) - Windows Alive + Special Series

The Unofficial Windows Podcast Episode #6 PART 1

DO NOTE THAT THIS IS THE FIRST PART OF EPISODE 6. This is my longest episode ever, in fact, so long that GarageBand was unable to render it all in a single audio file, hence the part 1 & 2 split! In episode 6, the main issues I talked about are Windows Live Hotmail and Live SkyDrive, and in part 2, I started on my special series on system maintenance by talking about security software. A bit of digression at the start when I talked about Nokia, Comex and Apple, sorry couldn't resist the urge!

TUWP #2 - WWDC 2007: What Does It Mean For Windows?

The Unofficial Windows Podcast Episode #2

In this second episode, I talked about Apple's recent Worldwide Developers Conference regarding Apple organizing sessions for Windows developers and the latest Safari 3 beta web browser which is now available on Windows as a free download.

Mistake I made: Leopard is the sixth version of OS X, not fifth. My apologies.
