		<description><![CDATA[If you&#8217;ve been into a Dixons Group shop lately (i.e. PC World or Currys Digital), you&#8217;ll have seen the place festooned with posters and displays declaring that the arrival of Windows 7 means it&#8217;s &#8220;time for a new PC&#8221;.
From a marketing point of view, it&#8217;s an obvious message for Dixons to be pushing. But in [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve already received a couple of emails from readers asking why PC Pro hasn&#8217;t produced a Windows 7 review now that the RTM is officially out &#8211; and the reason is simple. We don&#8217;t want to rush to a verdict we may later regret.
To a certain extent, I think this happened with Windows Vista. Back [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Now that Microsoft&#8217;s done away with those silly E versions and decided to offer upgrade versions of Windows 7 in the UK, you might be wondering what versions of Windows can and can&#8217;t be upgraded.
Fortunately, Microsoft has produced a chart to show you what&#8217;s possible (click to enlarge):


Fetched your paracetamol, yet?
The chart confirms what we&#8217;ve known [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;ve downloaded an [cough] unofficial copy of the Windows 7 Release Candidate (Build 7100) here at PC Pro Towers. When compared to the beta build (7000) it appears to be the world&#8217;s most difficult &#8220;spot the difference&#8221; competition, but there are one or two subtle changes.
One notable omission in 7100 is Windows SideShow. It&#8217;s completely [...]]]></description>

It took mere hours for my baseline Vostro PC to be bettered, thanks in no small part to blog reader Tom A pointing me in the direction of Ebuyer&#8217;s pre-built PC section. There, for a penny-perfect £249.99 inc VAT and delivery, sat the Zoostorm Versatile Premium PC which now tops my shortlist.

A quick jump to the business section took me straight to Dell&#8217;s cheapest Vostro PC, which at £211.60 including VAT and delivery is well within my price limit. So what else can I squeeze into the remaining [...]]]></description>

But what I find particularly encouraging is not just the code itself, but what it [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The impact of the credit crunch has been widespread and well-publicised: Woolworths has seen more customers through its doors in the past week than it had in the past year thanks to a price-busting closing down sale, and banks are either collapsing or being nationalised at a fearsome rate.
As always, though, an economic downturn has [...]]]></description>

And the net effect? Surprisingly little. At this [...]]]></description>
