Gartner analyst Ray Valdes wonders how serious potential hardware partners will be about Chrome OS. Will netbook makers use Chrome OS as a bargaining chip to get better deals on Windows operating system licenses from Microsoft?<br/>   -

<description>
<![CDATA[Microsoft at PDC Nov. 18 shared some new ideas it's bringing to Internet Explorer 9. The company says it plans to make the browser more Web- and developer-friendly, while still maintaining the familiar Internet Explorer identity. That sounds nice, but in the end, Microsoft said very little about what it specifically plans to offer in IE 9.

Realizing that, we have decided to take a step back, evaluate Internet Explorer and try to determine what should make its way into the next version. It won't be an easy task. In recent years, Microsoft has made strides in the effort to improve Internet Explorer with its new Suggested Sites feature, as well as InPrivate, a security mode. But there is still much to be desired, and Microsoft has some heavy work ahead if it wants retain its dominant position in the browser space.  To help get the development project started, here are 10 features we really want to see in IE 9.<br/>   -  ...]]></description>

<description>
<![CDATA[Chrome OS is a sort of Web operating system that boots up a netbook in a fraction of the time it takes to start today's existing computers, with Web applications loading in just a few more seconds. Google is trying to make the Chrome OS load time closer to that of a television than a computer. To do that, Google cut out several computer booting processes, and Chrome OS is geared for Flash-based storage. Security is also unique. The Web apps will run on application tabs within Chrome OS, which users will access with one click and manage in persistent windows if they so desire. The first Chrome OS netbooks won't appear until 2010, going head to head with Microsoft Windows Azure devices.<br/>   -

<![CDATA[From 2003 through 2005, IBM veteran Erich Clementi helped lead the resurgence of the revamped IBM mainframe as general manager of the System z division. When obituaries were being written about the demise of the mainframe, Clementi and his team went off to rethink and redesign the old-fashioned Big Hunk computer. Now he's leading the all-encompassing cloud computing initiative.<br/>   -  
There's more than a little irony in the fact that Erich Clementi, the man
charged with looking into the future and identifying strategic initiatives for IBM,
