Apple released its financials last week, and 2006 was a very, very good year for the company. However, its forecast suggests that 2007 may be starting out as one of Apple's worst years this decade. Vista is now within two weeks of launching. I've been using it for some weeks now, and there are some things you'll probably like. Finally, in going over my notes from CES, I recalled there were some rather interesting products that may have been overlooked.
