<p>Device Stage is a very idealistic concept which aims to simplify the way people interact with devices in Windows 7. Microsoft&#8217;s idea is to have one place for managing all your external devices and interacting with them. Unfortunaly hardware manufacturers need to develop drivers which actually take advantage of this feature. And so far, not many of them have done this.</p>
<p>This article explains what this feature is, how it works and how you can use it for the devices that actually work with it.</p>

<p>The Christmas shopping season is now starting and many of you will consider buying a new laptop or netbook. If this is the case for you, then do consider this very <a href="http://www.squaretrade.com/htm/pdf/SquareTrade_laptop_reliability_1109.pdf">interesting study</a> on laptop and netbook reliability. It covers the reliability of laptops up to 3 years since purchase for all the major vendors (including Apple) and the reliability of netbooks up to a year since purchase. The study has some very surprising conclusions and, most likely you will be suprised to learn that HP is the worst in terms of laptop reliability while ASUS &amp; Toshiba are the first. One conclusion that did not surprise me was that, one year in, netbooks fail 20% more often than laptops.</p>
