In today's daily news podcast, we detail an apparent slip in the planned shipment date for Microsoft Windows Vista, as well as Bill Gates' assertions on the ongoing value of the PC platform. We also review survey results on the American public's confidence about data protection and explain how a sophisticated international crackdown has nailed hundreds of crooks, including those that ply their trade on the Internet. The comments of the day offer some unsolicited advice to Microsoft on Vista.

Your host today is Tom Smith.
