In today's daily news podcast, we present a story on where Microsoft will first roll out its next-generation operating system, Vista (in Canada), as well as look into the skepticism that's building about whether Microsoft can actually pull off the launch.

In addition, we have an in-depth report on the best places to locate data centers, and the comments of the day are about how even remote parts of the country are becoming technically sophisticated enough to support technology companies.

Your host today is Alice LaPlante.
