Yeah its true! Microsoft has confirmed that Windows Vista is the last 32bit version of Windows for desktops. Windows Sever 2008 and its ‘release 2? will be the last 32 bit for server. After that no more 32bits from Microsoft’s side!
Means that if you have Pentium 4 and Core Duo ( Pentium D) without Extended 64 support then you’ll need to stick with Vista forever else you will need to update to test forthcoming Windows from Microsoft. Microsoft will slowly transit into 64bit in 2008 because they have realized the benefits of 64-bit computing.

I came across this amazing phone-based application today. If you have a smartphone or pocket PC, this application is one of those must-haves.
It’s called Metro and as the name suggests, it lists details pertaining to transport (rail), places of interest and route maps of about 360-odd cities around the globe. Running the client application from your phone, you can install city packs as and when you need them. These city packs can even be updated if your phone has Internet connectivity.
If found it to be overwhelmingly complete and entirely useful. Check it out here: http://metro.nanika.net/
If you travel often or just need to know transport information about your city, this is a tool you won’t be able to live without.
