- MS Streets and Trips 2007
This map and trip maker is about the same as their previous versions except to my dislike, it no longer supports Windows 98, which happens to be the newest OP that my old lap top can use. It also still lists some restaurants that have been closed for two years. The street maps it produces are accurate, except for a few minor glitches.

Rating:

- Pretty good
The program is great. Sometimes the GPS is slightly off though. I'll be travelling on a major highway and all of the sudden it will tell me that I'm off route for no reason. Not really a big deal, just annoying. Other than that I recommend it as a cheaper version of a GPS sysytem if you own a laptop.

- Microsoft Streets and Trips[2007]
This is the second generation of this software I have owned. It is a great navagation tool, better than most online sites and can be used in the car.
I marvel at how up to date the roads shown are because in the Lexington, Kentucky area we have had a lot of new growth, with new streets and roads.
The software contains a lot of good eating and lodging places already placed on the map, so you don't have to do a separate search to find a place to eat or spend the night. Major points of interest are also on the map.

- Trip planner.
I use my Microsoft Streets and Trips software to plan my route, intermediate stops, and destination for any travel via automobile or truck. I am especially pleased with the ability to see and print a detailed guide for locating street addresses for those destinations with which I may be unfamiliar. This is especially helpful for delivery of items to a customer whose business may be on a relatively remote street in areas that are difficult to find.
I have tried a few other software systems that claim to do what Streets and Trips does, and I found none of those sustems could equal or even compete with Microsoft Streets and Trips 2007.

Sun in Trouble

Java Entrepreneur

Sun Microsystems has announced plans to cut between 5,000 and 6,000 jobs — that's between 15 and 18 percent of its workforce.

"It blamed the cuts on the global economic downturn, but I think that like many other companies, Sun is using the downturn as an excuse for what were pre-existing problems, foretold by its stock price, which seems to be in an unending swoon," suggests GigaOM's Om Malik.

"How much has Sun spent to develop Solaris or Java?" asks InfoWorld's Neil McAllister. "How much must it continue to invest in maintaining other products, which, despite being open source, have no appreciable development community? To say these products are not loss leaders suggests something akin to Hollywood accounting."

The answer? "Spin off Java," McAllister added in a later post. "Just get rid of it — farm it out to an industry consortium and let the companies that depend upon it manage it..."
