This morning Microsoft has released a public beta of version 7 of their Internet Explorer web browser, aimed at developers, although I’m sure a lot of tech-savvy and adventurous users will download and install it as well.

On the most recent shipments of PCs that we received I noticed that Dell is has pre-loaded Google Toolbar and Google Desktop Search.  Also your IE homepage is defaulted to a modified Google Homepage.

I found it interesting that Dell and Google have a partnership that they have kept relatively quite.  I predict Microsoft will probably do the same with another manufacturer, maybe Gateway.

I am in the process of looking for a new backup solution.  We have several terabytes of data that we must backup.  We have Windows and Linux servers to backup.  We have data in flat files, MySQL, and Oracle databases that need to be backed up.  So far in my quest to find the best tape solution SpectraLogic is coming out on top.  Specifically their T50 solution.  I will be meeting with them soon and will post my opinions of their solutions.
