The Clickless Presentation: Do you give a lot of presentations using MS PowerPoint? Even more, what do you do if you have to move backward in your presentation? If you're only trying to move a slide or two back, you either have to use your keyboard or you have to go through the hassle of maneuvering your mouse and so on. All you need is a mouse with a scroll wheel and the realization that the scroll wheel will do all of the work for you. Simply scroll the wheel down to advance the presentation and scroll upwards to return to the previous slide.

Microsoft struggles with Vista's perceptions: In the 15 months since Windows Vista had its mainstream launch, Microsoft says it's made progress on a number of key metrics: things like application compatibility, availability of drivers, performance, reliability, and battery life. But there is one area where the company has struggled to gain ground: how Vista is perceived. Microsoft has been trying different ways to promote Windows Vista, including a special pink edition in Japan that combines Vista Home Premium with Windows Live OneCare. In terms of absolute sales, Vista has done well. More than 140 million computers have been sold with the operating system. But looking at that figure alone ignores the continued lackluster response that Vista gets from media and analysts, as well as the continued demand from businesses for the operating system's predecessor, Windows XP. Microsoft is going on the PR offensive this week, trying to make the case to the press that Vista is getting a bad rap. Top executives have conceded that compatibility was not where it needed to be at Vista's launch. The company tries to track what the odds are that an XP user will find that all the hardware and software they use today will work with Vista. Currently, it's above 90 percent, excluding truly old devices like TWAIN scanners and devices that connect to outdated ports. That number, though, can be deceiving. Although the latest versions of most programs work with Vista, many consumers and small businesses use older versions of programs. That adds to the cost of switching to Vista. The notion that the answer is providing another extension for computer makers to keep selling Windows XP. Microsoft already extended the deadline for large computer makers once, allowing sales through June 30, as opposed to ending them this past January. The software maker also granted a more narrow extension, allowing XP to be used on ultralow-cost computers through 2010.
