Computing Gadget: Shuttle D10 Desktop PC Comes with Built-in Monitor

Shuttle_D10b.JPGYeah, we have computers with LCD displays already–they’re called laptops. But if you ever wondered how a conventional desktop PC would look like with a built-in display, then wonder no more. Shuttle D10, which was introduced a couple of months ago, is slated for a release in Japan this week.

As you can see on the picture, there’s an embedded seven-inch display on the body of the desktop PC itself. It’s a touch LCD display, but its resolution is a mere 800×400 pixels, so if you intend to seriously use the computer, you still have to attach a monitor to it. For prices starting under $500, you get a choice among Core 2 Duo E4000 series, E2000 series, or Celeron 400 series CPU, 2GB to 4GB of DDR2, 5.1 Channel Audio Support, and four USB ports.

Computing: Microsoft releases Virtual PC 2007 SP1

Microsoft has released a new version of its free virtualization sotware with support for the latest Microsoft operating system updates. Virtual PC 2007 SP1 includes support for Windows Vista SP1 and Windows XP SP3 as host and guest operating systems. That means you can run the virtualization environment if you’re using those operating systems, or if you want to emulate them. Microsoft also threw in Windows Server 2008 Standard for good measure.

Like its predecessor, Virtual PC 2007 SP1 does not officially support Windows XP Home Edition or Windows Vista Home Premium or Home Basic. But for the most part, it will run just fine on those operating systems. You will, however, get a warning message telling you that you’re using an unsupported OS when you install the software.
