In this month's INNOVATE! Cybertary brings you some insight into all of the hub-bub surrounding the new Microsoft Windows Vista and dual core processors. Also, this month how to partner with Cybertary and delegate.

Enjoy!

2007 has arrived and with it comes the next operating system from Microsoft. Windows Vista is due to be on store shelves January 30th. It sports a very different visual "experience" and Microsoft touts loads of upgrades.

But is now the time for you to upgrade? Well, you will almost certainly have a compelling reason to upgrade eventually. Perhaps this will happen when you find yourself wanting a new piece of hardware that has no drivers for Windows XP. Or you may find yourself with a whole new computer, worthy of Vista features at a time when you are willing to tinker with the changes. Or perhaps the time will come when Windows XP is no longer available. It may be quite a while before any of these things occur.

What is a dual-core processor?
Dual-core processors combine two separate processors, along with their individual memory caches, on a single chip. This does not mean that your processor speed doubles. It means you have another processor to share the processing burden, which, for the most part, helps streamline your computer's performance when you're using multiple applications concurrently.

It's actually a little better than that sounds. Remember, Windows itself is a program, and so is your antivirus. Better still, lots of programs today (though not all) are capable of splitting up whatever they do into multiple separate threads that run at the same time.

Dual-core processors will not help you type faster, send email quicker, or generally improve your personal work performance. It will increase the processing speed of your computer, which will make it run more efficiently.
