New Ducati Multistrada 1200


Ducati unveiled their new Sport Touring bike, the Multistrada 1200. The pictures are OK looking, I imagine seeing it in person will either make you fall in love or run away.

It appears to be a very flexible bike, and the specifications are impressive, so it might be a hit. No work yet on msrp.

Still impressed with windows 7 64bit, with 1 exception


My experience might be unique, but when I create 2 standard user accounts, they eventually end up with different permissions security settings on their user folders. This has happened on 3 different clean installs. The functionality does not seem to be affected though.



I was impressed - windows 7 recognized my HP L7680 AIO machine across a network with no work from my end! It took me about 2 days to get it to work across the network with XP.

I was also able to install canon zoom browser software 5.7 that was for XP, and it runs just fine.
