Got a large business? Buying lots of PCs this summer? Don't get too excited about the upgrade coupons that Vista-equipped computers are now coming with. Microsoft is limiting the number of free upgrades to which any business is entitled to 25 copies, according to a story in InformationWeek.

She was not comfortable with this, and questioned the value of such an exercise. “Trust me,” Eugene had said, “I want you to realise how vulnerable one can be facing a camera.” It was to be a turning point. Eugene might not have known, but it was this ‘vulnerability’ that Dayanita Singh chose to explore as her medium.It was as a curator of the show “Positive Lives” an exhibition on people’s responses to HIV/AIDS that I was first introduced to Dayanita’s work. As I looked through the archives at the respected Network Agency, I saw competent photo essays on sex workers in India. The work did not excite me. India, was known for its exoticism, its misery, its otherness.
