AS PROMISED, the Radeon 9600 Mobility shipped in its first commercial product Gericom Overdose Radeon 9600 15" TFT, which looks like one powerful notebook machine. Gericom, an Austrian firm, has a notebook using a configuration based on the Pentium 4 2.2 GHz chip, the SIS chipset and the Radeon 9600 Mobility with 64 or 128MB of memory.

It also has a 60GB hard drive, DVD recorder, modem, LAN card, and sound and costs €1760. Gericom is already shipping these machines and selling it from its web site, where you can tweak the configuration. The machine weighs 2.5Kg which isn't a bad weight for would-be road warriors.

Here is a snip from the May 7th "Changes in Internet Explorer for Windows Server 2003" chat at MS

Host: Brian (Microsoft)
Q: when / will there be the next version of IE?

A: As part of the OS, IE will continue to evolve, but there will be no future standalone installations. IE6 SP1 is the final standalone installation.

Host: Rob (Microsoft)
Q: What's the long-term outlook for IE as a development platform? Are there major limitations planned for future releases (such as in Longhorn) due to security reasons? I know that this is a concern to many developers that rely on IE technology.

A: Security continues to be a top priority. The platform will change for longhorn but you can expect the client, where folks need to browse, to not be as restrictive as the server. I encourage folks to get involved in our beta program to help us evolve the platform

Host: Brian (Microsoft)
Q: Why is this? the anti-trust? (no further standalone)

A: Although this is off topic, I will answer briefly: Legacy OSes have reached their zenith with the addition of IE 6 SP1. Further improvements to IE will require enhancements to the underlying OS.
