I am fascinated by the new Gateway One ZX190 desktop computer. It is a cool product from Gateway which features a large display ultra bright screen, sleek design, powerful hardware specs and other new things stuffed into it. The hardware itself already looks so cool and when loaded with Windows Vista, you get yourself one elegant and powerful box.
The product is described by Gateway as follows:
Never before has the PC world seen such beauty and power in one machine. The technological marvels of the Gateway® One include a sleek all-in-one design featuring an integrated 19” widescreen, Genuine Windows Vista® Home Premium, Intel® dual-core processing2, a no-clutter environment (thanks to wireless connectivity and a revolutionary power module), and a “hidden” speaker system delivering eight-channel hi-fi audio via cutting-edge NXT SoundVu technology. Interact with your friends with a 1.3 megapixel webcam; transfer files from your digital devices and burn personalized disks with the slot-loading SuperMulti drive. A Media Center remote control allows you to manage and share your digital library. Say, need more filespace? Open the back panel, pop in a second hard drive: Done. It’s just one way the One was designed to be the one for you.

The next big frontier for Big Linux Build-out will be at a back end that’s as close as anyone can get the front lines of big video production. That is, to consumers who are now also producers. And the parties in the best position to pioneer that frontier aren’t in Seattle or Mountain view. They’re in your home town.

There are problems installing iTunes 7.5 on a 64-bit Vista after Quicktime gets installed successfully. The problem could be because iTunes wants to install in an unsecured setting that is why they want VBScript to be enabled.
To enable VBScript simply type “regsvr32 vbscript.dll” in the command console. Just make sure you run the console in administrator elevated privileges. Also, make sure you disable it after installing iTunes with “regsvr32 /u vbscript.dll” command.
After enabling the VBScript, issue the following commands in the command prompt:
1. mkdir “c:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime”
2. mklink /d “c:\Program Files\QuickTime” “c:\Program Files (x86)\QuickTime”
That should solve your problem.
