*	If you were thinking you could migrate your Adobe apps from XP to Vista, think again. Adobe [posted a statement yesterday][1] (PDF) saying that it has no plans to update its existing line of products, including Photoshop, InDesign, and Dreamweaver, for Windows Vista. Instead the company suggests upgrading to the new CS3 suite which is expected to be released later this month.

*	Speaking of Vista, Microsoft has [announced a change to the Vista licensing agreement][3]. Reversing an earlier stance, Microsoft says it will allow those who purchase a boxed copy of Vista and then upgrade to a more expensive version to move that upgraded edition to other machines.

*	Google is [beta testing a new "pay-per-action" advertising scheme][4]. Under the new system, which is in limited testing mode, advertisers only pay when a consumer takes a specific action, for instance, makes a purchase, fills out a form or visits a web page. The new program is designed to combat problems with click fraud in Google existing adwords program.
