SMB Tech News Today; 4/23

* PC games coming back. With all the attention going to the console wars, PC-based games seem to have been taking a hit. Turns out that's changing. Might it have something to do with consoles costing as much as PCs? (Source: NY Times)

* RIM readies client software. Hey, if Microsoft can do it for Exchange, the RIM guys figure they can do it for the Blackberry. Announced for later this year, so far confirmed to run on Windows Mobile 6. That's the easy road, tho. Be better for the non-Exchange-using world if they got it running on Palm and Linux, too. (Source: InfoWorld)

* Microsoft to double PCs by 2015. Another big goal from the guys in Redmond. Forget the spiraling economy. Forget global warming. Microsoft's going to double the number of PCs on people's desks in the next 8 years. (Source: InformationWeek)

* Your SMB successful? Take a lesson from David Hayden. A model of the dot-com entrepreneur, Hayden's in deep doo doo right now because the very people entrusted with his wealth are now looking to take him for all he's worth. (Source: NY Times)
