Q. We have many computers connected to the web, How can I have full access or authorized access to these computers, by using additional softwares, or without is possible?
A. I'd recommend using VNC (eg. http://www.realvnc.com/). It lets you remotely control a computer - viewing and interacting with it as if you were sat at the desk in from of it. The computers can be of differnt types - VNC is available on Windows, Linux and Macs, so you can, for example, use a Windows computer at home to access a Linux or Mac at work. VNC is available for free.
What problems do I face upgrading to Windows 7 from Vista XP?
Q. what conflicts can I expect with software, hardware, etc? just want to prepare myself because I know this isn't going to be a piece of cake!
A. 1) Windows 7 still has all the security of a drunken teenager in a sports car. From Windows for Workgroups and NT 3 until today, Windows is a security joke. It used to be that running Windows just put your head into the noose. Now, millions of lazy Windows users are the reason why the Internet is a mess. If you already do all the right things to keep XP running safely, you're not going to get any safer by buying Windows 7.
2) Windows 7, no matter how you buy it, is expensive. Does your budget have the extra cash to buy a new and improved taskbar!?
3) Upgrading from XP to Windows 7 will require that you do a clean install. That means everything on your hard disk gets vaporized during the 'upgrade." Vista users have it easier. So long as they're moving from equivalent version to equivalent version or to Windows 7 Ultimate they can update without needing to rebuild their systems.
There are lots of ways, like Microsoft's own Windows Easy Transfer and I'm sure there will be many more, to migrate your data from your old system to your new one, but all of them take work. If you have a business with dozens to tens-of-thousands of Windows PCs you can count on a honking, huge upgrade bill.
4) Did you notice what I didn't say above? I didn't mention transferring your old programs and device drivers from XP to Windows 7. For that, Easy Transfer and most of the first generation of migration programs are of no help at all. You'll need to reinstall your old programs and device drivers. Then, you'll need to update all those programs and drivers. Doesn't that sound like fun? Doesn't that sound like hour after hour per PC of migration work?
5) XP already works. I can tell you chapter and verse on why you'd be better off running desktop Linux or put a Mac on your desk. Most of you though are happy running XP. If that's you, I'll be darned if I can think of a single, significant change that you'll get from running Windows 7 instead of XP.

What drawing tablet would be ideal for an artist who has never done digital art before?
Q. Hi, I'm 19 and plan on becoming an art major but, I was told that I need to learn digital art. So what is a good tablet for me to start out with? I am a mac user if that changes anything. Please let me know the price if you can thanks :).
A. Wacom Bamboos are pretty popular for beginners to digital art.
If you have money to burn, you can always get an Intuos. I'd recommend the 6x9" version (medium), as it is a nice balance between size and functionality. Personally I find the large to be a bit unwieldy. They are pretty well built, and I've had mine for several years and it still works fine despite me abusing it by using it as a dinner table at my desk, so the investment would be worth it if you price is no object.
But yeah, the Wacom Bamboo is their entry level model and it is pretty popular for beginners.
You will have to map the usable area of the tablet to the same aspect ratio as your monitor, though I think their new software driver does this automatically (not 100% sure).
There are other brands as well and some are probably pretty good (check out Amazon.com), but Wacom is the only brand I have had experience with (and it is also the most popular in the industry as well).
