Rob Boirun is the author of www.burnworld.com which is an industry site around DVD and Blu Ray burning technologies. After working for GEAR software which makes a burning API for vendors such as Apple, Symantec, and others I decided that the web was missing out on some useful information around the optical recording industry, thus the site was created. The industry is shifting the way users receive digital content and I will be shifting the focus as well into more digital streaming, cloud storage, Blu-Ray, etc…

The Brief History of WindowsTalk
This is actually the fourth version of WindowsTalk.
The first version of WindowsTalk was not owned by me, but was started by a handful of Windows 98 beta testers in order to continue their association and Win98 support after the beta closed down. Several years ago I came into contact with this group, and by then, the content of the site was so old (XP was the current version of Windows at the time) that I suggested updating it. The offer was then made to purchase the windowstalk.org domain name so that I could manage the site myself. I readily agreed!
I then purchased a FrontPage template, got web hosting and WindowsTalk 2.0 was born in April 2005.
Eventually, I discovered blogging and found it much easier than maintaining a static website. So I set up a free account at Blogger and WindowsTalk Blog (WindowsTalk 3.0) went live in the summer of 2008.
Now, I have moved to WordPress on Host Gator and I hope WindowsTalk 4.0 will be here for many years to come. There have been some changes in the theme, however.
