The Washington Post reports that US president Obama's team is having problems moving into the Whitehouse. The team, responsible for an extremely high-tech campaign, is faced with, "computers outfitted with six-year-old versions of Microsoft software" rather than Macs.

Team members also had to set up Gmail accounts in order to communicate with the outside world.

According to Obama spokesman, Bill Burton, "It is kind of like going from an Xbox to an Atari". We're sure he meant this in a negative manner - but we're not sure if he's quite up to date with the new fangled Xbox 360.

We hope the new president and his family have at least one socket into which he can plug his Wii though. How else will he be able to show off his bowling skills?
