In this week's report: New research shows that the United States is becoming a leader in a dubious category: the hosting of malware and spam. The U.S. was found to host 42 percent of the world's malware in the first three months of this year. That's a big jump from last year, when the U.S. housed less than one quarter of it. Also this week, CIO Insight editor Eric Chabrow talks about how a group of American CIOs on a recent tour of the Holy Land got some valuable IT leadership tips from observing how the Israel Defense Forces are organized. Hosted by Ashley Daley.

    Flying in the face of suggestions that computer science is not a viable career path, graduates saw sizable starting salary increases in 2007.
    With a demand for specialized skills, those IT workers with SAP and ERP skills are making the most money in 2007.
    News Analysis: We'll let you in on a little secret: the experts don't think that you really left your last job for more money.
    Driving up salaries for workers with the right mix of specialized skills, technology-based industries are expected to continue to face shortages of talent in 2007, according to a new market analysis.
