I'm curious how many Microsoft Partners are/are not deploying Windows Vista. I've started a discussion thread at the SBSC group on LinkedIn . If you're not already a member of that group, please take this opportunity to join if you are SBSC qualified.

I have taken on a new customer this week and they have an interesting business that deals with energy (gas and electricity), measuring consumption with smart meters and ultimately using less of it to reduce your carbon footprint and save money. They showed me a neat little box that measures the power...

The 2008 launch wave is gaining momentum. Microsoft announced a few hours ago that both Windows Vista Service Pack 1 and Windows Server 2008 have been released to manufacturing. Windows Vista service pack 1 will likely impact most users in the short term. At TiGra Networks, we've been actively involved...

The recent spate of announcements from the government and others regarding "lost" confidential information has really annoyed me. I'm so angry because every shipped business edition of Windows since 2000 has included encryption technology that was easy to use. Just a few clicks could have...

Plenty of people find User Account Control (UAC) a bit annoying - Like Paul at Accendo for example. However, I think it is worth living with. Yes, it is slightly annoying, but generally I'm anticipating the prompt when it does happen, either because I clicked on a button displaying the Shield icon...

I was reading an article by David Overton , a Microsoft employee whose opinions I really respect. Of course, being a Microsoft employee he is always keen to play up the benefits of Microsoft's products, but I think he manages to do so in a fair and reasonable way and his comments are always rooted...

I'm getting a bit concerned about Microsoft's support for 64-bit operating systems. Just been talking to Vijay about Windows Live Writer and how it will not install on his Vista x64 system . Odd, since I am running it on my x64 system and typing this blog post with it. It turns out I am one beta...

Did you know, Intel Core 2 Duo processors are 64-bit! I'm running Windows Vista x64 on one right now as I type this post. I mention this because I've spoken to a lot of people recently who don't seem to realize that. SBSCs, that means, unless I've seriously misunderstood something - you...

Apple Safari for Windows: The world's slowest web browser - Joel on Software Joel Spolsky is someone whose writings I respect greatly, but I had to chuckle when I read Joel's latest blog post - it started well but then sort of got away from him. Despite the "blog first, think later"...

Acer has released an update kit for Windows Vista that covers most of its desktop and notebook computers. About time too! I've been running Vista for several months now and have lost much of the functionality of my soft buttons and automatic screen rotation when using as a tablet. Using some of the old...

After the theft from an employee's home of a laptop computer last year containing confidential customer data, the Nationwide Building Society has been fine £980,000 by the Financial Services Authority (FSA).

I have a great idea for how you can get a free copy of Windows Vista. Just visit your nearest branch of PC World, pick up a copy off the shelf and walk out without paying for it! At this point, you are either considering doing something illegal (in which case you're on your own - go get yourself arrested...

Vijay linked to this article where the BBC's business editor has written an open letter to Bill Gates complaining that his new Windows Vista installation stops him doing his job. I have a certain amount of sympathy with people experiencing upgrade pains, but I'm not sure it's really fair to blame Microsoft...
