For Outlook users who are always exceeding their mailbox quota: I wrote this for you .
I've recently experienced a problem in the CRM 4.0 client for Outlook (both the desktop/online and laptop/offline versions) where Outlook would inexplicably crash every 15 minutes (the default CRM synchronisation interval is 15 minutes). We had narrowed...
I've been dabbling with various different development projects recently and I've uncovered what I think is an important failing in Microsoft's support for 64-bit software. In Visual Studio, the default setting is to generate code for "Any...
Remember Clippy? Remember Office XP? It seems like the biggest selling point of Office XP is that Microsoft took away Clippy. Those office assistants were a pretty neat idea at the time, but are now regarded scornfully. How times change. I was cleaning...
Chris Rue has a stinging appraisal of Groove over at the funcave. "Groove has to be the worst software I’ve ever used in my life. [it] has the most idiotic user interface seen since cc:Mail. [...] To top it off, [...] this thing totally sucks at...
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I will begin. I've had fun migrating one particular company to a new server recently. It started out before Christmas as a simple redeployment swing migration, but what I didn't know when I started the job is...

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...
There are three types of mathematicians. Those who can add up, and those who can't. To see which type you are, open Microsoft Excel 2007 and type this formula: =77.1*850 Now try the same thing on your pocket calculator or abacus. [ UPDATE 9 October...
I've been tinkering with Groove 2007 a fair bit lately and I've slowly grown to appreciate its virtues to the point where I think it is the hidden jewel in the 2007 Microsoft Office System. Then when I installed it on my shiny new Core 2 Duo x64...
David Overton - someone well known to UK SBSC partners - has started publishing a series of demos on his blog. I've watched a couple of them and they are really good, concise SilverLight videos packed with useful hints and tips. These would be great...
Darren Strange aka The Office Rocker has a new guest blogger, Colin Ashurst from Durham Business School, who has nailed what I see as one of the biggest challenges facing companies today. Time and again I see computers being used as nothing more than...
