via Allison Pauli, Partner Marketing, Windows Server Solutions: Get Ready for the Windows Essential Server Solutions Launch with Technical Training Series The November 12, 2008 launch for Windows Essential Server Solutions is fast approaching! Prepare...
I really like Windows DreamScene, I think it is a really cool feature of Windows Vista Ultimate, especially if you add StarDock DeskScapes . It’s just unfortunate that it is afraid of its own shadow. The slightest little problem and DreamScene commits...
I'm proud to announce that Microsoft has renewed my Most Valuable Professional award for 2008/9. Once again my competency is Windows Server System - Small Business Server. There are currently (as of today, according to the MVP web site) about 55 such...
Move over Minesweeper! I received a link to this from my MVP lead and I'm hooked, despite the blatant advertising. The cleverly done retro-chic "plinky plonky" music, chunky graphics and office politics takes me straight back to the early...
What a radical idea. Microsoft has put all the Sysinternals utilities together in a single web folder, where you can easily download them all in one hit, or simply execute them directly from the web server, no fuss, no pfaff. From the Readme file: What...

Microsoft has launched its World Wide Telescope project , a free downloadable education/science application from Microsoft Research. This interesting project brings together lots of disparate data sources and also references another technology that I...
Today, Microsoft formally announced availability of Windows Small Business Server 2008 and Windows Essential Server 2008, their server offerings for small- and medium-sized businesses, respectively. Pricing Although at face value, the price of Small Business...
I was just saying to someone the other day how "Windows Ultimate Extras" had been a disappointment and that I'd have been left wanting if that had been my main reason for using Windows Vista Ultimate. Today I noticed that there are some...
I'm convinced that Silverlight 2.0 (currently in beta) is going to be the biggest thing to come out of Microsoft this year. Amid all the hype of the 2008 launch wave, Silverlight is almost getting overlooked, but to me, Silverlight is going to be...
I was using Virtual Earth today at maps.live.com when I tried to switch into 3D mode and received this message, shortly followed by a UAC prompt as Virtual Earth tried to automatically upgrade me to a beta version of the software. I didn't want to...
