Is your ISP patched against the DNS cache poisoning ( US CERT advisory ) exploit? There are confirmed attacks in the wild . My ISP is patched. I asked them, and actually got an intelligent response. They escalated my ticket and a day later came the response...
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...
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...

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...
After what seems like forever (I've been beta testing since May 2006), Microsoft Office Accounting 2008 is finally available in the UK, along with the Microsoft Professional Accountants’ Network (MPAN) . The basic (yet capable) edition is free to...

I couldn't possibly do a better job than Richard Evans in describing the impact that Robbie Upcroft has had on the UK Small Business Specialist Community. Richard mentions meeting Robbie for the first time at the inaugural meeting of SBS Midlands...
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...
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...
