While it has been nearly three months since I moved from the role as product manager for Windows Server networking to the Exchange Server team , I still get the occasional opportunity to strut my old networking stuff. One such example is a recent article I co-authored with Amith Krishnan (product manager...

It's the Saturday following my week here in Kuala Lumpur (aka KL) and TechEd 2007 SEA (aka South East Asia). The week was a good time, and it was great to connect with the local 'softies, MVPs, partners, and of course, the regional customers. I delivered two sessions, both basically repeats of my sessions...

Once more, I'm plagued by horrifically poor bandwidth on the hotel network. After having dinner with Sean (aka Sean v6 ) at the Bahama Breeze , and dodging some hardcore downpours with lots of loud thunder and nearby lightening to boot, I returned to my humble temporary abode to check email, surf for...

The next few days in the US is Memorial Day weekend, also known as the unofficial start to summer. The means there will be plenty of barbeques, parties, and a Monday off.

I don't know. Seriously. I did happen to go to Plattsburgh State...

Following on to my posting from yesterday , the fine folks over in TechNet have published a Security Viewpoint article I wrote about our new " security client " solution offering.

In case you haven't noticed, there's a lot of cool news coming out of this week's TechEd IT Forum (NOTE: I can never work out how to stick that '·' thingy between the "Tech" and "Ed") event in Barcelona, Spain. The one that's most relevant to your humble blogger is the announcement of a public beta...

Last week I delivered two webcasts for the Windows Vista TAP program members on a number of "better together" networking scenarios when you have Windows Vista on the client and Windows Server "Longhorn" on the back end. Here's a link to one of the webcasts we recorded: Better Together: Windows Vista...

Thanks to a posting by my hall-mate and fellow S B TU'er Jeff Jones , I'm trying out the beta of Windows Live Writer for this blog entry. What's neat is it looks like Office OneNote (which I use to write most of my posts to begin with), but it can publish right to my blog. Moving on. We've just published...

So, it's been a while since I've had the chance to post to my blog. One of the reasons is I've been heads down working on some new content for our IPsec and Server and Domain Isolation offerings. One thing that keeps catching my attention, is that IPsec can be found spelled a number of different ways...

One of my colleagues on the Windows client security team was featured in a great article about the new Windows Firewall coming in Windows Vista and Longhorn Server. Check it out here: Microsoft Readies Two-Way Firewall for Vista You may wonder why I think this is so darn exciting...well, I'm...
