Are you running Internet Explorer 8?
What? That's right....IE 8. IE8 Beta 1 to be specific. I am running the Vista x64 edition and while I have only been running it for the better part of 3 days, I am pleased. There are some new features I have not had a chance to check out yet.

What is all this voice mail!?!?!?
I was in Riverside, CA today delivering a Technet session on Unified Communications and Office Communication server. I like demoing with live production environments when I can and usually I use my servers at home. I don't have a PBX or OCS installed
