I rarely wade into the affairs of politics or religion. But this morning is one of those rare occasions and in some respects it has attributes of both. No, we aren’t talking about the war in Iraq or Afghanistan. Instead, we are talking about the sad state of affairs in the USA. Daniel Lyons , the author of “ The Secret Diary of Steve Jobs ” puts some of the problems in the USA on full display in a rant that is very worth reading. The subject of the rant is AT&T and you

I am going to start selling off some of the stuff taking up space in my drawers and home office. Some of this stuff is in mint condition so be sure and let me know if you have any questions. All of the photos are just stock photos from the internet. If you are concerned about wear and tear on any of the items, let me know and I’ll take a few pictures with my digital camera. My wife has an ecommerce site for her costume business so I created a section there so I could easily take

Windows 7 sure got the attention of a lot of you this week, but let’s not forget big brother, Windows Server 2008 R2 also shipped the release candidate. Considering Hyper-V is a core tool for me and many of you, I was eager to download and install the RC bits on my Lenovo ThinkPad T61p. The good news is that many of the core drivers you’ll want, install directly from the Windows Server 2008 R2 RC DVD. These drivers are known as “inbox” drivers. A couple of drivers will also flow

Sometimes it’s fun to get out on the bleeding edge of technology. Sometimes not. It’s decision time for the Sprint U300 I have. Keep it and hope Sprint updates Sprint SmartView to work with Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, or return it now and revisit it later this year when they light up the Dallas area with 4G high speed coverage. I think the smart money is on the return. I tested three of the five operating systems I need this device to work with. It works on Windows Vista Enterprise SP1

Breaking News: The IT Manager Community Hub is LIVE! Spread the word! For several months now, I’ve been working with people in the Microsoft BMO on this project, which started because of a recognition that IT Managers – people who lead IT people and run IT organizations – haven’t been served as well as they could be from Microsoft. We’ve heard you loud and clear! If you’re an IT Manager, or even if you’re simply looking for a good starting place for answers to questions such as: “How do I start

I'm sure at this point you're tired of hearing about my trials and tribulations in the world of cell phones. I can't say I blame you. It's time to move on to more important things like Windows 7 Beta 1, Windows Server 2008 R2 betas, and some of the other goodies we have in the virtualization pipeline. If you read the bottom of the Samsung Omnia post , you saw that I returned the device and have settled on the Sprint Palm Treo 800w as my device of choice for the next 12 months. I ended

Сегодня первый день Professional Developer Conference 2008 — главного мероприятия Microsoft, посвящённого объявлению новых технологий. И наконец в открытых источниках начали появляться сведенья о возможностях второй версии Hyper-V. Понятное дело, что список этот ни в коем случае не претендует на завершённость. Ведь во-первых, он всё ещё не был объявлен официально. А во-вторых, что важнее, на текущем этапе разработки проект ещё может претерпеть весьма значительные изменения. Поэтому воспринимайте

I have a Palm Treo Pro arriving tomorrow. It was a pretty tough decision to purchase the device. The primary reason is because it is an expensive device. But in the end the funding came through in some unexpected ways so I made the plunge. A little over a year ago, I managed to luck into a free Palm Treo 750 . We were at TechReady which is the internal training we go to each year. At one of the Exchange meetings, the Palm folks handed out brand new Palm Treo 750’s

Пару дней назад мы начали разговор о Network Teaming. Сначала поговорили о том, что это вообще такое, зачем может понадобиться и как относятся к этой технологии разные производители и поставщики. Затем рассмотрели общий случай — включение Network Teaming с помощью утилиты, поставляемой производителем сетевых адаптеров. Сегодня речь дошла и до более частного примера. Ни для кого не секрет, что крупные производители серверов часто используют готовые компоненты, произведённые третьими сторонами. Так,

Вчера мы начали разговор про Network Teaming и пообещали поделиться работающими методами создания отказоустойчивых сетевых подключений. Для начала рассмотрим самый общий случай. В абсолютное большинство современных серверов встроены сетевые адаптеры, основанные на наборе микросхем производства компании Broadcom Corporation. Именно под этим именем определит новое устройство свежеустановленная ОС Windows. Но фирма-производитель сервера иногда дает такому адаптеру свое собственное название, чтобы интегрировать

Кто поддерживает Network Teaming и почему? Известно, что сама Microsoft никогда не поддерживала конфигурации с использованием Network Teaming. Причин для этого несколько. Существует слишком большое количество различных конфигураций, и проверить их все было бы весьма накладно. Продукты, реализующие Network Teaming, по историческим причинам поставляются именно производителями оборудования. Поэтому именно они и поддерживают свои решения — ведь прямого способа влияния на это ПО у Microsoft нет. По внутренней

I recently had the opportunity to take a look at the Lenovo ThinkPad W500 (model 4061-2KU). This machine is really similar to my ThinkPad T61p in many ways, but there are some improvements that have been made in some key areas. Click the image at right for a high resolution image of the ThinkPad W500. Video The W500 I received has the “switchable graphics.” What this really means is that is contains two video chipsets and you can swtich back and forth between them. The W500

Regardless of the hiccups today on activation of the Apple iPhone 3G, you have to hand it to Apple and at&t on what appears to be a pretty decent product launch. I mean after all, how many people played “sick” or “hookie” today in order to stand in line all day and buy an iPhone? Let’s see, what was the temperature at the Apple store today in Southlake, Texas where I live today? 101 degrees baby. What was the temperature of my home office today where I was at? 74-75.

I’ve been listening to our customers a lot lately. I get a lot of good feedback here, but it’s no substitute for the direct frank conversations we’ve had at the live events, launch events and conferences like MMS or TechEd. One of the complaints I’ve been hearing more and more is centered around our content. The crux of the complaint is that we aren’t real world in the demos we do on webcasts, screencasts, live events, hands on labs, etc. As much as I’d like a raised floor data center

Everyone has a blog, including my dog . For the past few years the debate on whether blogs are journalism has been discussed. Are they? What’s the difference in writing for a magazine or online publication and a blog? Someone checks the facts? There’s an editor to uphold the reputation of the publisher? Well it seems times are a changin. Normally I don’t care to think about it much until someone forwards me a link to an article that seems out

I've been hearing for months and months how great the Apple MacBook Pro is at suspending and resuming from sleep, and how Windows Vista sucks. Don't believe it. My Lenovo ThinkPad T61p thumped the MacBook Pro handily in my testing yesterday afternoon. Just like my previous testing, I decided to time a series of tests that seem pretty real world to me. This time around I didn't test Windows XP. I tested the Apple MacBook Pro and OS X against the Lenovo ThinkPad T61p with Windows Vista x64 SP1. For
