I'll freely admit that I've never been particularly gifted at website design (though I'm an excellent critic), and since changing the background colour from a subtle pink to a raging gold, well, there have been... complaints. Well, one complainant, anyway,

I just spotted the Arkane Systems blog , where they have been posting some of the protocol definitions they find useful for ISA 2004 - a VMRC (Virtual Machine Remote Control, used by Virtual Server) definition was just added . One of the cool things about

Mainly UI fixes in this PasteOff update, so your settings should be preserved if upgrading.

Change is in the wind. As far as I know, when Valve released Half-Life 2 via Steam , they became the first developer/publisher to offer a top-tier AAA title using online distribution, right from the release date. Hopefully, this will become the first

Since August, I've had to use a second monitor to view full-screen Text-mode (like the BIOS and DOS apps, or Text-mode setup for that matter). This year, I was once again faced with the problem of my favourite online retailers closing over the Christmas

Looks like it's here now - Mike mentioned this was coming last week. I'm still checking it out , but it looks pretty cool so far. MSN's instructions for adding the clicky things ("Buttons, Tristank, they're called buttons") and on syndication with RSS

Been a while since a dedicated ISA post, so Happy New Year to my ISA-focused readers! I spotted this post in my ISA Server watch list, from the new Port 80 Software blog. As they mentioned, we've published the mother of all KB articles on how the HTTP

Last time I looked for the ISA Server 2004 SDK (late last year), it was only available as an HTML Help (CHM) file. While researching the next post, I noticed that the ISA 2004 SDK is now available on MSDN online, and web searchable. Enjoy! [Update:] The

We just released the Live Communications Server 2005 Resource Kit to Microsoft.com. It's available now from the Microsoft Download Center . If you're using LCS2005 (and in some cases LCS2003, I'm told), it's worth checking out. This release of the Microsoft

Just in case you haven't heard it a billion times already (if you have - sorry, but I think this is worth covering again) - we just released the first beta of our upcoming Anti-Spyware product. The interface is pleasant enough, and it caught a bunch of
