Yes, the race to ship as many different versions of all the different products continues. You thought they were stretching it with Vista and its many flavors. Well, not to be outdone, the upcoming Windows Server 2008 will come in 8 SKUs.
Who's up for buying one of each :-)

This is seriously one of the funniest sites I have witnessed – I was in pain laughing at some of his amazing solutions. The attention to detail is priceless. The best IMO is his tip to increase WiFi strength, followed by his now famous How to Sign Up for GoogleTV Beta, but all of them are good. Mark Erickson is a genius. Even reading his blog is amusing. There are more of his videos on...
I’ve been scratching my head trying to work out why Facebook’s recent announcement about the Ad delivery is soooo important. In fact for months (years?) now I’ve been wondering what the fuss about online ads is? After all, who ever sees any of these ads? Turns out lots of people. Probably most people. You see, I hardly ever see ads. I don’t know whether it is IE natively...
Microsoft has split TechEd 2008 into 2 back-to-back conferences in the US. I hope they don’t do this in Australia. One of the things I loved this year was going to a big mix of sessions, covering both developer and infrastructure topics.

Now with 62 posts under her belt, I’m *happy* to report her writing just gets better and better. Whilst some of her posts are laugh out loud funny, and others are pithy, research based insights, there are also thought provoking ones like her...
Anyone reading today's news article on an email scam involving the late Kerry Packer would probably smile at the humour of it all. After all, who falls for these grammatically incorrect, spelling mistake-ridden spamming irritations. Well, scroll down to the bottom of the article – apparently plenty of well informed Aussies do. Disturbingly, $500K a month is sent from Queensland alone...

The following description comes directly from the download site for Microsoft Sync Framework CTP1: Microsoft Sync Framework is a comprehensive synchronization platform that enables collaboration and offline scenarios for applications, services and devices. Developers can build sync ecosystems that integrate any...
I've already linked to this in the past but as Jeff Beehler notes, the word doesn't seem to have got out loud enough. The full 496 page PDF document provides guidance on how to setup, maintain and use TFS, and is available from CodePlex here. The full content is also available on MSDN. The guide also covers TFS2008 which is coming soon. BTW Pinched straight from the TFS guide, here is a...
Thanks to Angus for alerting me to this… Somasegar has 'announced' that Visual Studio 2008 will ship this month. Awesome news.
