Windows 7 Team Slacking Less

Looks like Sinofsky and the boys have been busy and busy listening to the critics that say that the Windows 7 Engineering team isn’t providing enough feedback to the beta testers (and world) about what’s being fixed due to comments and bug reports. Personally, I would like to see the list that Long Zheng put [...]

Microsoft Bans Carpet Muncher

You may want to hit your back button now, cause this post is likely not safe for work. Bookmark the post and we’ll be here when you get home. or… Download Internet Explorer 8 beta and browse in Private Browsing mode with the door closed and the lights off. I think Firefox has a new [...]

Microsoft Building New Foundation for Servers

Looks like the boys in Redmond are cooking something good. Looks like a “low cost, low price and low functionality” server is joining the Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Family. Welcome to the neighborhood boys. You may have heard that earlier today Steve Ballmer referenced we are working on an addition to the Windows server Family [...]

Apple iPhone Teaches Microsoft Meaning of Irony

I’m going to bold the important part blow me. As I said the other day, it’s pretty obvious that Bill Gates is gone from Microsoft. It is also becoming increasingly obvious that either Steve Ballmer has been biting his tongue for the past 30 years or he’s an idiot. Microsoft’s business practices have fundamentally diminished [...]

I’m an Apache; You’re an IIS

The folks over at the Windows Server division have been busy little beavers working on IIS extensions. Funny how I wanted to start out by slamming Microsoft again but after looking at some facts, I really couldn’t slam them all that much. The old IIS Extensions train keeps on rollin’. Last month we hit RTW [...]

Microsoft’s New Hat

You can sure tell that Bill Gates is gone, huh? Microsoft and Red Hat announced this morning that they have recently signed agreements to test and validate their server operating systems running on one another’s hypervisors. This is deeply significant as it means that customers will be able to confidently deploy Windows Server and Red [...]

Microsoft Hires Apple as Development Consultant

Aside from Nokia and every other freaking cell phone company out there smelling the cash, I’m going to concentrate on Micrsoft’s following again. First the GUI…now this…Apple has long been described as Microsoft’s R&D department. I think it’s hysterical. Did you watch Family Guy last night (it’s at the bottom) and catch the total slam [...]

Is VMware Next Netscape?

I decided to do a major clip job on the news that Paul Maritz of VMWare released an Open Source version of their VMware View client (links below). There are a few reasons why he did that, one being Open Source is a good way to get your product foot in the door and it [...]

Yahoo and Microsoft Merge with Google

Uh…don’t you mean that Google innovated again and Yahoo and Microsoft sighed and just followed…(nofollowed) along…again? Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft have banded together to support an unofficial standard for steering search engines in the right direction. All three on Thursday announced they’d support a technique by which a little extra code in a Web page [...]

Lonely Microsoft Server

I just thought this was cute…anthropomorphizing a computer… Do you remember the tale of the Windows Server 2008 “Lone Server”? Maybe it was read to you as a bedtime story as a change from “Mommy, Why Is There a Server in the House?” There he was, this poor Windows Server 2003 server, all alone in [...]
