I love the ‘net. Only on the net can you say things and expect them to haunt you months, or even years later. Hell, I may be eating crow in a matter of minutes for calling Mary Jo Foley an idiot for claiming Apple licensed Exchange ActiveSync – and I’ll be proud to do it. [...]

Microsoft’s anti-virtualization stance: forget DRM, think Apple This is a fantastic analysis on why Microsoft doesn’t want you to virtualize the cheaper SKUs of Vista. It reads a little like a conspiracy theory, but the bottom line is always the same. Isn’t it always? This one’s for you, Whitey. Yeah, it’s purely designed to piss [...]

I spoke with a developer here at WWDC who is deploying Exchange 2007. He said that the Linux/UNIX folks on Evolution are finding it impossible to use due to some kind of webdav issues introduced with Exchange 2007. I’ve not yet had a chance to test/play with this to look into it deeper. I will [...]

Despite all of the negative press, Vista has a strong presence in the industry and is already installed on more machines than non-Microsoft products. I echo [...]

So while BunBun took his nap and the wife took to exercising, I tuned in to TWiT.TV Live and watched Leo Laporte’s last hour or so of the KFI radio show that is done on weekends. Leo has hooked up a webcam and broadcasts a stream via Stickam to all interested parties. During the breaks [...]

That’s a loss for Microsoft – OSS Ramblings Congratulations to Tony, who has succeeded in migrating his company off of Microsoft Exchange an onto an open source replacement. Check out his blog to see how it was pulled off. Granted, they probably aren’t using shared calendaring much – but still, an interesting project for any [...]

So finally, it looks like the Evolution team is sitting up and paying attention about their buggy code. Evolution 2.10.1 on Feisty Fawn actually works without issue so far. It’s laggy, but it works even against our monster of a mail system. I’m impressed. Bookmark to: Hide Sites

GNOME Mobile & Embedded Initiative So this was GNOME’s big announcement today. I’m not entirely sure how I feel about this. I suppose that if GNOME is getting the industry behind their desktop initiative enough to get some wider open source adoption, that’s a good thing. However, I have mixed feelings whenever I read about [...]
