Image via CrunchBase At WWDC 2009, I stood up in a session on Snow Leopard server and lightly rattled Apple‘s cage about its poor scaling guidance for the product. They were spending a great deal of time talking about the benefits of Wiki Server 2, but there was little to take away from the session [...]
Image via CrunchBase Paul Thurrott posted a nice attaboy to the MSN folks today for releasing a wallpaper product that will check Microsoft for updates to your operating system. Get ready folks, I’m about to show my ass again. Are you KIDDING ME? Paul Thurrott has obviously never had to manage a network beyond his [...]
Just in case you’re ever wondering what can make a Mac user so annoyingly smug… as a relatively new Mac user (2+ years), I received the following message on Skype. It’s an amazing feeling, that smugness. Even as a Windoze user I’d laugh this off, but still. Bookmark to: Hide Sites

Image via Wikipedia This post is focused on those of you who have decided to deploy Exchange in a resource forest. You’re in for tears. While the resource forest is technically a supported deployment method for Exchange, I’m going to point out what can go wrong in your Exchange world that will keep your admins [...]

The net is abuzz tonight as MobileMe users recieve more notices that MobileMe still isn’t what Apple had hoped it would be, so it’s offering 60 days more for free. Paul Thurrott has already played the part of the cynic and provided a rather insightful metaphor, but I’m going to come down on the positive [...]
