Article by Rob West As my esteemed colleague Jorge points out, it has been a busy summer (and now autumn) for us on this team, and as such, our posting frequency has not been, shall we say, “optimized.” I’ve been on the road a bit, and speaking at a number of Windows 7 Launch events,…

Everyone knows by now that Microsoft’s Project Natal is the talk of the town since it was introduced at E3 early this week. In fact there is one headline I read that said something like : “How Microsoft stole E3” Very cool technology, which is finally enabled by the power of faster more powerful processors…

Desktone (http://www.desktone.com/) and more pointedly the generic term DaaS or desktop as a service is being bandied about and will help (I say “help” in jest) to muddy the terminology waters and give us a new buzz word.

Brian Tinham over at Manufacturing Computer Solutions leads with a posting about Window’s 2008 Server Core offering – cool stuff. Even cooler for the virtual-set is the prospect of using the application formerly known as SoftGrid in a “what if” scenario to virtualize OS’es in a way that we don’t have in today’s Microsoft SoftGrid….
Amy Newman over at ServerWatch.com in her VirtualzationWatch column helps to clear the virtual haze that is virtual presentation. Glad someone is speaking to this – in the 30 plus years of virtualization each market segment hasn’t been able to define itself all that clearly. Thanks Amy. The cool thing about application virtualization with Microsoft’s…
In the old days, Softricity was a partner of Citrix. Citrix is a partner of Microsoft. And Softricity was a partner of Microsoft, but is now part of Microsoft. See where this is going?

Amazon.com does it again ! A quick follow-up to my December 29, 2007 posting , Sony/BMG has joined the bandwagon to offer their music catalog through the Amazon DRM-free service. This makes all of the major record label’s catalogs available there. – Now that is cool (and something that iTunes can not claim)
I was in Washington, DC this week and had the chance to take sometime to visit the Smithsonian Museums… It was trully a treat, and wanted to share just a couple of highlights…: ENIAC’s – **The** 1947 technology (Electronic Numerical Integrator And Computer ) — Wow – It seemed a bit rusty – but that is where…
Couple of years ago, we had a fantastic trip to Costa Rica. Although I have been there many times, this time we were accompanied by family friends (another family of 4) and felt a bit of the pressure to show them a memorable time. So much to see! Not enough to cover…
Very Interesting to see the latest announcement from Amazon.com on Dec 27 in which they told the world that “Warner joins EMI, Universal Music Group nd a pack of independent labels that sell so-called digital rights management-free music in Amazon MP3, at the company’s music store.“ It will be interesting to see how DRM-based services…
