Vista SP1
It has been officially available for a couple weeks now, but some of us have been running it for over a month at this point .  Of course, outside of the MSDN and TechNet avenues, the only way to get it was due to a Microsoft mistake . In any event, Read More...
It's Nearing Tax Time
Don't be a procrastinator.  File your taxes online, or use the downloadable editions of the various tax preparation software products (which is what I do) , or even see your accountant or your neighborhood H&R Block establishment (I did that Read More...

It's CommunityServer Time, Once Again...
It's been quite some time since I've posted about CommunityServer, mostly because I've been busy working on a variety of different projects. Now that CommunityServer 2007 (CS2007) has been officially released , it's time for me to get back on that bandwagon Read More...
Making the move to 64-bit Vista -- Finally!

Beta 1 of Community Server 2007
Even though CS2007 has been available for over a month now, and even though I managed to download it just a couple days after release, I still haven't had an opportunity to play with it at home or at work. I've been too busy finishing up a couple of other Read More...

A Brief Look Inside the Vista Kernel
Mark Russinovich has provided another great series of "Inside Windows" articles, with his Inside the Vista Kernel postings on TechNet. Part one dealt with: Thread priority and scheduling File-based symbolic links Canceling I/O operations Part two, which Read More...
Getting Used to Windows Vista
My Vista initiation continues, and so far, I don't have much to complain about. I've done this whole " new version of Windows " thing enough times in the past 15 or so years that I know that there's really no point in not spending a week or two getting Read More...
Pando gets more options
If you're looking for a convenient way to move around or share very large files with friends and family, then you really need to check out Pando . I've been happily using Pando for quite a while, now -- even before version 1.0 was released . Well, it's Read More...
Got my January ActionPack Subscription
I came home this evening to find out that the January shipment of my Microsoft ActionPack Subscription arrived today. Sweet!! Sort of, anyway... First the good news : I got my Office 2007 licenses, or should I say, Microsoft Office System 2007 . It even Read More...
Windows Vista is finally here...
At the retail level, anyway. And I am no closer to having it installed at home than I was a month ago, when I laid out my grand plans for software upgrades . I have been heavily involved in a lot of projects lately, both at work and at church, so time Read More...
