I mentioned a problem with 64bit Powershell in my previous post: 3 snap-ins I've wanted to use have been packed for 32 bit and didn't work "out of the box" on 64 bit, so I thought I'd give a generic guide to making snapins...

I have been saying for ages that most IT professionals really don't give two hoots about Open-XML. It's a file format. Who cares ? The old file format had been around for ages, and was pretty opaque, so hardly anyone dug into it. The new format...

For the last year I have been saying that the mentality of waiting for a Service pack is a way of thinking which belongs to the 1990s (wait 6 months might make sense, but a service pack is not the milestone it was). Still, SP1 has released and whilst...

The tool is VMRCplus - an alternate UI as opposed to the Virtual Server web interface. VMRCplus uses the documented Virtual Server COM interface and is a great example of what can be accomplished with it. In due course VMRCplus will soon be available...

A few days ago someone who had installed 64 bit Vista asked us " why Microsoft developed an operating system that MOST of the software manufacturers have told me will take at least 2 years for them to support" Now if you develop a new OS it takes vendors...

Santa came late this year, and brought me a new Dell Latitude 820. Nice. Two 64-bit cores, a 1900x1200 screen and for the first time I have integrated Bluetooth - which works nicely with my new mouse. I put Microsoft-IT's standard build of 64 bit vista...

One of the things I learnt in the run up to last week’s BETT show was about licensing. I often joke that I have a degree in computer science, 40 Microsoft product certifications and 20 years industry experience but that doesn’t fit me out to understand...

There are a bunch smart ideas in Vista, and Readyboost seems to be a favorite with a lot of people: extend memory by using USB "key" / "Stick" "Thumb drive" (what are we meant to call these things). Of course since it can be pulled out at any time it...
