Posted by Brent Stineman on 27 August 2010 in Cloud Computing DigestOnly a single update this week. It’s not that I don’t have enough Microsoft centric news.

Posted by Edward Nelms on 10 August 2010 in SharePoint InsiderAnother Quick note: You need atleast Windows 7 64bit Home Premium, Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate in order to install IIS features. You cannot install IIS on Home Basic or Starter. This means if you have Home Basic or Starter Windows 7 64bit, no SharePoint Foundation for you. Sorry Note: This is a precursor to […]

Posted by Roy Davis on 2 August 2010 in Roy Davis's BlogThere must be some formulatic relation between the obscurity of a crypt key and mans ability to create machines that can guess it. If we can theorize this relationship, we may gain an understanding of the futility of the quest to achieve complete data security.

Posted by Robert Notrica on 29 July 2010 in Virtual MeltdownUh oh! I really did it now. While trying to format a virtual partition, I hit the wrong key and formatted the main windows 7 partition. I did a hard shut-down but looks like it was too little too late. Tried repairing it from the win 7 install DVD but no dice. Thank goodness there’s nothing […]

The installer would not allow me to install win2k8 on the newly createed vhd (the “next” button was grayed out). I tried using diskpart at each screen to see if that made a difference. None of them worked […]
