As a vendor of cloud-based archiving, I'll admit that I'm completely biased. However, after having spoken with most of our colleagues in the industry, I feel I'm not alone in saying:
1. Exchange 2010 is really impressive - especially the new DAG functionality.
2. However, it's surprising that Microsoft is claiming E2010 provides "archiving." In my experience in the industry, email archiving is all about moving older email OUT of primary email databases (and the resulting expensive storage and long backups there-in). Read more

Great podcast on a good topic. Too bad the audio quality was so bad. It sounded like a combination of using a home phone, then switching to Skype.

Anybody claiming that SharePoint is a records management tool needs their head read. It might be a useful ECM system but no serious risk management assessment would ever conclude it is a substitute for a real EDRMS.

Why do you say he's a former Microsoft Research employee? He doesn't say that, the bio on his book just says he's ex-Microsoft. Maybe you could ask him and clarify this.

I'm unclear why this is a subject; Linux KDE v3.5.9 includes font facilities that are all in one place - install, remove, and view. I understand the Gnome folk and those who use LaTex have all the font tools they need too.
Using more than four fonts in a text or context is likely to be unpleasant for readers. That ancient tech, the codex, provides good examples of what works for the long haul - does all that font stuff just signal someone with too much spare time?

Cisco won't be refunding your money if it can't support Windows 7 on its UC products.
Submitted by Brad Reese on Sat, 11/07/09 - 2:38pm.
At least Cisco is warning Unified Communications customers about it NOT successfully offering support for Microsoft Windows 7:
"Cisco will have no liability for any delay in delivery, or failure to deliver, any or all of the planned Windows 7 support features set forth herein. Therefore, any such delay or failure will not in any way grant to Cisco customers the right to return, refund, adjust, or exchange any previously purchased Cisco products or products that customers may purchase under their Cisco purchase contracts."
Are you "rolling the dice" by deploying Windows 7 (32-bit and 64-bit) while purchasing the following Cisco UC products? Read more

I've been a bit surprised at how often Bing will return desired results where Google does not, especially in news searches (where Google is still really poor, so in that particular area it's not so surprising). Of course, soemtimes Google delivers more desired results than Bing, but I would say that the two are at the least equal but MS may actually be just-slightly better.
That said, I haven't trained myself to go to Bing first, first-hand evidence of the difficulty of changing behaviors, and using Google is very much ingrained behavior. Read more

Microsoft lays off more employees while executives still rake in the dough.
Submitted by Mitchell Ashley on Fri, 11/06/09 - 8:34am.

Can satellites really be protected from flying space junk?

They haven't covered all the old and non-technical distractions, such as eating, drinking, smoking, combing or brushing hair, applying makeup, shaving, talking to the passengers, waching pedestrians (of the opposite sex), sleepiness, and even plain daydreaming. One solution is to make driving more difficult and uncomfortable, having the driver pay more attention. Read more
