Zuned

I finally got a new MP3 player-- after sticking with my first generation IPod Shuffle for several years. For a while I had a Nano, but I thought the Shuffle was way cooler due to it's gumstick size, and not having to worry about scratching the stupid thing. I really hated the first generation Zune, and I really was embarrassed to get one as I try not to get too much Microsoft stuff for fear of being mocked by my coworkers. I kind of work for Microsoft in that I write for them (book 2 if you don't...( read more ) Del.icio.us | Digg It | Technorati | Blinklist | Furl | reddit | DotNetKicks

Microsoft Office Live Workspace - it's a Beta

Windows XP vs Vista (Vista is the pathway to better human interaction)

Microsoft needs to move faster and further. Directx 10 alone is worth Vista just buy a new computer for it and your set. These people who want to stay in XP are the same people who are still in 98 and 2000 your stupid this is a forward moving Country and we WILL not let some scared little brats hold up the progress and advancement in to a none keyboard mouse interface. It's time to loss the bagage and make some steps forward. I have 5 Systems with vista that run great, I also support 50 Business systems that work great. God Bless Dell and may their investers understand the value the people has in Dell. Vista Media Center is well done and a great upgrade my wife love media center and is very protective of it. We use four Xbox 360's with media center for tv (Microsoft HDTV for Media Center better be coming soon there is a high demand), all our music, all our HD home video and 40,000 photos in everyroom better then any Cable or Sat settop box out there and it's fast. I love Vista on the 65' HDTV it's amazing. But touch screens would solve the issues, the market is ready for touchscreen technologies to take a bigger step in. With things like the Wii being imbrased in full a touch screen computer system and HDTV system would run the market. HP has just a solution at Office Depot, now I'm no supporter of HP so Dell and Sony better have something coming out soon! Sony had a desktop 21' w/Pen LCD touch screen system out years ago but they couldn't sell...

Free Vista, Trips, Office, or Money

I saw something called The Windows Feedback Program on Slashdot today. Apparently, if you agree to be monitored and shared feedback with Microsoft, then you can get a free copy of one of the titles mentioned in my heading. Here is the link: http://wfp.microsoft.com/Welcome.aspx. It sounds pretty easy, imho, and you save about $100+ on a program. Hopefully, it stops some people from illegally downloading the programs over the net too:) Posted on SharePoint Blogs Del.icio.us | Digg It | Technorati | Blinklist | Furl | reddit | DotNetKicks

Microsoft's SharePoint VPC: Successes and Failures

I thought I would get a dialogue going about Microsoft Trial SharePoint VPC. My new consulting company has me looking into it as a viable tools for proof of concepts and demoing purposes. Well, I have a few concerns. One, the VPC has a trial version of Visual Studio 2005, which the trial version does not install the templates for VS 2005 and does not have a command prompt for your use. Therefore, I try to install the templates for wss 3.0 but no templates are installed into VS 2005. So I can't build a web part(save for from scratch). I can't build a site definition or any of the like. I'm very discouraged by this discovery. I am currently attempting to get VSTA on the trial version to program with InfoPath 2007, but I am doubtful it will work... Please if anyone has attempted to use the trial vpc for such tasks and been successful or had the same luck as I have. Please post your comments here!

Using Visual Studio 2008 for .NET 2.0 Projects

VS 2008 has been available on MSDN for a few days now. We're not ready to jump to the 3.5 framework in our development teams yet, but there's nothing stopping us from moving to the new IDE since it lets us target the 2.0 framework. I'm moving to VS 2008 right away for my NewsGator projects. If you're using source control and a build server that builds from the solution using VS 2005, make sure you make a new copy of the solution file before opening it in VS 2008.

SharePoint 2007 Predicted by "Joel on Software" Back in 2004?

I was wikipedia'ing the word "Portal" today at work and stumbled across an interesting article from Joel on Software (if you have never read his blog, you might as well read up... because it full of pure gold) on how Microsoft has "Lost the API War"... written in 2004. Its interesting to see his points in this article and how they parallel with what Microsoft has done with SharePoint 2007. From what I can tell, he was "dead on" and Microsoft (despite being accused of often times being slow to market) was able to notice the same trends and create a viable contender for continuing its domination over the API through SharePoint 2007 and the web. If you don't feel like reading the whole post I'll sum it up with a quote: "None of this bodes well for Microsoft and the profits it enjoyed thanks to its API power. The new API is HTML, and the new winners in the application development marketplace will be the people who can make HTML sing." - Joel on Software (June 2004) Fast forward three years and it looks like Microsoft may have achieved that. Sure its not quite perfect still, but I think SharePoint does a better job of fitting what Joel was talking about then most other options available today, especially for the enterprise marketplace.
