Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 R2


Microsoft release Virtual Server 2005 R2 beta version was release a while back. It has a nice web interface which allows to access all your virtual systems on the server. You can test drive it yourself at Microsoft. Virtual Server is more flexible then Virtual PC 2004. You have the ability to create a larger virtual hard disk up to 127 GB. A big upgrade from the 16 GB that was offered in VPC 2004. A new addition to the Virtual Server website is downloading virtual Hard drives from their website. This will save the time of creating a virtual machine from scratch. There is also the addition of creating virtual network enabling you to put virtual machines on that network. Virtual server is great addition to the Microsoft Line up and should work well with a Windows server 2003. This is an important release for me while majority of my tested beta version are done on a virtual PC. I really like the web server interface and allowing me to take remote control right from the site. But even with my 2 GB's of ram I felt Virtual Server lag a bit more then using VMServer. Which is available for free.


Verdict: Definitely worth testing out Virtual Server since the recent addition of down-loadable virtual hard disks.

Sprint Motorola Q Available


Sprint has finally released the Motorola Q. It is posted on the Sprint PCS website. You can get the phone for 199.99 after rebates and with a new contract or purchase it for your current plan for a whopping 449. I say wait a month should be on Ebay for around 200 soon. Or should you wait till the iPhone comes out with Cingular. I highly doubt any rebates will be offered for that phone.

iPhone is truely amazing


Job's started the press conference at about 11am central time. My speculation were some right.
He started by announcing that Apple will be working with Intel to release new processors for the system monthly. Then as expected he presented iTV which has been renamed to Apple TV.

But the big news is the iPhone. It is really big news. Its pratcally a smart phone, and iPod put together. It sports a 8GB hard drive, touch screen, bluetooth, wifi and edge, quality iPod audio, oh yea can't forget its running OS X on it.

So how much does this all cost?

Pretty expensive but hopefully some rebates will help this deal.
$499 for 4GB
$599 for 8GB



I'm still amazed. Picture copyrighted to engadget. Visit Engadget for the latest details on Apple's new releases.


More information later today.

Apple Store Down as of 10:41 CT

Job's to speak today

There is speculation that Apple with introduce the iPod Phone today. There are several fake images on the internet but not confirmation what the iPod phone looks like. There is confirmation that IPod phone will be in service by Cingular.


Steve Jobs is also expected to release something that will totally blow everyone away with an interesting message on the Apple website. 'The first 30 years was just the beganning.' This is my prediction what will be release today is iTV, iPod Phone, and maybe a tablet mac.




I will post updates as they become available.

Microsoft Office Online Revamped

To fit the styles of the new Microsoft Office 2007. Microsoft has revamped the office online website. They tried to go after easier navigation and better search results. The site retrieves templates that are useful for everyday work but many of the new templates are only available for Office 2007. On the website there is a link for you to try the new 2007 suite for 30 days. Definitely worth the upgrade but expensive.

Microsoft.com Facelift


On December 14 2006 Microsoft unveiled the new microsoft.com. The homepage changed to a web 2.0 dynamic website. Featuring functionality similar to other web 2.0 sites using Ajax. The site looks great now they need to update all connecting sites. Since Google and apple have been threatening Microsoft with new sleeker products, Microsoft has reacted releasing new software and upgrades faster. Don't expect Microsoft to go down without a fight.
