More top picks from the week: CEO Pay: Ballmer is a saint compared to others Microsoft to use open source hook to let Windows 7 search SharePoint TechNet Plus: less than it used to be Surface Area Configuration – where did it go in 2008? From Mix09: Buck up, little camper From our bloggers: Mitchell Ashley: Converging on Microsoft iPhone OS 3.0: Microsoft Gets p00ned again Apple is not resting on its laurels after reportedly selling 30 million iPhone devices. The announcements about the iPhone OS 3.0 beta were both broad and sweeping -- but not an effort to officially move the iPhone into the enterprise. Brian Egler: SQL Server Strategies Server Core 2008 – SQL Server not supported A new feature of Windows Server 2008 is the ability to install the “Server Core”. This minimal server installation supports only the basic server roles like DHCP, DNS, File and Print Services and Active Directory among others. And it doesn't support SQL Server. Ron Barrett: A Better Windows World Will Microsoft’s newest board member improve R&D deliverables? Microsoft added Maria Klawe to its board of directors. Klawe (pronounced Claw-vay) has been the President of Harvey Mudd College since 2006. Being close to the college crowd and having spent eight years at IBM Research, Klawe could help Microsoft better turn its R&D into desireable products. Tyson Kopczynski: Hidden Microsoft Tripped up on some PowerShell oddness Maybe this posting can be classified as a stupid PowerShell trick. Or, it's just me blabbing on about how I wish error handling in PowerShell worked a certain way (it's always been a sore subject). I was writing a script in CTP3 and ... errors were not popping up where I thought they should. Kerrie Meyler: Managing Microsoft The 2009 Microsoft Management Summit (MMS) MMS is being held in Las Vegas April 27-May 1. After Microsoft's announcements last year regarding virtualization and monitoring Linux systems using Operations Manager, this year should be equally interesting (although flying pigs remains to be seen).

Ross Mistry: Microsoft BackOffice ING Sharebuilder Website is down again - customers outraged over potentially losing millions It appears that ING Direct's Sharebuilder website is experiencing another outage which is vexing its customers. As an IT architect of mission critical systems I find this to be highly unacceptable. Randy Muller: All About Microsoft Certifications The worth of training I had an interesting class recently - where all of the students were in the midst of a military career change. The members of this State's National Guard had gone through a very intense multi-week IT training program covering numerous topics including VoIP, Windows Server 2003 and security. Hot discussions among Microsoft Subnet readers ING Sharebuilder Website is down again Dangerous Windows error messages OCS R2 Media Gateway woes SharePoint and the Three Bears: Getting Your Deployment Just Right Multi-gig file transfers Microsoft era of 'take it or leave it' is over Giveaways: One lucky reader will win a Microsoft training course from New Horizons worth up to $2,500.
