This is Network World's Microsoft Subnet news alert in which we focus on the top items from Microsoft Subnet, your daily source for Microsoft news, blogs, discussion items, security alerts, giveaways and more. Microsoft GPL Linux drivers first legit open source contribution
Mitchell Ashley: Windows shops I've worked with say Microsoft's GPL drivers are good for everyone – clearly good for MS but also for Linux as there are a ton of people that would love to run Linux in a VM. Microsoft releases Linux Hyper-V drivers but still wants to crush Linux
Microsoft Subnet: With today's announcement that Microsoft will release a set of three Hyper-V drivers for the Linux kernel, Microsoft is treating its Windows Server 2008 customers right, but not, by any account, giving up the fight to wipe Linux out -- or for that matter crush VMware. OCS Public IM Just Got Easier
Alex Lewis: Provisioning Public IM, PIC, for OCS used to be an administrative nightmare. While the server configuration was simple the paperwork and manual process made it a long and painful process. Windows Mobile 6.5 plus Communicator Mobile at Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference 2009
Joe Schurman: While having a blast in New Orleans at the Microsoft Worldwide Partner Conference, I was interested only in one product update -- Windows Mobile 6.5 and the improvements made for the Microsoft Office Communicator Mobile client for OCS R2. Usability Testing SharePoint Sites: A little testing can make a big difference
Susan Hanley: Even as an experienced information architect, I know that I will never get the design precisely "right" the first time. All designs can benefit from usability testing. This week, we did a very simple usability test that proved once again that a little bit of effort can have big payoffs. Zero-day protection
Microsoft Subnet: Microsoft is looking to add short-term, quick-fix technologies to its patch management tools, mainly to combat zero-day attacks. The idea is that this quick-fix code can provide some protection right away, as Microsoft works on a more permanent patch which needs to be more thoroughly tested. Taking pause in a wave of unyielding releases
Tyson.Kopczynski: It seems like every day there is some announcement about some new iconic technology that is going to revolutionize how we work (kinda, sorta, maybe, or not really). Hurray everyone, its Office 2010, Google OS, Bing, etc. However, at the end of the day, it is important to understand the timeless fundamentals. Should Apple Stop Whining About Microsoft's Ads?
Mitchell Ashley: Kevin Turner, Microsoft COO, is claiming Apple lawyers called him requesting Microsoft stop running the "laptop hunter" ads based upon outdated pricing information. Configuring Kerberos authentication for Reporting Services 2008

Ron Barrett: I blogged about Xobni in March Yet here I am talking again about Xobni and its new, even better, product. Proving to Windows that your copy is legit
Glenn Weadock: One of the disconcerting things about various versions of Windows, including Server 2008, is that it occasionally (and seemingly randomly) decides that "This version of Windows is not genuine," and makes that embarrassing statement right on the lower-right corner of your desktop. Microsoft Office 2010 Takes On Google At Its Own Game
Mitchell Ashley: The online web version of Office 2010 apps will be free to users with a Windows Live account and for Microsoft Software Assurance enterprise customers. Activating Server 2008
Glenn Weadock One of the nice things about Server 2008 is that Microsoft is fairly generous with the evaluation period. You don't have to enter a product key and you get 60 days of free usage, plus you can reset the clock three times (using slmgr –rearm) for a total of 240 days of free usage. DUB is your mobile business card.
