Michael Surkan: While Moore's law may still be technically valid, for all intents and purposes it is no longer true. Unfortunately, all these extra CPUs haven't done much to speed up computers, or offer much in the way of appreciable benefits to users. Nor are they likely to in the foreseeable future. SQL Server 2008 R2 CTP available
Brian Egler: SQL Server 2008 R2 CTP is available for testing. The official release is slated for the first half of 2010. I am in the process of testing the new features myself. Microsoft, researchers release new operating system project: Barrelfish
The Microsoft Subnet blog: You've likely heard of Microsoft's next-gen operating system projects Midori and Singularity, but earlier this month researchers released a prototype for another OS, code-named Barrelfish. Replicate down or up-level - your choice
Brian Egler: I was asked recently about replication with different versions of SQL Server i.e. multiple versions of SQL Server in a replication topology. Generally, Microsoft supports replication back to two previous versions. We just need to know the rules. Wireshark Errors - Or Are They?
Glenn Weadock: One of the features of Wireshark that you may have noticed is that the program color-codes packets in the packet list pane. For example, if Wireshark detects potential problems, it colors them with red text on a black field. Remote Desktop Services: Some help to keep you from feeling 'Terminal'-ly lost
Ron Barrett: So with all the changes to Terminal Services (including a new name) that R2 will bring, I thought it would be helpful to look at each new service in Windows Server 2008 R2. Microsoft: All I Have To Say Is 'Fix Your Browser'
Mitchell Ashley: The issue of Google's gutsy move to step in and solve IE8's performance problem is pretty short and sweet from my perspective. If IE8 wasn't such a slow pig of a browser, there wouldn't be an opportunity for Google to fix it by using Google's WebKit display engine. Viewing Network Conversations in Wireshark
Glenn Weadock: Last post we discussed filtering packets in Wireshark to restrict the displayed packets according to specified criteria. Another way to zero in on traffic of interest is to view a "conversation" between two specific systems. Microsoft "Courier" Tablet: The Right Stuff To Compete Against The Apple Tablet?
Mitchell Ashley: More than just photos are leaking out about Courier, Microsoft's booklet sized tablet currently in development. I'm iffy about the idea of a pen/digital ink interface. ExRCA: Test your Exchange Server 2007 remote connectivity
Ron Barrett: In Exchange 2007 client access is handled by, of course the Client Access Server (CAS). But even if CAS is working ok, your users still may not be able to connect. Microsoft retires Filemon and Regmon from Sysinternals
