Microsoft Mobile Notebook Initiative Solutions
A couple of days ago I received a press release from one of the companies exhibiting at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona... In the middle of the text there was this:
"Including Microsoft's new mobile notebook initiative solutions."
Believe me or not, I haven no idea what they are talking about - and I haven't got a reply through my channels.
So exactly what is this new thing?
Any ideas?
Microsoft Windows Server 2008
I've just finished downloading Windows Server 2008 RTM from Connect. You will notice that MSDN and Technet only have the 64 bit version, while Connect lists all versions but only for the next 30 days.
It took only 29 minutes to download Windows Server 2008 32 bit. I am now going to use this to upgrade the test environment on a virtual machine. This is in preparation for the migration of our Geekzone production server from Windows Server 2008 RC1 to RTM.
We have been running Windows Server 2008 RC1 on Geekzone for almost three months now as part of an early adopters programme with Microsoft. The experience couldn't have been better.
During this time we had only a couple of updates installed, only one restart because of this and installed a second drive to mirror the system. Modifying the drive to a dynamic partition and creating the mirror did not require a restart (as I remember it needed on Windows Server 2003) and all completed ok.
I have heard comments from Geekzone users on how they feel the site has been more responsive in the last few month - and I've noticed this too.

As for Windows Vista SP1... I am waiting for it to be available for download, ready to install on my laptop.
