  • The Enterprise, The iPhone, and the Role of Silverlight

    With its recent announcement to support ActiveSync on the iPhone , Apple is clearly going after the enterprise user.

  • Missing SAPPHIRE

    I was excited about attending SAPPHIRE this year, but had a conflict and cancelled my travel plans last week. (Well, Vienna might have fit in my schedule since I'm done with exams). I'm disappointed to not have the change to hang out in the Blogger's Corner again, especially since I'm...

  • A word of warning about Vista upgrades

    Unlike past versions of Windows, the Vista upgrade edition requires you to have XP already installed . (That is, you can literally upgrade, but you can't do a clean install).

  • SQL Server installation problems on Vista? (Failed to compile the Managed Object Format)

    I've been having issues installing SQL Server 2005 tools (i.e., Management Studio) on Vista. I know it works because I was able to get it installed on my tablet also running Vista - I just couldn't get it on my desktop. I thought it might be related to SQLEXPRESS installed as part of the VS.NET 2005...

  • The SAP Developer Network (SDN)

    In my last post about the SAP ecosystem , Mark Yolton mentioned in comments that I neglected to mention the SAP Developer Network (SDN).

  • Building an ecosystem around SAP

    One of the things Microsoft really gets is how to build a platform, innovating and yet carving out real spaces for their ISVs to play in. Part of this is community involvement, and part of this is the ability to let go of some control. SAP is trying to do the same thing. We had a chance to meet with...
