  • 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. The problem, as Colin puts it, is that the decisions that consumers make decisions on a radically different set of criteria than organizations . Lack of Exchange support was surely holding...

  • Congrats to Faisal on his new role on the ADO.NET team

    My good buddy Faisal has moved from MSBuild to ADO.NET . Specifically, he's the Program Manager for LINQ to SQL and the Object Service for Entity Framework.

  • Looking at Google's acquisition of Postini

    Last week, Google (GOOG) purchased Postini for $625m . Jason calls this Google's most enterprisey acquisition yet - and despite all the other acquisitions, it's "the first evidence . . . that Google is ready to take the kid gloves off outside of the ad-driven model." Cote says that...

  • More on UrgeMS.exe

    UrgeMS.exe seems to be causing issues for a lot of people. I mentioned previously that you can disable the process via security policy, and someone pointed out a registry setting to disable it a little cleaner. I was hoping they'd fix this in the future, but it looks like all they did was make it worse...

  • Microsoft Silverlight

    A lot of people are very excited about Silverlight , the technology that was formerly known as WPF/E. Jesse says it will give Flash a real run for its money because of a better video story (emphasis in original).

  • How Microsoft can crush Google

    Dare points to this insightful, if nefarious, post on how Microsoft could crush Google in one easy step .

  • Vista drivers for the Toshiba M200 Tablet

    Finally! Corey found m200 drivers for Vista that were released on 3/20/2007 on the Swiss support site. The page is not English, but as Corey said it's pretty easy to figure out.

  • Disabling UrgeMS.exe

    I noticed my machine running slower lately, and UrgeMS.exe (URGE Media Scanner) was thrashing the disk and running up to 50% CPU. Obviously, this is part of MTV's URGE music store, the default store for Windows Media Player 11. It appears that the process is related to the "Auto-Mix" feature, which I...
