- Vista Hands On #17: Solving a pesky resource problem

- Vista is taking body blows
- I've been on a bit of a blog and RSS hiatus the past couple of days and have been working my way through tales of destruction and distress (the 365 outage, not Lindsay Lohan's latest episode), news, and views. In my reading, there's a recurring theme that beats louder all...

- Why is Vista lame?
- Critical reception of Vista is cool, at best. Yet I know Microsoft didn't set out to create a mediocre product. They have a lot of smart, passionate people who really want to create industry leading products. It is just that, on their flagship product, they haven't. Explanations abound, with the...

- The final word on Vista startup times
- As I’ve pointed out in the previous two installments of this series, a properly configured, well-maintained Windows Vista installation should start up in a reasonable amount of time, in most cases taking roughly 10–15 seconds more than it takes to start Windows XP on the same hardware, and in some...

- Cloudworks shows the green side of managed services
- Here's a refreshing twist: An executive with an ostensibly "green" technology who really isn't willing to pitch it that way.
