This morning there's been a bunch of Microsofties blogging about the rumor of Bill Gate starting his own blog - first up was Dan Fernandez at 8:11am , followed quickly by Mike Hall at 8:30am , and Korby Parnell at 8:59am . Why the synchronicity? Do we...

So, I've decided that the slashdotting after Dave Massey's Internet Explorer post wasn't enough. The Channel9 wiki pages of customer feedback about Microsoft products need some more traffic :-) This time around we're focusing on Microsoft Office products...

I've always hated reading documents formatted for paper on-screen. Until we get 200 dpi LCD screens, there aren't enough pixels to make small print-ready fonts legible without a lot of zooming, at which point navigation becomes a pain. And printing out...

I referred to these two processes tangentially in Microsoft laptop gripes , but based on referrer hits and email they deserve a post of their own. Systems Management Server pushes out patches and keeps your software updated via an agent that's installed...
