How to track down the WMI error in OCS

Check out UCForums

Recently I have received several e-mails asking for help and advice for building OCS applications. While I normally do try to take the time to answer these to the best of my ability, with coding speeding up and more deadlines to make it seems unlikely

What it's like so far on the OCS core team

Some time ago I wrote about how I moved from the Speech Server team to the OCS core team. Now that I have been on the team for some time, I thought I'd give random thoughts about my perceptions thus far to those on the outside. First, it is a much larger
