I’ve seen quite a few posts about this problem lately - both in public, and on internal Microsoft mailing lists - so I thought it might be best to write up a quick blog about it. This is one of those cool little problems that you can debug with almost

I have to admit, I really don’t quite get Twitter. My first experience with it probably wasn’t the best one. It was with Twinkle on my iPhone, which – if you don’t know – will not only show you the people you’re following, but will also show you

I’m between video games right now, so I thought that I’d take a look at what’s available in the Xbox Live Arcade. There was one game that caught my eye, simply because of the name. As you may have guessed from the title of this post, that

Back in 2006, I posted an article about how to get Glass running in a VM . The trick was to use Remote Desktop on a Glass-enabled machine to TS into a VM which is running the same OS. If the build of the OS on your workstation is different

:: Yawn :: No big news here. Microsoft just released the Hyper-V Integration Component drivers for Linux. As Open Source. Under the GPL v2. Yup. Just another standard, run of the mill… wait, what? No, seriously. It’s

I just wanted to post a quick note to all of you that I haven’t given up on the podcasts or anything like that. I’ve been extraordinarily busy over the last few weeks – and the next few weeks are going to be just as busy. As such, I haven’t had

Of course you do. And in this episode of the Virtualization Nation Podcast, I’ll show you how. But first, a little background. Earlier today, I posted a description of the new Native VHD integration in Windows 7, Windows Server 2008 R2, and

Some of you may remember that, a long while ago, I asked what sort of things you'd like to see in a Virtualization-themed podcast. Though it's been over a year since that post, I've still been thinking about starting a podcast and talking with other people

That’s right, folks. In celebration of the release of the Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 Release Candidate, I’ve updated WIM2VHD with bugfixes and new features! What’s new? BUGFIXES! All of the bugs (except for one) on the Code Gallery issue

So, I know that I've been promising everyone some new videos explaining some of WIM2VHD's features. And I really have been working on them. I have most of them captured, but editing them... is not going so well. I've been using Windows Movie Maker on

The webbernetz are abuzz with news that a new version of Ubuntu has been released today. As such, I figured that I should post instructions on how to get it going under Hyper-V. Now, I know that these steps are pretty complex, so I'll try to use as much

Every now and then, I like to visit the WIM2VHD website and see how many people have downloaded it. Aside from the ego boost, it’s a nice little figure to pass on to my management so they can see that this project was worth the time that I’ve spent

This is a pretty common question on our internal mailing lists, and I’d imagine that it’s common outside of Microsoft as well, so I thought it would make a nice blog post (since I’m way behind on blogging…). So, you have a VM that’s joined to a domain

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on putting together a new set of videos for WIM2VHD, but I’ve run into a bit of a problem. I’m creating a video that goes through and explains the different command line options for WIM2VHD, but the end result, even after
