Microsoft Releases "Offline Virtual Machine Servicing Tool"
Microsoft just released a free tool to help manage your virtual machines called Offline Virtual Machine Services Tool. The Offline Virtual Machine Servicing Tool helps organizations maintain virtual machines that are stored offline in a Microsoft® System Center Virtual Machine Manager library.

The tool provides a way to keep offline virtual machines up-to-date so that bringing a virtual machine online does not introduce vulnerabilities into the organization's IT infrastructure.

Windows x64 - All the Same Yet Very Different, Part 2
This is the second part of a mini-series on Windows x64, focusing on behind the scene changes in the operating system. In the first article I explained key concepts of the x86 platform, namely that user-mode processes each get 4 GB of virtual address space, but can use only half of it, because 2 GB are used for the operating system kernel.

Next Version of Windows (formerly, Windows Vienna) Facts and Speculations
It's no secret that Microsoft has already begun work on the next version of Windows, Windows 7 (formerly, Windows Vienna).

Microsoft Files Patent For Possible Taskbar Replacement
“A method for managing windows in a display” would sound particularly familiar to every Windows user as “that strip at the bottom of the screen with the Start button and clock” or perhaps the more formal name, the taskbar. On July 12 the Patent Office processed a patent application from Microsoft filed on the 9th of February, 2006 of what appears to be a possible alternative for the decade-old taskbar we all know and cherish in Windows.

Microsoft's Software Assurance Customers On the Fence, Forrester Says
If a recent survey by Forrester Research is accurate, Microsoft could be facing a customer exodus from Software Assurance, the multi-year software maintenance program that has stirred controversy in recent years.

Neither Google nor Microsoft are strangers to antitrust accusations, but recently the two have been butting heads more frequently.

Microsoft Licensing and Charities Explained
I have been doing a little bit research over the past few months about different Microsoft licensing programs. I was first intrigued about Microsoft SoftGrid software virtualization and its use in our environment. So I started researching the licensing options for this product and it turns out that this product is licensed as part of the Microsoft Desktop Optimization Pack. This pack includes Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization, Microsoft Asset Inventory Service, Microsoft Advanced Group Policy Management, and Microsoft Diagnostics and Recovery Toolset; all of which are technologies Microsoft acquired through recent acquisitions.

Microsoft's utility computing guru talks about his in-house support challenges
The profile of Microsoft's in-house server farm looks very much like the ones in many other companies: one application per server, with less than 20 per cent peak server utilisation on average. Devin Murray, Microsoft's group manager of utility services, has been working to change that.

And it has significant negative implications for Open Source in general.
