Bing!

In: In the news| Micro$oft

8 Jan 2010

Recently we had a pretty funny conversation with our Microsoft premier support tech. It was clear that a memo had gone out from up above and he was doing his part to push bing out to everyone that he could. Unfortunately, he forgot he was talking to engineers. We’re smart ass bastards [...]

HMC Resource Management

5 Jan 2010

Today I’m going to talk about the wonderful thing that is the Resource Manger for HMC (Hosted Messaging and Collaboration), the wondering framework from Microsoft for provisioning users for Exchange, OCS and SharePoint automagically.

Business as usual

31 May 2009

I’m not a windows mobile developer. And why would you want to be. Seeing this latest article from CNet News, I can’t think of a reason I would want to play in the Micro$oft world of endless, confusing licensing agreements.
Microsoft plans to charge mobile-application developers $99 to [...]

Exchange 14 – Service First, Server 2nd

In: Micro$oft

3 Mar 2009
