A guide to microsoft.com - Part 1 04/19/2004 11:03 AM
Most of us will have at least one piece of Microsoft software on our computers. Getting hold of information on using it, keeping your software updated and getting your hands on the latest security updates, patches and drivers can have you running around in circles. The Microsoft website is packed with all of this essential information and more but, if you've ever tried using it, you'll know that it's not always easy to put your finger on what you're looking for in a timely fashion. And if you're looking for information on solving a problem that needs to be fixed quickly, this can be frustrating. To make things easier, here's Computeractive's essential guide to finding what you want on Microsoft's support websites.

Future Computing: Part 1 - Microsoft 12/02/2003 01:51 AM
This is the first of a series of four articles that look at the state of computing as I imagine it will be five years from now -in the fall of 2008. This week's issue is on Microsoft's vision for its future software. Next week I'll look at where the Unix and open source alternative seems likely to go and, in week three, will focus on the hardware both groups can expect to have available to run their software. The last of the series will then look at the impact these changes are likely to have on the IT industry itself.

09/15/2004 07:29 PM
Microsoft have decided to not make available Virtual Server 2005 for MSDN subscribers. Instead, the company has arranged a special promotion:

The VS and MSDN teams have collaborated to create a special offer for Virtual Server 2005 Standard and Enterprise Editions which are being made available only to MSDN Universal and MSDN Enterprise subscribers between October 1, 2004 and March 31, 2005. This is a special promotional offer.

MSDN Universal and Enterprise level subscribers are being granted special access to Virtual Server 2005 Standard and Enterprise Editions as downloads from MSDN Subscriber Downloads only. Virtual Server 2005 Standard and Enterprise Editions will not be made available by fulfillment or in the monthly subscription shipments.

This is the full retail, production version of the product and does not include the typical MSDN restrictions of running only in dev/test environments and can be run in production (except on XP Pro).

John Lautner's Chemosphere: part
Jetsons, part Bond and vintage L.A.
Modern.
04/07/2005 12:53 PM
The most modern home built in the world. "From the outside it looks like a spaceship you cannot enter. But if you go inside, it feels very cozy… very Zen and calming. Maybe because you are floating above the city, in the sky". John Lautner's Chemosphere residence is the product of a fortuitous union of architect, client, time and place. Leonard Malin was a young aerospace engineer in late-1950s L.A. whose father-in-law had just given him a plot north of Mulholland Drive, near Laurel Canyon. The only catch: at roughly 45 degrees, the slope was all but unbuildable. Lautner sketched a bold vertical line, a cross, and a curve above it. "Draw it up," he told his assistant. Now publisher Benedik t Taschen owns Chemosphere (NSFW), and after 20 years of neglect the house has been beautifully restored (.pdf) by Frank Escher.
