Well have been a little busy over the last few weeks, and must apologize for not blogging for a while. I have Moved office Twice in the last 3 weeks!!! From Lavington to Wodonga, and then withing the same building in Wodonga :S
Have installed Vista Beta 2 on my Toshiba Tecra M5 (CoreDuo 2.0GHz, 1GB DDR-2, 256MB Nvidia Quadro, 100GB HDD) and i must say I'm quite impressed! It works extremely well, the only problem i have had so far is in relation to full screen video (But I'm expecting that the cause is my video drivers, with NVIDIA not having released a driver for my Card yet :-( which also means no glass to date :-( ). Also running Office 2007 beta 2 on it and i am extremely impressed. Other betas I'm using include Windows Media Player 11, IE7, Trend Micro PC-Cillin 2007 and ActiveSync.
It has been a big few weeks in the IT World (well mainly the Microsoft World), with those 2 betas being released, windows live messenger having a full version released (Thats right its no longer beta), and Robert Scoble and Bill Gates both leaving MS in the same week (well BillG just announced that he would go to part time in 2 years). Also of significant news for SBS users Windows Small Business Server 2003 R2 has been RTM, I'm looking forward to this release, as i am a patchaholic, and the integration of WSUS into the SBS management console and wizards will be great :D
I have succesfully managed to miss the first 2 meeting of the new Albury Wodonga .Net User Group which i am quite dissapointed about, but will definately make it to the next one :D i would also like to see an IT Pro group in our area, but one bunch of things at a time ;-)
Well back to work now, gotta get things done before i go to Sydney this weekend to watch the Swans beat Collingwood :P
