Microsoft has been saying the Exchange 2007 Service Pack 2 (SP2) would be released “around” Q3 2009 and today, the wait is finally over! Microsoft has officially launched Microsoft Exchange 2007 SP2, and it’s available for download on the Microsoft Download Center Site: – Exchange Server 2007 Service Pack 2 Download Link. […]
Microsoft released Windows Live Movie Maker today for Windows 7 and Windows Vista. Being a long-time fan of Windows Movie Maker for Windows XP, I’m very excited to see that Microsoft has finally taken Windows Live Movie Maker out of beta! Best yet, like the original Movie Maker and Movie Maker 2, it’s FREEWARE. […]
Today Microsoft released the 1.0 version of the Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7. The Tools allow IT administrators to manage roles and features installed on computers that are running Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2008, or Windows Server 2003 from a remote computer running Windows 7. Details from Microsoft: Overview: […]
Microsoft has delivered on their Promise! Windows 7 RTM GOLD CODE is now officially released and available for download for Technet and MSDN Subscribers. Unlike the day of the RC release, the download servers appear to be much faster. I was able to download the ISOs without incident. So far VERY GROOVY! […]
It’s official. Windows 7 has gone RTM (Released to Manufacturing.) This means that Microsoft will now be delivering the final Windows 7 GOLD code to all their partners like DELL, HP, Toshiba, McAfee, etc. so they can prepare their products for the General Availability (GA) launch of Windows 7 on October 22nd, 2009. Along […]
Today Microsoft released the IT Environment Health Scanner (V. 6.0.5700.44) for small to medium sized businesses. To install you will need to know the IP address of your primary firewall, subnet mask, and Windows Domain Admin rights (and Exchange Server rights if you have Exchange in your environment.) The download is Freeware, so I encourage […]
Although a day late, SCOM 2007 R2 just hit the Microsoft MLVS site and is available for download. SCOM 2007 is a huge release for SCOM (formerly known as MOM – Microsoft Operations Manger) with many new features and upgrades including improved performance, support for NON Windows Servers such as Linux and Unix, integration […]
The wait is over. Firefox 3.5 has finally been released and is available for immediate download. I’ll soon be writing about some of the new features of Firefox 3.5 (improved privacy and improved clearing of history, tab tearing, video support, etc.) Until then, however, here’s the official list from the Mozilla Site: From the […]
Today Microsoft released the Release Candidate for Hyper-V Server 2008 R2. Full speed ahead it seems at Microsoft. Microsoft is trying to narrow the gap with VMWare with the R2 release of Hyper-V Server, but they still have a long way to go. You can grab a Download Here. Here are the details […]
Microsoft this week released Office 2007 Service Pack 2 for both their Office Products and Server products which they are advertising as providing new bug fixes and improving stability and performance. I can’t think of a reason why you wouldn’t want to go grab these installs immediately and get them installed however before you run […]
Back in March 2009, Microsoft released a Freeware tool called RichCopy 4.0. RichCopy is essentially RoboCopy with a nice GUI on it. I’ve used the tool a few times in testing, and it’s not that bad. Personally, I have little need for a tool like this since most of my large data transfers are […]
Today Microsoft released SQL Server 2008 SP1. I have to say, since SQL Server 2003 2000, Microsoft has done a great job with SQL. VERY few if any SQL Exploits and an overall solid app. Granted in 2008 we saw a HUGE price spike (~36% increase), but I think we all knew that was coming. […]
We all knew it was going to happen and today Microsoft made it official by posting the Download Bits for Sharepoint Designer 2007. Here’s the Download Link! Being intimately familiar with Microsoft’s License team and contracts (yeah, I’ve negotiated a few EAs in my day <unfortunately,>) it’s not everyday Microsoft will give away […]
It’s official, this morning Microsoft released Internet Explorer 8 (IE8.) If you’re looking for the download link, I suggest heading here: http://www.microsoftpost.com/?s=windows+internet+explorer+8 for the Download Link and all the Internet Explorer 8 goodness. 😉 Packed full of new features and concepts I guess it’s time I finally install it on my primary box.
