As I suspected, some folks (based on feedback on the blog and email to me), made some points about cost - specifically, saying that SPS is too expensive. Above and beyond the points I made in my quite lengthy blog entry, fundamentally, you must ask yourself - "what exactly do you want to do today and where do you want to go?" The first, obvious point that I didn't mention in my most recent blog entry in the TCO section is that Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) is part of the Windows Server ...

Seriously, Windows needs to get worse to become better. I've
written about how Office has too much stuff. I now believe, for the average user,
Windows has the same problem.
This conclusion results from a discussion after watching a recording of brands in
the public space by Friedrich
von Borries (Author of "Who
is Afraid of Niketown" and creator of Urban-Diary)
given in mid December in Zurich at the ETH. I liked the ideas of activating the public

Its been the Linux crowd who has been telling everybody, that every vulnerability needs to be disclosed imediatly. Now they have changed thier mind. Despite the ability to fix every bug, now
they think it is required to have a closed security mailing list. Furthermore they want to withhold information when they do not have a bug fix yet. This of cause is the correct practice. I only wonder why it took them so long to realize it.

Video search engines have been getting quite the hype this week as Yahoo! and Google introduced
a video search engine to the public. But wait, only Google truely searches in video
content. Yahoo! only searches through images names and basic meta data. But if you
think they are pioneering anything at all, you are quite wrong. At least HP
has been providing the same service long before.
So audio mining has been around since some time, even for your own use,&...

I was surprised a few years back when James, a friend of mine, introduced me to what looked like "Spam sushi" - nori seaweed paper rolled around sushi-vinegared rice and a big long hunk of spam. I made the normal protests ("I'm too hip and cool for this Spam business ") and then shut the <blank> up and tried it. It....was.....AMAZING. I couldn't believe it. The official Hawaiian dish is called Spam musubi and you can find a recipe here, but you should really follow the traditional s...

I am afraid that
I'm rapidly becoming more convinced than even
Ted that
SOA == web services == RPC with angle brackets.
The more people
I talk to, the more I realize that virtually no one is actually talking about service-oriented
analysis, architecture or design. They are using SOA as a synonym for web services,
and they are using web services as a replacement for DCOM, RMI, remoting or whatever
RPC protocol they used before.

When I first got involved with Microsoft
it was around 1990 or ’91. The world of the time was dominated by IBM, with
DEC a close second. If you wanted to network PCs you used Novell or Banyan. All PC
programs were DOS programs. “Windows” was just one of many graphical libraries
being used by software to handle drawing on the screen. And if you wanted to do real
work you used a mainframe or minicomputer.

Many search engine optimization firms still tout guarantees of top ten rankings. A specific ranking or position guarantee on organic search engine listings is not practical for a couple of reasons:
1. Search Engines are in Control - SEO firms do not have control over how search engines algorithmically rank pages. We can identify the strong influencers and use what has worked in the past to
