Need to use USB from Virtual PC or Virtual Server?
It seems that from today it's possible: March 29, 2006 USB over Network v2.2 has been released. Full compatibility with VMware, MS Virtual PC and MS Virtual Server is added. I've not yet tried it... I'm pretty busy at the moment, buy if you try it, please...
InVirtus VM Optimizer 2.0 Review
I tried a prerelease version of InVirtus VM Optimizer 2.0 and the only thing that I can say is that it really rocks!!! It's a software that can optimize Microsoft (Virtual PC and Virtual Server) and VMware (Workstation and GSX Server) virtual machines...

Why Windows Isn't Quite Ready for the Desktop I really thought it was a joke, but I laughed more when I realized that it wasn't... :-D
Other Windows XP SP2 goodies...
XP SP2 doesn't include only fixes or security related additions. It includes also: Windows Movie Maker 2.1 Windows Media Player 9 Series Perhaps this is related to the HUGE download size... :-)
Ok, XP SP2 is here... Now where are the SP1 of VS.NET 2002 and 2003?
I've downloaded and installed Windows XP SP2 and everything is ok! I was already using build 2162, so I was prepared, but the update process was very very smooth. Now I remember that some folks from Microsoft promised that right after the SP2 release...
Installing Windows XP SP2 RC1 on an ASUS A2800S... Mission completed!!!
Yesterday I decided to retry to install Windows XP SP2 RC1 on my new notebook ( see here for my previous failed tries... ). I installed it, and I started in safe mode. Everything crashed, but I noticed that one of the latest loaded drivers was UAGP35...
