Darren should know the dangers of comparing things like operating systems to motor vehicles, Bill Gates certainly has. Darren does have a good point, Vista doesn’t have one single killer feature that appeals to everyone, it has thousands of killer features which appeal to different groups of people...

Resistance is futile. We caught up with Geoff recently and injected him with nano probes. It was only a short amount of time before he started showing tell-tale signs that he was being assimilated into Readify. Of course – Frank thinks that there may have been an early warning sign. Anyway –...

Coffee, without a doubt is the drug of addiction of choice for most people in Australia – I suggest that 90% of the Australian population drinks more coffee than beer or wine (90% of all statistics are made up), so its not surprising that the busiest time for serving coffee is a dash before...

Looks like someone was listening to the check-ins to our internal Team Foundation Server installation. Of course, when I posted that comment I expected it to be a closely guarded corporate secret, and not have it blurted out across the Internet. We may as well just create an RSS feed and throw it out...
