23.07.2009Is Michael Dell The Devil?
Is Dell CEO Michael Dell, who is wooing solution providers with a nascent channel program and at the same time launching a managed services offensive,
devil or angel?
That was the question ConnectWise CEO Arnie Bellini took head on at the kickoff Friday of the third annual
ConnectWise Partner summit. To dramatize just how he views the Dell threat, Bellini showed a slide of a CRN Cover story titled "Dell Hits The Wall"
and drew devil horns and a devil goatee on the magazine photo of Dell CEO Michael Dell.
"I respect Michael Dell," said Bellini
before a packed Tampa Marriott ballroom of 600 ConnectWise software and solution provider partners, many of whom hooted and roared with laughter at
the Dell Devil likeness. "He is an aggressive, capitalististic entrepreneur. That is what we are dealing with though. It is not his fault. If we
don't take control of our marketplace it is going to be our fault."

22.09.2007Michael Dell: Vista will win out in two years
Despite research that found Vista uptake among businesses is slowing, Michael Dell has predicted that most companies will migrate to the OS within two
years.
Dell's chief executive has predicted that most of his company's business customers will migrate to Vista by 2009.
Speaking to journalists at Gartner's ITxpo Symposium in Orlando, Florida last week, Michael Dell said: "We have a number
who have gone to Vista, and almost all are planning to go to Vista: some in 2008, and some in 2009. As they take on new IT
deployments with new hardware features, Vista will be much better supported."
However, Dell's assertions run contrary to
research published earlier in October by market research company Context, which found that Vista sales for business machines were slowing.

Microsoft's Michael Howard: Security must be a part of every application
Security needs to become a way of life in application development, Microsoft's Michael Howard says. In this Q&A he explains how you need to use tools
and educate people to make sure your applications aren't weak links.
Do you have a sense of where developers are in their
original natural state in terms of security?
Michael Howard: There are two major buckets on the whole. On the whole, developers
in the industry need a bit of help. The actual level of security expertise in the marketplace is abysmally low. I was talking with some academics
recently about this -- we were hiring really bright people out of school, and basically they don't know how to build secure software. And it's
really scary. With that said, we recognise that's why we have the SDL process. It is really an education. We have to
fill that gap.

Microsoft virtualisation: free, as in beer
Virtualisation in all shapes
and sizes is definitely a hot
topic at this years
Tech.Ed.
I've already gone into
quite a bit of depth on application
virtualisation with
SoftGrid, but what about
Microsoft's plans for OS
virtualisation -- Virtual PC
and Virtual Server? Why should
anyone care, when VMWare has
perfected this market over the
years?
Well, first of all, I'll
just point out that the
Microsoft stuff is free. And
that's as good a reason as
any to pay attention to it!
I caught up
with Microsoft Australia's
Michael Kleef and Andrew
Dugdell to talk about
virtualisation. Michael is a
technology evangelist with
Microsoft and Dugdell is a MVP
(Most Valuable Professional)
for virtualisation.

have also this global boom in the economy, particularly out of the U.S., fueled by small business and consumers who are gobbling up notebooks, so a
big priority for us and a big change in how the market is shaped," he said.

NBC Olympic Coverage Shines as Silverlight Proving Ground
Like Michael Phelps, Microsoft is chasing gold at the Olympics. With its Silverlight rich Internet application technology, Microsoft is helping NBC

Beijing.
If Microsoft's Silverlight continues to have the success it has had in streaming video coverage of the Olympic Games

computations" Dryad supports.
