28.09.2006Will replication in Exchange Server 2007 SP1 woo IT?
With the first service pack for Exchange Server 2007 due out at any time, the question is whether or not some of its new replication features will get
IT managers to jumpstart their migrations from older Exchange platforms on to the new messaging server.
Microsoft has promised
Exchange Server 2007 SP1 for the fourth quarter of this year. The big new feature will be standby continuous replication, or SCR, which lets IT
managers replicate an Exchange Server to another location, which could then be activated if there were a disaster at the company's main location.
Exchange Server 2007 came with local continuous replication and cluster continuous replication. The LCR copies the Exchange Server
onto another location on the same server, while CCR gives IT manager's instant fail-over to another server at the same location. The addition of SCR
means IT managers will have a third copy of the Exchange Server at a remote location, although it has to be activated manually.

Yeap, that's right. Microsoft has released the third edition of their 'Laptop Hunters' ad campaign, following on from the first and
second. The first ad featured a woman named Lauren, and the second was a guy named Giampaolo, and, you guessed it, they chose a PC. Keeping with the
trend, you won't be surprised that the stars of this ad, Lisa and Jackson, choose a PC as well. You know the deal; they're given $1500 to
find and buy a laptop, and they keep what they buy, and any change left over. Lisa wants a computer that is fast, has a big hard drive and Jackson
wants a good gaming computer.

NY family has to pay the RIAA $7,000 after court case
The most loved organization in the world, the RIAA, has won a case against a New York family for illegally downloading music. The case was originally
filed against Patricia Santangelo, 46, a mother of five, who resides in Wappingers Falls, N.Y but was later dropped and re-filled against her two
sons. Rather than taking the settlement agreement the two sons and mother decided to fight the RIAA and nearly $15,000 was raised by online
sympathizers to help fight the industry. The result, nearly 4 years later, is that the family will have to pay $7000.00 for songs downloaded that
included "‘MMMBop' by Hanson and ‘Beat It' by Michael Jackson.

21.12.2005Jackson Agrees to Halo Movie Delay
It was too good to be true
wasn't it? One of the worlds
biggest directors joined hands
with one of the biggest games
of the last generation, only a
pesky Italian plumber could
put a leak in these works.
Halo the movie has officially
been postponed until new
backing can be found to fund
the project.
Film
studios Fox and Universal
pulled out last month, but the
film-makers vowed to continue
with the project. Now
Microsoft says it has
"mutually agreed" to delay
the film with Jackson and his
co-producer Fran Walsh. "We
are confident that the final
feature film will be well
worth the wait," it said in a
statement.
There
had been rumours that costs
associated with the film could
rise to 踜m, after an
initial budget had been set at
around 趚m. The
film-makers said the studios
pulled out after they and
Microsoft refused to reduce
their deals on the project.

02.11.2006Infected job search sites lead to info theft for 46,000
A security researcher at
SecureWorks Inc. has uncovered
a cache of financial and
personal data that was stolen
from about 46,000 individuals
by a variant of Prg, a Trojan
program gaining notoriety for
its quick-change behaviors.
The stolen data includes bank
and credit card account
information and Social
Security numbers as well as
usernames and passwords for
online accounts. Many of the
victims were infected and
reinfected as they visited
several leading online job
search sites, including the
popular Monster.com.
Don Jackson, the SecureWorks
researcher who found the
collection, said it was the
largest single cache of data
he discovered from the Prg
Trojan, a piece of malware
first seen in the wild in
June. According to Jackson,
the server he examined is
still collecting stolen data,
with up to 10,000 victims
feeding it information at any
particular time. It's not
entirely clear how the stolen
information in the latest
attacks is being used, but
Jackson says that the kind of
data that the Trojan has
cached seems to indicate that
the data is being stolen for
identity theft purposes.

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."
