Lost in the Windows 7 hype, Microsoft also released the beta of Windows Server 2008 R2, which is the companion to the client OS. The company is
aligning Windows Server 2008 R2, which briefly was referred to as Windows Server 7, and the client OS Windows 7 although Microsoft officials have not
said if they will ship together. But users who adopt both will get new security, network, and other features although some of those will require
network upgrades like implementing IPv6. The R2 beta's integration with Windows 7 is high on the server's feature list.

20.01.2009Operations Manager 2007 Service Pack 1 News
The high level themes of the System Center Operations Manger 2007 Service Pack 1 are:
- Address critical customer initiated issues including
roll-up of all hotfixes
- Make the product easier to support
- Make the product easier to use
- Make the product
easier to deploy
In the beginning of November there will be a public Release Candidate (RC). This release (RC) is fully upgradable to the final
RTM version of the Service Pack. The reasons the product team is making the RC of the Service Pack generally available are:
- To give customers
evaluating OpsMgr 2007 advance access to the SP to aid in their evaluation and proof of concept deployments
- To give current OpsMgr 2007
customers that may have hotfixes in their environment an opportunity to test the Service Pack and provide feedback on it
- Ultimately to
make sure that the final RTM release of the Service Pack is of the highest possible quality.
The final RTM version of the Service Pack is targeted
for mid-February 2008. This version of the Service Pack will be able to be applied to upgrade the originally released RTM version of Operations
Manager 2007 and it will also upgrade Operations Manager 2007 running the Release Candidate of SP1.

28.05.2008Announcing Windows Server 2008 R2
Windows Server 2008 R2 showed its pretty face at the Professional Developers Conference today, here in Los Angeles. Hi there, my names Oliver Rist and
Im a new technical product manager on the Windows Server team. Im down here in La-La Land heaving great sighs of satisfaction as we unveil the first
sneak peeks of pre-beta Windows Server 2008 R2. Though this release is right in line with our announced roadmap strategy for future Server releases,
there are several items of note with R2:
First and foremost, 32-bit is done. History. Archives. Windows Server 2008 R2 is the
first Windows OS platform to go 64-bit only, and frankly it was high time. Customers have been unable to purchase a 32-bit server CPU for over two
years now, and the advancements in CPU architectures really dictated that we squeeze as much performance out of customers hardware purchases as
possible. The move to 64-bit is a first step.
Youll also find that weve aligned R2 development around four core technology
pillars...

02.10.2007Trojan, distributed over torrent, blocks torrent sites
A trojan named Troj/Qhost-AC, has been spotted on torrent sites labeled as a keygen for popular software. But in a strange surprise, the trojan would
modify the users host file, rather than generating a key, changing popular torrent web sites like, The Pirate Bay, Suprbay (The Pirate Bay forum) and
Mininova, the two most popular torrent sites on the internet to 127.0.0.1, making it impossible to visit these sites. The Trojan caused pop-ups on
users screens and played a sound file saying "downloading is wrong". The Trojan didn't install any other spyware or malware onto the victims
PC, other than blocking the three web sites, something that many users thought was strange.

The Technical Preview of Office 2010 has officially leaked! WZor.net uploaded a torrent a few hours ago for both the x86 and x64 versions of the

Without further ado, I present:
Microsoft Office 2010 (x86)
AND
Microsoft Office 2010 (x64)
The x64
torrent doesn't seem to be very active at the moment, but over time, as it gains more seeders, hopefully it will pick up. We were achieving speeds of
up to 1000kbps during our download of the x86 version, so the torrent is going strong... That is, until the rest of the world picks up on it...
Download quickly!
While you eagerly await the end of your download, check out a screenshot gallery from WZor as well (the version pictured
in the screenshots is the x64 version).

and Bit Torrent traffic does exist and it is anticipated that the effectiveness of this will be tested in the live pilot trial". It is a drastic
step to filter out all P2P and Bit Torrent traffic as it assumes that those channels are only used for piracy. One example of legitimate use is the
popular online game World of Warcraft.
