04.03.2009Windows Server 2003 - XP
Conversion Pack
Windows Server 2003 is well
known for its superior speed,
stability, and security when
compared to Windows XP. This
fact is proven by
Microsoft's use of the
Windows Server 2003 kernel in
both Windows x64 Edition and
the upcoming Windows Vista.
Given this fact, it's no
wonder that many Windows users
have already switched to
Windows Server 2003 to gain
such improvements. However,
these users will have no doubt
also discovered that
compatibility issues are
common when using Windows
Server 2003 as a primary
home-use OS. Until Now... We
are proud to present version
2.0 of Windows X's
popular Windows Server 2003 -
XP Conversion Pack. This tool
will convert the Windows 2003
codebase from ServerNT to
WinNT, which will enable
locked features and transform
Windows Server 2003 into a
more compatible, and usable OS
like Windows XP. After
converting, your OS will
perform like Windows XP
Professional x64 Edition.
Finally you can gain all the
advantages of running Windows
Server 2003, without the
compatibility headaches!..

The ongoing "Vista Capable" class-action lawsuit against Microsoft took an interesting turn the other day when an expert witness for the plaintiffs
claimed that the Redmond company made more than $1.5 billion through their "Vista Capable" marketing campaign. The origins of the trial itself
are to be found in the months prior to Vista's release when many computers were sold with Windows XP and the promise that they would be capable of
running Vista. However, many of these PCs, which sold at a premium and bore the "Vista Capable" label, turned out to be only capable of running
Vista Basic. Hence, Microsoft is being sued for what many would call false advertising.

06.01.2009Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7
Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 enables IT administrators to manage roles and features that are installed on remote computers that
are running Windows Server 2008 R2 (and, for some roles and features, Windows Server 2008 or Windows Server 2003) from a remote computer that is
running Windows 7.
It includes support for remote management of computers that are running either the Server Core or full
installation options of Windows Server 2008 R2, and for some roles and features, Windows Server 2008. Some roles and features on Windows Server 2003
can be managed remotely by using Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7, although the Server Core installation option is not available with
the Windows Server 2003 operating system.
This feature is comparable in functionality to the Windows Server 2003 Administrative
Tools Pack and Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows Vista with Service Pack 1 (SP1).
