Add-ons

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

Looks like Microsoft has some interesting things in the plans as far as add-on’s for Windows Server 2003. The most interesting thing I saw was the Virtual Server that would let businesses migrate to 2003 but still have a place to run legacy applications that aren’t compatible with 2003. That one, I think, will be a very important piece of the puzzle, especially for smaller businesses that can’t afford to replace some of their legacy apps. If they can get that right, they eliminate quite a few of the reasons not to upgrade to 2003. (Not all, but some..)

    Like I said yesterday, there’s been no signs of blaster on the loose on our work network, or our home network, but that hasn’t stopped me from having to email a few people at work the link to Symantec’s removal tool because they got it at home! Sometimes we forget just how many people out…

    It’s hard to believe, I know, but today marks the 10 month mark of working at the law firm instead of being the one man IT Department that I was before. It seems about as good a time as any to do a little reflecting on the plusses and minuses to working as part of…
