I know I have not been present for awhile however today (after listening to last weeks Windows Weekly with Leo Laporte and Paul Thurrott) I went out to check on my “LIVE” web site and yes it is changing.
Windows LIVE found at http://home.live.com is a place to go and get connected or at least it would appear. I go there to get to my Spaces and to access Sky Drive which is now up to 25 GB of storage space – and still FREE. I really think one needs to check this out.
In the past in this blog I have talked about "I Want Sandy" as a 'reminder' service that one could use that had many advantages. There is a note at the top of their web site that it is going off line permanently on December 8th. I also received word from Pownce that it is also shutting down however Pownce, it's developers and the technology is moving to Six Apart so not sure what the future will hold.
There will be a Window's Vista Service Pack 2 (as well as a Window's Server 2008 SP2)and should be available December 4th as a Customer Preview Program. I grabbed this from the Windows Vista Team Blog. You can check it out.
On another note; I picked up the Dec 2008/Jan 2009 copy of Fast Company tonight and it has a rather interesting article regarding Cisco and John Chambers. It is a rather good management/leadership read. There are other things in Fast Company that I like and I find it worth the time - very much so.
Enjoy
