Long time scripters will, I'm sure, know this. Useful to mention as I was writing a script over the long weekend (it was memorial day here in the US yesterday - makes up for the many UK bank holidays I've missed over the past couple of months!) which...

Another webcast worth watching. This is relevant for Windows Server virtualization as, if you haven't gathered by now, there are some very fundamental differences between Virtual Server 2005 and Windows Server virtualization. I'm not just talking huge...

This week has been a little strained, hence quiet on the blogging front. Apart from a hectic week at work (more to follow on that shortly), the reason was a "disaster" which happened late last Sunday evening - everything was working at home one moment...

The simple answer is a definite yes. However, it's sometimes useful to have a "finger in the air" gauge of how much. I therefore did some very unscientific measurements using my watch to compare timings for some basic functions. Of course, before reading...
