Microsoft heeft dan eindelijk haar high-end produkt Windows Compute Cluster 2003 af. Het nieuwe pakket heeft het zogenaamde Release to Manufacturer stadium bereikt en zal het tijdens TechEd 2006 (is nu bezig in Boston) demonstreren.
Microsoft benadrukt dat dergelijke software, waarmee zogenaamde High-performance Computing applicaties parallel uitgeveord kunnen worden, dus niet langer is voorbehouden aan wetenschappelijke of technische toepassingen maar ook voor "gewone business problematiek".
Wel opvallendis dat de software alleen draait op 64-bits hardware maar verder past het gewoon in Microsoft's Windows-concept. Van hardwareleveranciers worden later dit jaar oplossingen gebaseerd op Compute Cluster 2003 verwacht. Dit produkt is zeker niet strijdig met produkten die leveranciers als HP en IBM zelf al hebben. Deze oplossing is bedoeld voor kleinere installaties, minstens voor oplossingen goedkoper dan $ 1 miljoen, maar eigenlijk zelfs voor sub $ 250.000 installaties (werkgroep en afedelingsniveau). Hier verwacht Microsoft de werkelijke groei.
De software zal in augustus beschikbaar komen tegen een prijs van zo'n $ 469 per node. Evaluatie versies zijn hier te downloaden.

Overview
The Microsoft Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool checks Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows Server 2003 computers for and helps remove infections by specific, prevalent malicious software—including Blaster, Sasser, and Mydoom. When the detection and removal process is complete, the tool displays a report describing the outcome, including which, if any, malicious software was detected and removed. The tool creates a log file named mrt.log in the %WINDIR%\debug folder.
This tool is not a replacement for an anti-virus product. To help protect your computer, you should use an anti-virus product.
Microsoft will release an updated version of this tool on the second Tuesday of each month. New versions will be made available through this web page, Windows Update, and the Malicious Software Removal Tool Web site on Microsoft.com.
To have the newest versions automatically delivered and installed as soon as they are released, set the Automatic Updates feature to Automatic. The version of this tool delivered by Windows Update runs on your computer once a month, in the background. If an infection is found, the tool will display a status report the next time you start your computer. If you would like to run this tool more than once a month, run the version that is available from this Web page or use the version on the Malicious Software Removal Tool Web site.
Please review KB890830 for the list of malicious software that the current version of the tool is capable of removing as well as usage instructions. Also, please be aware that this tool reports anonymous information back to Microsoft in the event that an infection is found or an error is encountered. The above KB article contains information on how to disable this functionality and what specific information is sent to Microsoft.
It is strongly recommended that you review KB891716 before you consider deploying this tool in an enterprise environment.
The user must be an administrator to run this tool. This tool will not run on any version of Windows 98, Windows ME, or Windows NT 4.0.
Note that this download is now a multi-lingual tool. For all supported languages, the same tool will show the correct language depending on the language of the operating system.

Steven Bink is in Boston op TechEd 2006. Hier heeft hij vernomen dat Exchange 2007 feature complete is vanaf beta 2. De beta zal eind juli beschikbaar komen.
Een opmerkelijke verandering was het hernieuwde schrappen van de ondersteuning voor NAS-storage. Wat velen niet weten is dat de ondersteuning voor opslag op een NAS met Exchange 2003 SP1 weer teruggekomen was. Nu echter de ondersteuning voor iSCSI is verbeterd (initiator 2.01) en Windows Storage Server 2003 R2 zelfs iSCSI target ondersteuning krijgt vond Microsoft ondersteuning van NAS niet meer nodig. Dit is te langzaam.

Azaleos, een e-mail storage management bedrijf, en haar partners IBM en Microsoft hebben een appliance op de markt gebracht voor Exchange server. Deze turnkey-oplossing versimpelt de anders zo complexe Exchange omgevingen.
Tijdens TechEd in Boston demonstreerde Azaleos het BladeMail systeem, een diskless systeem gebaseerd op IBM BladeCenter hardware met een N3700 storage subsysteem. Behalve een beschikbaarheid van 99,999% biedt het systeem ook nog disaster recovery mogelijkheden waaronder het kopieren van de volledige Exchange database naar een ander systeem.
