Dit jaar nog zullen de SAS-schijven de Ultra320 schijven voorbij streven in verkochte aantallen. Dit blijkt uit een rapport van Gartner. Gartner verwacht ook dat SATA-6Gbps aan het einde van 2008 de markt zullen domineren. Daarnaast blijft ook het aantal Small Form Factor schijven (2,5") in servers maar toenemen. De belangrijkste reden hiervoor is het lagere energieverbruik.

Nu we meer en meer 64-bit systemen gaan gebruiken wordt de vraag hoe we met pagefiles op dwergelijke OS'en om moeten gaan steeds belangrijker.
Microsoft probeert ons een handje te helpen met een KB-artikel.
SUMMARY
The 64-bit versions of Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Microsoft Windows XP can support more RAM than the 32-bit versions of these products. When lots of memory is added to a computer, a paging file may not be required. When you use the Pages/sec counter to measure paging file use, the value that is returned may not be accurate. To obtain an accurate measurement of paging file use, you must also use other performance counters. You can use System Monitor measurements to calculate the size of the paging file that your computer requires.
Windows Server 2003 Domain Controllers are not supported without a configured pagefile. Because the algorithm the LSASS database cache depends on the "transition pages repurposed/second" perfmon counter, a pagefile is required to make sure that the database cache is capable to release memory if memory is requested by other services or applications.

Wat is er nieuw:
- Wireless (802.11) capturing and monitor mode on Vista – With supported hardware, (Native WIFI), you can now trace wireless management packets. You can scan all channels or a subset of the ones your wireless NIC supports. You can also focus in on one specific channel. We now show the wireless metadata for normal wireless frames. This is really cool for t-shooting wireless problems. See signal strength and transfer speed as you walk around your house!
- RAS tracing support on Vista – Now you can trace your RAS connections so you can see the traffic inside your VPN tunnel. Previously this was only available with XP.
- Right click add to filter – Now there's an easier way to discover how to create filters. Right click in the frame details data element or a column field in the frame summary and select add to filter. What could be easier!
- Microsoft Update enabled – Now you will be prompted when new updates exist. NM3.1 will occasionally check for a new version and notify you when one is available.
- New look filter toolbar – We've changed the UI related to apply and remove filters. You can now apply a filter without having to UN-apply it first.
- New reassembly engine – Our reassembly engine has been improved to handle a larger variety of protocol reassembly schemes.
- New public parsers – These include ip1394, ipcp, ipv6cp, madcap, pppoE, soap, ssdp, winsrpl, as well as improvements in the previously shipped parsers.
- Numerous Bug Fixes – We've taken your reported problems on the connect site and fixed many of the confirmed bugs.
- Faster Parser Loading – We've significantly improved the time it takes to load the parsers. Now rebuilding takes a fraction of the time it used to.

Microsoft heeft een nieuw white paper uitgebracht over de TCO van Windows Mobile versus RIM's Blackberry.
Twee feiten die er volgens Microsoft uit springen zijn:
- Windows Mobile has a 20-28% TCO advantage in deployments (up 5% from the previous study) ranging from 100-10,000 devices.
- We can now challenge a common industry misperception about whether or not having incoming ports opened is good/bad. Our study found that 89% of RIM Blackberry customers already used Outlook Web Access which has the same architecture that our Direct Push email solution uses.

Overview
The ISA Server Best Practices Analyzer is a diagnostic tool that automatically performs specific tests on configuration data collected on the local ISA Server computer from the ISA Server hierarchy of administration COM objects, Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) classes, the system registry, files on disk, and the Domain Name System (DNS) settings.
The resulting report details critical configuration issues, potential problems, and information about the local computer. By following the recommendations of the tool, administrators can achieve greater performance, scalability, reliability, and uptime.
The ISA Server Best Practices Analyzer is supplied with two supplemental tools.
• The ISA Data Packager enables you to create a single .cab file containing ISA Server diagnostic information that can be easily sent to Microsoft Product Support Services for analysis.
• BPA2Visio generates a Microsoft Office Visio® 2003 or Visio 2007 diagram of your network topology as seen from the ISA Server computer based on output from the ISA Server Best Practices Analyzer Tool output.

Op het blog van het Exchange team staat een verhaal over het gebruik van certificaten met Exchange. Het artikel is een samenvatting van eerdere blogposts en haalt ook informatie aan uit een white paper van Microsoft.
Het verhaal is een soort walkthru met aanwijzingingen hoe een gemiddeld bedrijfje TLS kan gebruiken in een Exchange 2007 omgeving en niet alleen voor POP3 of IMAP.
