I’ve been avoiding activating Windows installations in my home test environment with the product keys from my TechNet subscription because I’ve been afraid of running out of keys.

While attempting to unzip a file this afternoon, Windows was just not going to play ball: That’s 5.99 petabytes – I’m probably not going to see that much storage space in a desktop machine for a few years.

Michael over at 4sysops has taken a shot at the Windows Server 2008 Step-by-Step Guides and I’m left scratching my head. His beef with the guides is that they haven’t yet been updated for RTM and still include some older terminology: In this manual, they still talk about “Windows Server virtualization (wsv)†even though wsv [...]
