Microsoft's support tweaks leave some email admins out in the cold

| He added that because upgrading the server OS underneath 
| an existing Exchange server wasnât supported, MS has made 
| the painful decision to ditch Exchange 2007 SP2 support 
| and focus instead on the existing Exchange 2007 deployment 
| on Windows Server 2008 R2 domain controllers.

Is Microsoft saying âPlease use our productsâ? â MS pleads for support?

,----[ Quote ]
| In my opinion the desperation of Microsoft in wanting 
| you to use itâs products is displayed perfectly in the 
| Windows 7 Party campaign (below video) where it takes a 
| Tupperware/Ann Summers type approach to try and get YOU 
| to promote its software with the enticement of chances 
| to win prizes etc (IMO).  As Iâve said before, it 
| appears to me that Microsoft gets its advocacy by 
| enticements.  A little different to someone who 
| recommends Linux eh?

London Stock Exchange in denial over system outage

| The LSE absolved its core TradElect platform from blame. The system, designed
| and built by Accenture, runs on HP ProLiant Servers and Microsoft .Net and
| SQL Server 2000 systems. Accenture declined to comment on Monday's events.
| The LSE said, "we won't discuss dealings with our individual suppliers".
|
| Bob McDowall, senior analyst at Tower Group, said sparse explanations
| provided by the LSE so far were ânot very satisfactoryâ.
