fantastic quote from TechNet Magazine

I got the latest issue of TechNet Magazine over the weekend (for October 2009) and there are some fantastic articles about Windows 7 and what's new in 2008 R2.


One of the articles is entitled "Windows 7: The 10 Things You Must Do First" and it includes the following quote: "It's amazing how the most unsophisticated user, incapable of so much as a password reset without helpdesk support, can install complex multi-tiered, client-server, front-end applications if the reward involves shopping or sports."


How true that is.  It is still amazing to me how much junk people can get installed on their computers in a very VERY short amount of time.  I know, a lot of it is pretty convincing or hidden or misleading, but still.


Gotta love IT!

Windows 7 Remote Server Admin. Tools

I've been using Windows 7 RTM for a few weeks now (and love it). I wanted to use the 2003 admin. pack but apparently there's a new version for it.

The "Remote Server Administration Tools for Windows 7 RTM" is what I was looking for, and it's downloading as we speak.

The new version can be found here (along with install instructions).
