This evening, before I left work and joined rush hour traffic I decided to show a couple of tech-savvy Vista haters (you know who you are!) how un-hardware resource hogging Windows 7 really is. I headed for the office laptop museum and pulled out an old HP nc4010, I ran the install off a 32GB USB key because this notebook does not have an integrated CD or DVD-ROM drive.
The install completed in under half an hour and picked up practically all drivers (wireless and sound were picked up via Windows Update), the performance was as good as XP if not better! The bottom line is that as a corporate customer we could not consider a mass Vista deployment without a comprehensive hardware upgrade program (not happening in this economic climate!), but with Windows 7 we could stay as is – dinosaurs and all!

Call recording is quite often a real challenge for the enterprise and after you decide to move away from TDM based technologies to VoIP it can get even more confusing. With OCS 2007 there are a number of call scenarios to account for:
Some of these (as explained in Tom Keating’s Blog) do not even hit your PBX for example scenario 1. Tom does however do a great job of detailing options available today and it does make it clear that an enterprise level solution is required. Perhaps some day soon when OCS becomes your IP-PBX we can have an integrated solution, this may be the one disadvantage of a no-rip and replace solution – well you can’t have it all can you?

Apple has started to pull voice enabled applications from its iPhone App Store.
A Google spokesperson said:
We work hard to bring Google applications to a number of mobile platforms, including the iPhone. Apple did not approve the Google Voice application we submitted six weeks ago to the Apple App Store. We will continue to work to bring our services to iPhone users — for example, by taking advantage of advances in mobile browsers.
This re-confirms one of the major downfalls in Apple’s iPhone App Store, there has been many occasions where the enforcement of these policies have caused moans and groans within the Tech community.

Microsoft UK launches a website that shows off cool new technology.
Taken from Steve Clayton’s Blog:
Microsoft Wave is a cool new site from our UK team that is something we’ve long been without – a cool site that isn’t trying to sell anything, simply showing the breadth of cool technology that Microsoft is involved in. It’s very much in the spirit of Blue Monster so I was delighted to see that image on the homepage which launched today. I’m also very happy to be one of two featured bloggers from our UK office.
I’ve been giving quite a few “innovation at Microsoft” presentations of late so at the very least this gives me a single site I can point people to following those talks. As of today it has the Microsoft 2019 video, Photosynth, Natal, Worldwide Telescope, Deepzoom and more.
Let us know what you think?
Currently Wave hosts information on:
