  • TechEd 2006 IT Forum - Day One (cont'd)

    What a weird day this was. Woke up terribly sick and tired; guess the roundtrip through the city last weekend on top of the roof of a tourist bus is the evil (maybe the late night edition at Friday has to be blamed as well). As I mentioned earlier today, Bob's keynote kept me awake. But after that I...

  • Demo tip - Pushd & Popd

    A little nice trick (on Windows XP and later) to navigate more quickly through folders is the use of pushd and popd . The names should ring the stack bell almost immediately. The commands are nothing more and nothing less than the cd command with stack support: This one is on my demo tips-n-tricks list...

  • Windows Vista - Look mom, I'm ReadyBoost enabled

    Just bought a new USB stick with a capacity of 4 GB (3.78 GiB ); ideal to transfer ISO files and even VHD files (no, uncompressed Vista VHDs won't fit on the device).

  • Talking about Windows Vista BitLocker Drive Encryption - important installation notes

    The story In the beta 2 ages of Windows Vista, I decided to give BitLocker Drive Encryption a try . It turned out to be pretty straightforward to turn this feature on (using a USB key for key storage as my laptop lacks a TPM) by just going to the Control Panel, Security and the BitLocker Drive Encryption...

  • My first Windows Vista Beta 2 BSoD - Basics of WinDbg crash dump analysis

    It had to happen sooner or later, running a beta of an operating system intensively day after day. Okay, it isn't funny to have a Blue Screen of Death (btw, did you know the RSoD feature has been dropped from Vista?) but as my fellow community member - and WinDbg expert - Hans De Smaele always tells...

  • Longhorn Server Beta 1 - One first little weird thing

    Longhorn and Vista introduce a new kind of Start Menu which includes a search textbox to find your programs faster. However, I'm a WinKey, P, A, arrow left, arrow down, arrow down, ENTER guy to open something (in this case Active Directory Users and Computers). However, due to the introduction of the...

  • Good search engines know me :-)

    Yesterday I took a look at my blog visitor stats through the admin pages of my blogging engine and remarked a huge peak on my post about Vista Beta 1 installation instructions for Virtual PC . Well, it seems that the really good search engines out there know about my excellent post (wow, these words...
