Microsoft launches Exchange Server 2007 SP1 2007-12-02 03:51:03 Microsoft on Friday launched Service Pack 1 for Windows Exchange Server 2007. Features include additions to the Exchange management console, Outlook web access and disaster recovery. Disaster recovery features already in Windows Exchange Server 2007 include Local Continuous Replication and Cluster Continuous Replication. SP1 introduces Standby Continuous Replication, which allows replication between geographically dispersed areas. Data created in one place can be copied to other areas so that, in the event of failure or disaster, data from the other areas can be recovered automatically. However, replication will not happen automatically. “Restore after failure will be a manual process,” said Microsoft’s Mark Deakin, product manager for unified communications. “It has to be manual because it is two separate pieces of data.” Another new feature in the Exchange Server 2007 SP1 is a closer tie with Office Communications Server, with the ability to move voice m ...

8GB Asus Eee PC Priced and Quasi-Dated 2007-12-02 03:36:52 It looks like a Dynamism product listing has revealed about when the 8GB Asus Eee PC will be hitting store shelves and for just how much damage to your bank account. Listed for $499 as expected, the tiny laptop featuring 8GB of flash storage and 1GB of RAM will be shipping in mid to late December. So yes, it’s still in Christmas gift territory for those interested. It’s also confirmed here that, as Asus debunked already, the 8GB model will not feature a larger screen than its predecessors. So is the 8GB model still enticing? If you don’t want to void your warranty by adding extra RAM, then yes. But with its abundance of USB ports, the possibilities of extra storage aren’t quite as tempting as some extra horsepower under the hood. Is it worth saving $100 on the 4GB model? ... Asus
