Windows Server 2008 as a Workstation????


I recently read information about the possibility of customizing the highly regarded MS Windows Server 2008 to function as a Workstation. I guess if you really hate Vista and had the income to purchase Server 2008 ($999.99), looks like you could have the option of running Server 2008 as a workstation. There seems to be a debate whether this is something worth doing or not. Server 2008 and Vista do share the same Kernel, so there should not be too much of a difference between the two in performance......but I could be wrong!

Microsoft Safety Scanner

Looks like Microsoft did sneak a new on demand anti-malware scanner past us. Most would have been unaware of the new application if not for keeping up with various IT newletters, blogs and web sites, such as I do on a daily basis. This small application is downloaded as an .exe file and instead of being installed onto your Windows enironment, it is just ran directly from the .exe file to start the scanning process. One of the downsides to the program is that you have to re-download the file again, after ten days, to include the latest definitions for the program. If your willing to live with the small inconvienence, it looks like a good additional on-demand malware scanner, in additional to you main persistant anti-malware program. Just don't depend on this one alone as your main anti-malware program for your Windows OS environment. Microsoft Safety Scanner download

IP2Location

I was recently reading an article by Rick Vanover from Techrepublic.com on resolving the physical location from an IP address. Nice and useful tool when needed. This of course would not give you the exact location, but basically the relative location based on Country, State, City and ISP. IP2Location
