Get out of my data center [2] Code Red the Dracula of worms [3] New Microsoft judge hard to read [4] New technologies simplify asset management [1] "Oi! Get out of my data center" A Morgan Stanley study shows Microsoft may have some work to do on its reputation, if not its products. The study shows many CIOs do not consider Redmond's stuff to be "enterprise class." For example, an underwhelming 16% of CIOs thought SQL Server was ready for the "big time." SOURCE: The Register http://www.theregister.co.uk/content/53/21254.html [2] "Code Red the Dracula of worms" Code Red may be leaving a permanent stain on cyberspace. A fresh variant of Code Red II was discovered last week. "CodeRed.d," as it's called, exploits the same flaw in IIS as the original Code Red. One antivirus expert thinks these worms may never stop procreating and that Code Red, in one form or another, will never go away.

[3] "New Microsoft judge hard to read" The judge wielding the gavel in this latest phase of the antitrust trial has a reputation for having a no-nonsense and organized approach to the law. Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly (try saying that name three times fast) is most experienced at meting out justice to murderers, although she has heard cases involving intellectual property and biotechnical issues.

Germany wants its IT workers back, the ones who have moved to "Amerika." How will Deutschland do it? They'll launch an ad blitz. This week, a Stuttgart-based economic development firm is paying for a plane to fly a banner that says "Back to Germany" over Southern California beaches. Sounds more like an order than an invitation doesn't it? Later this week, five planes will skywrite that same message over New York City. Later this year, a print media ad blitz will begin. Germany has been losing about 120,000 IT workers every year; about 15,000 move to the United States.
