Sometimes journalists get so wrapped up in the heat of competition that we lose sight of what's important to our readers. Take product release dates for example. The media are keenly focused on being the first to report when software is coming out - or if a release date will be missed. Perhaps we should first ask ourselves if readers even care about this issue.
In the case of Longhorn, several high-tech media outlets wrote stories last week that said Microsoft's planned release for the next version of Windows has slipped until 2006. Unfortunately, many of these stories were based on pure speculation, since Microsoft hasn't offered any new information about Longhorn lately.
So let me put it directly to you, the users of Microsoft's products: Are release dates important? Do you think we media-types are too obsessed with them? Feel free to send me an e-mail with your thoughts.

Handle a former employee's e-mail, part 4
When an employee leaves an organization, and the administrator
deletes the employee's mailbox, the Postmaster mailbox may be
bombarded with Non-Delivery reports for mail messages that were sent
to the former employees' e-mail address. Here's a simple idea that
can help resolve this problem. |

Access System Properties faster

administrators if they're unknown. Are you aware of the keyboard

Quickly find that buried command line executable

| Tip of the Week: |
| Windows 2000 Server and Windows Server 2003 Active Directory can be deployed in mixed mode, which allows for Windows NT 4.0 Server BDCs. In fact, when you upgrade to Windows 2000 Server, you first upgrade the PDC, and it's automatically acting in mixed mode. Thus the upgraded server acts as the PDC for all the backup domain controllers, and it serves as the interoperability partner to the Windows NT 4.0 BDC by being backward-compatible. |
