With the MS Assessment and Planning Solution Accelerator you can scan the computers in your network for information such as which OS and Service pack they are running, and if they are good candidates to upgrade to Vista. There are even some tools geared towards migrating your servers to 2008, and qualifying workloads that are good for virtualization. You can also generate some really nifty reports. These reports save a ton of time, and can help in presenting information to the managers in your life. In short this tool was designed with lazy admins in mind!

Sharon Stone's Karmic Assessment Of China
2008-05-28 11:19:00 The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts. Bertrand Russell I was going to write a brilliant post on Sharon Stone's attributing the Sichuan earthquake to "possible" karma, but since David Wolf over at Silicon Hutong beat me to it in his post entitled, "A Perspective on 'Karma,'" I hereby fully incorporate by reference all that David said, as though fully set forth herein. Having done that, however, I cannot resist pilfering word for word, the best part of David's post, dealing with how best to handle Ms. Stone's comments: There are, therefore, two correct responses to this situation: 1. Pointedly ignore Ms. Stone and others like her; or 2. Set out to clarify the record. I would never defend Ms. Stone and what she said. Personally, I find every word of her diatribe, the setting, and the political convictions that underlie it, utterly detestable. But by attacking her per...

Tax Assessment limits
2008-04-11 01:26:00 Excerpt from Florida Association of Realtors News and Events "Long odds for tax-assessment limits sought by Rubio TALLAHASSEE, Fla. - April 10, 2008 - Property taxes may not have dropped like a rock, but a measure to set in stone a 1.35 percent yearly cap in the growth of all future property-tax bills got hearings in the House and Senate on Wednesday. The proposed constitutional amendment would limit the increase in tax assessments on all homeowners, commercial, rental and investment property, to 1.35 percent a year. It mirrors a citizen petition drive that has been a top priority of House Speaker Marco Rubio that would put the tax limitation before voters in 2010. Organizers say they have collected more than 200,000 of the 611,000 signatures needed to place it on the ballot, although only 75,000 have been verified by the Secretary of State's office." My question is why wait till 2010??? What...

IMF Issues Gloomy Assessment of Markets
2008-04-09 08:28:00 News Press: IMF Issues Gloomy Assessment of MarketsThe International Monetary Fund on Tuesday said the global credit crisis, despite some recent improvement, remains a significant threat to economic growth.Despite "unprecedented intervention" by central banks such as the Federal Reserve, "financial markets remain under considerable strain, now compounded" by a slowing economy, low levels of capital at financial companies and widespread efforts to unload debt, the fund said.The U.S. mortgage and credit crises could cause almost $1 trillion in financial losses, the IMF said in an update to its Global Financial Stability Report, with $565 billion of those losses stemming from the residential mortgage market and related securities, and the rest from the commercial real estate, consumer credit and corporate debt markets. That estimate is toward the higher end of estimates by many Wall Street economists, who have pegged the costs of the residential mortgage meltdown at $400 billion to $6...
