I've been collecting data and experiences for this post for a little over three months now, so I can speak with some level of certainty on the topic. This is one of those long ones, so either grab some coffee and a comfy chair or bookmark for later...
It's official! Apple will support connections to Exchange server in the next version of the iPhone, according to Apple's web site . No date has been made publicly available for the release of the next version of the iPhone software, nor does Apple...
Amy Babinchak and I gave a presentation at the Trend Micro/SBSFAQ.com SMB Security Summit in Sydney (talk about alliteration) in November, and we discussed the security implications of providing remote support to clients. In the discussion, we mentioned...
Yep, it's official, folks. Office 2008 for Mac was released to manufacturing (RTM) on December 12, 2007, which means it will be in the general population on January 15 (or January 16 in some parts of the world). What's the hubbub about Office...
This is a long post. You have been warned. Today is my day to try and get caught up on Leopard. I haven't been able to fully move over to Leopard on my main work machine for several reasons, which will become clearer shortly. I have Leopard up and...
OK, the first of the Leopard How-To's is now posted: Connecting a Macintosh running Mac OS 10.5 to an SBS 2003 Server is now online. There are some key differences between this version of the Mac OS and previous versions, but nothing really earth...
A Saturday morning trip to the area Apple Store finally got me my very own copy of Leopard. I would rather have had the media in my hands on Friday as indicated with the initial order, but I need to get outside sometimes, or so people keep telling me...
Strike one for Apple. Late Friday afternoon I knew that my copy of Leopard wasn't going to arrive on the 26th as stated on the sales order, so I decided it was time to try and get as much detail as I could. When I had spoken with a sales rep fromt...
Today is a big day for the Mac community - Apple is releasing Leopard, otherwise known as Mac OS X 10.5, at 6pm local time around the globe. Apple Stores around the world are putting on large showcases and thousands and thousands, if not millions, will...
For the last couple of months, I've been working (at the request of a couple of my clients) to enter the Apple Authorized Business Agent program with my business. I've had several clients who have started incorporating the Macintosh platform into...
Today's episodes of eOnCall start a two-week series on using the Macintosh in a Windows network. This is not a technical how-to like the Fresno session, but a business discussion of when it makes sense and how can it be done. If you or any of your...
I had an opportunity last week to present my "Connecting a Mac to your SBS Network" presentation to the Fresno chapter of SMBTN . Through the magic of LiveMeeting, we were able to record the presentation, and it's now available for viewing...
OK, so I'm just not happy leaving things like my last two blog posts - undone. This Fusion/Parallels/Vista/XP thing has really got my goat, so to speak, so I spent some time this weekend working through a lot of it. Here's what I've been able...
Just a week ago, I had the notion to take a serious look at Fusion and Vista on my Mac and posted my initial observations about it. Those observations, as noted, were based on just a few hours work with the product. Over the next few days, I had an opportunity...
So for the last 8 months I've been running along happily with Windows XP running under Parallels Desktop for Mac and going through all the updates that Parallels has made in the product. What I had initially hoped would be a product that would run...
