I recently needed to produce a PDF on my XP box at work, but as I didn’t have Adobe Acrobat Professional installed I had to do some digging. Luckily it didn’t take too long to find a convenient solution. Even…

Virtual PC set free - further thoughts
7/13/2006 – 8:45 am
After my initial post about Virtual PC and subsequent mailings to a couple of Web dev lists that I am subscribed to, I had a couple of interesting conversations on what this release means and why/if it is important. The question…
Virtual PC Set Free
7/12/2006 – 4:49 pm
Microsoft has set Virtual PC free. Makes me wonder if the folks in Redmond have taken notice of Apple’s free BootCamp or Parallel’s Desktop app. Use Virtual PC to “run multiple operating systems at the same time on the same physical computer. Switch…

Internet Explorer Open to New Trojan
12/31/2004 – 10:31 am
Symantec reports about a new virus that affects Windows XP, including those computers that are running Service Pack 2, which was supposed to lock down many of these vulnerabilities. Unsurprisingly, the trojan, Phel (Anagram of ‘help’) uses a hole in…
